Allies Had Accurate
knowledge Of Movements
Enemy Submarines

London, Nov. 29.-(Corre spondence of
the Associated Press. -Allied methods
of gaining information about the move
ments of the submarines during the war
never will be divulged fully, but the ac-
curacy of the daily reports has proved
one Of the surprising features of the
war. Few submarines left their bases
unknown to the allied fleet command
ers. In addition, the numbers of the
vessels, the duration of their cruises
and the locality in which they were or
dered to operate were known in nearly
every case.
Such information usually was known
within day Of the time the submarine
left. 1t was transmitted to allied wire
less stations which had means Of check
ms it up to certain extent. Wireless
operators at sea and ashore heard the
submarines reporting ir code to Ger
many every night and their positions
were learned by a system Of reckon
ing the wave length. This was done so
accurately that the submarine could be
definitely located as close as a mile

Storm Delays

New York. Dec. 1.-THE army au-
thorities here announced today they

can wounded troops. reported size

was not IN distress.
1t is believed by the military AL
thorities that the Comforts wireless
apparatus may have been put out Of
commission by the storm. The ship
is four days overdue. Army officers
Oh phasized that other incoming VS.
sells had been similarly delayed by
storm conditions. Many ships arr

the hospital ship had been in distress
she would have been able to signal

Britain Leans to Decimal System.

The movement In England looking
coward the adoption Of the decimal
system for currency, which has the
backing Of the Associated Chambers OF
Commerce Of the United Kingdom, Is
gaining ground. The London Statist
states that the association has resolved
to press the matter upon the attention
Of the government and to urge the In

is proposed to retain the sovereign as
standard value Of a thousand mills, the
half sovereign 500 mills, the four shil-
ling piece 200 mills, the two-shilling
piece or form 100 mills, the half
form, commonly known as the shilling,
80 mills, and the sixpence rs mills. or
subsidiary coinage 1t Is recommended
to coin ten-mill pieces and fve-mill
pieces. Below these it Is suggested
that four-mill, three-mill and two-mill
piece also be coined, and II found de-
sirable a coin representing one mill.
AS the farthing is so little used 1t 1s
not regarded as likely that anything
below the value Of half penny will be
coined.

by well-ordered course Of instruction
which permits not only class instruc-
ton but also allows the boys to do
their own laboratory work by keeping
q few sheep at home on their own &C
count.
Combining study Of stock judging to
purebred animals may furnish a good
foundation for the training Of show
room Judge, says the writer Of the pub
lication, but 1t does not give the train
ing needed by many farmers in the
corn belt and other territory adjacent
to the large markets where feeder
sheep are purchased and fattened. A
knowledge Of types Of purebreds grown
in the community is helpful, but it is
important for the farmer to know the
classifications and demands Of the mar
ket buyers. This knowledge can be
given to the pupils only by studying
market classes and grades. In each
community instruction which will be
helpful in meeting the practical prob
lens common to the particular form
of the industry practiced in the COM
munity should be given. In connec-
ton with this study visits to packing
houses and stock yards conducted by
the instructor may be made very prof.
liable features Of the study, 1t Is SAID.

The Kitchen In War Time.

The private kitchen has got to go
1t is scarcely possible to doubt that
now. With gas and fuel at their pres
ent prices, and likely to mount stead
lily higher. the great majority. as winter
advances, will certainly be driven to
living in one room. The economy eff
fected by that simple measure will be
enormous, and 1t entails no very &C.
rious hardship, given q satisfactory ar
rangement of the cooking problem.
That problem could be practically
solved tomorrow by the voluntary sur
render, even in a very limited degree,
of the domestic isolation in which the
British family lives. If every two
households agree to dine together only
1t would be more than half solved. 1t
is q matter in which the merits or
voluntary system over any compulsory
arrangement are more obvious even
than usual. But If the public contin-
ues to set its face obstinately against
It. the compulsion will certainly come

Absorbent Cotton Twice Used.

Through the ingenuity Of a French
chemist who was struck by the fact
that In the military hospitals Of Paris
alone about 400 pounds Of absorbent
cotton was used daily, process has
been developed which makes 1t posi-
BILE to use soiled cotton second time.
The first step is the removal OF all
grease by boiling ten or twelve hours
in a soda solution, or by treating II
under pressure for three hours In a
sealed container filled with the same
solution. After this the cotton is thor
oughly washed in a machine and all
the moisture removed by placing 1t In
a high-speed centrifugal drier. Drying
is followed by bleaching with hypo-
chlorine Of lime and second washing
and drying. Finally the purified pro-
duct is carded, packed and again ster-
tlized.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Eeod-Aftef the War.

Whatever other blessings peace may
bring it will not bring instant relief to
the masses who are now distressed BY
food shortage and its natural conse-
Quence, high prices. There will be as
many mouths to feed when the armies
are demobilized as there are now. 1t
is true that the fare Of the soldiers in
most European countries is more lib
eral than that Of the civil population,
but no statesman will take comfort in
the prospect Of masses Of disbanded
soldiers reduced to the level Of civil
undernourishment. And besides the
civil populations that are now endur-
ing semi.starvation uncomplainingly,
recognizing that no relief can be ex-
pected while the energies Of their gov
eminent are engrossed by war, will be
far less patient when peace returns.
More food, not less, will be required
in peace.-The New Republic.
