The military expert of the Evening News says that the British could not hold Chanak, on the Dardanelles, against Turkish attacks from Ezine and Bigha and that the British fleet in the straits would be useless. LONDON, Sept. 23.—Premier Lloyd George, speaking for the British empire, declared this afternoon that the government is opposed to war in the Near East. He proposed that the freedom of the Turkish straits be guaranteed by placing them under the auspices of the League of Nations. The premier statement, which was given to the world at the first audience Mr. Lloyd George has tendered to the journalists since the great war, says: "The object of Great Britain's military action in the Near East does not concern the future of Anatolia or Thrace. The object of Britain's military action is to insure freedom from spreading into Europe." "Great Britain does not want to make a Gilbraltar of Chanak, Great Britain desires that the League of Nations insure freedom of the Turkish straits for all nations." "We are not going back on anything we have said. Peace must be established. Peace is our motive.

Pac. now is receiving four cars of bean straw for fertilizer per day, in addition to 18 to 20 cars of beets for the Anaheim Sugar Company's factory. None of these of course are refrigerator cars. The Anaheim Co-Operative Orange Association stopped packing oranges on Thursday, and the Randolph Marketing Company has packed no fruit, either oranges or tomatoes, all week. The latter will ship no oranges all next week, and from now on expects to send out more tomatoes than oranges. Shipments by boat from Wilmington or San Pedro continue small, because only the Northwest can be reached. The market on Valencia oranges has presented an even tone the past week. Fancy fruit meets with ready sale as average prices ranging from $10.50 to $13.55 per box. Sizes 176s and larger continue to command a premium over the smaller sizes. Poor stock, small sizes are becoming more difficult to dispose of now that the first of the Florida oranges for the new season are beginning to move. This class of Valencias has averaged as low as $2.75 per box in eastern markets this week. The shortage of refrigerator cars is interfering with the movement of Valencias. The shortage has become so acute that definite action has been taken whereby the division of markets of the state department of agriculture will take official charge of the car conservation program of this state, to the end that shippers holding cars over 24 hours for loading and unloading will be strictly called to account. Plans for keeping a check on all shippers and receivers have been formulated in order to expedite the release of refrigerator equipment. Thousands of refrigerator cars are required to move the grape crop of the state during September and October, after which the early crop of oranges from the central part of the state will be ready to move and will be followed by the citrus crop from Southern California. It will require the earnest co-operation of all interests to keep refrigerator cars moving. F. o. b. quotations are on a basis of $8 to $9 per box, according to sizes and district. There are no new developments pertaining to the new crop of oranges now maturing. The market on lemons is strong and higher. With very little fruit in storage and light picks in prospect for the next few months there is every indication that the short lemon supply due to the frost will be more SEVEN TENTS READY FOR BIG FAIR Seven large tents are in place display racks for Farm Center and general produce exhibits are completed, stalls for livestock have been constructed, coops for poultry are being placed, and spaces allotted to industrial exhibitors have been measured off. "Construction of display racks has progressed farther than at any previous fair four days before its opening, and we are gratified to announce that exhibitors, in nearly all classes, may now begin the installation of their exhibits." General Manager J. C. Metzgar announced today. "We are going to have this as one fair that opens on time and all booth building, etc., must be completed Wednesday morning, for we cannot permit hammering and other noises to interfere with Wednesday afternoon's program." Miss Alice Plummer of Costa Mesa and Mrs. J. W. McCormac of Santa Ana have charge of the culinary exhibits department and will direct the placing of the canned fruits and home cookery display. This department is always of great interest to the ladies, for Orange county boasts of some of the best cooks anywhere, and a large entry list is expected. The classes which are open without entrance fee are bread, layer cakes, loaf cakes, cookies custard pies, berry and fruit pies, canned fruits, canned berries, preserves fruits and berries, etc., fruit and berry jellies, fruit-and-berry jams, canned vegetables, vegetable and fruit pickles, dried fruits and dried vegetables.
