GREAT RICE SHORTAGE
nv THE PHILIPPINES
Conditions Are Almost Like a Famine
in That Food Product-Situation
Adds to Seriousness of In
fuenza Epidemic.

San Juan, p. r., Dec 10 correspond
ence of the Associated Press Many
towns in the island are without sin
gle bag of rice and the shortage in many
localities has brought about a condi-
ton described by those in position to
know as bordering on famine.
This food shortage is adding very
greatly to the seriousness of the infuen-
"a epidemic and many deaths are at
tributed not so much to the disease it
self as to the complications brought
about by lack of food
Shipments of rice from New Orleans
and other gulf ports which are now
from four to six weeks overdue, prob
ably will bring some relief, but in the
meantime the island authorities antici-
pate much suffering and hardship that
at present they seem powerless to pre-
vent.
According to Albert i. Lee, federal
food commissioner and chairman of the
Porto Rico food commission, the ques-
ton now is wholly one of transportation
and the commission has considered the
local situation so serious that it has urged
upon the United States shipping board
the necessity of immediate relief, Help
has been promised by the shipping board
but so far the local food commission
has not been advised of the sailing of
any ships bringing rice.
For the first time in year and half
the food commission has no reserve
stock of rice on hand, all Of its stock
having been released as needed in anti
cipation of the arrival of the new crop,
In order to provide the Red Cross with
rice needed for the relief of earthquake
sufferers the commission was forced TO
pick up small lots of rice here and there.
Many sugar centrals in the island en-
ploying large quantities of labor have
been securing the island for rice at any
price in order to provide food for the
sick on their plantations. In many in.
stances they have not been able to buy
single bag.
-Four ships, each one of which was to
have brought rice to Porto Rico, have
been delayed in sailing by strikes or
other causes or else have been rushed
to Europe with food supplies which are
badly needed there. Whether other ships

 Dear Little Friend: I received your box Christmas morning, and cannot tell you how glad l was to know that little girl in far-off America thought enough of me to send such a nice present. It was nice that you made some trench candles and put in the box too, for we have dug-out right behind our hut, and when old Fritz shells us sometimes. we all run for the dug-out. There are towns here larger than Newport that haven't house stand ing in them. All the houses are made of brick, and they arc just mass of ruins. There are troops here from Canada, Australia, France, England and India, and we also see some Ger man prisoners. I am not allowed te tell much of what I see here, but when I get back home, will come to see you and tell you all about it. Il is nearly time for taps to blow, so must go to bed, and will close, with kindest regards to your mother ano father, and lots of love for you, re main

To Messrs Lawrence Bailey and
 Others:

To Messrs Lawrence Bailey and
 Others:
 In response to your call published in the Independent, January 29, 1918, requesting that I become a candidate for the office of mayor, l wish first to express to you my great apprecla- tion of the honor you have conferred on me in suggesting that run for the office Whether l am elected or not, I feel that the request of so large a number of representative citizens that announce for the office, is an expression of their confidence and good will toward me as citizen.
 Aside from the honor which the petition itself confers, as higher in centive to aspire to the office, l feel that every citizen owes something to the community in which he lives, and by reason of this obligation, should sacrifice something of his own time and private business interests to rem der service to his fellowman.
 I therefore accept the call and here by announce myself a candidate for the office of mayor of Newport, sub feet to the primary election, and earnestly bespeak the support of all good citizens of the city, and should I be elected, will endeavor to the best of my ability, to administer the af- fairs of the office honestly, fairly and impartially.
 Respectfully,

A few days ago a petition bearing the names of more than two hundred representative cit izens of the town, was presented to Dr. Watson urging his candidacy.
 These many friends will be glad to learn that Dr. Watson has consented to make the race. He Is progress sive business man, of sterling charac- ter, and doubtless would render the people of Newport great service Tn the capacity of mayor.
