READING TO
EXPEDITE ALL
WAR EFFORTS
Will Unite and Direct Brit
ish Activities on This
Side Of Atlantic.

London, Jan. 8.-Viscount North
cliffe, head Of the British mission to
the United States in London, in a
statement last night, regarding tho
appointment of Earl Reading as Brit
ish high commissioner in the United
States, said:
The nation is indebted to Earl
Reading for taking up the tremen-
dous task Of representing the war
cabinet, the British war mission to
the United States, the treasury, the
ministry of munitions, the air board
and in fact all British interests in
the United States at a time when in
ter-dependeAce Of the United States
and the United Kingdom, Of each 9th
er's war efforts has assumed a scale
little imagined by the public. Tha
fort has been impaired in the past
by the need of one controlling head
Of all British affairs in the United
States. Precious weeks have been
wasted in correspondence and equal-
ly precious hours in cabling.
From the embassy at Washing.
ton, Earl Reading will be In touch
by private telegraph wires with all
departments of the mission in New
instructions to the cabinet, but
doubtless he has been given the same
full authority to act promptly and
on his own judgment as he possessed
during his last momentous visit to the
United States and Canada.
The diplomatic and financial as
poets of his mission are only part OF
It,. He will be in charge Of an enQr-
nous organization. While I was in
New York. the purchasing department.
alone celebrated its fifty t~housandth
cable.
The daily difficulties Of Lord
Readings task will be mitigated by
the great good will extended to him
by the government and people Of tho
United States and by the president
himself.
The task Of supervising the war
mission in London, which I willingly
accepted, is growing daily with the
constant arrival of heads of the
American government department
and others requiring information and
assistance. We have found it neces-
sary to keep Crewe House open night
and day, w days in the week in
order that there may be no delay in
our communications with the United
StateS.'

Mahommedan Tartar
Wives Must Make The
Face Covering Adequate

Petrograd, Jan. s.-The Mahom-
medan Tartar men of Tchistopol dis
trict, province of Kazan, have ordered
their wives n daughters each to
sew half 9, square foot Of extra ma
terial to the handkerchief with which
they v their heads. The women
long 6 ceased to veil, but when
meeting unknown men they took a
tab Of the bow formed by tying hand
kerchiefs beneath the chin, and held
the tab before the face in place of a
veil. Unluckily as the handkerehiefs
with the passing of time grew smaller,
the act became only a symbol. To

fathers are insisting on bigger hand
