 In the matter of food supplies, England is increaseing its surplus In spite of the ruthless" warfare. More meat is being delivered to British ports than the average Of deliveries for the past seven years, In the item of butter alone the receipts are represented as below the average. At French ports the delivery of food supplies has been ample and fully up to the aYerase volume of the deliveries of the past year.
 The German hope of victory IS not eneourased by the six weeks record. If this is the best the Teu- tons can do, then the conclusion Is obvious that they will fail to starye England. The German ermy is outnumbered in the field three to one, the German navy is bottled up and useless as an aggressive force, and the submarines are inef- feetive.

Odd Titles of Newspapers.

In Columbus, says the Dispatch there Is man whose chief joy is in collec- tion of newspaper titles.
 There are Headlights, Flashlights, Bees, Eagles, Owls, Mirrors and News Letters, but when 1t comes to Derricks. Meddlers, Telescopes, Flags and Sun beams the class is limited In Hot Springs there is published the Arkan- sas Thomas Cat, and other titles just as unusual are the S!edga Hammer, the Irrepressible, the Silent Worker and Gall,
 Frequently it is possible to tell from the title of newspaper the state in which 1t is published. For instance, the Chicctain is in Oklahoma, the Rus tier and the Lariat are in Texas, Big Hole Freezes in Montana and the Roundup in Wyoming.

That Report Of Recent Sea
Battle Is Authentic

Rio Dc Janeiro, Feb. 16.-The Ger
man sea raider was sung by the British
cruiser Amethyst, but converted Ger
man cruiser conveying the sea terror
escaped, according to reliable informa-
tion concerning the much reported nav
al battle, reaching here today.
This version is said to have been re-
ceived by wireless by the commander of
the British cruiser Glasgow, which put
into Rio harbor today.
The Ametkyss is reported to hay Q
been greatly damaged in her encounter
with the raider and cruiser.
The newspaper Core 10 Da Mania
had still another version today, al
though agreeing in the main with the
one above. 1t asserted there were sew
eral British cruisers in the action,
which was fought against three large
steamers. One of the latter is supposed
to have been beached in sinking con
dition and another greatly damaged.
The Amethyst, according to this ac-
count was only slightly damaged

laughable. Anyone who knows anything
Of German life knows that such thing
is impossible and the excuse is fantastic
nonsense. The action was deliberate be-
cause the Germans hoped it might tend
to drive Mr.. Gerard into helping negoti-
ate the agreement.
tThe German government 5 action
toward American correspondents was in
line with its action toward Ambassador
Gerard. Certain American correspon-
dents are marked partisaDs of Germany.
Some even side openly with Germany
against their own country
OF GeTmany's maneuvering through
the Swiss minister at Washington,
Davis said:
"It is characteristic of the double
game Germany is endeavoring to play
that, although the entire party of Am
erieans now here, including the embas-
sy and consular officials and newspa-
per men, were present in Berlin during
all last week when this scheme received
its initiation, none of them heard a
single word about it until it was an
nounced from Washington. Ambassador
Gerard was wholly in the dark concern
ing it,"
