Lack of Supplies Causes Smithfeld
Market to Close Early.

LONDON. January 26.-The Londoner's
hunt for his weekend roast brought
less in the way of results today than
last week. Supplies were so small that
the gates of the Smithfield market were
closed before noon. Hundreds of disap-

to purchase meat or poultry at home
journeyed to the Smithfield market, but
were turned away empty-handed
Queues formed as early as o'clock
this morning in some of the suburbs,

done by water than by fire. The loss is
not yet computed. but will be heavy.
The fire was kept from the infiammable

pected. Admiral Bowles will be ex-
pected to give his entire time to hasten
ing the work.
The shipping board has reduced the
number of ways to be built by the
American International from fifty. as
originally planned. to thirty-two. and
will make an effort to start the laying
of keels and actual ship construction

ROME. January 26.--"We must keep

menting on the speeches of Chancellor

The Tribuna says peace is out of the

SH|PYARDS IN NEED
OF AN ARMY OF MEN.
Nationwide Drive to Recruit
25O,OOO Reserve Workers.
District Quota, 1890.

Wanted-1,sso Washington men to
work in American shipyards.
This is the substance of an appeal
which went forth last night from the
District Council Of DEFENSE as part of
a nationwide campaign to enroll re-
serve army of 250.0O0 workmen to meet
the needs of the United States Shipping
Board.
The council announced that Charles
V. Wheeler Of the Washington Steel
and Ordnance Company will be in
charge of the recruiting campaign in
the District. and will decide on the
places where recruits will be enrolled.
The campaign for shipbuilders is to
be carried on for the shipping board
through the various state councils of
defense. During two-week period be-
ginning January % the four-minute
men who boosted the liberty loans in
each state will repeat their speaking
propaganda to secure the shipbuilders.
District Quota, 1890.
The fact that Washington ia not an
industrial city and that nearly all the
mechanics in the city already are help
ing to win the war by working in the
navy yard is expected to make it diff
cult for the District to raise it's quota OF
1890 shipbuilders.
In urging the people of Washington
to cooperate in this campaign, Will
liam II. Baldwin. chairman of the Dis
trict Council of Defense, called atten
ton to the New Year message Of Lord
Northcliffe to America. Ships, ships
and more ships! Continuing, Mr.
Baldwin said:
Plans for the building of ships have
oeen broadly made. The materials. espe-
orally in steel, are readily available, with
plenty OF money to purchase them. The
United States Shipping Board is push
ing the work forward rapidly, but is
hindered by the lack of sufficient men
properly trained to do the work of
building the ships
Lack of Homes a Drawback.
In this connection an obstacle simi-
lar to that which makes it difficult to
OBTAIN a sufficient number Of employees
Tor the government in Washington is
round. for at many of the yards there
are no houses in which men who offer
their services in this work can live.
put steps have been taken to remedy
this in some of the shipyards by the
provision of ample funds
To supply this need of labor the
United States Shipping Board is under
taking to recruit a reserve army OF
highly skilled mechanics numbering NOT
less than 100000 men, who will hold
themselves in readiness for any call
and pledge themselves to go when and
where they are needed. The shipping
board. backed up by the Council of Ma
nonai Defense. appeals through the
trict of Columbia to join in this move
ment and furnish it's quota of 1890
men. which it is hoped can be obtained
within the next two weeks"

PLEA TO CHECK KILLING
OF IMMATURE ANIMALS
Nrs. John W. Mitchell of Paeonian
Springs, Va, Tells of
Wasted Meat.

So interested Is Mrs. John William
Mitchell of Paeonian Springs, Va, in
the question of waste through the
slaughter of immature animals, partic-
ularly calves, that she has taken the
trouble to ascertain the number of
these little animals butchered every
month In the very small town where
she makes her home.
at have found out that in my home
settlement, with a population of not
more than 500 the average number of
calves killed and shipped away is thir-
ty month. or $50 a year." she told
representative of The Star yesterday
That's quite number. and there are
thousands of villages of the same size
in the United States which maintain
II they do not exceed. the same average
Average 100 Pounds.
II found out also that the average
weight of these baby bulls and cows is
about 100 pounds. II left aiune until
they were two years old, for instance
they would average between 1000 or
1,400 pounds, more than ten-fold in
soldiers. or soldiers of our allies, those
thirty animals in the form of beef
would feed.
IL often think Of 1t, I can tell YOU. be-
cause have a boy serving as an avi-
ator In the United States Army. 1t
certainly brings 1t home to you when,
instead of considering nationwide sta
tistics, you consider, as definite. con-
crete example. what is going on re-
garding food waste in your own par
tfcular village.
Impressed by Letter.
.T was much impressed by the letter
published recently in The Star, written
by Mrs E. l. Graham. regarding the
waste OF calves and her statement that
although numoI GUS attempts have been
made to discourage the sale of veal 20
long as It, like alcohol, is on the market
there will be purchasers. The veal habit
