 Dublin Castle authorities, in conjun- ction with the military chiefs, have devised and already put into execut- ion plan for feeding the civilian population. The food qquestion was becoming almost desperate owing to lack of supplies. This morning rat ions of bread, flour, meats and fish were provided and in nearly all dis tricts the supply was ample.

 They think, however, that between 15 and 20 houses, mainly business i concerns, have been destroyed The loss may be conservatively placed at ! $t0 0bC ,000.

FINE RAINS
Did Growing Crops Good, but Spoil
 Ripening Berries.

The rains over this section, which started Monday, will prove very bene- ficial tothe growing crops and was very welcome to the farmers.It has, however, damaged the ripening straw berries The fields Sunday were filled with the ripening berries and Monday would probably have been the heav- jest day but for the rain. Hundreds of crates of berries will be lost, but the rains will likely cause the new berries to make it up. At Horatio tie growers picked and shipped a car Sunday. It was said that they were badly in need of rain and that the berries would have stopped making without the rain.
