As can be seen. prices, although in
every instance higher than The pre-war

comparison TO those prevailing during
the war. On the other hand. the Rot
terdam correspondent Of the Vossische-
Zeitung adds. the prices Of fruits and
vegetables are today higher than at
any period urlng the war. Strawber-
ries, cherries and gooseberrles. which
prior to the war sold at IS to 20 cents

but they are constantly going back, as

the rise Of prices advanced from i60

in June. 1917.
Turning TO the after-war tendency
OF price movement in neutral cOun-

report, not only did the signing OF

BY FIGHTING STRIKE
Portuguese Public Supports
Efforts to Run Railroads
Despite Walkout
AUTHORITIES
FIGHT BOLSHEVISTS

LONDON Sept. i2.-The political sit
uatlon in Portugal is analyzed by the
Lisbon correspondent OF the London
Morning Post in a dispatch TO his paper.
He says:
The present Portuguese government
came into power on Peace Day. It's
time has been mainly occupied with
the railway strike which began four
days later. Although the length OF the
strike has 0ccasiOned great loss and in
convenience. public opinion is satisfied
that the government should have dealt
with It as u has instead Of bringing 10
10 a speedy end by accepting the pre-
posierous demands Of the strikers. who
have supported these demands by acts
OF an openly revolutionary character.
The government, while refusing TO
treat with the strikers has directed It's
efforts toward regularlzing the train
service. and, after overcoming many
difficulties, has been successful. There
IS likely to be far less inclination to
strike In future and no sympathy
whatever will be shown toward the
strikers.
While the government has shown
Vigor in this and other ways In COM
batting B0lsheyism, a certain tendency
toward moderation has also displayed
itself. With a few lamentable eXcep-
tions the royallst prisoners tried by
the courts-martial have received very
slight Sentences. Lieutenant Duarte,
the devoted friend Of the late President,
who has been released from prison, has
certainly not been cOnciliatory toward
those now in power, whom he consid-
ers guilty Of the Presidents death. The
bishops accused Of taking part in the
royalst rising in the north have not
been banished, and relations between
Portugal and the Vatican have been
maintained.
Dissolution OF Parliament has been
accepted in principle, although .here
are differences OF opinion as TO lis
practice. Some are stiH IN favor OF
the Parliament dissolving itself: others
bold that the President Of the republic
sh0us have the right TO dissolve It
only after consultation with body
composed Of the ex-Presidents OF the
republic and the ex-Prernicrs.
So large a body would constitute vir-
fUally another Parliament. this year
