unless a combination or agreement is
shown in an attempt to control prices"
said r. J. Hopkins, attorney general.
IF a merchant charges 100 or 200

it, that is their business. If there is a
combination to force such prices. we
can prosecute. But the public will

when it is advised of abnormal profits.
There is no reason WHY the public
should not have the facts when a mer-
chant adds an abnormal profit merely
because he can do 1t. In such cases
we will give the newspapers the names
of such merchants. as well as their
invoice and selling prices"

 Mir. Heinz says reports that some of the refugees, driven frantic by hunger and suffering, have resorted to cannibalism, are true, in his opinion. He adds that food for 5OO,0OO in that territory will have to be provided by outside sources for another year.
 The lack or food Is so serious" says the telegram, that the women are forced to go into the fields and obtain grass roots which they cook into a kind of broth and serve as boiled greens, occasionally getting a bit of rice to mix with 1t. This con- stitutes the principal diet or many. The little children, naturally get the worst of this situation because they cannot eat such material, and It IS among the children that the death rate is the highest.

 Regarding reports of cannibalisrr which have come out of the district of Goa I have been forced against my will to believe these reports to be true. I saw with my own eyes muti- lated remains of cOrpses which have been exhumed from newly made graves. I did not see anybody who had actually witnessed the eating of human flesh but there is so much clrcumstantial evidence of this that l personally came to believe it true,
