Gold Movement Blamed for High
 Prices for Foods

London, March 1-The present high cost of food in Europe is attrib uted by Sir Auckland Geddes, pres ident of the board of trade, to the fact that there is an enormous accu- mutation of gold in America, which he estimated at roughly nine times more than before the war In an address at the Victoria Working Mems club he said currency had gone down with bang. That was what thev meant when they said that cost of living had advanced.
 Until the gold now in America be- gan to flow to this country fall in the cost of living could not be ex- pected, said Sir Auckland. There was only one solution of the pres ent position, and that was that somehow this country would have to largely increase it's volume of prod uction. This, he said, would bring about fall in prices of commodi- ties

demands of the United States for cotton for it's own use were becoming greater. It would be a mortal blow to Lancashire, to Great Britain and the United States as well, he said, if prices continued to soar.
 Edwin Stockton, president of the Manchester chamber of commerce. presented resolution, which was unanimously adopted, expressing ap- preciation of the cotton employers decision to contribute levy of six pence per bale toward the cost of expanding the cotton fields and ask ing the government to make finan- cial provision which would, in com bination with the money subscribed in the industry, give effect to the proposals of the Empire Cotton com mittee, to promote cotton growing within the Empire.

Hotels Are Few,
 LOndOnerS Warn
 Tourists From U. s.

London, March 11.-Americans who contemplate coming to England this spring or summer, and London. CTS expect there will be thousands of them, should be definitely assured before leaving that hotel accommo- dations have been arranged, says the hotel managers. Otherwise it is probable they may be unable to find a place to stay, particularly in Lon don.
 It will be difficult for London to handle a great influx of people this summer, say the managers, and they expect many disappointments among Americans who even attempt to arrange accommodations some time ahead of arrival. The better hotels of the city can not find room for more than 4,000 at one time, they are full now and many people have engaged rooms months ahead.
 Some Englishmen who have just returned from the United States es innate that 100000 Americans vii attempt to see England en route tt the battlefields of France this sum mer. More conservative observers however, place the number far be low that.

Madrid. March 1.-The applica- tions for vises for passports for America received at the American consulate in Madrid has, since the beginning of the wear, exceeded all recent records. Most of the appli- cations come from the province of Salamanca, some of the smaller will lages of which have been practically de-populated owing to the depart ure of these emigrants. They are chiefly farm laborers, with a fair sprinkling however, of skilled arti- sans, bricklayers especially being attracted by the wages in America.
 Some of the emigrants take theil families with them. The majority however. either wait until they have prepared home for them, or gather a little fortune together and return
