FOOD SUPPLY is AMPLE,
Germans Deny Rumor of Scarcity Of
Food In Germany.

Berlin.-The question of Germany's
food supply is not giving the nation
any worriment, Notwithstanding state-
ments to the contrary from sources
hostile to Germany, the Overseas
News agency declared Tuesday.
"The press in enemy country" says
the news agency, has recently print
ed additional reports regarding an al.
legged scarcity of food In Germany
which indicated that famine was Inn
pending, pointing to the recent meas.
ures taken by the German federal gov.
eminent In establishing maximum
prices for various food products. AlY
such reports regarding the food situs-
ton are incorrect and Germany's enc
mics are doomed once more to disap.
pointment, since the feeding of the
German nation Is as completely %.
sured now as 1t has been during the
preceding months Of the war"

 The idea of the Victoria Cross or iginally suggested itself to one of the most unpopular of our secretaries of state for war, and first to hold that usually thanlless office, Henry Pel- ham Clinton. filth Duke of Newcas- tie. It was in January, 1885, that the duke wrote to the prince consort suggesting the decoration. but by the time specimens were ready for sub- mission to the Queen Lord Penmure was at the war office, and 1t was to him that her Majesty suggested the substitution of the words "For Val or" for the original motto, For the Brave" as the alter might lead peo- pie to infer that none was brave in her army and navy save the wearers
