FOOD PRODUCTION
IN IRELAND Bic
Head of the Irish Department of Ag-
riculture Shows What Ireland Is
Doing for the Allies in These Times
Of Stress-EXpOrt of Butter Pro-
hibited from the Island.
(By Associated Press)

Dublin, Feb. 27.-Food production
in Ireland this year is expected to
exceed all records, according to the
announcement of Sir Thomas Russell,
of the Irish Department of Agricul-
ture, who has made arrangements for
the tilling in 1918 of 100000 acres
of land in addition to that under cul-
tivation last year, when 100000 acres
more than in 1916 were planted. The
increase this year will be compulsory.
The government has guaranteed the
farmers against loss. Sir Thomas re-
ported that there had been no seri-
GUS difficulty in forcing the increase
in planting last year and that only
1,064 farmers had refused to carry out
the instructions of the government. Of
these, 800 had yielded, under pressure,
and he stated that the farms of the
remaining -G4 would be operated by
the Department of Agriculture.
There has been a considerable short
age OF butter and Its export has now
been prohibited by the government.
English buyers came over here and
went into the country buying at
higher price than the maximum and
there was not enough left for the Irish
market.
Ireland has begun to develop a mar
garine trade and factories have been
set up in various places, notably Cork
and Waterford
The general impression made on
English visitors to the Dublin hotels
is that Ireland is better off for food
than England and that the restrictions
have had much less effect.

LODGE ATTACKS

Fuel Administration Is Unnecessary

Republican Senator.
(BY Associated Pressl

Washington, Feb. 27.-Government
price-fixing is failure as a profiter-
ing preventative, Senator Lodge told
the Senate in reviewing the recent in
vestigations Of the coal and sugar
shortages. He said they served only
curtail production. He said the Fuel
Administration was an unnecessary
agency composed largely of amateurs"
and that sugar price fixing was
mistaken policy and the sugar fam
inc largely artificial"
He declared the Fuel dministra-
items attempt to substitute new
scheme Of distribution and it's reck-
less price fixing brought on coal
famile in this country, which has more
than any in the world. What we
needed was freight embargo, not
shutting down of industries. There
is no reason why the Fuel Administra
tion should exist he said, "and, so
far as he could learn, the only quail
fications of state fuel administra-
tions is that they should be Demo-

London, Feb. PA Russian Off

says the revolution will defend itself
against Germany. 1t announced that
Germany refused to sign an armistice.
but I'VE prepared to sign their peace
of usurpation. We already declared

the German imperialists do not desire
peace, but instead an immediate stran-
Cling of the revolution"
Special dispatches indicate that it
is unlikely the Germans will encoun-
ter difficulty in occupying Petrograd.
The Russian soldiers frankly refuse
to fight. The workmen are more en-
thusiastic over offering resistance.
Some correspondents say the bulk of
the population are apathetc and they
think the resistance will be of little
consequence.
A Daily News correspondent saws:
Immediately after the first few Ger
man soldiers appeared, the Russian
peasant soldiers, who, being peasants,
were interested merely in the land
question and cared nothing for the
revolution, started eastward in an un
controllable wave, threatening to sack
towns. The Russian army was Ger
manys strongest weapon. The revo-
lutionary workmen could have put up
a real fight against the Germans, but
the workmen could do nothing against
the Russian army, which must disap
pear before the revolution can begin
to create any real military force it.

VON HERTL|NG'S
SPEECH FALLING

English and French See in the Reply
to President Wilson'S Peace Terms
by the German Chancellor Only
Hun Camouilage TO Cover New Dep
rotations in Russia.
(By Associated Pressl

London, Feb. 27.-Evening newsra-
pers see little hope for peace in the
speech of Chancellor Won Hertling.
SO far as the British public is con-
cerned, Won Hertiing's words con-
cerning Germany's pacific intentions
and his partial acceptance of Wilson's
principles of peace fail upon almost
deaf ears.
The new war against helpless Rus
sia robs German statesmen of their
stock plea that Germany is waving a
war of self-defense.
The French press considers Won
Hertling's speech a continuance of
efforts to create differences between
the Entente.
The consensus of opinion in official
and diplomatic circles is that Van
.Hertling's speech is a war and not
peace speech. High officials said
the purposes are the speech were to
divide the Allies, stimulate peace talk
with an effort to bring about another
"Brest Litovsk," and to impress pub
lie opinion in Germany and abroad
that the military officials do not rule
Germany, but that the politicians have
the upper hand. One high official
said at is the voice of Hertling, but
the hand of Hindenburg"
