LONDON. May 12.-"Barbed-wire
disease" is British army slang for
nervous breakdown. Turkish offlcials
that have heard the expression trans
late 1t literally. Wherefore the Turk
ish government in ratifying an
agreement with the British for an
exchange Of prisoners. stipulated that
plain wire should be substituted for
barbed wire around prison camps for
Turks in English territory.
The Turks. 1t Is said. consented to
the exchange because there was one
important prisoner they wanted to
get back. The swap was negotiated
on the basis Of 1000 English prisoners
for 1900 Turks.

REFUSES TO PERMIT HER

Official Rules Against Miss Boyle
Of Voters League-Latter
Claims Point Scored.
Correspondent. Of tn. Associated Press.

Correspondents Of the Associated Press.
KEIGHLEY. England.-The first
woman candidate for parliament. Miss
Nina Boyle Of the voters league, has
been refused q nomination on the
ground that each Of the two nomina-
tion papers handed in by her contain
ed the name Of a man whose name
does not appear on the Keighley reg
lister.
Previously Miss Boyle appeared be-,
fore the returning officer, who stated
he had received instructios from the
sheriff to admit her nomination with
out question provided it was properly
signed. SO that her rejection appears
to be tho result only Of q strangers
name appearing on the paper.
Miss Boyle said she considered that
a moral triumph" had been achieved
for women. as she had been informed
that her nomination ordinarily would
have been accepted.
while I am disappointed" she
continued, that a fluke Of this kind
has prevented actual nomination, 1t
matters little. for II accepted I had
decided to withdraw. My purpose in
coming to Keighley was simply to
test our right to nomination. My test
has been successful.
UNLESS parliament decided the
question of women entering the house
Of commons. it will mean that many
women will secure nominations. and,
II elected. there will be an illimitable
number Of election petitions against
their return, bringing confusion in Its
train"
The result Of her experience. Miss
Boyle asserted. would be Of great en-
couragement to all women's political
organizations throughout tho coun-
try.

FOOD PROBLEM IN Japan;

May Have Influenced Nation From
Taking Military Action Against
Germans in Serbia.
Correspondence. of tn. Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
TOXIC. April 20.-One of the reasons
which may have exerted considerable
influence in restraining Japan from
taking military action to prevent the
Germans from overrunning Siberia
was the extremely serious food prob
lem here. The price Of rice has risen
by leaps and bounds. and all other
staple foodstuffs have followed close
ly. This is in part explicable as due
to increased cost Of transportation
and to the abnormally dry and cold
winter which seriously cut down the
supply of green vegetables, but 1t is
generally understood that increased
cost Of living in Japan is due to
profiteering.
Against any attempt on the part of
the government to stop this the great
seiyukai party seems to stand firm.
1t has its backing in large capitalistic
interests which are definitely opposed
to any government mobilization Of in
dustry or even food supplies.

Received With Enthusiasm.

These soldiers have been received
with enthusiasm by many Italian
cities. On the morning of May "a
the division was solemnly presented
with q Czecho-Slovak national flag
on the steps Of the Capitoline monu-
ment by the Czecho-Slovak national
council. With an immense crowd
looking on a battalion of soldiers
raised their caps on their hayonets
,fnd kneeling intoned their national
hymn.
Ambassador Page spoke to them
on the following day and. with his
French colleague. Jules Simon, passed
!. them In review. They were popular
in Rome and in Milan. A fortnight
I ago. when a few Of these soldiers
were passing in gallery they were
, recognised and given an ovation by
the crowd. 1t was the same in
Brescia and Verona.
Though proud Of having deserted
from the Austro-Hungarian army.
the men stoutly assert that they are
not deserters. since they did not fee
from their national army and never
were prisoners. since they have always
been among friends. 1t Is a nice bit of
reasoning.

Fish Supply Planned For.

Neither England. France nor Ger
many, however. after the war will
adjust its efforts to provide the peo-
pie with animal food only by in
creased meat production. All three
are planning measures for increasing
supplies of fish. and the newest con-
trivances for drying and freeing will
be used.
The Earl of Dunraven has recently
proposed that England import great
quantities of frozen fish from New
foundland. France is making extern
sive preparations to increase its
coastal fish catch and keep 1t in cold
storage depots. Germany, where,
during the war. fish has come into
much greater use. will adopt sea fish,
fng to a much larger extent. Germany
is building many more steam trawl-
ers and she will have a large feet of
them after the war, for use in Eu-
ropes richest fishing ground, the
North sea. It is hoped that this
fet will free her from dependence on
fish imports.

AFTER-WAR MENU
Government Already Building
TraMers in Anticipation
Of Meat Shortage.
BY BASSETT DIGBY.
Correspondence of The Sunday Star
and Chicago Daily News.

STOCKHOLM. Sweden, May 5.-The
interesting fact that Germany rs re-
lying largely on North sea fish to pro-
vide food for her people for two or
three years after the war, and to that
end Is building a great fleet of steam
trawlers, is divulged in a report OF
the Stockholm meat and fish storage
authorities.
The committees report is in the ma
ture of a broad survey of present
meat conditions in Europe and future
prospects,, To very great extent. it
says, the war has diminished meat
1914, meat shortages were not tnfre-
quent. The diminished stock of cat
tie must be husbanded for breeding.
which means that for couple of
years or SO after peace there will be
less meat available than normally for
mand abroad for importing.
Will Compete for Meat Elsewhere.
Arrangements for mass imports
chiefly in the form Of frozen car
cases. says the committee. have been
planned or actually begun by several
Of the warning nations. Competition
in the markets that hitherto have
supplied Europe and the United States
with frozen meat-Australia and
South America, especially the Argen-
tine-will be especially keen. for it
follows that these sources will sell
their export surplus chiefly to the
nations that formerly were their best
customers-that Is to say. England
and the United States.
The Latin nations of Europe are
planning accordingly. France is max
ing efforts to have her colonies. espe-
cially in northern Africa, become i'm
portant meat producers for the
motherland. Before the war France
knew little Of frozen meat, but now
has learned to value 1t.
Germany has long stood aloof from
importing frozen meat. mainly as a
consequence of her agricultural
policy. but war has had its effect on
this view.

Slav Regiments Watched.

Only the Germans and Magyars and
occasionally the Poles remain un-
shaken in their loyalty to the COM
mand which has been obliged to be on
constant watch and to redouble the
precautions against desertions. Regi-
ments in which the Slav elements
predomtnate are kept constantly on
the move. This moving of troops from
position to position involves an i'm
mense amount of work and makes
those in command savage. especially
rs the news from Vienna and Prague
Is anything but reassuring.
Recently. therefore. a reward was
offered Of 500 and a long leave to
any Austrian soldier who takes alive

The fate of such is undoubtedly that

that we should hang ten Germans.
ten Austrians and ten Magyars.
Thereafter not another Czecho-

'sI Am a Czech Brother"

Tho voice comes nearer 'I am a

The sentry cannot refuse. a dark
figure stands beside him and a hand

published in Paris in the Czech Ian
guage to the sentry. and has told him

1s possible and where 1t is impossible
For desertion to the enemy force is
nowhere SO easy as it might seem.

tinued activity Of former Austro- Hun

dinary annoyance and worse. for the
Austrian commanders. The@ czecho-
Slovaks still in the ranks become

Slovenes, who previously fought will

ROME, Italy, May 31.-You are in the

are rising about you through the mid
night darkness. You are facing south,
not north. for this is an Austrian trench.
Sixty yards southwark. just across a
tiny valley, are the Italian trenches The
area between the trenches is largely en-
numbered by wire entanglements and
boulders At one spot in the Austrian
entanglements the wires are raised.
Beyond is a tiny rock where sentinel
crouches. The stars shine hazily, but
the darkness is intense.
Only the faraway rumble of guns dis
turbs the night and the sentinel grows
sleepier. Then suddenly he starts
awake. Had he dreamed Of home?
He listens. and this time there is no
mistake. Some one is calling gently IN
Czech-his language Brothers! Bo-
hemian brothers," It is hardly more
than q whisper. The sentinel thinks
quickly. TT is an Italian ruse-" He
