MAY TAKE
 OVER FOOD SUPPLY

LONDON, Nov. 11.-From dis
 patch received from the Petrograd correspondent of the Times, it appears
 that the food crisis is getting more serious day by day. "The discussion at Wednesdays sitting of the budget committee left little doubt as to the gravity of the situation" he says, "and the speakers emphasized the impera- tive necessity of adopting amelior- ative measures on behalf of the work ing classes. Their situation is intol- erable owing to the impossibiIity of obtaining the uecessaries of life with out standing for hours daily outside the provision shops.
 The committee agreed that it was necessary to transfer the control of the whole food question to a single government department It also voted in favor of fixing prices for grain, foot wear, textiles, kerosene, soap and oth- CT things The committee was also in favor of enIisting the Zemstvos and other public organizations in the work of purchasing, distributing and trans porting food"

.SCANDINAvlANS TO
 REMAIN AT PEACE
NO PROSPECT OF THEIR ENTER ING THE WAR SAYS SWEDISH
 SHIPOWNER.

SEATTLE, Nov. 11.-An interesting statement was made yesterday by F. c. TIulton a visitor here, shipowner and operator, of Copenhagen, after a tour of large shipping points in the United States, in which he expressed his view as 'to the possibility of the Scandinavian races to enter the pres ent war He said in part:
 "There is small prospect that any of the Scandinavian countries will go to war with either the NIios or the Central PoWers,' said Mir. Hutton last night "In the event of their doing so ! see little chance of their disturbing the shipbuiiding industry of your Pa cifc Coast. Norway, for instance, could not afford to forfeit her business standing by forcing the cancellation of building contracts in this country.
 Despite interference with our trade we of the Scandinavian countries have prospered greatly by the war, and we have everything to gam by remaining out of it. We have been forced to con- cede many things So have all the neutrals. Despite all this prosperity is evident everywhere in the countries at peace"
 Hutton will sail on the Empress oj China and return home via Siberia.

The Power Boat
 COmanche Goes South

Captain F. s. Kendall, of the United States transport Crook with Dr. Bell the army physician aboard, together with Chief Engineer w. s. Chapman, were being piloted about town today by Captain Simon Kildall, while the transport was being loaded with pro visions and coal for the trip south.
 Captain Kildall, one of the oldest navigators of these waters, was act ing pilot, not only while in town but also of the transport. The transport ran out of provisions and coal and had to put into port Due to the size of the big boat, the course was chang ed coming in by way of Cape Ominey and through the Tongass Narrows, feat remarkable by itself for the size of the ship. Capt Kildall, whose knowledge of these waters is unsur- passed, was requested to pilot the big ship through. Capt Kildall says that the Crook is the biggest ship ever en- tered the Ketchikan port and was made compulsory by the shortage of stores for the large number of pas sengers and crew. The ship meas ures 465 feet in length with a capa- city of 4500 tons.
 Captain Kildall is returning from Anchorage where he has been in charge of the Portland, Oregon, com. pany which was awarded the contract for several million feet of lumber by the Alaska Engineering Commission early last spring, MT Kildall being in charge of the Alaska end of the busi- ness. He plans to return in the spring.
