her cargo of foodstuffs. This the cap
tain declined to do. Great Britain's po-
sition in the matter is explained In the
following statement to the American
embassy in London by Sir Edward
Grey. the British foreign minister:
Ills ma jesty's government share the
desire of the United States government
Tor the immediate settlement OF the
case of the Wflhelmina. This American
ship, laden with foodstuffs. left New
York for Hamburg January % She
called at Falmouth of Der own accord
February .. and her cargo was de-
tanned prize February II. The writ
Institutiug prize court proceedings was
issued February 81 and claimed that
the cargo should be condemned as con-
ira band of war. No proceedings were
taken or even threatened against the
ship herself and in the ordinary course
the cargo would have been unloaded
when seized, so that the ship would be
free to leave. The owners of the
cargo. however. have throughout op-
iected to the discharge of the cargo
and II is because OF this Obje that
the ship is still at Falmouth with the
cargo on board.
Owners to Be Compensated.
Ills majesty's government has form
ally undertaken that even if the con-
demnation of the cargo as contrahand
be secured in the prize court 1t would
none the less compensate the owners
for any loss sustained in consequences
of the ship having been stopped and
proceedings taken against the cargo.
II Is understood that at the time the
proceedings in the prize court would be
IN the nature of test case, the de-
cision of which would govern the
treatment of any subsequent shipment
Of foodstuffs to Germany in similar cir
t.umstances. Since then, however. the
situation has materially changed by the
issue of the order in council of March
under which proven. further supplies be-
ing sent from America to Germany,
whether contrab band or not.
In these circumstances there is no
longer any object in continuing the
judicial proceedings in the case Of the
Wilhelmina. For it can no longer serve
as a test case and it is really agreed
that the owners of the cargo. even II
proved to have no claim. are to be
treated as if their claim was good.
Nothing, therefore, remains but to
settle the claim on proper and just con-
ditions. and this would in the opinion
of his majesty's government be Sc
cured most expeditiously with the least
Inconvenience to all parties by an
agreement between the crown and the
claimants for the disposal of the whole
matter.

CHEAPER SREAD.
Rye and Corn Much Cheaper Than
Wheat and Just as Nutritious

Hys and Corn Much Cheaper Than
Wheat and Just as Nutritious.
Chemists have repeatedly called at
tention to the extravaganza OF the
American public In respect to foods
and have seen in this one OF the
causes Of the high cost of living, says
the New York Medical Journal Again
and again they have pointed out that
cheaper cuts of meat, for example,
are fully as. nourishing as filet and
porterhouse steak, and that all that
Is needed is edification as to the
proper method of cooking.
What is true of meat applies also
to many other foods. Just now, for
example. wheat -four has advanced
considerably in price, being quo<>i at
s6.75 q barrel. Exactly the same
amount OF nourishment in the form
of rye -four costs S5. saving Of
s1.75 barrel.
Why, asks the weekly bulletin OF
the department of health, should Am
orleans continue to prefer wheat -four
when rye is equally ntritfous and
very much cheaper? Or why should
they not learn, like the Scotch, to
make oatmeal, which is even more
nutritious and also much cheaper, a
staple article of diet? Or why dis
dain delicious and wholesome corn
meal, highly nutritious and about
twothirds the price of wheat?
1t might be said, by way of reply
to the Medical Journal, that common
people like wheat bread better than
rye bread or corn bread because 1t
tastes better-eyen though no more
nutritious in fact. While they may
have to come to the cheaper bread,
in the end, they naturally do not like
to quit wheat bread because the con-
ditions that may require them to do
so will not be Of their own making.
1t Is easy to give poor people advice
how to live cheaply; but 1t would be
better to pay them wages enough to
buy wheat bread, anyhow.
