ACREAGE CUT
Approximately 20 Per
Cent Reduction
Indicated

HASTINGS, Fla, Jan. i9.-Much
activity IL being shown in the Hast
ings potato district. Farmers have
started planting potatoes on a
large scale generally throughout
this district and by the middle or
later part OF this week viii reach
the peak Of planting.
Some few acres were planted be-
fore Christmas, but the grand rush
started Wednesday and Thursday Of
last week. II is said that the Fed
eral Point section, comprising about
$50 acres is at least 80 or 95 per
cent planted. This is considered the
early producing section in the belt,
but growers were later planting
this year than usual.
In the Bunnell-B imini sections IL
is said that approximately 1000
acres we're planted before Christ
mas, and some Of the earliest plant
inEs are already above the ground.
Estimates show that about 1000
acres were planted in that section
last year ard there will be practi-
eallv no cut in acreage this year.
The Hastings potato belt. IS gen
orally conceded. includes st. Johns
Putnam, Flagler, Alachua and Clay
counties and il is estimated viii
pplant approximately 10000 acres to
potatoes this year as compared with
$4,000 acres in 1928. The largest
cut in acreage will be made in the
immediate Hastings section. This
cut however. does not mean that the
land will stand idle. as hundreds OF
acres are planted to cabbage and
other crops.

FOUR SHIP SEIZURE
CASES DISMISSED
War Claims Arbiter DisaIIoWs
Portion of German Appeals
Against U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A decision handed down today by the
war claims arbiter, Edwin B. Parker,
dismissed claims against the United
States for seizure of four former Ger
man ships and allowed claims for four
others.
The claims dismissed were for three
North German Lloyd vessels, the Kron-
prirz Wilhelm, the Prinz Eitel Friedrich
and the Locksun and the Hansa Line
vessel Liebenfels, which, the decision
held, were not considered merchant
ships and therefore not entitled to
remuneration.
The following ships were declared to
be merchant ships at the time of their
seizure: Princess Alice and Coblenz of
the North German Lloyd; Holsatia and
Sambla OF the Hamburg American line.
The arbiters decision held that the
term merchant vessel" used by Con-
gress in the settlement of war claims
act Of 1928. was intended to exclude
all vessels which, at the time of the
taking, were German public ships. COM
plete title to which vested Immediately
in the United States through the mere
act of capture, independent Of any con-
gressional resolution and without the
necessity Of adjudication by a prize
court"
Parker held that the Princess Alice
the Holsatia, Coblenz and Sambia were
unarmed, had no naval crew aboard
and were privately owned German mer-
chant vessels when they were taken
over by the American authorities. He
held that it was clear under the wal
claims act, Congress intended to pay
fer these vessels.

AFGHAN UPRISING
LECTURERS TOPIC
War of Fanatics on Project
ed New Customs Described
by Lowell Thomas.

His own adventures in Afghanistan
and motion pictures of the Afghans, as
shown last evening by Lowell Thomas
to members of the National Geographic
Society at the Washington Audito-
rum, revealed the reason why King
Amanullah Khan had to abandon his
throne because he sought to introduce
new customs into the ancient regime OF
his people.
While he was yet King he entertained
Mr.. Thomas and party of English
men, and when he took them to ride in
the streets of his capital, Kabul, he
had to request them to wear feZZes so
they would be thought Turks. Other
wise the kingly protection would not
have availed against the fanatic hatred
OF the natives for non-Moslems.
Kings Success Limited.
While the King met with some sue
cess IN introducing among the men the
tailoring of European capitals, the
clothes had to be made and the cloth
woven by the natives. The Afghan in
depreciation of Partisan tailoring was
distinctive enough to permit recognition
of any costume not made in Afghan
istan. And when such costume was
spied on the streets it was promptly
slit by government officials form of
protection that was even more effica-
cious than high tariff.
Mr.. Thomas showed pictures of the
amazing. colorful and bizarre life of
India from his place of landing at
Cape Cormorin, across Hindustan, to
Baluchistan, and thence through the
famed Khyber Pass, altitudinous trade
route, where mile-long caravans creep
with the rugs and shawls, handicraft
and spices of central Asia. into India.
Holy Mems Customs Depicted.
He showed the strange ways of the
holy men, one of them rolling 10 miles
around temple with baby in his
arms, by way of penance; snake charm
ers and other fakirs; bathing in the
holy Ganges and the funeral pyres along
the banks; the Parsees' towers of silence,
where the dead are left to be eaten by
vultures; a Nepal tiger hunt with 500
elephants and 5000 men sent by the
King to act as "beaters" and drive the
animals toward the huntsmen.
But his most remarkable picture was
that of the mighty Juggernaut, the
great god on wheels, pulled through the
streets by ropes towed by thousand
men, and guarded by English soldiers to
keep the fanatical Hindus from throw
ing themselves under the mighty wheels.
