record as whole is considered by sea-
men most creditable to the British

If the attack had occurred in day
light the whole ships company might
have escaped. But in the darkness of a
moonless night. with the ship rapidly
listing, so that some of the boats could
not be launched, while some were
smashed by the explosion, and with
many men aboard who had never been
on the ocean before, there were all the
possibilities of a general panic and
Wholesale drownings. AS 1t was, many
were rescued from the sea after hours

sufferings were intense. A number
succumbed after being taken aboard
the rescue boats; others after they had
been brought ashore.

PLAN AGREEMENTS FOR
EGG AND POULTRY TRADE
Big Dealers Appoint Committees to
Draft Plans After Hearing
With Food Experts.

After a two-day conference with rep
trade, it is expected by the food admin
istration that definite agreements reg
ulating the price and distribution of
these products. both fresh and storage,
will be worked out. More than thirty
of the big shipping and distributing in
terests were represented at the confer
ence. and after hearing the views of the
food administration experts they ap-
pointed two general committees to
draft the agreements. One committee
represents the egg and the other the
poultry trade. II the plan submitted
is acceptable to Food Administrator
Hoover it will be put in force as vol
untary measure and the necessity Of
compulsory regulations obviated.
Chief among the reforms desired by
nation of unnecessary handling and the
abolition of speculation, both of which
will have direct effect upon prices. A
sharp differentiation probably viii be
made between the distribution OF fresh

than a normal profit on the Individual

are regarded as belonging in an en-
tirely different category, and the profits
may be gagged on the seasonal business
rather than on separate transactions.

Main Problem Ships.

Contending that the main problem for
the allies Ii the maintenance of ocean
routes, the Chronicle remarks that no
relief for the allies in the air fighting
has yet come from America, while the
food shortage is pinching the allies in
Europe earlier than had been hoped.
These facts It ascribes not to a lack of
American effort, but to the shortage of
ships, and maintains that the shipbuild-
ing both here and in America lags very
much behind what is desirable. 1t adds:
'srhe American shipbuilding effort
seems still to remain further behind our
own than might have been hoped"
Tribute is paid to American energy in
raising and equipping a splendid Army.
but the Chronicle says that the only ur-
certainty Is how large a portion Of the
Army can be ferried across the Allan
lie.
The Daily Graphic thinks that the tor
pedoing Of the Tuscania shows that the
activity of the submarine constitutes a
serious obstacle to the transportation of
American troops and raises the question
OF whether the U-boats are being en-
abled to replenish their supplies by
pro-German conspirators in Ireland.
