the trench doughnut," as served by

AZ doughnuts for soldiers overseas.
Every housewife in the country who
knows how to make doughnuts will

BRYAN Is HOWLED
DOWN in TORONTO

TORONTO, March 5.-William Jen-
nings Bryan was refused hearing
when he appeared at Massey hall here
last night to address a prohibition
meeting under auspices of the Do
minion Alliance.
Returned soldiers caused the dis
turbance by shouting various cpl
thets.
What about the Lusitania? ?" they
also demanded in chorus.
The first disturbance came before
Mr.. Bryan's entry, when the chairman
told the audience they were to be
honored by listening to the fraternal
delegate of the Anti-Saloon League OF
Aerica, "one of the foremost citizens
of our ally"
The chairman refrained from men
tloning Mr.. Bryan's name as long as
lie could, but when it came out at
last, it was greeted by chorus of cat
calls and cries of 1--WE don't want him. .
The chairman appealed to the audi
ence. 1t was not good thing for the
city they were doing, he said, and "a
bad thing for the cause we represent. "

NORWEGIAN SHIPS
ARE NOT ATTACKED

CHRISTIANIA, March 5.-Vessels
sailing between America and Norway
outside the danger zone and not
touching British ports lately have not
been attacked by Germans probably
more in their, own interests than for
any special love of Norway. Ger
many for a long while has not been
able to send TO Norway and as
far as known has not promised to
Go So even if Norway refused to ac-
cept American conditions for food ex-
port to this country.
German vessels sailing to Norway
must have provisions, oil, and kero-
sene for the whole round trip and
will only in exceptional cases be al
lowed to get small quantities of Nor
wegian products.
Some great Norwegian factories
producing articles for export to Ger
many are run by German coal oil and
kerosene as are fishing vessels OBJ
tanning fish for export to Germany,
Norway at present receives from
Germany steel and iron for construc-
ton and is absolutely dependent on
Germany for the import of potassium
compound kainite which is used ex-
tensively for fertilizing.

FRUITFUL BRITISH
RECRU|T|NGGR0UND
OVER TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND
THOUSAND SUBJECTS OF KING
GEORGE HAVE ENLISTED IN
AMERICA SINCE JUNE.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Since the
establishment of the British and Can
adam recruiting mission in the Unit
ed States last June, with headquar-
tiers in this city, over 10000 British
ers and Canadians have actually en-
listed; $4,000 were rejected. A spec
ial drive has just been inaugurated
to recruit 10000 more from this coun-
try in the next two months.
AT first sight the drive seems I'M
necessary" said Brig.-Gen. w. A.
White, who has charge of the recruit
Ing. in view of the fact that
the draft recruiting convention is
about to be ratified between the
United States and Great Britain,
whereby all British subjects between
the ages of twenty and forty (both
inclusive) will be subject to draft into
the American army. But there are
approximately 10000 Britishers and
Canadians of American draft age in
tie United States today; these men
have actually registered their names
under the American draft. There are
st least 100000 more Britishers and
Canadians between the ages Of
thity-one and forty-one, so that is
he lowest estimate 100000 will be-
| Gene liable to draft into the Ameri-
can army when the convention is
ratified.
For two months after the singing
OF the convention these men will have
the opportunity of joining the British
OF Canadian army, and I intend to get
10000 volunteers during this period
| if it can be done. This is not because
Great Britain does nto want her sub
jects to go into the American army.
but because if these men wait to be
drafted it will necessarily be long
time before they get to France, and
they will merely take the place in the
draft of other men who would other
wise be drafted
in other words, there is no in
| crease to the Allied man power. If
they are taken today into the British
army as recruits each man becomes \
positive addition to the Allied man
power by being passed through the
British military machine, which has
been in existence over three years, and
can be turned out more rapidly as
trained soldiers"
