Following is an excerpt from let

| from Sir George Paish, of London,
Dated March 81. 1917:
Il have been endeayoring TO form
| some sort of notion OF the world
| supplies of food both this season ana
next, and have come to the conclu-
sion that if the American people VIII
continue to help the world to get
through this time of great stress and
strain by (one) growing as much
food as possible and ttWo) them
| selves consuming no more than alb
| solutely essential, the world Will
weather through, although the mar
gin of safety will be very slender
Would it be possible for the ladies
of America to start an economy cam
paign for the benefit of the women
and children, not of Belgium only
but practically of the entire world,
for it is evident that many poor
family will not be able to buy food
in the coming twelve or eighteen
months in consequence OF It's dear
ness and scarcity, unless those wo-
men who can afford to pay hlgh
prices voluntarily deny themselves
and share the food which Providence
provides with their poorer sisters

world will beat with that mother,
love which is all powerful for good
and which will prevent the recur-
renee of such a disaster as that now
threatening the human race.
THE need of humanity is great.

great"

Garden Onions

Onions, both Of the green, spring
variety and of the dry sort, used for
stewing and flavoring, because of
their immense yield, should be in
every small garden, says today's bull
letin of the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission, co-operat-
ing with this newspaper to increase
the food supply by planting home
gardens as war measure.
Onions grown commercially some
times yield as much as 500 bushels
to the acre. Therefore even a small
bed in a garden viii produce large
supply.
The careful gardener may disre-
gard directions and plant onions ev-
en- closer than the rules advise. The
two requisites in very close plant
ing are rich soil and thorough cult
walton. Weeds are fatal to heavy
yields of onions. Frequent, shallow
hoeing, or, if the rows are too close
together for the hoe, stirring the
soil with a hand wedding fork, and
plenty Of water are essential in good
onion cultivation.
Green onioTs are grown from the
small bulbs, called, sets. Onions
planted in this way will come into
bearing rapidly. The usual method
of planting sets is to make hole in
the soil with the finger or a small
stick one inch deep and cover up the
bulb without pressing the soil on

Ice To Cost Moro.

Owing to increased cost Of manu-
featuring, the Directors Of the Cam
bridge Ice Co. have instructed the
managers of their ice plants at Cam
bridge, Hurlock and fredericksburg to
advance price Of ice 20 per cent.
This will mean that consumers Will
have to pay &c. for 10 lbs. that they
have been getting for Sc, and cou-
pom books that have been costing
them $3.50 will now cost them So.
This advance will only about half
cover the increased cost of manufac-
turing, as coal will cost US $2.07 per
ton this year more than last, and as
we use nearly 1000 tons per year this
one item alone means nearly $4,000
additional expense.

FEDERAL INCORPORATION
Of RAILROAD kSSA|LED
s. Davies Warfeld Calls Plan Rev.
dictionary Legislation Before
Bankers. /
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. Md. November 13.-
The proposed plan of federal incor-
poration OF railroads was declared to
be revolutionary corporate legislation
by s. Davies Warfeld. president of the
Continental Trust Co. OF Baltimore. In
an address before today's session Of the
sixth annual convention Of the invest
ment bankers association OF America.
Mr.. Warheld, who Is also chairman OF
the board Of directors of the seaboard
Air Line railway and president OF the
National Association Of Owners Of Rail-
road Securities. said the plan was not
only fraught with danger to the peo-
pie, in that 1t takes five out six steps
toward government ownership, but
that 1t was a menace 10 the holders OK
all classes of securities. because It pro-
posed. he added. the greatest autocracy
in corporate management yet sug-
gested If enacted into law it would
not alone apply to railroad corpora
tions. he commended. but sooner or iaf-"
the same principle would likely be e1-
tended to all corporations engaged In
Interstate commerce.
The plan is, not that the carriers
may have the right to be incorporated
under a federal act. giving up their
state charters" said Mr.. Warheld, but
that the act will arbitrarily compel the
carriers to take out charters under the
federal act. To accomplish this. since
no other means has been thus far
shown for its accomplishment, it viii
be necessary for all existing interstate
railroad companies. organized under
state charters, to sell all their proper
ties to new corporations to be organised
under a federal act-changing the very
fundamentals incident to present rail-
road existence plan SO sweeping as
TO demand the attention of every stock
holder and bondholder Of every rail-
road in the United States.

RUSSIANS OUTNUMBERED
IN GULF OF RIGA BATTLE
Lieutenant Arrives on Pacific Coast,
Declaring Shallow Water at
Moon Sound Was Handicap.

SAN FRANCISCO. November 10
Further details of tho recent battle be-
tween the Russian and German fleets in
the Gulf Of Riga were disclosed here to-
day by Lieut. p. Tirbak. who is on his
way to Washington, where he will be
attached to the stan of the Russian
ambassador, George Bakhmeteff-
Lieut.. Tirbak. who was on the nag
ship of the Russian admiral. said the
fleet was handicapped in Its engage
ment with the Germans by the shallow
water in Moon sound. which prevented
their modern ships from Joining the
battle. Russian forces on Oesel Island
consisted Of 5000 infantrymen. said
Lieut.. Tirbak. They were not support
ed by artillery and were opposed by nve
times their number. The Germans ad-
ranced under cover of their heavy war
ship guns after the destruction OF the
forts at Hundra and Soelo sound
Three of the four Russian regiments
attempted to desert when they dtscov-
cred the numbers OF the enemy, ana
were shot down IN droyes by the 4th
Regiment, which stood fast 20 It's posi-
ton and was slaughtered. or the origi-
nal 1.4oo men in this regiment only NJ
teen survived, said the lieutenant.
The Russian fort at Zerel was DESERT
ed soon after the Germans gained q
foothold on the island. according to
Lieut. Tirbak, and because he did not
wish to see it captured he set time
fuse to the munitions magazine ard de-
stroyed the fort. 1t was considered IN
pregnable. as 1t had withstood the bora
harding Of the heavy shells OF the enc
my's navy and airplane squad.
Lieut.. Tirbak witnessed the sinking
Of the Russian battleship SlaVa, relic
Of the Japanese-Russo war. which went
down in the channel of Moon sound.
The sinking of this vessel blocked the
channel and prevented the Germans
from gaining access to the Gulf of Fin
land The lieutenant said this move
was thought to be one Of the most brill
liant strategic actions OF the Russian
navy in this war.
Lieut.. Tirbak is accompanied by
Lieut.. G. Lordkipandize. another naval
officer. who will be attached TO Am
bassador Bakhmeteff's stan. The Rus
sian airplane commission, whosv pur-
pose is to purchase materials for largo
