new CITY FISH
MARKET WILL
LOWER PRICES
Tenant Firms Now Moving
in Will Begin Business
in Few Days.

That the campaign now being con-
Quoted by the District Food Admins
tration to lower the price Of fish will
be greatly assisted by the new munich
pal fish market, at Eleventh and
Water streets southwest, is the be-
lief Of George NJ. Roberts, superin-
tendent Of Weights. Measures, and
Markets, of whose department Of the
city government the new market Is
q part
Although the day on which the first
Of the stores in the market will be
open for business is not yet known.
the first Of the tenants will move in
tomorrow and will commence busi-
ness as soon as the new quarters
have been fitted out. Through Mr..
Roberts efforts the greater part of
the twenty-five stores in the market
have already been leased. and he ex-
poets to have the remainder leased
within thirty days.
All Sanitary CoRvenienees.
The market. which is owned by the
District Of Columbia, was built at a
total cost of $125.OOO. When fully COM
pleted It will have every known mod
ern sanitary convenience. In addi-
ton to the twenty-five stores it con-
tains a modern refrigerating plant. A
large restaurant Is on the second floor
for the convenience of employees.
The rent charged the fish dealers
will be very low in order that there
may be no excuse for profiteering. It
Is Mr.. Roberts intention to keep
close watch of the dealers and the
prices charged by them for fish. This
may be unnecessary. as all the deal
ers who have so far rented stores in
the market have promised Mr.. Rob-
erts that nothing but an absolutely
fair price for fish will be charged.
When the market is in full opera
tion it will be possible for the people
of Washington to buy fish, oysters
and other sea foods there at much
cheaper rates than in any other part
of the city. All OF the wholesale
dealers have promised to conduct a
retail business as well, and many
will sell only at retail.
Many New Fish Firms.
Among the concerns which have
rented stores in the market are a
large firm with stores in Washing
ton Market. New York City another
from Boston. and many other firms
which have never before appeared
on the local fish market
The new market will handle all the
fish from the Potomac and the oysters
and other sea food from Chesapeake
Bay The opening Of the market AT
this time Is especially opportune, as
the use of fish IS being urged as a
substitute for meat. and the new mar
ket will enable Washington's people
to purchase all sea foods in abun-
dance and at a reasonable price. Re-
cent Investigations conducted by Clar-
ence r. Wilson, Food Administrator
OF the District. uncovered the fact
that many Washington fish dealers
were charging prices which gave them
profit Of between 800 and 400 per
cent. and even one case in which a
dealer was making $40 per cent.
Under the supervision of the Superin-
tendent of Markets such cases will be
impossible.

PRUSSIANS ARE BACKING RULER
 IN HIS CLAIMS
Associated fressI


 BERNIE. Jan. 19.-By an over whelming vote, the Prussian cham Der of lords today reafflrmed the exclusive right of the German em- peror to mako war or peace It also expressed the hope that the gov ernment's peace terms will safe guard the kaiser's rIshts and secure terms commensura,e with the sacri- fees Of the German people in carry ing on the war.
 This action of the prussian cham. Der Is merely another indication that the German ml.ltary r'l'' .s are con vinced that they are Ermiy seated in the saddle and mean to keep a close grip on Germany until the very last breath. It Is an expression of the continued belief in the divini- ty of the appointment of the kaiser as ruler of Germany and the right of Germany to make war in any manner prescribed by him. and peace according to the dictates of the government and not the wishes of the common people.

DEMAND BETTER DISTRIBUTION
 FOOD SUPPLIES
lASSOciaIeh rraSSl

tASSoCldteD SSt
 LONDON, Jan. 19.-For~ the first time since the beginning of the war. several serious food demonstrations were reported today. In several places many workmen paraded in demonstrations demanding a better system of food distribution. Appeals were made to the government to relieve the situation so that there would be sufficient supplies in all places.
 In some towns it is admitted that women waited hours before food shops and were finally sent home empty-handed. unable to secure sup. plies. This condition Is being re- lieved tonight by the food director. It is not caused by any shortage in food supplies. but by a failure of the distribution system to meet the existing conditions.
 There was no disorder at any of the demonstrations, and when the appeals had been made to the au- thorities the workmen dispersed with out being forced to do so. In no place was there any semblance of rioting.

SHIP OWNED BY
 UNNATURALIZED
 GERMAN SEIZED
Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The plea sure yacht Joyeuse, which is be lieved to be the property of Emi. Kleuge. a German residing at Engle wood, N. J., was this morning seized by United States marshals. The of. ficials state that the yacht was equip ped with powerful wireless outfit which would be able to communi- cate with vessels far out at sea. The vessel is built of steel and could be very easily converted into an auxiliary war vessel. without any great expenditure or labor. It has recently been cruising along the At lantic coast with no apparent des- tination and no purpose which could be discovered. It was the mysteri. ous cruising which aroused the curi. osity and suspicion of the authori- ties.
 Kleuge has been resident of Am erica for several years, but has never been naturalized. He was aboard the vessel at the time of the seizure. The Joyeuse was manned entirely by Swedish crew, not an Ameri. can or Englishman being on board.
 The government will probably con. fiscate the vessel, and intern Kleuge as an enemy alien until the end of the war.

 ON WIDE FRONT

 ROME, Jan. 19.-The Teuton lead. CTS have apparently determined to make another serious effort to break through the Italian lines on the lower Piave river, and have launched sev- eral serious assaults there in the last week. The latest one of these was driven at the Italian positions Friday, and was repulsed with con siderable losses, number of Teu ton prisoners being taken.
 The attack was made on wide front by great masses of enemy in fantry. The Italian gunners had the range perfectly, and tore great gaps in the enemy ranks with artillery Under murderous machine gun fire the Teuton forces wavered and re. treated to their positions without ever entering the Italian lines.
