GERMANS DENY SUBMARINES ARE LESS EFFECTIVE

AMSTERDAM. Feb. 4. A dispatch received here today from Berlin gives the German reply to the statement last week of Sir Eric Oeddes, first lord of the British admiralty, who In reviewing the first year of unrestricted submarine warfare, said the sumbarine menace was being held, that the sinking of merchantment was decreasing nnd the'dfestruction of U-boats Increasing and that the morale of the submarine crews was deteriorating on account of the British policy of secrecy )n regard to the fate of. the men on submarines which failed to return to their bases The German reply In the form of a semi-official statement follows: "What Sir Eric Geddes said is not new. It Js merely repetition of familiar assertions which are disproved by the fasts and appear periodically in the speeches' of talkative "wire pullers In England If that brave optimist Geddes expects by such means to lower the morale and the power of resistance of our U-boat crews, he will have as little success, as has been met with m the attempts to bluff the German people who long ago realized that English secrecy was nothing but an ex;resslon of consciousness of weakness."

Our First Week in Richmond a Triumph In Spite of Bad Weather We Had More People Call Than We Could Possibly Take Care Of. Painless Dentistry POSITIVELY GUARANTEED BY Pro I W. Prktardl Our first week in Richmond was a revelation to us. We did not believe it possible that so many people would seek our service so soon ; after our first advertisements and we were forced to turn away many people who wanted immediate work. This was in part due to the failure of transportation companies to deliver to us a part of our new

office equipment and to all those who were disappointed we want to extend our apologies and an assurance that it will be well worth your while to call again. High Class Dental Work at Very Low Prices We received many compliments from our first patrons on our nicely furnished offices and everyone was loud in their praise of our scientific methods by which the most difficult work was performed without the slightest pain or inconvenience to tho patient. Some people might think our very low prices meant inferior work. Not so! We positively guarantee all our work and you could not get better work even if you paid five times our prices. If you are in need of any dental wofk it will pay you to come here and let us examine your teeth. We do it free. Our method of Painless Extraction does away entirely with the old fashioned way of pulling, jerking and often breaking the teeth. By our system the gums are treated in a modern, scientific way. Artificial teeth should fit tight enough so one can eat with comfort and at the same time restore the proper, natural expression to the face and mouth and that requires artistic and mechanical skill as well as painstaking labor and experience on the part of the dentist. When we make a set of teeth we give special attention to looks as well as wear. We try all teeth in before they are finished so the patient may see exactly how they will look when finished. You can have the impression taken in the morning and get. your teeth the same day. "LIVE AND LET LIVE PRICES" OUR MOTTO We don't try to make a week's salary off of one patient. Instead we depend upon a great volume of business with small profits on each individual.

Business Men of London Boast They Are Able to Count Ribs

NEW YORK. Feb. 4. The chief subject of discussion In London just now, from duke to dustman, is bow to get food, says a special cable from London to tho New York Times. Butcher boys earning meat through the streets are followed to find out where they get it. Tbe people are getting thinner daily, out healthier, it is explained, except fo" some cases of indigestion caused by the war bread. There are business men residing in London who boast that they are able to count their ribs for the first time in twenty years. In b pita of the war conditions, everybody here is cheerful and determined to hold out to prevent Germany becoming master of the world, even if the war last 4 another twenty years. Prices at hotels and restaurants are etlll 25 percent below those in New York. The quality of meats here is 50 percent less. 'Meals on meatless days cost double the usual rate, on account of the price of fish. A cargo of fish sold at auction after landing realizes high prices. The crew of one fishing vessel had $1,500 each as his share in a fourteen days' cruise. Prices are now regulated, but fish is scarcer, because tho men will not go out and risk their lives unless sure of big money in return Difficulty of American Officers. Young American officers visiting London find difficulty in getting what they would call a square meal at night, as the restaurants are darkened and the visitors are unable to distinguish them from other stores. I was accosted last night in the Strand by two officers who had been one hour trying to find a restaurant. v No batter is served at the best hotels, except a small pat at. breakfast. People arc fed up with jam. A teaspoonful of sugar Is served in an envelope, an? the war bread is dark and depressing to eat and of varying quality, avJording to the baker. A famous restaurant In the Strand gives only one helping ot meat, and charges higher prices than formerly. Found White Bread. A new York banker was beaming with joy yesterday as if he had made a $100,000 deal, because he had obtained a fresh loaf of white bread at a country inn where he had lunched. A New York woman -went to Selfridge's store, which was reported to have a supply of meat. She found a big crowd held back by the police. One woman fainted in the crush. While the crowd stood back the American rushed through the lines into the basement. There was only one woman there before her. The stock consisted of two oxtails and two calves heads. She bought the best head, had it packed in a bonnet box, escaped the hungry crowd and- reached- home safely. War conditions in New York are a joke compared with London. There are only small daily supplies of meat, fish or poultry in the stores here, and these are soon exhausted. Many 715 MAIN STREET.

stores are closed altogether. The crowds wait patiently for tea, margarine, sausages and other foods until the police call out "No more today." No Milk or Sugar. Beginning today, no milk or sugar will be served in restaurants, and only three ounces of meat, including bone, will be Berved at meals. The American colony In London is giving up housekeeping on account of the dally struggle for food which is exhausting the women. A cup of sugarless tea and a slice of cake in an ordinary restaurant cost a Shilling. A thimbleful of denatured whisky costs the same. The proprietor of a city restaurant run for 100 years by one family, is living in the country, leaving the business in the hands of the employes. He couldn't bear to see his old customers under the new conditions. The only food at Stafford station to supply hungry American passengers on a recent day was two sausages and one mystery pie, called pork by courtesy.

Prices of Vegetables. Prices of vegetables are fairly reasonable. Oranges, apples, and eggs average 12 cents each. Workmen are clamoring for more beer to make up for the loss of nourishing food. The general impression is that the government desires to make them realize the seriousness of the war, because munition workers have been earning as high as $100 weekly and have been buying luxuries in great quantities. The streets of London are dark and there are few policemen. The people In the streets are brusque, especially the women. They war simple costumes and big shoes and adopt a severe cast of countenance. The service in the stores and restaurants is indifferent. Any mild complaint by customers is met with the retort, "Don't you know we are at war?" Few motor busses are running. Extra passengers are allowed to stand inside and hang on the straps for the first time in London. New Yorkers now feel quite at home. Will Turn Street Ligkts off at 11 O'clock Now Richmond will be in darkness one hour , earlier Monday night according to announcement of Fuel Administrator Bates. The street lights Administrator Bates Baid would be turned off at 11 o'clock in order to conserve coal. This means that Richmond will be in darkness at 11 o'clock every night until the fuel situation improves. MRS. WARRING GETS DIVORCE Mrs. Lydia Warring was granted a divorce from Oscar Warring on the grounds of failure to provide in circuit court Monday. LARGE RECEPTION ROOMS

ANNA CASE SINGS FOR SOLDERS

"Never before bare I been ao appreciated, never before have I enjoyed singing aa I did that afternoon," wrote Anna Cue after she bad tuns before an audience of 35,000 kbakl-clad men at Camp Logan, Houston, Texas. "There was not a boy who did not have tears streaming down his face. I wore my New York recital dress with a lovely hat and gave them my best songs, with some lighter encores and The Battle Hymn of the Republic,' and every boy sang the chorus as if his soul came out of bis body, while tears ran down their faces. After the recital they all said they never before understood what those wonderful words meant. Miss Case's tour through the Middle and South West has been a tremendous success. Wherever she went sbc was applauded and encored in a manner that might have turned the bead of a person of less equilibrium than ehe. It is our opinion she deserves ali the praise she received. Said the Musical Leader of Chicago: "This was Miss Case's first visit to out city and after hearing her, one oould not but regret that she has been sc long In coming. Her voice Is really oi mezzo quality with an unusually lovely middle register, but If Miss Case could not sing at all she would be welcome so good is she to look upon. She hai a personality of remarkable charm and magnetism, and beanty of the moat beguiling qpuality. Her voice is sympathetic in quality and posseses a peculiar appeal which makes it moat effective, and her enunciation is remarkable for its clarity. However, if Is the interpretive side of art in which Miss Case most ezcelts, and anything more lovely than the finesse with which she sang her French songs hai not yet been heard. In the delicate nuances and the pianissimo pases gee this artist is a revelation."
