GOLFERS TO GIVE AMBULANCE.
Real Estate Board Will Provide Hos- pital Help in Tourney.

5
 New York, May 15.-An ambulance to do duty at the French front is to be provided by the golfing members of the Real Estate board. This was decided by the golf committee follow ing discussion of the advisability ot holding the annual tournament of the organization at Baltusrol today. The enthusiasts refused to countenance any cancellation but instead pledged themselves to raise $2,00O or moro with which to provide an ambulance immediately.
 There will be the usual prizes, which include four in each division. At first some of the members wanted to eliminate the prizes and turn over the money usually spent for the cups. etc.. to the Red Cross, but since the amount is only trivial the outfit finally de- cided that if any donation is to be made it shall be something worth while. Therefore the prizes remain and the ambulance Is to be the pay ment for one day of golf competition.
 The women's Metropolitan Golf as- sociation will stage its third one-day tournament of the year at Montclair today. r~-

BERNHARD RAPs NORWAY.
Claims Little Respect Is Shown Inn.
 perial German Empire.


 :. Copenhagen, via London, May 15.- George Bernhard, in his weekly ar ticle in the vossiche Zeitung, laments that lack of energy of the German minister to Christiania in enforcing respect for Germany and German in- stitutions in Norway. He cites as an example the prohibition by. the, Nor wegian authorities of a concert by Arthur Nikisc1, conductor of the Ber- lin Philharmonic society and former conductor of the Boston Symphony. Herr Bernhard demands that steps be taken to compel the neutral press ito keep within the bounds of inter national decency
 The editor selects Denmark as happy example of neutral country's correct attitude toward Germany. He says the German minister there. by dsp1aying the necessary plaanness of lane11a~a and decision, has made the relataons of Germany with Denmark really neutral and profitable.

GERMANY SHORT OF TUBERS

Discomfort Aroused in Various Parts
 of Empire Which Complains Against
 Discrimination in Distribution.
 Copenhagen, via Lcndon. May 15.-- The potato shortage in Germany is making itself felt in spite of assur- ances at the time the bread ration was reduced last .11onth that enough potatoes were on hand to permit d weekly per capita issue of five pounds until the next harvest
 The bureau of food control, by strenuous efforts, has been able to supply five pound ration in the Ber- lin and Westphalia industrial dis tricts where the labor crisis at the time of the reduction of the bread ration WIS particularly acute. Bitter complaints, however, are coming from various sections of the empire which feel that they are being slight ed.
 It is true that in accordance with the governments promise, the bread ration is not reduced where the five pound allowance of potatoes is no. furnished Every pouffd extra of flour applied for this purpose, how ever. upsets the governments scheme of distribution, which was based on the fact that the stock of grain in the empire is barely adequate, under re. duced rations. ito carry the popula- ton through until August 1.-the earliest possible date when flour from the new harvest is expected to be available"

TRY A HORSE PoRTERHousE

Think of buying all the fine meat cuts,
from roundsteak to porterhouse, at from
IS to Is cents a pound! It can be done;
1t is being done. There are Italians, Nor
wegians. Germans and Swiss in New
York who are paying no more than Is
cents a pound for the choicest steaks.
And they are getting meat which for
palatability and nutritive value is far
above most OF the beef tenderloins and
sirloins we consume at the prevailing
price of 81 and Sc cents a pound. It is
not beef that these wise foreigners are
eating, but horse meat.
The very mention of horsehesh is un-
pleasant-not because one out of a thou
sand knows what it tastes like. but be-
cause We love the horse and therefore
dislike to eat him. Yet the horse is per-
haps our. cleanest animal. remarks the
April Popular Science Monthly. He eats
clean food, lives in a clean environment,
and keeps himself clean. He is prac-
tically free from tuberculosis and many
other serious diseases to which our flesh
producing animals are subject. Not
withstanding- this. however. we continue
to make beefsteak staple food product,
despite the exorbitant prices at which 1t
Is sold.

Inspired by the knowledge of the lack
of preventative measures of this kind,
Menotti Nanni. according to the Popular
Science Monthly, has devised a nonsink-
able vault which is not only large enough
to hold the purser's safe, but which also
provides ample storage space for regis
tered mail, gold bullion and valuables
owned by the passengers
Nanni plans to, install several of his
floating safes in a large, vertical cylindri-
cal steel casing placed in a well amid
ships, the top of the well being flush
with the upper deck and covered with a
loose-fitting, easily removed cap. The
safes are placed one on top of another,
the first, second and third-class passen-
gers each having a safe for their val
uables. The two lower safes serve as a
repository for registered mail and for the
most precious part of the ships cargo.
Ready access Is gained to the safes
through doors provided in both the outer
and inner castings at the various decks.
Thus the first-class passengers. for In

the safe at night and remove them in the
morning. OF course there would be a
guard in charge of each safe.
