With ships bringing foreign food sup.
plies into England at the rate of f43a
worth every minute Of every day in the
year, Great Britain cannot accumulate
stock OF provisions large enough for a
years supply. some experts say not
enough for half year.
"Others doubt IL we could hold out for
three months without foreign supplies, %
says the Queen, land all agree that three
weeks war, or even threat Of war, would
enormously increase the price of food

otherwise specified, and excluding ESQ.,
0o0, 900 for food, drink, and tobacco sub

What we as a nation have to fear II
not invasion, but starvation. To the
great mass OF the people Of this country
the question is not Shall we win or lose
In war; but Shall we have enough food
to live on when the next big war comesr
It is to meet such an emergency that the
use in this country of silos for grain, or
national sranaries, has been advocated" :"

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Calcutta, Aug. 2o.-An account Of the
methods of melting out justice in At
ghanistan is unfolded by the story OF
a widows dramatic vengeance on her
husbands murderer.
The woman's husband had been muir
dered by another Afghan who was un-
der the impression that his victim had
some money in his possession. 1t ap-
peared, however, that the murdered man
was penniless and what the murderer
thought was money turned out to be the
remains of some food tied around the
dead mans waist The murderer was
captured and the Amir ordered him to
be handed over to the widow, who was
told that she could do what she liked
with him.
The widow decided to take the mans
life, and while two male friends kept
a firm hold Of the victim, the woman
slowly cut the mans throat with a PEN
knife.
