Naval Phase of War.
Interest in the naval phase of the war
has been somewhat stirred by the news
from Berlin of the destruction of the

avenged by the sinking of her submarine

ships.
Outside the zone of military operations
the chief interest centers in the efforts OF
the German, Dutch and French govern

the use of certain staples The regula-
lions not only forbid the use of more
than a certain amount of these staples
for purposes other than for food. but in
