MORE MUNITIONS OK AVAR NEEDED London, Dec. 21. David Lloyd-George, Minister of Munitions gave an account of his stewardship in tho Houso of Commons last night.

Beginning with tho oft-repeated story of tho insulllclency of munitions In tho early days of tho war, and tho history of -tho establishment of his department to remedy tho situation tlio minister grauuawy wnrmuu iu his subject and reached tho climax 1 with tho declaration that tho success of tho allies in tho war depends on tho attitude of organized labor whether It will nllow tho government to recruit a sufficient number of skilled men for tho factories- which tho munitions department has brought Into being. 'Wo want 80,000 skilled men and from 200,000 to 300,000 unskilled men for these new factories," ho said. "Wo must reduce the proportion of our orders which go abroad, and develop our homo resources. Upon tho supply of labor depends, I think, our success In tbts war. Upon this depends whether we can reduce tho cost of tho war by scores of millions of pounds.

Upon this depends whether we can supply our troops with the right sort of guns and enable them to make next year's campaign a success. "Hero only organized labor can help us. Wo havo done our best to get skilled labor by tho system of munitions' volunteers. It Is no uso my going Into tho question of we got only 5,000 or men, although that story may havo to bo told later. "Tho whole question depends upon organized labor.

Unless It allows us to put unskilled workers on tho work whlch hitherto has been tho monoply of skilled labor, wo cannot perform this task. Thero can bo only one appeal, namely, to patriotism. tory depends on this. Hundreds of thousands of precious lives depend on labor's answer. "It Is a question whether wo aro BgScfesTMA: cm.

See their line-a carefully selected one that should appeal to all. going to bring tho war to an end In a year, or longer long In tho blood-stained path. Labor has tho answer." Earlier In his speech Mr.

Lloyd- George admitted that there was a bad shortage in the British munitions supply In the first year of tho war, but declared that tho present situation was quite a different matter Last May the British were turning out only 2,500 high explosive shells dally against tho German's quarter of a million. "Hero is the situation ho said. "Quantity of shells fired In tho recent September operating was enormous. The battle lasted days, even weeks, yet there was no short-ago of shells. This was the result of four months' careful husbanding.

Without giving, definite figures the Minister forcasteiWhe output of many guns of the largest size, and later declared that the output of machine guns had increased five fold since June and that the output of hand grenades forty fold, while more trench mortars were produced every 'fortnight than an entire first year of the war. Continuing, he said: 'There have been other developments of our work which I dare not mention. There has been valuable experimental work of a kind better not discussed. As to explosives, we shall be able to continue to supply ourselves and our allies. "As to economy, I may cite as an example new contracts for gun am munition, which Is the principle Item of expenditure tho cost of eighteen pounder shells has been reduced 40 per cent, nnd of 4-5-inch howitzer shells 30 per cent.

"It is ioo early to talk of the danger of overproduction. In the last great battle, although there was a tremendous accumulation of ammu nition, the generals stated that with tho quantity of ammunition they would have achieved twenty times the result. Two hundred million rounds, or the cost of only forty days of war, would produce an enormous quantity of munitions. If you had that qauntlty at tho right moment tho war might bo won In forty days; whereas, without It, the war might bo prolonged perhaps 400 days. "With regard to munitions, what is spared in money is spilled in blood If therc are rlgks to bo taken let them bo risks t0 tne pockets of the 1 ves of men." James Henry Thomas, labor mem ber from Derby and assistant secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, speaking for the labor party after Mr.

Lloyd-George had concluded said that organized la bor would bo found willing follow wherever tho Minister of Munitions led If their rights were properly guar anteed. "Every appeal that has been made to tho worklngmen he said "has been met. The worklngmen are not unmindful of their responsibilities. What the Minister ought to do is to pass a bill guaranteeing to trade unions the re-establishment of the status quo at the termination of the war." Youthful Bandits Hold Up Merchant. Paul Ulrlch, owner of a creamery at 2001 West held up in his store at the point of a revol ver at 7 o'clock last night by two youthful bandits who took nine pen- nles from his trousers pocket and fled without touching tho cash register.

Tho robbers wore no masks and It is bclloved they wero amateurs who lost their nervo boforo they ac- compllshed their purpose. Ulrica was alono In the creamery when one of them came in and ask for somo Vic-'milk. Tho robber's confederate sllp- ped through tho front door while the proprietor's back was turned again to tho counter. Tho dairyman did not report the case to the police. GIFTS UNCLE TOMMY' IS NEAHING CENTURY Viola, Wis.

If men are only as old as they feci then Uncle Tommy Edwards, of Viola, Is only about twenty-live although the records say he was President His father crossed tho Mississippi In Daniel Boone's company and was living twelve miles from Uooncsville, on February 1G, 1S1C, when the baby, who was named Thomas Jefferson Edwards, was born. The baby was of pioneer stock on both sides; his mother -was a Tipton and a cousin of Davy Crockett. Edwards enlisted ns son as he hca'rd that Fort Sumter had been flred upon. His company became part of the Army of the Potomac, and he passed uninjured through all the fighting in which that army took part. Seven young men from his town were In the samo company, and he was a big brother to them and watched over them all through tho war.

Two or three of these boys tell stories of how Uncle Tommy saved their llvesbut he explains it differently. Ho says: "Our people were praying people, and two or three times a week they met and prayed for our safety." His volco trembled as he continued: "Everyone of us came home, and four of the seven arc still alive." Uncle Tommy has offered his services to his country in three wars. He was enrolled for the Mexican war, but tho company was over-enlisted, so all married men were sent home. offered to go to the Spanish war, but, of course, was too old to bo ac cepted. Although Mr.

Edwards Is so soon to be a century old, no one thinks of applying tho adjectlvo "venerable" to him. From one end of the Kicka-poo Valley to tho other ho is known as Undo Tommy. Everyone for miles around counts on going to his birthday parties. For twenty-eight years it has been the custom for all his friends to come with baskets full of good things to help him celebrato his natal day. For more than six months he has been inviting everyone he meets to his centennial birthday.

Ho attributes his long life to tho fact that he always tries to be cheer ful and does not think of himself as old. I "Why, bless your heart," he says with a hearty laugh, "I'm not old. I'm going to get married on ray one hundredth birthday, If I can find anyone who wants to tnko a boy to raise. I asked one widow, but sho said she was afraid I wouldn't walk the way I should go after sho took all the trouble of raising me." He chuckled at the joke, but then said with a little shake in his voice: "Of course, that's just fun. There never was but one woman for me, and she left mo seven years ago." Potatoes ns Hog Feed.

On account of tho low prices of potatoes In any section farmers have been seeking information as to the possibility of feeding them to bogs. Many experiments have been conducted in Germany and other foreign countries as well as a few in the United States to determine the valuo of potatoes as feed for swine. In Ireland and Germany farmers feed large quantities of potatoes an- I nually. From experimental data It has been concluded that 4 to 4 1-2 bushels of potatoes when cooked aro equal to about ono bushel of corn for putting gains on hogs. Therefore, if corn is worth 80 cents a bushel, potatoes when fed to hogs would be worth only 18 to 20 cents a bushel.

UlUrU "JUy, UUWUVUI, VXJ IIIBIUMIUO where It would be moro advantageous for tho farmer to feed to hogs right on his own placo at least part of his crop rather than to haul theso potatoes to an already overloaded market. I According to tho consensus of opinion potatoes aro ted to tho I A dill mr i ri a best odvantago when cooked or steamed and mixed with other feeds. Experiments in which raw potatoes were fed alone hav been reported. In certain Instances the raw potatoes are said to have caused scours. However, raw potatoes In small quantities nnd In a diet lacking succulence may be conductlvo to health in pigs.

In cooking potatoes only enough mealy mash and prevent burning. The resultant meal should then bo mixed with corn meal or other grain supplement. Tankage, skim milk, or meat meal would probably add to the profit of the mixture. Potatoes when prepared in the manner described and under the conditions mentioned can often be fed to pigs with advantage.
