two boats were transported S00O
miles by sea and then $500 miles BY
land before they reached the scene
Of their objective. They were dragged
long distances through the bush and
over a range Of mountains. sometimes
in a temperature Of 100 degrees. The
first encounter with the enemy was
when the german armed motor boat
Kingani sailed into the bay where the
British ships lay. her commander IN

her 80 miles until at $500 yards the
Fiji got the range with high explosive

sank. Her ensign was picked up. and
was the first enemy ensign captured

seaplane flew over and reused her
with a few bombs. The Germans then
filled her with concrete and sank her.

The British war bread" has been
indicated and endorsed by a commit
tee Of scientists, after a series Of
tests conducted in the laboratories sof
Cambridge. Glasgow and London uni
versities and in a number Of factories
and hospitals.
The committee finds that bread
composed Of whole wheat flour mixed
with 20 percent Of other cereals is
not only suited TO all ages and diges-
tiOns, but also gives a higher per
centage OF energy.
The loaves used in the experiments
were baked from flour milled under

make The experiments complete. and
every result was worked out in a

tests were applied TO group Of 20

period Of two months and they were

tients. all Of whom had more or less
impaired digestion Most Of the pa
tients gained in weight during the
period they were under observation.

The report Of the committee says:
THE main fact established is that
the human body can make better use
Of the parts Of the wheat grain which
have hitherto been discarded than the
pigs and poultry TO which these rich
and nutrient byprOducts Of milling
have been given in the past The
country has gained enormously in
food and energy from the compulsory
inclusion in the loaf Of these by
products The gain can be expressed
in definite terms as an increase Of
