STRIKES IN BERLIN
Decrease in Bread Ration Causes
Much Distress in German Capital

Decrease in Bread Ration Causes
Much Distress in German Capital.
Amsterdam, April 17.-Advices re-
ceived here from Berlin say that strik-
es were DECLARED in greater Berlin
yesterday among a portion of the
metal, wood and transport industries.
Other industries, including large mu-
milton factories, and the general busi-
ness of the city have not been affect
ed by the isolated strikes. Tram
way traffic in Berlin is normal.
Berlin, April 17.-In the face Of
reports of possible strikes yesterday
the Vorwaerts prints significant
warning as follows:
"Internal disturbances in Germany
at this moment would be calculated
deeply to disturb socialistic peace
work. The vain hope that Germany
in few months might see occur
rences similar to those in Russia
might again postpone the end Of the
war, which now seems so near, ana
again cost hundreds of thousands OF
lives in the battlefield. Whoever has
reason or conscience therefore will
especially ask what will be the effa,t
Of what he does or fails to do today"
London, April IA Reuter- dis
patch from Berlin says that various
meetings of workmen, when were at
tended also by large numbers Of wo-
men, were held in Berlin on Monday
and discussed the question Of the food
supply. Afterward the workers
marched in procession to the center
of the city, past the castle and along

Order is commercially solvent, having
a reserve fund Of approximately So
100000. It has paid and is paying
every claim.
"New members are being added
every month, and the order is in ex-
cellent condition. 1t is also actuarilly
solvent, in order to comply with the
laws of thirty-six states in which the
Royal Arcanum does business. The
rates of assessment last year were in
creased, and, according to the state
ments of the actuaries themselves, the
order was 100 per cent solvent. When
the rates of assessment were increas-
ed a number of the members were dis
gruntled, especially in Massachusetts,
Doubtless, the present action is
due to the activity of dissatisfied
members, who, without foundation in
fact and without any notice to the SUI
preme secretary, has prevailed upon
a Massachusetts court to grant the
order of receivership. The general
counsel is now in Boston and hopes
to have the receivership appointment
vacated in a short while. 1t is felt
that the members of the order in
Richmond and throughout the state
entertain no fear as to the outcome.

AReANUh IS SOLVENT.
So Declares Past, Supreme Regent,
Discussing Receiversbip Of Order.
in Richmond.

A petition for vacation of the ap-
pointment of receiver for the su-
preme council of the Royal Arcanum
was refused by Judge Aldrich in the
Federal district court in Boston yes
terday. Henry C. Virgins, of Rome,
N. Y, general counsel for the su-
preme council, had asked that the in
junction restraining the supreme OF
ficers from carrying on the business
of the order and the appointment Of
Thomas j. Boynton, of Everett, as
receiver, which were made last Sat-
nrday, be set aside on the ground
that the order was solvent. Judge
Aldrich, after dismissing the petit
ton, suggested that counsel agree to
a decree making the receivership per-
manent and to an appeal by the or
ganization. Pending the appeal, the
receiver would not be authorized to
act, he said After conference of
counsel it was announced that all
parties had virtually agreed to fol-
low the courts suggestion.
Statements issued yesterday by
Richmond officials of the Grand Coun-
ell of the Royal Arcanum of Virginia
explained the situation arising from
the unexpected order issued by a
court in Boston, Mass. appointing a
receiver to take charge of the fnan-
cial, affairs of the national council,
and dispelled all fear as to any serl-
Gus outcome. A telegram received by
Deputy Supreme Regent A. D. jack
SON, national representative for Vir-
ginia, from Supreme Regent Samuel
M. Hoge, of Mount, Vernon, N. Y,
read as follows:
appointment of receiver was with
out citation, or notice to US and cer-
tainly without justification. We will
move promptly and effectively to have
the receivership vacated. The order
being solvent, with all claims prompt
ly paid and a surplus of $4,0OO,O0O,
we have nothing to fear"
Following the receipt Of the tele-
gram from Supreme Regent Hoge,
the following statement was Issued
by the Rev. F. T. McFaden, past SUI
preme regent Of the national council
"In view of the fact that the news
has gone forth that the Royal Area

Modarn preadnauahta.

Beyond all doubt modern dread
naughts represent the highest level of
controlled strength that the human
race has yet seen. The fact that 25,000
tons or more of metal can be driven
through water at the speed of an ex-
press train while its big guns hurl
shells weighing three quarters of a
ton to a distance Of twenty miles Is a
miracle in mechanism.
During the evolution of the warship
to Its present state of efficiency marine
engineers have been faced with the
problem Of protecting vital parts of the
vessel from the ever increasing hitting
power Of large shells. In other words.
the fighting value depended upon its
ability to take as well as give hard
knocks. Some idea of the difficulty
may be gathered from the fact that a
fifteen inch shot strikes a blow at It's
maximum point Of speed capable OF
lifting $4,000 tons a foot from the
ground.-London Standard.

Swamp Lands.

The national chamber of commerce
declares that had not the hospital
corps OF the army definitely determin.
ed the status of the mosquito and thus
caused menacing swamp lands to be
drained 1t is an open question whether
the building Of the Panama canal
would have been possible.
In following up this work we find
that the United States In draining
breeding places Of the mosquito has
reclaimed thousands of acres Of land
and made them available for agricul
tural purposes. There are approx
matcly 1OO,O00.OOO acres of swamp
lands in the country where for years
the mosquito has held undisputed
sway, of which 75,OO0,OOO, or about
one-eighth Of the total area of the
country, can be reclaimed for the plow
share. The only value Of swamp land
lies IN It's possibility Of reclamation
otherwise ii Is sGgious liability as Q
