ALLIES PATROL
SEAS OF WORLD
Mightiest of Fighting Vessels
Maintain Closest Blockade
in History.
SCOUT SHIPS EVER ON MOVE
Submarines Of Central Powers Find
Their Most Profitable Hunting
Ground in the Mediterranean
Italy Hit Heavily.

New York.-On the seas of the world
the fighting vessels of the allied ma
| tons maintain the most gigantic and
effective blockade ever enforced since
the triremes of Caesar overran the
Mediterranean in the campaign that
preceded Pompey's humiliation.
In this sea that has swallowed the
hulks of the navies of Carthage.
Greece and Rome the "camoufiaged"
units of the mightiest engines ever
set afioat by man meet in a constant
test of skill and daring. The Anglo
chGreek-Italian fleet maintain
a stringent blockade of every mile Of
Mediterranean coastline. Despite the
alertness Of the allies In this sea the
submarines of the central empires find
here their most profitable hunting
ground. The kingdom of Italy is suf-
fering the throes Of a serious coal
shortage due to the severe losses of
Italian shipping. supplemented by neu-
trail and British shipping, in these
waters. Indeed, the sinkings are so
numerous and vital that a serious
Italian offensive may be always fore
stalled by the undersea power Of the
German empire. Out of one fleet of
coal ships sailing from Genoa to Liv-
erpool and numbering twelve units,
only five returned to their home port.
In the eastern Atlantic and the Eng
lish channel there Is In effect the most
extensive and impenetrable blockade
Of any. During the day. British and
French scout ships nose their precari-
Gus ways among the shadows in close
proximity to the German coastal wa
tiers watching for sign Of enemy
forces. These waters are thickly
strewn with mines, both nations mining
extensively to suit their programs of
attack or defense. Sporadic raids by
German light units are occasionally |
successful, but these are becoming
rarer and rarer. Steel nets are also |
being used by the British navy to COM
bat the submersibles. These, in spite |
Of all reports to the contrary, are still |
in an experimental stage and are Of |
doubtful effectiveness, especially since |
submarine has been evolved with |
machinery for the destroying Of the
most powerful nets now in use by the
admiralty.
Altered at Night.
With the coming of night and dark
ness. the schedule is altered some
what, and merchant fleets which have
been forming in sheltered ports during
the day are conveyed across the chan
mel In well-defended routes. The con-
voy consists Of no capital ships, but Of
destroyers and scout boats, which rush
along In devious courses and at ter
rife speeds. With protecting units in
front, behind and surrounding them.
the fleet usually gains the borders Of
Dutch territorial waters In safety.
Here the naval squadron stops short
and the merchants go safely on into
their ports Of destination. Shortly aft

markets under their control. With the
liberation Of vegetables in stock. that
is, held for further rise. prices have
declined in. the principa! cities. One
of the most remarkable declines has
been in the charges for potatoes While

of 100000 was being dispatched from

Spiritual Supremacy.

Henry Wood We are souls having
bodies, and not bodies having souls.
Man is higher than his visible instru-
ment or embodiment, and should con-
tinually affirm his rule. 1t is his
Legitimate kingdom. He may cultivate
growing sense Of spiritual suprem,,
acy, increasingly dominate physical
sensation, and by degrees free himself
from it's tyranny. Hygiene to be truly
lcomprehensive and scientific, must
begin to concern itself with the clean-
ness of mind az well as body. and with
the ventilation Of the thought atmo-
sphere as well as the air of the apart
ment. Bad mental pictures must be
classed with sewer gas and pessimism
rated like malaria. 1dealtsm and OPP
timism must take their place among
sanitary agencies, and man utilize his
hitherto slumbering resources and
focalize his thought forces. Vitality
can be increased from within. All this
lis exceedingly simple when the work.
ling of the law is intelligently grasped:
/. 1t does not disparage physical
hygiene, but is friendly and cooper
alive.
