In the British navy OF Nelson's day
and earlier It was the prerogative Of
the : captain to enter the names Of
boys Of tender age in his, ships books
as midshiprnen. Naturally these In
fants did not appear on board for
some years. and in the meantime the
captain coud draw their pay, which
would amount to q considerable sum
by the end Of a commission.
This system was copied by certain
pursers. who entered real or imagin-
airy individuals. known as "purser's
dummies" on the pay sheets. and
would then appropriate the pay and
prize money credited on their be-
half. This practice grew to such an
alarming extent that the admiralty

MEAT RATION LOWERED.
British Food Controller Also Orders
Increase in Prices.

Owing to the demands made upon
British tonnage by military require
ments in the transportation of Ameri-
can troops, the British food controller
has ordered reduction of the fresh
meat ration from one pound to three
quarters of a pound weekly, as well
as an increase of four cents a pound
in the retail price of all meats.
The ration reduction was necessary,
according to information received by
the food administration, to prevent
depletion of homegrown stocks, as in
the past one-third of the meat supply
for the British Isles has been i'm
ported.
The increase in price is in accord

U-Boat Helpless Under Water.

Even if submarines are off this
port, they are practically helpless if
we can keep them under water. 1t is
only when they come to the surface
that they can launch their torpedoes
with full effect. Torpedoes fired when
the craft is under water may lack
direction to make them dangerous.
So that, after all, the problem for
the destroyers is to keep submarines
under water, as well as to destroy
them"

consisted of thirty-three enormous

WINTHROP STARVATION

A winter of starvation is a safe pre-

that it will be one of the worst win

The shortage of bread is largely
due to the governments shortsighted
policy in fixing low price for grain
which did not even cover the farmers
expenditure, let alone profit.
Refused to Comply With Decree.
The peasants refused to comply with
/ the decree to turn over all grain in
excess of a certain arbitrarily fixed
amount to the food committee, and
i when the latter were reinforced by a
detachment of armed 'fbread crusad-
ers'' the peasants gathered from sew

But even if the government price
were much higher the peasants would
i not willingly exchange their grain for
worthless money, of which they seem
to have much and which has no prac-

featured goods, which the government
| is unable to furnish, as most of the
factories are idle. for lack OF fuel and
