LONDON, November 1.-THE food
crisis daily assumes more formida BILE
proportions" says the Times Petro-
grad correspondent. 1.-The discussion at
Wednesdays sitting of the budget COM
mittee left little doubt as to the grav-
ity of the situation. The speakers
emphasized the imperative necessity
of adopting ameliorative measures on
behalf of the working classes if most
unfortunate consequences are to be
averted.
The situation Of the lower classes is
at present intolerable. owing to the
impossibility of obtaining the neces-
saries of life without standing for
hours daily outside provision shops.
The committee agreed that it was
necessary to transfer the control of
the whole food question to a single
government department. 1t also voted
in favor of fixing prices for grain.
footwear. textiles. kerosene. soap and
other things. The committee was also
in favor Of enlisting the Zemstvos and
other public organizations in the work
of purchasing, distributing and trans
porting food.

WHY CAPT. FRYATT
- -. ......... WAS. EXECUTED

+ LONDON, Eng. Why Capt. Fryatt
was executed in, such a hurry and
who were chiefly responsible is made
clear, says Daily Mail telegram
from Amsterdam, In an article in the
chief Prussian conservative paper,
the Kreuzzeitung, by Prof. kruck'
mann. ii. <.su.. 3. -.
Capt. Fryatt was, executed with the
deliberate intention of exasperating
British public opinion and of enabling
the pan-Germans, .annexationists and
anti-Bethmannites to cry England
will never forgive US now; we must
fight her to the last drop Of blood.
In other words it was a political
crime intended to choke once and fol
all the growing hopes of many Ger
mans that the fate. of the bulk of the
nation might possibly sbe avoided by
sacrificing the men really responsible
for the war. That such hopes have
recently been entertained In some
quarters is unquestionable. -
Says the professor: ! Nobody who
knows England could be in the slight
est doubt that the, shooting of an
English captain must produce a fina
development of the war into one Of
pitiless fighting to the bloodiest o.
ends. BY, shooting Fryatt we have
begun this new phase, and now there
is no turning back 81 .-.J1

BRITISH CREDIT IS.
STANDING strain,
||;sAYS CHANCELLOR

LONDON. Eng.-Mr. Mckenna, re-
Flying to criticisms in the house CT
commons as to the treasury's method
of borrowing for the purposes of the
war, said that the Indebtedness at the
end Of March next was estimated at
s2,64O. 900 900. or about one years ma
tional income-not an intolerable bur
den to contemplate. :. -.. -...
The capital wealth OF the country
was estimated at fI5,000, 100000, or
more than six times the estimated
debt. -.
Ideas had radically changed. said
Mr. Mckenna, in consequence OF the
war. The figure of 500 millions,
which was now so startling, was not
really very startling in relation to the
ether figures Britair's total indebt-
edness on March 81 next. he estimated.
would be 3440 millions. Ont of that
might fairly be taken the amount of
cur advances to the Allies and Domin-
ions, which, at the same date, he put
at about 500 millions, leaving our net
Indebtedness at the end of March
2640 millions. That was out Of all
proportion to anything known or
thought of before, but was it burden
3 hieh we were unable to meet? The
= ational income now might probably
be put at about $500 millions. II had
been estimated by one authority at
2400 millions in 1914, and at 200
millions a month or two ago. Another
authority had put it as high as 5000
millions, but he thought that was an
exaggeration. On the figure he took,
| the national Indebtedness was just
about equal to one years national in
come, which figure was not burden
I !ntolerable to contemplate.
British Credit Standing the Strain :
If it was compared with our total
national capital wealth, which he esti-
mated at $1,000 millions, the proper.
ton Of Indebtedness was not really
| large. In one year We would have
| collected a revenue which would be
equal to 90 per cent or our whole
! debt, and we would be able to pay out
| of taxation the interest on the debt
and a considerable sinking fund, and
still leave large margin for redHc
ton of taxes on March 81. He ex,
pressed no opinion as to when the war
would end. He was merely stains
what would be the financial position
! at the end Of the financial year. He
! had reason to be proud of the man
ner in which British credit had stood
the strain. We we're raising gigantic
revenue. We had succeeded in OBJ
/ tanning it at reasonable rates for two
years. and he had not the slightest
doubt that the British public wouid
j continue to show, willingness to SID
FORT their country beth By payife
taxes and by lending money. Howeyel

the slightest doubt that we would VI
