International News Service

LONDON, Feb. 24-The sacri-
fees demanded by Premier Lloyd
George in his submarine speech in
the house of commons will readily
be made by the British people. the
newspapers declared today.
Although the import restrictions
will work some hardships it is felt
that everything ought TO be subord-
mated to the needs of the war.
The fact that the premier did not
try to hide the real dangers nor
paint a picture of the future in
glowing colors, gave emphasis 70 the
demands which he made upon the
English people.
The parliamentary correspondent
Of the Chronicle i'm discussing the
situation today said:
Some members of commons
think that the prime minister drew
too dark a picture of the existing
situation. but there has been so
much complacent optimism in the
NOuiNA AbOhA AAAN wa AAAeAA q WI
receive was necessary. Lloyd George
was right i'm refusing 10 mask reali-
ties. for you do not get rid of them
by covering them with a gauze of
words and pretense."

following articles that may not be

ance with the new regulations:

AMSTERDAM, Feb. "a. If the
entente powers demand reparation
from Germany after the war Ger
many will make a counter demand
for indemnity and it will not be any
paper allusion," said Count Won
Rodern. of the Germany treasury in
speech in the reichstag.
The speech was delivered on Fri
day in connection with the 10000
GOO. OOO mark vote Of war credit,
says a dispatch from the German
capital today.
There were nearly 90 votes against
the war credit, the opposition being
led by Herr Lededbour. a radical
newspaper man. He made a speech
against the submarine warfare but
his words were greeted with such
.boisterous laughter that he could
scarcely be heard Herr I1edebour
started off by cOndemning Germany's
peace offer saying that it did not
contain a single essential and that
il had no value as a means of end
ling on conflict.
Count Won Rodern declared that
the country is confident of victory
and that in some respects Germany
is better off than the allied countries.
This was particularly so in the mat
ter Of coal.
The end of the war is not yet in
sight. declared the treasury official,
who said it is going to "be fight TO
a finish"
Count Won ROdern said that the
submarine had never been introduced
as an instrument Of war until the
present conflict and that as a result.
|the old international rules of war
did not apply TO its use.

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-Fearful
mat actual starvation will face
thousands in New York's crowded
tenement districts before the slow
moving machinery of the law can
grind out food for them, an appeal
was launched here today for public
spirited citizens with the means to
come forward and help. II is an
nounced that if a number of men
can be prevailed upon to put up sew
eral hundred thousands of dollars
food can be bought and sold to the
ghetto residents at prices they can
AFFORD to pay, the donors in the
meanwhile losing nothing but the
use OF their money.
George W. Perkins, head of
Mayor MitcheTs food supply COM
mission, gave the project its initial
push by ordering from the Pacific
coast, three million pounds of rice
and a carload Of smelts. These will
be rushed here Immediately and sold
10 the poor at prices which will
barely cover the actual cost and
transportation. Ii IL hoped that
within the next week many carloads
OF other foods-particularly pota-
toes. onions cabbage, turnips and
fsh-can be secured by similar
methods.
