ReAexes Of War

One effect Of the present curious po-
siton of British shipping, which is
now being discussed among owners,
says "The London Times" is the diff
fculty Of knowing exactly what valua-
ton should properly, in the existing
conditions, be placed upon tonnage.
Usually one of the chief tests is the
level Of prices at which vessels change
ownership, but for some months past
there has been very little selling and
buying of ships. 1t has probably never
been more difficult TO bring together
the ideas of those who ordinarily would
be prepared 70 sell and those who
would be ready to buy. A reason for
this is that for some two years there
were a great many transactions IN
ships at constantly rising prices. Those
who paid enormous prices are now
naturally not disposed 10 sell them at
a loss, especially if they happen to be
managers who have invested share
holders money. On the other hand,
IL would be quite out of the question
for any British owners to buy ships az
fabulous prices in view of the fact that
the bulk of British shipping IS now
reouisitioned. These requisition rates,
the Chancellor Of the EXchequor has
stated in Parliament, do not in all
cases cover the expenses. IL is under
stood that the difficulty Of arriving at
the real value of tonnage has been
especially apparent in cases where yes
sells have been lost while under requi-
sition "a the government, with the pro-
vso that the government should, IN
the event Of loss, pay the ascertalned
market value on the day Of the loss.
A dozen different factors affect The
real value, one of the chief of which
would seem TO he the cost Of replacing
the vessel.
a Reuter- dispatch says that the Pro-
visional Russian Government has de-
cidod to prohibit the dispatch Of
checks abroad and also payments in
ruble currency into the current &C
counts of Russian nationals and IN
stitutions abroad. At the same time,
the Minister of Finance has been au-
thorized 10 Get Up a special department

hencoforth only be carried out through

 The organs transpanted This surgical graft ing business. Dr. Sader admits is yet fully worked vital organs been successfully transplanted from animal another, and by analogy it sured that the thing be done with human beings
 Suppose th sound pair of kidneys dies under circumstances that leaves those organs ntrnscally good Suppose another is all right except for a diseased kidney There's reason, in theory least why the sound kidney cant be transferred to the living body and normal functions there if the proper surgical precautions taken
 It doesn't sound strange after all marvels per formed by surgeons in the last few years Dr. Alexis Carre has things just wonderful The suggestion long vista of possibilities in the of car pentering and gardening the body, to speak. And it brings puzzlng problems, too

WAR SUMMARY

Further successes by the Teutonic allies on the lower line Of the Sereth river near its junction with the Danube officially reported Tuesday are partly offset by Rumanian advance and the capture Of trenches of the AustTO-Ger- man forces along the Moldavian from tier in the region of the Slanic valley, the invading army delivered a strong attack and drove the Russians from a height, capturing a machine sun, mine throwers and 174 men.
 Fierce fighting along the lower Ser eth line resulted in the capture by Turkish troops of the Rumanian town of Mihalea, northwest Of Braila. and 400 men of its garrison. Others of the defending force. attempting to escape, were drowned in the Sereth. The BulSarians have taken a monas- tery near the confluence of the Buzen and Sereth rivers.
 Heavy fighting is in progress on both sides of the Oituz valley, in the mountains of MOldavia, where strong attacks by both invaders and defend CTS were repulsed
 Aside from the Rumanian war then
 tre activity was developed in the Biea sector of the Russo-German front and at Serre on the SOmme front in France, and a German attack by heavy forces
 south of Lake Babit. at the northern
 end of the Russian front, which was repulsed.
 British troops launched a new at- tack against Serre and gained a foot
 ing in one of the advanced German positions. Otherwise. only artillery ! fighting in the region of Chaulnes is reported along the French front The usual artillery duels were main tained along the whole AuStrOItaliau | line.
 | Entente forces advancing toward Stravina in Macedonia were checked. A Russian squadron is reported to ! have raided the Anatulian coast of the | Black Sea and sunk 70 Turkish sail
 ins vessels carrying food to Constl- | tinople.

FRENCH TEMPERANCE.

The French government reQuisitioned 20O00 900 gallons the countys wine production of last season. and 4O,OOO,OOO gallons of Algerian wine. It is being for the the army. The poilu" must have his wine
 This may surprise many persons who have followed the prohibition Europe since the started regard France having gone dry But it's neces- sary to distinction which the French themselves make. They have barred alcoholic liquors. But that they it does include wheat least, the light wines of their own country. They have merely abolished strong drinks such absinthe whisky and brandy. The wines that they consume habitually in
 liberal quantities very small percentage alcohol the French still persuaded after all the abstinence talk, that those wines good for them
 The principle has really been followed in the other belligerent countries Russia whose prohibition measures been regarded the drastic of ali prohibited the of wine and beer. The emi- nation of vodka has amounted virtual banishment of alcoholic liquors merely because the Russians not accustomed lighter beverages England has not and probably will prohibit the of wine; but there little difference little wine is drunk England England restricting beerdrinking but the English is much heavier and stronger than that of most other countries. Germany, while suppressing brandy, whisky has not forbidden the drinking of Rhine wine the light German beers.
 It's American practice to lump all sorts of drinks together in indiscriminae approval condemnation. Thus is commonly held that there only two alter natives far the American alcohol problem is con cerned-either absolute freedom of the liquor traffic. absolute prohibition If the American people had accustomed themselves drinking light wine instead of whisky gin and rum, not only would the of alcohol have been vastly less but there might have been demand for prohibition.
