POTATO HARVEST DELAYED:
GERMAN ALLOWANCE CUT
Each Ticket Holder to Have Onlv
Two Pounds a Week for
the Present.

AMSTERDAM. July 1o.-The potato

pers. AS an evidence of the growing
seriousness of the potato shortage, the
Berlin municipal authorities, in CO.
operation with the authorities of the
suburbs, have decided that for the pres
ent holders of potato tickets will re-
ceive only two pounds of potatoes a
week. AS a compensation they will get
an extra 400 grammes of -four
Holders of meat cards also must face
decrease in their allowance The
the ensuing week, as opposed to the
former allowance of $50 grammes
(about SIX ounces). This reduction is
ordered on account of the lessening
numbers Of cattle on the market.
The shortage of potatoes in Germany
has been serious factor in the food
situation, according to a statement by
Adolph Won Batocki, Germanys food
dictator. Early in June the German au-
thorities proposed to- prohibit meat
consumption for two months. This plan
was vetoed by Won Batocki, who stated
that it was inadvisable because of the
lack of potatoes to take. the place OF
the necessary fats.
The first meat cards were issued in
Berlin June of this year and provid
ed for a weekly meat ration of 800
grammes (about IL ounces) per head.
This amount was reduced TO 200

HOMES FOR EX-SOLDIERS.
Sir Rider Haggard Investigating
Means to Place Men on Land.

of the Associated Press.
SYDNEY. Australia, June 4.-Sir Ri
der Haggard, the English novelist and
land settlement expert. who is on a
tour Of British oversee dominions to
investigate ways and means of plac-
ing British soldiers and sailors on the
land after the war, sailed for New Zea-
land from here last week, having nm
ished his work in Australia. He will
spend about a month in New Zealand
and will then go on to Canada.
Speaking of his efforts in the COM
monwealth, which involved 5000 miles
travelling in about six weeks, he said
they had been extraordinarily success
full.
The Queensland government" he
said. "is prepared to provide a million
acres for agriculture for the settle
ment of ex-service men from the
United Kingdom. The New South
Wales government by its irrigation
schemes will be enabled to increase its
settlers by about 1000 in two years
and in this is prepared to put time
expired United Kingdom soldiers on
the same footing as its own men. 9th
er states are also willing to extend to
ex-service men from the United King
dom the same advantages in land set
tlement as they offer their own"

family hiding under her. But at last,
sure that she had had the best Of Redtafl
the Hawk. and that he had flown away
for good, she permitted Farmer Browns
boy to count her babies while she FUSED
about and told him all about the robber
she had driven away. OF course. he didn't
understand a word she said. but he
guessed what she was telling him, and
called her brave old lady. and told her
how proud he was of her.
Now, there had been twenty chickens
in the care of Mrs. Featherlegs, ten black
ones, which were her own, and ten white
ones, which were the ones Farmer
Browns boy thought SO much of and
expected such great things from when
they should be grown up. You remem-
Der he had given them to Mrs. Feather
legs to care for because she was such
a good mother, while their own mother
was gossiping. needless young thing.
particularly such an important family as
this one. OF course, Farmer Browns
boy was most anxious about the white
chickens, and of course he counted them
first.
Zone. two. three, four. five. six, seven.
eight, nine. ten. eleven" Farmer
Browns boy scowled. Now how can
make eleven out of ten?" he demanded
of no one in particular Those little
have counted one of them twice. One.
two. three, four. five, six, seven. eight.
nine, ten and one makes eleven!"
felt foolish, I suspect he did. He had
had only ten white chickens and there
were no other white chickens on the
farm, yet he had counted eleven both
and began counting. The result was just
the same as before-eleven! We'll. one
thing is sure, and that is that old Red
tail didn't catch any of the white ones.
would rather there should be one too many
than one short Now. you black scamps,
hold still while I try my luck counting

seven. eight. nine, ten; all safe. I guess
Mother Featherlegs gave him a surprise
party He surely got left this time. In
stead of being one chicken short I've got
one too many. Now that I've counted
the black ones right, I'll try the white
ones again"
So once more Farmer Browns boy
'counted the white chickens very care
fully, and once more the count was
eleven. At first Farmer Browns boy
had been provoked with himself to think
that he was so stupid or careless as to
he must have done. Now his freckled
face wore puzzled look Just coming
out of the house was Farmer Brown.
Hi dad ,c Please &c come over cs,I here and
err Browns boy. Farmer Brown came
and counted the chickens. all the time
wondering why he had been asked to:
II make twenty-one," said he; ten

Count 'em again. cried Farmer
Browns boy, eagerly.
So Farmer Brown counted them again.
and just as before he got ten black and
eleven white. Just what l make the
count" cried his boy. I've counted and
counted until l hardly know If am on
my head or my heels, and always get 1t
the same"
Farmer Brown looked as II he didn't
understand at all well, what Of II?
he asked at last.
Nothing. only there never has been
but ten of those white ones before" cried
Farmer Browns boy.

Continuous Voyage Doctrine.

The principle of continuous voyage.
adopted in the British order as war
rant for the seizure of cargoes destined
to reach belligerent country from a
neutral country through an intermedi-
ate neutral port, is one which also has
formed the basis of prolonged discus
sion between London and Washington,
and so far without bringing them into
accord.
Another outstanding issue now
sought to be settled outright is the as
serted right of belligerent to cap
ture and confiscate a blockade runner
after the completion of her cruise and
when engaged in other business. The
United States has never recognized this
principle, contending that the offense
is not continuous, and that the vessel
must be taken red handed If she is to
be subject to seizure.
The assertion of the right to confis-
cate a cargo. more than half Of which
is contraband, also is disputed.

II you don't believe II just try count

times as you please, the answer will al

Browns boy knows this. He also knows
that 1t is just as true that II you

one left. and one only. So the instant
he discovered Redtan the Hawk sailing
away up in the blue. blue sky he decided
that he must count his chickens and do
it right away. Then he would know
whether or not Redtail had caught one.
Mrs. Featherlegs was still rather ex-

Taeore, the famous Indian poet, who
has come to Japan to study the psy-
chology of its people. has received re-
markable ovations here. At each place

his shoulders. At one town a party Of
Buddhist priests boarded the poets
train and performed a service of well
come. burning incense all the while.
The poet will stay several months

ings is one Of the powerful influences
which dominate the Japan OF today

recent sweeping decision of the Brit

The greatest Importance is attached
here to the very first declaration re-
garding the presumption of enemy des-
t1nation of cargoes of contrabrand. The
United States government has contend
ed that the burden of proof of the con-
triband character and liability to seiz-
