ble, Expert Says-Market Panic
"a es Great Importance Impending.
Effects Of Foodssuff .Importa-
tions Being Felt Already.

New York, Jan. 29.-Food specu-
lators in the United States hold the
greatest stock of edibles ever gath
cred together in storage warehouses
q, this country. Prices are higher
tt-..-1.n ever il the history of America.
Prices cannot maintain the high lew

Production of meats is cheaper and
as consequence the governments
price of S17.50 for hogs is bound to

portance is impending. These are
statements made today by P. @. Foy,
market expert, to the United Press.
4 South American, New Zealand,
Australian and Siberian goods are
beginning to appear on the market,
Foy also said, and the effect is being
felt. Prices must fall more than
they have recently and spectators
stand to lose millions in the tumble.
Already, Foy stated, SPECTATORS
in New York have felt a million slip
out Of their pockets through the i'm
portation and sale Of 5o0,0o0,O0O
pounds Of Siberian butter. AS much
more, he said, will be thrown on the
market. Australian and New Zeal
and dairy products, he declared, are

in the smashing of the food specula-
tors. - ..,.
Foy quoted figures to prove that
production has reached its highest
point. He declared it has climbed to
such figure that Cutting of the
market is certain to follow. People,
he pointed out, have been living on
reduced rations during the war,
while the government has urged
greater production. The result has
been a staggering accumulation OF
foodstuffs in warehouses.

LABOR STRIKE PARALYZES ....
THE BRITISH ISLES
100, 900 Walk Out in Belfast Alone;
Movement Continues to Spread In
Irish Town Despite Efforts of
Shipyard Workers to End
Trouble.

London, Jan. :28.-It is estimated
that nearly 100000 men and women
are idle in the United Kingdom and
Ireland because of strikes in various
trades, creating one of the most ser
ious situations industrially the coun-
try has had to face in many years.
Half of Of the strikers are in Belfast,
where the strike movement is contin-
$uiag to spread.
The city Of Belfast by night vir-
tually is in total darkness, the hos
pitfalls being the only place where
lights can be shown without danger
of attacks by strikers. Everywhere
else the display of a light has caus-
ed either the stoning or the storm
ing of the premises.
This morning men in various OF
the smaller industrial plants who
had remained at work came out for
saety's sake, the picketing raving
become more extensive. One Of the
morning newspapers was forced to
suspend publication. The shipyard
workers are opposed to the strike
and are endeavoring to arrange a
meeting for Wednesday.
There is no change in the situa-
ton ON the Clyde where 10000 ship
yard workers are out, nor in Lon
don, where 5000 ship repairers are
striking.
To these must be added $4,000
Fifeshire miners, 5000 South Wales
miners, 5000 Edinburg shipwrights,
1000 Manchester lockers, 1000
South Wales shipyard,' men and a
number Of Glasgow municipal work
ers.
Except in London, where the ques-
tion at stake is one of wages, all
these strikes are due, to a demand
: for shorter hours with the same
privileges and wages as prevailed
when longer hours were worked.

DANIELS SEES A -. ..
GREATER NAVY
America Should Not Be Beholden
to Any Other Nation.

Annapolis, Nd, Jan. 31.-1n pre-
senting commissions today to the last
class of reserve officers trained at
the United States Naval Academy
during the war, Secretary Danials
predicted there t'will be no time of
recession of interest in the navy"
"Not in your day" the naval secre-
tary told the young officers, "will
there be any reduction Of naval pow
er. We are now on the last stretch
of building the three year program
of naval construction which was au-
thorized three years ago."
Secretary Daniels said he had no
doubt Congress would authorize the
recommendation of President Wilson
for another three years program Of
construction. In building ships un-
der that program, he said, types of
vessels would be constructed which
would "keep our navy abreast Of any
nation" in the world.
eve shall not build against any
nation" the Secretary continued, "be
cause we have faith that the league
of nations will bring about such
friendship and understanding among
all nations as will ultimately cause
a reduction in armament and con-
sequent decrease of expenditures for
naval strength. We shall not build
against any nation, but so long as
this republic needs navy, we must
have one, for our own protection and
to preserve the peace of the world,
that will be powerful, strong and
modern. .,.-. ...
"It would be sin for America,
rich and powerful, to be beholden to
any other country for naval protec-
ton. We must in whatever sort of
world police shall be needed in the
new order, contribute as many units
and as much strength as any other
nation. Is
"We must remember always that
the maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine is our peculiar responsibility
and duty, and for its proper mainte-
nance and our duty to secure to all
the smaller nations of the world the
rights to which, they are entitled, we
must maintain a navy strong enough
and powerful enough to measure up
to our responsibility and our obliga-
.tions." ~ ;.
Mr.. Daniels said it was the plan
of the navy department after the
treaty of peace is signed to maintain
trained and efficient naval reserve
force which would be ready for in
slant mobilization in event of an
emergency. :

Atlanta, Ca Special -"Few peo'
pie realize the actual money saving
power OF the home vegetable garden
and what it can be made to contrib
ute in the way of food for the fam.
lily table," says President ii. G. Has
rings, of the Georgia State Chamber
Of Commerce, and the Southeastern
Fair, in discussing the matter OF food
supply for the South in 1919
Uncle Sam through the United
States Department of Agriculture, "
aid Nh Hastings, ESTIMATED the
falue of the vegetables produced last
car in home gardens OF the United
States at three hundred and fifty mil
ion OF dollars. This means that much

from their store bills.
Whenever there is lack Of teOd or
money to buy food no matter wheth-
er it he due to worldwide food scare
ity, boil Weeyil damage or other cause,
the first word Uncle Sam passes out
to the sufferer is to make Il good big
home garden Why? Because the
right kind Of home garden is the
quickest, cheapest and best source Of
food supply there is.
The great trouble here in the South
is that our people don't take the home
garden seriously enough, or give it
the attention that its Importance as a
food producer and mOney-saver juSti-
fees. # is mostly made with lick
and a promise and the cultivation and
replanting it gets during the growing
season is mostly of the uniulfilled
promise kind
With the present and certain-tO-be
continued high food prices on the one
hand, and the very great uncertainty
as to the price that cotton or other
cash crops win sell for next fall, it is
a time above all others to play safe.
This is no time to gamble on COZ
ten None Of US can tell within 10
cents a pound what IT will sell for

or no store debts for food, producing
his own and family needs on home
