6 PREDICTS RISE IN FOOD PRICES INENGLAND British Minister of Recon struction Sees New High Levels London, July 22.—Prophecy . that the price of food next winter will "climb to a level never dreamed of," was uttered by Sir Auckland Gcddes, the Brititsh Minister of Reconstruc tion, in an address at Crewe recently. A member of the audience shouted, "more wages." Sir Auckland replied that there woiild be no money to pay wages because it would have to go overseas to pay for food. The Minister warned the public that it was squandering its money In a colossal way on things that did not matter. "You cannot live like millionaries," he said, "if you are as poor as a church mouse. This nation is now poor It is living as If it were wealthy." More beer was being brewed in Great Britain yet people complain of a shortage. This he attributed to a doubling of the amount of beer con sumed because, since the war. there was more time to dring it in and more money to pay for it. By sending overseas for beer, silk for stockings and feathers for hats, Sir Auckland said, the people were increasing Britain's debt for things that did not matter. "What you ought to get are food and raw ma terial," he declared. Sir Auckland denounced the. limita tion of output as, "stark, staring lunacy." The mill owners, he said, limited output to obtain higher prices and the operators limited it to make work for more people.

This condition so frequent among fast growing children is usually caused by weakened unhealthy blood due to rapid growth, a strain on the youthful body. Many children experience this yearly—their blood is thin. they lack youthful vigor.

Every person legally permitted under this title to have liquor shall report to the Com missioner (of Internal Revenue) within ten days after January 16, 1920, the kind and amount of in toxicating liquors in his posses sion. "But it shall not be unlawful to possess liquors in one's pri vate dwelling while the same is occupied and used by him only as his dwelling, and such liquor need not be reported. But such liquor must bo used for tho per sonal consumption of the owner thereof and his family residing in such dwelling and bona fide guests when entertained by him. Provided the burden of proof shall he upon the possessor to prove that the liquor was lr|v fully acquired and possessed." WANT TO KNOW WHY COAL COST KEEPS ON JUMP Investigation of Anthracite and Bituminous Industries May Be Made. Washington, July 22.—Sweeping Investigation into the anthracite and bituminous coal industries, with particular bearing on the prices of fuel to the consumer, is indicated by Congress on the initiative of Representative George Iluddleston, of Alabama, and Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuvsen, of New Jersey, who have prepared resolutions for such an inquiry. Why has the retail price of coal advanced since the signing of the armistice? and why is it still advancing? are the two main con undrums which these legislators will propound to the trade. As it is considered certain that the Senate will favor and conduct an investigation, it is likely that the house will not act, especially as Hud. dleston, as a Democrat, cannot get the backing of the house steering committee, while Frelinghuysen is a Republican, and also his resolution is more drastic and far-reaching than Huddleston's. First citing the fact that the price of coal has been rising steadily and that during the war this advance was attributed to "war conditions," but in spite of the fact that "since the armistice has been signed the price has continued to mount, apparently without econ omic or other proper reason," the resolution provides: Scope of Inquiry "That the Committee on Inter state Commerce, or any subcommit tee thereof, be instructed to make inquiry into the cause or causes which have brought about the enor mous increase in the market price Of coal, and to that end obtain data regarding freight rates, wages, pro lits and other matters bearing upon the question under consideration, with a view to ascertaining who or what may be responsible for such increase in price, whether due to economic causes and therefore proper and right, or whether due to manipulation or profiteering on the part of the miners, shippers or dealers in coal." The committee is to report its findings and recommendations,.with a view to either congressional or ex ecutive action, "in order to remedy existing conditions, or the punish ment of any individual or corpora tion deemed guilty of unlawful acts." It may be recalled that similar in vestigation and report were made by the committee on manufactures, of the Senate, in the last Congress, but no action ever was undertaken as a result of that proceeding. May Extend Federal Control According to men very close to the Wilson administration, "the probable end of this inquiry is a further extension of Government control over the coal industry." It is no secret that this is being urged vigorously by influential leaders in many quarters, and the old feul ad ministration officials and the Federal Trade Council commission and many others are inclined to such a pro gram. Probability, therefore. prevails, that a tangible movement in the direction of Federal control will materialize from Wilson administra tion men within the next few months.

WAS DISGRACEFUL BARGAIN TOSTRIP CHINA OF DOMAIN Senator Norris, of Nebraska, Bitter in Denunciation of Shantung Deal Unnhlnffton, July 22. —In a vigor ous speech in the Senate Senator Norris. of Nebraska, bitterly assailed that feature of the peace treaty pro viding for transfer of Shantung Pen insula with nearly 40.000.000 Chinese to Japan. Senator Norris charged that Japan secretly secured pledges from Great j Britain, France, Italy and Russia early in 1917 that in the peace set | tlement Shantung Peninsula should jbe turned over to the Toklo Gov j ernment for certain considerations. I Senator Norris backed up hi 3 state j nient by producing copies of what he { stated was the diplomatic corres- I pondence embodying promises of ! Great Britain and France. Ratification of the Shantung trans j fer, he said, would write "the blaclc -1 est page in the Nation's history." ! Senator Norris has repeatedly said that he would not support the treaty j with the Shantung provision in it. i He pictured leading Governments of the Allies as inducing China to go into the war in order to secure her assistance and to get possession of German ships in Chinn's harbors and all the while "secretly plotting among themselves as to her destruc tion as soon as she had complied with their wishes and the war was over." "In all the annals of history," added Senator Norris, "I do not be lieve there is reported an instance of a more disgraceful and dishonor able agreement to carve up the ter ritory, not of an enemy but of an allied friend." He declared that under Article X of the League of Nations as it stands if the Chinese in Shantung should rebel against Japan and the balance of China should go to the assistance of their own brethren it would be our duty "to contribute American lives and American blood on the battlefield to assist Japan to retain her power." Senator Norris went on record as favoring changes in the covenant for the league of natons. Lieut. Houtz Elected on School Faculty Lieut. Robert L.

TKEBOICXFB Three Held For Robbing Freight Car of Tobacco; One Denies His Guilt Charged with the attempted rob bery of a freight car about two miles from Shlppensburg last Wednesday, I Ralph Taylor, 304 Boas street; j George Forry, of .Hagerstown, Md., and Charles Custus, Charles Town, W. Va., were held under $6,000 bail last evening by United States Com- I missioner John A. F. Hall. The I men will be given hearings at the I session of United States District j Court, which will open at Scranton I on October 20. Hast evening's hearings were held in the Dauphin county prison where j the three men have been confined I since the robbery. This was made necessary because of the condition of ' Taylor, who has 39 shots of a shot j gun discharge in his body, said to j have been received when he at- J temptpd to escape after tlip rob ; bery. Forry and Custus were surprised j while at work by railroad detectives j and were taken into custody by I Lieutenant Cranford and Sergeant j Lees. The third man, said to be , Taylor, escaped at the time.although struck by the shotgun discharge. Taylor, however, denies any con nection with the affair. Forry and Custus are said by Captain Paul L. Barclay, of the Pennsylvania Railroad police, to have given signed statements to the effect that Taylor was the third man. Captain Barclay also says that j he will be able to produce at the | proper time, witnesses who will be able to identify Taylor as the man ' who escaped. Taylor is believed by railroad po lice to have dragged himself for more than three miles to a farm house and there persuaded a farmer | to bring him to the home of his par j ents at 1914 North Seventh street, this city. Taylor was arrested there and lodged in the Dauphin county prison after being treated at the Harrisburg Hospital. The men are said to have tam pered with the airbrake system of the car of cigarets which they are charged with rifling, and to have started work on it when it was de tached from the train. British Policemen Lose Their "Pin Money" London, July 22.—The policemen of the pretty seaside town of Rams gate are to lose their "pin money." This money has been obtained by waking early risers by a knock at their door or tap at the window. A "season ticket" system was in force whereby the cost of this serv ice was reduced to two cents a call. The receipts were pooled and shared between the police as "pin money." Instructions have been issued to the effect that the police must dis continue the service. Old residents resent the new order. OKI GBR IX LEAD John A.

PEOPLE STARVE THROUGH RICH FIELDS OF OIL Rumanian Oil Wells Are in Ruins as Result of War Ruzcu, Rumania, July 22.—Here in the midst of one of the world's richest oil fields, people have been actually starving. Before the war this part of Ru mania produced big fortunes in oil, being one of the greatest sources of European supply. To-day its wells are in rutr.s and the peopje are destitute. The invading armies requistioned everything that could bo pried loose and transplanted, paralyzing one of the wealthiest in dustries in the Balkans. Workers for tlie American Red Cross, which is distributing relief in the form of foods and medicines throughout the country, have found people eating bread made of leaves, twigs and bark from trees. People were bartering the coats off their backs for small portions of corn and coarse bran. In one place the relief workers found a small local hospi- i tal in which the patients slept on boards with no mattress and little covering. At home they found five fatherless children, the oldest only nine years of age, cooking a meal of tree hark and bran, while the mother was out at work in the fields. "Typhus is prevalent and there is says one American woman's report, an increasing amount of smallpox," "There is no doctor nor medicines in this village and absolutely no way of taking care of the sick. In an other village which I visited the en tire population of 500 persons was ill with some obscure form of con tagious disease." OFFICERS ELECTED BY INTER-CHURCH COUNCIL | The Rev. George F.
