Men, Women and Children
Join in Demonstrations
Throughout Country
Many Shops Closed
Thousands Besiege London
Butcher Shops, but Many
Leave Empty Handed

LONDON. Jan. 19.-Demonstrations
to demand better distribution Of food
were held at Brighton, at Erth, in
Kent, and at other places in England
to-day, while men, women and children
stood in lines, in many cases in vain,
for a Sunday roast, margarine, butter
or tea.
At Firth 5000 workers from one OF
the big war factories formed process
sion and marched to the local food
committees Offices to protest against
their wives and children having to
wait long hours outside the shops Of
grocers and butchers and then go away
empty handed. The men say that
owing to the scarcity of food they are
unable to work. and the percentage OF
illness has been high.
Meanwhile the butchers shops were
closed and the grocery stores were
virtually sold out this morning, and
men were waiting in the streets for
the food committee to take some
action.
Food demonstrations in London and
in many other parts of the country
were bigger and more numerous than
ever to-day. Everywhere in London
crowds gathered at the butcher shops
at an early hour, there being at least
a thousand persons at o'clock wait
ing to be served in the retail section
of the Smithtield Market Most of
these got limited portions and were
luckier than persons in the suburbs,
manv of whom were unable to get any
meat, the retailers having received
only fraction of their supply. This
was due not so much to the shortage
of cattle and sheep as to the weather.
which made it impossible in many dis
tricts to bring livestock to the mar
ket, and to the faulty distribution Of
the meat available.
The supplies of margarine arc in
creasing, but here again distribution
is complained of, some sections being
we'll supplied while others had only
the scanticst of allowances

pulled out knife whose blade was
measured at calmer moment in the
West Thrtieth Street police station
and found to be eight inches long.
Neither kron nor Bustwick had a yard
stick handy at the time and the esti-
mates they formed were erroneous.
You better put that up" advised
Bustwick.
Toomey obeyed and picked up a
chair. with which he pursued Bustwick,
succeeding at last in striking him a
gancing blow on the head. Kron was
occupied at the time at window.
whence he blew repeated blasts on a
police whistle.
Just as Bustwick staggered back
from the blow on the head Private De-
tective John Goudart, who had seen the
coat and hat hanging from the cleo
trolicr in the hall and had deduced that
office. He Joined Kron at the window,
and duet Of police whistles interest
ed Forty second Street and brought
Traffic Policeman Mccarthy on the run.
Stove Lid His Weapon
When Mccarthy entered, Toomey,
who evidently felt that Bustwick's en-
had drawn stove lid litter from his
hip pocket and was advancing upon the
two whstling private detectives Nc
Carthy foored him with his fist. A
charge of felonious assault was lodged
against him at the West Thirtieth
Street police station, and he was sent
10 Bellevue Hospital for observation.
Mrs. HumSto returned to her Of
fee half an hour later She said that
Toomcy had visited her few days ago
and declared that she was talking about
him "behind his back and the back of
his house" She gct rid of him then
Mrs. Humiston declared that since her
nolice badge and police detectives had
been taken from her she had received
many threatening letters, and intimatcd
that she wouldn't feel safe until she
got both back again.
Yesterdays mystery was somewhat
complicated by the statement made at
Headquarters that detective had been
sent to Mrs. Humiston's Office in re-
sponse to a telephone message that a
murderer was going to call there at 6
p. m. 1t was said that the detective
had waited until and then called it a
day. Mrs. Humston declared that she
knew nothing Of the message

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Despite the
fact that the Department of Justice has
practically dropped the case against
Walter Spoermann, arrested last week

Committee on Military Affairs, speak
ing at luncheon given in honor of
Senator George f. Chamberlain and
himself in recognition of their efforts
to make the United States military
forces efficient, yesterday advocated
the hanging of few pacifists as one
means OF increasing efficiency.
The luncheon was given by the Ma
tlonal Security League, and the 1,SO0
members and guests, who crowded every
inch of space in the grand ballroom
OF the Astor cheered the suggestion.
Representative Kahn began his ad
dress by declaring that no nation is
the sole arbiter of it's own destinies.
citing the German submarine declara-
ton which forced this country into the
war as proof Of the failure of pacjfist
theories.

VINO do not want to get ready for this
war, and the time has come when the
strong arm of the government should

After Mr.. Menken had paid his

Negotiations have just been COM
pleted with the various dairy breed
associations by Prof NJ o. Vaughan
of the dairy department whereby the
name Chinook" will be reserved by
all the associations for the exclusive
use of the Washington State College
dairy department. The word Chi

in naming all the dairy cattle here
after at the dairy department.
All registered animals must have
names. Some are extremely long
and meaningless, Mr.. Vaughan has
so arranged it that whenever the

name of an animal. one can be sure
that animal came from the Washing

SKILLED MECHANICS
MAY BE CONSCRIPTED
Carpenters Especially Needed-May
BE Taken for Shipbuilding, Steel
Workers and Electricians
Also

The appointment of l.. L. Bruning
of ColfaX as Whitman county director
of the bureau of labor means more
than the listing of school boys for
mechanics whose services may be
needed by the government, must reg
lister the same as the men of draft
age, and be in position to answer
the call of the government when
their services are needed. Carpen-
ters are especially in demand for
shipbuilding. Woodsmen and saw
mill men may be needed for getting
out the vast quantities of spruce tim
Der needed for airplane work Elec-
tricians and steel workers, horse
shoers and blacksmiths are in de
mand.
The government wants all Of these
listed so that when they are needed
they may be called The men will
not be conscripted if enough labor
can be obtained without it, but the
indications are that CONSUMPTION of
labor may be adopted soon. The
men employed by the government
will get top" wages, running as high
as 81 per day for highly skilled la
Dor, but if CONSUMPTION is adopted
the men will have to answer when
called. Men of draft age will not be
exempted from military service be-
cause Of being engaged in govern
ment work, but there is no age limit
any able bodied man able to do a
days work and understanding the
work to which he will be assigned, is
eligible. 1t is believed that Whit
man county is likely to be left with
insufficient carpenters to do any
building of moment as carpenters
are needed in ship building and will
be called first. Farmers who are
planning granaries should take this
into account and get their work done
before the carpenters are all taken
from the county
After the goyernm ent's wants are
supplied with skilled labor the bu-
reau. Of which Mr.. Bruning is Whit
man county director, will take up the
question of supplying farm labor.
High school boys, capable of doing
farm work, will be enrolled and list
ed. If a farmer is in need of help
Mr.. Bruning wants to know it and
wants the farmers order. He will
try to fill it. Orders should be sent
