United States
Taking up naval radio development,
Admiral Tay lor shows that through tn
hew nigh power plant at Annapolis and
the station built by the navy IN France
and nearing completion, provision has
been made which would have kept the
United States government in touch with
its forces in Europe constantly even II
every submarine cable had been cut.
The radio communication system has been
extended vastly, 81 additional main sta
tions having been built during the year.
Striking achievements are noted IN
development of raaio outfits for naval
aircraft. Commtu ication from machines
in flight to shore stations is now possible
at n distance Of 300 miles the report says,
while the land station can communicate
with n machine in air 80 miles away.
Through the radio telephone, the air
craft can talk to stations 60 miles away
and receive verbal instructions from sta
ton IL miles distant. Both. systems

were supplemented by six repair ships
which achieved remarkable results in
repairing vessels at sea.
The report makes the first official an
noucement regarding development OF
the submarine detection devices and shows
that American equipment for this purpose
has been placed abroad both British and

Paseino of London Landmark.

Another fine old London landmark,
St. Olave's church, in Southwark, is
to be closed. 1t derives its name from
Olaf. the Christian Viking of whom
Longfellow sings in stirring strain,
writes a London correspondent. But
England possesses churches with Dan
ish associations of Il different kind.
When these pagan sea rovers invaded
England and were caught, the ancient
English used piously to tlay them and
nail their sE ms to their church doors.
In the College Of Surgeons are three
grim relics IF the sort, one taken from
Il church :J Hadstocll, Essex; sec
ond from Copford in the same county,
and third from the north door of
Worcester cathedral.

The people are desperate and
would give anything for peace, but
they are fed with tales OF great vic
tories and promised from day TO day
that they will win out. They are

NV father was an American citi-
zen. So is my mother My older
brother. Herman, who lives here in
PHILADELPHIA now, was born in Mem

born in London, England. My faith

| moving picture films and doing well
| when the war broke out. He died IN
1915 and the business went to
| pieces. That left my mother, my SIS
| ter Bertha, Albert and myself alone
| in Germany. We had little money
| and both Albert and myself got jobs
| because we speak German f1uently,
| and men are scarce. At first it was
! not so bad, but after while they
| began to abuse all Americans.
| We were insulted on all sides.
We had to report to the police twice
/ day. We had to be in by o'clock
| at night. We could not leave the
suburb in which we lived without
permission.
Finally they grabbed my brother,
said he was a German, and had to
fight. This was about a year ago.
He refused, saving he was an Ameri-
lean citizen. They kept him in jail
a while. then they let him out. He
got a job, but was soon arrested
again They played cat and mouse
with him, arresting him. holding him
a while, then letting him go, only to
| pinch him again a week or so later.
Finally they fined him 300 marks
(S75) for refusing OF fight. If he
had not had the money he would
have had to serve sixty days in Jail,
at the rate of five marks day.

Conditions in Germany are mn
nitelv worse in every way than the
world at large supposes, according TO
two Young American citizens VINO
have lust reached their brothers
home in Philadelphia after trying tor
over a year to escape from the grip
of the Kaiser.
Thanks to the efforts of Congress
man George S. Graham, OF Philadel-
phia. and of the Spanish Minister IN
Berlin, who is looking after Ameri-
can interests, they did manage TO get
away in the end. They arrived mere
yesterday.
They are Albert Levin, twenty
wears old and Eugene Levin, who is
seventeen. Their brother is Herman
A. Levin, 1921 Norfolk street. Phil
adelphia.
Food riots by the score have oc-
CURED in every part OF German!
they said. There have been hum
dreds of riots in Berlin alone, OF
which the outside world has never
learned. Women have mobbed bak-
ers' shops and provision stores, bro
ken windows and made off with all
the food they could snatch. They
have been charged by mounted po-
lice, ridden down, sabred and shot.
They have been rushed by troops
with machine guns, but so desperate
were they, and SO determined to ob-
tain food that in many instances doz-
ems were killed before the others
would give up and scatter to their
homes
In the end the Government Food
Controller issued an order that no
foodstuffs of any kind should De
shown in windows so the people
would not be tempted to raid the
shops. In addition a policeman was
assigned to guard the larger provl-
sion stores and prevent more than
fifteen or twenty persons from enter
ing at the same time.
1.-THE food card system gave barely
enough to keep life in ones body,
continued Eugene. you could gel
potatoes one week and meat the
next, but you could not get both the
same week. You could not get any
butter at all, at least you could not
buy it openly You got only a slab
of oleomargarine. about as big as
ffty-cent piece, every other day:
You could not get milk for love
or money 1t is saved for the SICK
the wounded soldiers and the babies
Real butter is only sold on the
SLY, as they sell whisky in the prohl-
bition States over here. 1t is yer
boten' at the stores Of course there
is much dealing in food cards and
many forged cards are for sale. Al
times we became so hungry we tooE
a chance on these forged cards, the

caught.
