One French Detachment
Loses More by Shippers
Than in Three Battles

Berlin, Germany. Feb. 13.-COopera-
tive societies in Germany have done
excellent work among their members
and their dependents during the six
months of the war. Over five and a
half million people, mostly of the work
ing classes, belong to these societies,
which possess a total capital of $780,,
100000, and cover a large field of Oper-
atiOns, the chief of which is the run
ming of supply stores
The endeayOr Of these supply stores
has been toward keeping down prices
OF food stuffs and this has been of
great assistance to the families of
those members who have been called
to the coIors The stores, in conse-
quence of the encouragement they have
given to thrifty people to save in time
of peace, have found that in most
cases they have not had to break their
rule calling for ready money settle
ment for purchases.
Other cooperative organizations, such
as cooperative building societies, have
experienced more trouble in collecting
the instruments towards paying off the
cost OF construction of WorNmen's
houses, but this difficulty has gener-
ally been overcome by the aid of the
cooperative banks, which grant loans
at small interest The cooperative
workshops have found it difficult to
obtain raw materials, but those which
have undertaken military contracts
have been exceedingly prosperous.

Cooperative Supply
Stores Keep Down The
German Food Prices

Dunkirk France, Feb 13.-The ac-
Jtivities of the highly efficient German
sharpshOoters have been responsible
for a large proportion of the casual
ties in the French and British armies
during the past two months. Lieut..
II G. VOuzier, of the French army,
writes of these sharpshOoters:
During the past three weeks I have
lost more men by the sniper than I
did in three stiff engagements. Our
position is not unlike a golf links
half mile from the club house we are
bunkered and nicely under cover, but
Immediately one Of US shows a head
a bullet whiZzes past In one day ten
were hit and for the life Of us we could
not locate the place where their snipers
were concealed. At last we found it;
four hundred yards in front Of US in
the open were several prominent tufts
of grass; one of my men fired into
one of these tufts, and a sniper fell
into view mOrtally wounded. A hun
dred yards to the right was another
tuft which we demolished with a fusi-
lade Of shots. When it was dark we
found there two dead Germans who
were warmly clad and wrapped in rugs.
I'VE decided to initiate the tactics
Of the Germans Two of our men vol
unteered to become water rats. just as
the Germans had become field mice.
Under cover of darkness they wOrmed
themselves into the bank at the water
edge Of a stagnant pond, and the next
day they picked off many Germans be-
fore they were discovered"

New Zealand Rejects
absolute Prohibition;
Drys Lose 10000 Votes

Wellington, New Zealand, Feb. Is
The prohibition movement. which this
year was aimed at the suppression Of
the entire manufacture, importation
and sale of liquor in New Zealand. suf-
fered a loss Of $4,000 votes as compared
with previous campaigns when the
issue was for lesser forms Of suppress
siOns
Aside from this, remarkable
feature Of the recent elections was
political comedy in which the native
women, or brown skinned MaOris, in
North New Zealand, succeeded in send
ing Tau Tenare, a man of their own
race, to parliament, where he holds the
balance Of power. Tenare had not
originally been a candidate but was
unexpectedly put forward by a self
appointed committee Of women in de-
hance of the male politicians, and BY
virtue of the feminine vote he beat
seven other candidates by 200 plurality.
The Maori women frankly admit 1t was
largely BECAUSE Tenare was young and
handsome that they thrust his great
ness upon him.
The successful Maori is keeping both
parties guessing as to his political
complexion. If he sides with premier
Massey, the head of the reform party
now in power, the government will
have Al votes, but if he supports Sir
Joseph Ward, leader of the opposition,
as it is said he proposes to do each
party will have 40 votes, in deadlock
over the election of a speaker for the
house. Efforts have been made te
smoke OUT this Maori AdOnis but they
have been in vain.

GERMANY HAS
ENOUGH MEAT;
FRANCE SHORT
Authority Says France Has
Lost 100000 Head
of Cattle.
FROZEN MEAT Is
MUCH IN DEMAND

2 ONDON, ENG, Feb 13-An au-
thority on the frozen meat trade
- is of the opinion that up to the
present Germany's meat supply has not
been seriously affected by the war, but
as in all the other belligerent nations,
economy there in this respect will be
necessary. Of the general effects Of
the war on European meat supplies he
says:
Meat Scarce in France.
"In France the hostile occupation of
considerable tracts Of territory has Ger
tainIy tended to curtail the quantity of
meat available, but the remaining
stocks undoubtedly have provided dis
proportionately heavy killings, other
wise prices would have advanced more
than has been the case.
Probably the larger proportion OF the
1000. 900 head of cattle in the eastern
provinces, available in July last, are
permanently lost to France, as meat
producers On the other hand, France,
having removed import duties and re-
striCtiOns, has already imported large
quantities Of frozen meat and has ar
ranged for still larger imports IN the
near future. This change of policy is
so marked, and its effect likely to be
so far reaching, that it can hardly fail
to influence materially the course of
the whole frozen meat trade for some
time to come. Formerly France kept
out frozen meat to protect her farmers.
Now that country is admitting frozen
meat, not only to supply military re-
quirements, but also to protect her
flocks and herds from undue leple-
ton.
In Germany, the pressure of de-
mand for army requirements has prob
ably been met thus far from domestic
sources, supplemented by captures from
from small neighboring states, who ap-
pear to have slaughtered stock freely;
but on the other hand the Russian sup
ply Of cattle and feeding stUffs and the
limited receipts Of frozen Australian
mutton and beef have been cut off.
In effect the value of meat in Ger
many does not appear to have been Sc
riOusly affected up to the present, but
indications are not wanting to show
that greater economy in consumption
is now being called for.
Austria Supply Sufficient.
Austria is practically self contained
in respect Of meat requirements al
though Rumania, Servia and other Bal
kan states provided some welcome sup
plies in normal times. These are now I
are being made into her own flocks and !
herds in consequence. That the margin |
Of surplus supply in Austria is unim-
DOrtant was shown by the temporary I
opening Of its markets to frozen meat
three years ago. This popular step was,
however. soon annulled in Difference to
the strong pressure which the Agrarian
party brought to bear upon the gov
eminent"

Soldiers in Trenches
Use Solicited Alcohol
To Warm Up the Rations

Paris, France, Feb. 1S.-The commits
sary department of the army has lately

vanced trenches solidifed alcohol

gives out sufficient heat to warm ur
rations
From the chemists standpoint solidi-
fed alcohol is still inexistent. all
efforts to arrive at this result at or
binary temperature having failed. The
availability of a sOcalled solfdifed al
cohol is due to the genius of the
smuggler. About ten years ago a man
conceived the idea of crushing grated
white soap lin a mortar and mixing
with 1t its weight in alcohol. In this
form the alcohol passed the customs
inspection as soap and a subseouent
simple process Of distiIlation restored
the alcohol to its natural state.
This was the process taken up by the
army to furnish soldiers in the trenches
a convenient inconspicuous means of
heating their food.

Will be no influx of rich Americans to
London for the season this summer
Most Of the London gayeties will be cut

late years. Besides, few Americans
cross the Atlantic to visit England

the Rivera are not quite comfortable
places for a stranger. while the rest of
Europe is mostly impossible.
Some Americans Stiu Here.
There are, it is true, lot of unat-
tached Americans in London, some
anxious to see a bit of the fighting,
some bent on obtaining contracts from
one of the war offices. But the New
York -Four Hundred" will generally
content themselves this year with a
look at Panama and a jaunt around
the resorts and show place of their own
country.
Not Desirable Now.
Tradesmen and hotel managers in
the West End viii miss them, for nova
days many big hotels are almost en-
LHtlE maintained Dy Americans during
the London season But the prOprie-
tors console themselves with the proph-
ecy that so soon as peace comes,
will rush to Europe to see
the battlefields, coming in numbers
never before experienced. This, of
course assumes that America will not
be suffering from depression caused
by the war as some Americans predict
Anyway. LOndOners would not feel
