concessions, of course, have no connee-
ton with the grave question of the right
Of American people safely to travel on
British liners, but they are quite to the
point as regards the matter in hand;
and the new spirit displayed by Germany
arouses hope that the Berlin government

safety of travel on British ships which
will be more nearly after the desire of
the United States government.

The uncertainty Of the war operations
in Russia is illustrated by the front
page of daily contemporary which says
in one story that the German ring about
the retreating Russians is growing tight
er and in another story that the Rus

of the war news concerning Russia is at
the present time mere speculation on

BIG LOT Of WHEAT

Bushels and May Seize
l5O,OOO,OOO More

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 29.-Canada to-
day has, under governmental seizure,
20,000,000 bushels Of first class wheat.
This quantity soon will be heading to
England an. Italy, it is believed, while
at the same time 150,000,0OO bushels
more are in danger of seizure.
The first seizure came late Saturday
night and included holding elevators
from Fort William to the Atlantic
coast.
Prevention of skyrocketing of prices
is assigned b. the government as the
reason for thus communicating this
vast supply. Some of it is owned by
Americans, but the government has
promised to pay a reasonable figure
for it.

governmental action.

Of food, and though at the German
border she was searched and afterward
spied on, she had nothing but praise
for the spirit of the fatherland.
"The German people, as whole are

said. "Most Of them believe this will
come in few months. But, meantime,
