AUSTRALIA HAS MUCH WHEAT.
From 100000 to 10000 Tons to
Go Out on American Ships,

New York, Sept. GOWN. Arthur
Holman. once mechanic, then la
Dor leader, then an editor and at
present Prime Minister Of New South
Wales, Australia, is in this city OF
his way back to the antipodes after
a view Of the fighting fronts in Eu-
rope. He said interesting things last
night on war topics in the Hotel Cla-
ridge. AS to Americas entrance into
the conflict, he said:
"There was a jubilation in Austria
liza which is almost Impossible to ex-
press. We have always regarded
England as our mother, of course;
but we have felt toward America as
an elder brother. Now, there is
certain feeling Of sentiment about
helping ones mother, but there Is a
very great feeling Of satisfaction
about seeing ones husky big brother
come up and get into the row."
Australia, Mr.. Holman said, has
plenty of foodstuffs and other sup
plies. which she is ready to send to
England and to our other allies as
soon as she gets the ships to send
them in. And these ships, he added,
are now being built through a
friendly agreement in American
yards.
Much Wheat to Spare.
eve have the surplusage of three
wheat crops in hand ready to ship in
addition to having plenty for our
own needs" the Australian Premier
explained. "The total amount of
wheat we can spare, l should Judge,
is between 100000 and 1000, 900
tons. Our farmers have all this po-
tential wealth in the form Of grain
and are unable to move it toward its
best and most natural market on ac-
count of the lack of vessels. But the
bankers are lending the farmers all
the money they need on an equitable
basis, with the grain as collateral,
and so conditions are prosperous"

 The mystery of the shipment has never been solved, but one theory is that the arms were for the MeXicans The fact that Count von Bernstorff, for mer German ambassador to the Uni ted States, once filed a claim for the shipment but never pressed it or offer ed to pay the charges. is believed by many to indicate that the shipment originally came from Germany
 Another report was that the ship ment was intended for India, where Germany expected to arm the natives to war or the British None of the ru- mors ever have been substantiated, however.

DESPISED DOGFISH BECOMES DELICIOUS UNDER MISS PENNELL'S
 ILLUSTRATIONS
Daughter Of MT. T. J. PenneI, Auditor For the Northern Machine Works

Tn the University of Washington Daily, publication issued by the stud ents appears an article that is of vast interest not only from the instructions contained therein, but for the fact that the young lady who inspired the article is the daughter of MT. T. J. Pennel, the well known auditor for the Northern Machine Works in this city. The article written by Miss Dor othea Taylor follows:
 "The grayfish. Try it. It knocks the H. out of H. C. of L." declares a bulletin recently issued by the United States bureau of fisheries.
 In the home economies department of the university, Elizabeth Pennel, a graduate student and winner of Den. ny fellowship, is following the sugges- tion of the fisheries commission. She is concocting various savory dishes of grayfish in order to obtain palatable food as substitute for salmon.
 Until recently the grayfish was a plebeian dogfish, but for commercial reasons it received the alluring name The fish is white variety and is marked by it's almost total absence oi the ordinary fish flavor. It combines readily with other foods.
 A dainty grayfish salad grayfish baked, boiled, scalloped and grayfish chowder are some or Miss Pennell'f successful preparations. Members oi the United States fish commission were on the campus last week, exam ming and tasting the results of hel experiments.
