FOOD. PRICE HAS
 EFFECT ON LABOR
WOrkmen Demand More Money to Meet Increased Cost of Living

Berlin. Feb. o2.-Gradually increas- ing prices for food in Berlin have caused q corresponding increase in the demands of workmen for higher wages and strikes. or the threat of strikes hang over virtually every business in the city.
 Approximately 1000. .OOO persons are reported unemployed in Germany, the majority of them 1n reduced circum- stances, some facing starvation. Four months ago 2S4. .1S1 women were seek ing employment, according to the labor ministry's estimate, and it was announced BOG, 900 persons shortly will be out of work or on short time, the latter being unable to earn enough to support themselves.
 Nearly every municipality in Ger many is occupied with the problem of providing work for unemployed and adjusting wage difficulties, in an effort to forestall the spread of strikes and further dscontent.
 The meat shops of Berlin are we'll stocked with choice cuts and have large supplies of imported cheese, oils, pickles and other viands, but, as win ter advances, prices continue to go up and sales fall off. With nothing saved from summer wages, workmen are facing the problem of expenditures for fuel for heat and warm clothes in addi- tion to food and the fact that the pay of many falls short of meeting these expenses has caused a spread of unrest.
 Sporadic strikes already have oc- cured, not only in Berlin but also in the provinces and, while there has been no evidence that n general strike is probable. the situation is causing state and municipal governments much con- cern.
 Proprietors of food shops say prices are higher than they were a year ago when nothing was being imported be- cause n viGilant watch is kept on smuggling and import duties, now being paid. are necessarily added to the retail price of commodities. As q result they

CARE FOR PACIFIC FLEET
Pearl Harbor. T.. s. Naval Base at Hawaii, Will be Made Capable of Harboring Ships.

Honolulu, T. H., Feb. 25.-Pearl Harbor, the United States naval base in Hawaii, is to be made capable of supplying and taking care of the en- tire Pacific fleet. according to the an- nouncement of Rear Admiral w. B. Shoemaker, who has just arrived to take command there. Rear Admiral Shoemaker succeeds Read Admiral w. Fletcher, who was transferred to the American naval commission in Rio Janeiro.
 Plans for expansion at Pearl liar bor now are under way, said Rear Admiral Shoemaker, who added; These plans should not be inter- preted to give the impression that the United States expects trouble; but they are to be understood as routine development, looking toward greater efficiency and to fulfill the original purposes of the station here. Very soon part of the Pacific fleet will be based on Hawaii

say only the very we'll to do and for elgners are able to buy imported stuffs.
 Meat at 26 marks a pound, sausages at 30 tS 3G and cheese 3S is still be- yond the means of the average work man. Meat merchants say the average German can afford meat not oftener than once week and he must buy cuts of poorest quality
 With wages for skilled workmen ranging from 30 to 40 marks a day, and for common labor at p marks, the food experts estimate the minimum cost of existence in Berlin for a single man at 145 marks a week; for a man and wife, 216 marks week; for man and wife and two children between seven and fourteen years 296 marks. These prices have shown a gradual increase since February and it is expected will continue to rise during the winter.
 While bread is still rationed, meat cards are no longer issued. It is said they arc unnecessary because the peo- pie generally cannot buy meat at pre- vailing prices unless wages are greatly advanced. In spite of the well stocked shops, the meat supply is reported only half the amount on hand during the same months before the war.

CLAIM MADE THAT
 IRISH ARE ABUSED
Sim FeinerS Assert That Prison
 CTS Get Bad Treatment

Dublin, Feb. 22-Severe criticism of the treatment of prisoners confined at the Ballykinlar internment camp on Dundrum Bay. County Down, is pub lished by the Irish Bulletin, Sim: Fcin publication. It is asserted that Sir Famar Greenwood's statement in the House of Commons that the in termed men would be accorded treat ment similar to that normally given prisoners of war is far from correct.
 ''The prisoners are given wholly in sufficient food and many of them go hungry,'' the paper declares. Even this food they are unable to make the most of, as they do all their own cook ing and are allowed less than half the supply of coal necessary"
 There is no hot water in the camp, no wash house and no drying room, the article continues, and it is therefore necessary for the prisoners to do their washing as best they can in cold water and dry their laundry wherever they can.
 Many of the prisoners" the state ment goes on, ''are practically bare footed,'' saying no arrangements have been made for supplying them with boots or even for repairing those they have.
 It is charged that, while the prison CTS are permitted to receive parcels, almost invariably part of the contents is pilfered by the English troops in the camp" The prisoners suffer intensely from cold and underfeeding, it is stated.
 Every batch of prisoners who have arrived at the camp during the last month"; the article goes on, have complained of their treatment en route. One batch of 26 men left a certain camp near Dublin on Sunday evening and did not arrive in Ballykinlar until Tuesday evening. During this time they received practically no food, the mili- tary guard having forgotten the prison CTS rationS."

Quire little easy wealth by the
prowess of his hands. Shortly af-
ter this incident Steel CCharles
Ray) finds that he has not only
lost his girl, who has perceived
qualities of unexampled charm in
the nature of Burke, the battler,
but also has been deemed a nom
essential by the foreman of the
shop.
In this desperate situation, the
harassed lad decides to enter the
ring against Burke at Tim Riley's
athletic club in order to win the
losers end of the purse SO that
his invalid mother may be pro-
vided with at least the bare .neces-
stiles of life. For three ROUNDS
the opponents do their utmost-one
to put his adversary out, the other
to stand on his feet long enough
to collect the 5000 for being
whipped, the stipulation having
been made that he must last three
rounds. AT the end of the third
stanza, Steel is saved from a
knockout by the gong. In the
fourth. he stages a comeback. Last
nights crowd broke into spontane-
Gus applause at this tuncture in
the action, SO tense had been the
three preceding rounds.
Tom Wilson as Steel's trainer;
Vera Stedman, as Midge, the fickle
object of the battler's equally
fickle regard, and Lydia Knott as
the mother contribute natural por-
trayals.

Ct HE FORTUNE HUNTER
! on Feature Pace To'--

playhouse that has witnessed a
similar phenomena but once before
In its history.
Perhaps the outstanding factor in
the great success OF this DeMllie
opus 10 the fact that Il has not only
been interpreted under the personal
direction of Mr.. DeMille. but the
Interpretation has been entrusted
TO the greatest cast Of photoplay
stars that have ever been gathered
together in a single production. De-
Miles unparalleled aii-star cast
includes not only Wallace Reid.
Gloria Swanson. Elliott Dexter.
Bebe Daniels. Monte Blue. Agnes
Ayers, Theodore Roberts, wenda
Hawley, Theodore Kosloff. Polly
Moran. Raymond Hatton and Julia
Faye, but a great many other
screen notables as well.
The Affairs of Anator' is based
on the famous play of the same
name by Arthur Schnitzler. The
scenario by JeanIe MacPherson is
based on the original Schnitzler
manuscript and on the Granville
Barker paraphrase thereof. II re-
veais a trio OF romantic incidents
in the life of a young society idler
for whom the sweets Of his honey
moon have cloyed and who seeks
diversion with the three fair charm
ers who, without exception. victim
ize him with their wiles and per-
suade him, In the end. that happi-
ness lies only with the woman he
truly loves. who. in this case. Is his
wife.

PALACE.
Wallace Rein In TIE Hell DIEEers


1t is rare. indeed. that at photo
play of the thematic interest OF The
He'll Diggers" is brought to the
screen, but Loew's Palace Theater
provided that factor yesterday in
presenting this great Wallace Reid
production for a weeks engage
ment, where il will be seen for the
full week. Reid. in his whole screen
career, has rarely had a production
thai affords him the opportunity
for so full a display of his histrionic
powers. and it is only justice to say
that in The Hall Diggers" he rises
to the full measure Of his dramatic
height.
The He'll Diggers" is the latest
screen story from the pen OF Byron
Morgan, well known as the author
of long and tremendously popu-
lar series of motor-racing, stories.
in which Mr.. Reid held the leading
role. 1t has been interpreted under
the direction OF Fred Urson. who
has brought to the stars support a
thoroughly notable cast that in
cludes the beautiful Lois Wilson.
Richard Bennett, the stage star;
Frank Leigh. Lucien Littlefeld,
Clarence Geldart, Bud Post and
others.
In essence, The He'll Diggers" is
story OF the battle that wages
constantly between the farmers of
the California goldfelds, on one
side, and the gold dredgers, on the
other, who with their monster
dredges ruin the soil for aEricul-
tural purposes. The romantic turn
is given the story by the romantic
affair that springs up between a
young dredger who believes II un-
necessary to ruin the soil, and a
daughter of prominent farmer
who is enlisted in the tight against
the dredgers.
In its development. the story is
set TO the tune of grit, sand and
fighting blood. 1t Is clearly the
greatest role Mr.. Reid has had since
he appeared in The Valley of the
Giants" and II has been back
grounded against natural settings
of the most enthralling beauty
Mr.. Reid. as the young dredgeman
and Miss Wilson. as the farmers
daughter. contribute roles of in
tense heart interest and emotional
power.
