WOULD HONOR
DESTROYER MEN
Believes Bravery of Park
er's Men Merits a
Recognition
SAVE SURVIVORS
OF THE GLENART
Plunged Overheard to Take
Victims Off Wreck
age

London, March li.-Sir j. Fortoscu
Flannery, member for the Maldon di
vision of Essex, announced yesterda,
morning that he would call the attention
of the first lord of the admiralty in tn
House of Commons to the remarkable
heroism and seamanship displayed by
the American crew of the destroye
Parker, in rescuing nine survivors, in
GLIDING the unconscious navigation Off
Ger, of the hospital ship Glenart Castle
sunk in the Bristol channel late in Feb
ruary.
The member said he would suggest
that the admiralty suitably recognize
the skill of the navigator of the Parker
and the galantry of the eight American
sailors who jumped into the sea and
swan TO the rescue of survivors on RATS
and wreckage.
The Glenart Castle sank at o'clock
on the morning of Feb. 26. The destroy
err although far distant, picked up a
wireless message and hurried to the
scene, where she searched the choppy sea
for survivors.
The first one was sighted at | o'clock
in the afternoon--a lone man on a raft.
In these submarine infested waters il
was impossible for the destroyer to halt
and launch boats. She threw line to
the survivor, but he was so weak that
he became entangled in the line, which
was carried sstern of the destroyer, and
severely cut by her propelers. He man
aged, however to climb back on the raft.
The destroyer circled the scene and as it
passed the # again Quartermaster j.
c. Ole jumped overheard, succeeded in
swimming to the raft and brought the
man back to the destroyer. He was
fireman, jesse White of Southampton.
He died later on board the destroyer,
which continued her search and in the
course of the afternoon sighted three
more groups of survivors clinging to
RATS and wreckage, all of whom were
similarly rescued.
In congratulating the crew of the de-
stroyer Vice Admiral Sims, commander
of the American naval forces in the war
zone, telegraphed;
"The work done in wintry seas and
gales by all the destroyers' crews has
been inspiring, but none more so than
the Parker's."
One of the survivors, who was rescued
late in the afternoon, said he sighted
while he was struggling in |
the water. The U-boat passed within
few yards of him. There were two Ger
mans on her deck. He hailed her and |
asked for help, but the Germans paid no
attention to him.
In all nine survivors were rescued by |
he Parker, of whom one died on board |
he destroyer. All landed in Wales.
The Americans who jumped into the
water in the course of these rescues, in
addition to Quartermaster Ole were:
r. +. Hoses, boatswain's mate; David
Goldman, machinist's mate; Jerry Quinn,
oxswain; f. w, Beeghley, yeoman; w.
". Matthews, ships cook; j. Newman,
7. I. Troue, seaman.

ilenart Castle, on which it is estimated
SO persons lost their lives, announced

someone here in America has kept wheat

someone here in America has kept wheat
/ less days.
And what does this mean?
IL means first of all that no wheat
cereals are served at breakfast.
Do not serve rolls, mullins, shot cakes,
or any kind of bread containing wheat
flour for this entire day. Most of the
so.called war breads or liberty breads
have one-half or one-third wheat -four.
These are meant for other days. Ii you
are going TO keep wheatless days wholly,
you must serve no bread on these days
with grain of wheat in it.
Can this be doneY
Yes, it can and is being done to-day in
patriotic homes from coast to coast.
And this is the way the housekeepers are
managing il.
For breakfast and lunch or supper
they are serving one of the many corn,
oatmeal, rice or rye hot breads that re-
quire no wheat whatsoever.
The two following recipes fill the bill
and require very little time for prepare
ton:
Oatmeal Biscuits-One cup oatmeal,
one cup rye flour, two tablespoons fat,
four tablespoons baking powder, liquid,
one teaspoon salt. Mix the fat and flour,
which has been sifted with the baking
powder and salt Add enough liquid to
make soft dough. Cut with a Toured
biscuit cutter. Bake about 10 minutes.
Cornmeal Dodger-Two cups corn
meal, one teaspoon salt, two teaspoons
fat, one and three-fourths cups boiling
water Pour the boiling water over the
other materials. Beat well. When cool,
form into thin cakes and bake 30 min
utes in hot oven. Makes IA biscuits.
For dinner on the wheatless days do
not serve any bread. Its place may be
amply filled y serving both rice and
potatoes for this meal Do not serve
either spaghetti or macaroni on this
lay, for these are both wheat products.
If any pastry is made, make the crusts
Of corn meal or the following oatmeal
recipe:
Oatmeal Crust-Two cups finely
ground oatmeal, one cup boiling water,
one teaspoon fat. Scald the oatmeal
with the water. Add fat and mix thor
oughly. Roll very thin, and line small
Die or tart tins with the mixture Bake
II hot oven.
There are plenty of wheatless des-
'erts for both lunch or dinner such as
,elatine jellies with fruit and nuts. ce-
n dried fruits, oatmeal or barley -four
buildings, cornmeal tarts, etc, ETC., etc.
Fhe list lengthens out indefinitely.
Is there any reason, then, for not keep
ne the wheatless Monday and Wednes-
ay wholly in your home?

OLD FISHERIES
DISPUTE SETTLED
UNTIL VAR ENDS
Agreement Between Canada and the
United States Affects Boston
and Gloucester,

Ottawa, March 1.-THE long standing
fisheries dispute between Canada and the
United States has been settled at least
for the duration of the war, it is an
nounced here by C. c. Ballantyne, min.
lister of marine and naval service.
Under the new agreement, which was
reached by the joint commission appoint
ed by the two governments to consider
the controversy, United States fishing
vessels are to be permitted to enter Ca.
madam ports directly from the various
fishing grounds and, without requiring IL
| censes, may sell their catches at those
ports and there procure fresh supplies
and clear again for the fishing grounds.
This arrangement is reciprocal, giving
Canadian fishing vessels similar privi-
leges at United States ports
II is understood here that the Ameri-
can department of commerce by author
ity of President Wilson, has issued in
structions to American customs officers
to permit Canadian fishing vessels to
enter United States ports under the
terms of the new pact.
The agreement is particularly benefi-
eial to the fishermen of the Newfound-
land banks, as it will enable Canadian
vessels to carry great catches into Gou-
cester and Boston.
The settlement breaks down all bar
riers which for many years have mill
tated against unlimited production of
sea foods at fishing grounds where both
American and Canadian vessels are wont
to make catches. The irritating delays
to these ships of one country at the !
ports of the other will be eliminated.
The Canadian government, authorized |
by order in council under the war meas |
ures act, has issued instructions to the |
various port authorities in accordance
with the settlement. As there is duty I
in Canada on fish, such duty will have to
be paid when the catches are sold in the ,
Canadian ports.

PROFIT PERCENTAGE CUT.
Government Reduces Emolument in Con.
tracts for Year 1918.

Washington, March IA reduced
scale of profit percentages has been put
into effect in all government construc.
ton contracts for 1918, the contracts
averaging per cent better from the gov
ernment's standpoint than the contracts
of last year. approximately 100000
900 worth of construction will be done
for the war department this year under
the direction of the emergency construc-
ton division of the war industries board.
The program includes building six
great terminal and storage areas at At
lantic coast ports, 81 interior or accu-
mutation storage areas, and perhaps six
gas and powder plants in addition to the
two big powder factories already author
lied at Nashville and at Charleston, w.
Va.
The old maximum of 10 per cent profit
on contracts running up to 100000 has
been replaced by per cent in the new
contracts, which follow finely graded
scale, of 61s per cent between 100000
and 100000, 8 per cent between 100000
and 81 100000, to a minimum of 90 per
cent on contracts of Sl0,OO0,OOO. The
