OF course, there is retaliation by the

Death Toll Terrible ... '....... -.
The terrible toll of death being ex-
acted from the enemy ranks by the ar
tillery and the continual drainage of
their war supplies; by the destruction
caused by shells and bombs are having
their effect. The German wall of de-
Tense Is still strong, but it is weaker
than it was and later must crumble
If the Allied methods of wearing down
are continued. 1t needs no military
expert to figure this out. Every Tom.
my along the line is aware of this.
Persons far removed from the war
zone, perhaps, do not consider military
operations from an abstract viewpoint
often enough. That is, they conceive
progress only when some city has fallen
or an advance has been made over a
great stretch Of territory and thousands
Of prisoners have been taken. Certain
ly these big separations appeal to the
imagination, but, in viewing them, one
should not overlook the inestimabe
value of the grinding, killing process
which never ceases.
This process has been continued by
the British steadily since the recent big
offensive. The. artillery has kept up an
almost unceasing thunder along the
whole front, and air raids and thrusts
by the, infantry have been working
great destruction in the enemy terri

FLOUR IS made Of
N ISLAND PRODUCTS
Gamma, Sweet Potatoes, Bana-
mas and Cassaya Can Be Used

q y Il u ID n
Samples of -four made from various
island fruits and vegetables have been
sent TO the territorial food commission
by lJsgM. Westgate Of theu United
States experiment station. They have
been prepared by Maxwell o. johnson,
who has been appointed chemist to
the commission. - EagfHf
Edible Gamma, Irish and sweet pc.
tatoes, bananas, taro and cassava
Hours are included in the samples. The
eassaNa Hour is the most like wheat
Hour in appearance, being fine and
white, very similar to the best patent
-four Taro comes next in fineness and
whiteDess. The other flours are darker
and coarser, and look more like whole
wheat and graham Hours. fa n
A Bulletin accompanying the flour
samples gives methods and cost of pre-
paration, with other facts. The cas-
sava, sweet potatoes, and itaro are cas-
lily dried raw and ground after drying.
Cannas, bananas, and Irish potatoes
must, be steamed before drying, making
their manufacture a longer and more
complicated process. H.. .,.t. 3 ID
The best Of the experimental hours
Is the cassava flour, according to the
bulletin. II is the cheapest to produce,
costing only one and one half cents per
pound, and is the nearest in content to
wheat flour. 1t has been used success
fully in bread by combining one.third
cassava -four with two thirds wheat
Hour, and makes delicious pancakes
with the addition of smaller proper
tion Of white -four. .... -,t.
Sweet potato -four comes next in
cost of production and usefulness. The
taro flour is not recommended, as prac.
ticaliy all the tarO grown in the Ter.
ritory is used in making poi and is
needed for that staple article of food.
The Irish potato and Gamma flours have
a prohibitive manufacturing cost, and
the cost of making banana flour Is also
high. The banana is best utilized
fresh or dried, says the bulletin, which
is by Maxwell o. Johnson. s.r.r.,
Cooking experiments carried out by
experts TO determine standard recipes
for the use of cassava -four are sug-
tgested by the bulletin, which also
makes the suggestion that the produc-
ton of cassava might be stimulated by
the county agents.
A factory for the making of cassava
-four might be erected, johnson says,
and the plant could be turned into a
drying plant for cassava stock feed if
the end of the war put a stop at any
demand for cassaVa -four, which he
thinks could be retailed for about two
cents per pound.
A five.eent loaf of cassava and white
flour produced in large enough guam
titles to be offered for sale through
out the city is also suggested by the
bulletin. There is not much demand
for a ten-eent loaf of bread from dark
fOurs, says the bulletin, but fvecent
loaf might fill long-felt want, and if
made partly with cassava the saving
of wheat -four would be noticeable.

CHARTER RATE is i.
FIXED At $5.75
BY End of Year Nine Million Tons
Will Be Under Control
of Board

WASHINGTON, September go
The Shipping Board today decided on
1915 a ton month charter rate as
the base to be paid by the corporation
for merchant vessels requisitioned by
the government. The nnnounc ement of
the rate is believed to be preparatory
to an announcement of the comman!
deering of every American oceans going
vessel for transatlantic service.
Before the end Of 1918, the Shipping
Board announced this morning, it will
have n fleet of more than 1900 vessels
aggregating 100000 tons, compared
with i ,6f4,00O tons Aging the Ameri.
can flag in 1914. The board this morn
ing made its first statement of prog.
ress on Ithe shipping program.
There are at present available about
$500, 900 tons including 100000 tons Of
Austrian and German ships taken over.
There are now available for over seas
approximately 400 steel ships aggre-
eating 100000 have been comman.
decred under construction and are now
being completed. The Emergency
Fleet Corporation also has contracted
for $50 ships of 3,l24,000 tons
In its statement the Shipping Board
SAYS the fleet is fast becoming a real
ity. Some commandeered ships have
been finished and are taking cargOes.
Oilers are leaving the ways in in
eroasing numbers. The first of the
vessels contracted for by the Emerg.
ency Fleet Cooperation is expected to
be launched within sixty days.

captain-Lawyer viii 30 His Bit
BY Taking Command Of Yes
sci lnterned At Hilo i

Some Interest will be displayed at the
news that Captain Inman Sealby, a
former well-known commander In the
White Star Line, and who for some
years past has been practising law in
San Francisco, is returning to his old
profession. ...s.
81. Captain Sealby, although having re.
tired from a sea life for some years,
has evidently not lost the British sailor
spirit, and has decided to "do his bit. -
According to United States advices,
Captain Sealby has accepted an APP
pointment by the United States Ship
ping Board as commander Of the o. y.
Alters, the largest of the informed
German steamers now being repaired
on the Pacific Coast. ...-.8sf
Captain Sealby will be hotter re-
membered by Liverpool nautical circles
In connection with the White Star liner
Republic, which was rammed by an
Italian steamer in a fog of the Nan.
tucket coast, and his gallant act of
duty in remaining on board his ship
until she sank under him, he being for.
tunate, however, in being rescued Dur.
ing the litigation following the sink.
ing of the Republic Captain Sealby
concluded that if the Admiralty law.
yers who swarmed in and out of the
case had been able to draw from prac.
tical experience the knowledge they
needed in handling the matters in
volved, there would have been light
in many very dark places, and much
valuable time would have been saved.
He decided to try the experiment for
himself. He had the seafaring expert
lence. He would acquire the necessary
legal lore. Having arrived at this de-
cision, Captain Sealby went to the
United States and studied at a univer.
sity in Michigan. He specialized in
law, and after passing as an Admiral
ty lawyer, having graduated with the
senior class, he was as familiar with
Blackstone as he was with the ma
riners' compass, and in due course he
was admitted to the bar, but before
starting to practise Captain Sealby
went to Rome to study Italian law. On
his return he settled down in San
Francisco, and became a partner Of the
firm of Hill and Sealby As. an Adj
miralty lawyer Captain Sealby has had
IA most successful career.
The fact of his giving up law work,
for the time, TO again take command
is sure proof of his anxiety and
Willingness to help to meet the inter,
national situation. The United States
