YANKEE FILMS SHOWN
 TO ENLIGHTEN DUTCH

THE HAGUE.-Under the aus pces of the American Committee of Public Information, the first ex- entitled, "America's Answer, was given here recently to a select audi ence composed of chief officers of the general staff of the Dutch army and navy, invited by Ameri- can military and naval attaches.
 The film consisted of eight reels showing the American fleet in Euro pean waters, transport and hospital services and other aspects of Americas achievements in the war.
 A feature of interest proved to be the series of pictures of Ameri- can aviation. The whole display was greeted with warm enthusiasm while views showing President Will son and General Pershing drew spontaneous cheers.
 The musical accompaniment was periodically American and included famous songs of the Civil and Spanish American wars as well as Southern melodies, many of which were heard for the first time. The film will be shown throughout Holland

MYRTLE STEDMAN WILL
 STAR TOMORROW NIGHT

The Oliver MOrosco feature Wild Olive, with Myrtle Stedman in the title role, will be the attraction at the Coliseum tomorrow night, the show being in the nature of a mid-week special at popular prices. The screen production is taken from the novel of the same name by Basil King, and under the clever dramatization by Oliver Morosco and Elmer Harris, the story has lost none of its fascination.
 The story is woven about a moun- tain girl, who saves an innocent man from imprisonment on a false charge first by hiding him in her mountain shack and later by the noble sacrifice of her love. The story eliminates in dramatic courtroom scene, during which the innocence of the hero is established.

SPEEDING THE MAILS

within very reasonable period we shall find all principal mail liners fitted with seap!ancs," asserts b. H. Bernard, editor of the Mer- chant Service Review. "Consider- able time will be saved in the tran sit of mails. A liner leaving New York with urgent and important letters will be able to discharge them by seaplanc 300 to 400 miles west of the Irish coast; within a few hours they can be delivered in London. thus effecting saving of "A hours.
 "The same procedure can be car ried out by vessel bound to New York-weather of course being an important factor-for in fine and settled weather well-cquipped sea plane could travel at an enormous speed over considerable distance. It is quite within the bounds of possibility that letters posted in London can be delivered in New York within four days"
 Mr. Bernard thinks the service will at first be subsidized by the governments of, the two countries
 Similarly, he says letters could be expedited from South America to the European continent by sea planes leaving the liners 300 miles off Lisbon or Gibraltar.

 About third of the cases with which Home Service deals in Flu rope are those of people in ireland who are dependents of Amer can soldiers.
 To deal with these cases, Ameri- can Red Cross committees were es- tablished in Londonderry, Belfast and Dublin, with "visitors' at Queenstown and Cork

R|CE SHORTAGE HIS ISLANDERS:
 SITUATION BAD

SAN JUAN, P. R.-Many towns on the island are without single bag of rice and the shortage in many localities has brought abou. d condition described by those m a position to know as bordering on famine.
 This food shortage is adding very greatly to the seriousness of the in fluenza epidemic and many deaths are attributed not so much to the disease itself as to the corplica- tions brought about by laek of food.
 Shipments of rice from New Orleans and other Gulf ports vn.ch are now from four to six weeks weeks overdue, probably will bring some relief but in the meantime the island authorities anticipate much suffering and hardship that d. pres cnt they seem powerless to prevent.
 According to Albert E. zee. fed eral food commissioner and chair man of the Porto Rico ")od iom- mission. the question now is wholly one of transportation and the m- mission has considered the local situation so serious that it has l. r'ged upon the United States Shipping Board the necessity of immediate relief. Help has been promised by the Shipping Board but so far the local food commission has not been advised of the sailing of any ships bringing rice.
 For the first time in year and a half the food commission has no reserve stock of rice on hand, all of it's stock having been released as needed and in anticipation of the arrival of the new crop. In order to provide the Red Cross with rice needed for the relief of earthquake sufferers the commission was forced to pick up small lots of rice here and there
 Many sugar centrals in the is land employing large quantities of labor have been securing the island for rice at any price in order to provide food for the sick on thclr plantations. In many instances they have not been able to buy a single bag.
 Four ships, each one of which was to have brought rice to Porto Rico. have been delayed in sailing by strikes or other causes or else have been rushed to Europe with : food supplies which are badly needed there. Whether other ships to take their place will be directed here promptly is a question that is giv. ing many people familiar with the
 food situation on the island yer, serious concern.
 The average consumption of rice on the island is in the neighborhoot of 125,O00 bags per month. Not
 to exceed 25,000 bags of new cror rice have so far been delivered ir Porto Rico.

THE CANADIAN PLAN

Tn financial resources of Vest ern Canada are being placed at the disposal of farmers in the prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche- wan and Alberta. where grain farm ing will more than ever be the chief industry when the eighty thousand soldiers of the three provinces re- turn from overseas.
 Mortgage companies and chart cred banks never were more able to finance stable industries in this stretch of country, and about $100,- 000,000 being available for imme- diate use through such institutions. Besides, the federal and provincial governments are making extensive plans for extending finanical aid.
 The immense possibilities of the prairies as a food-growing country have been carefully considered by government officials. Not only will vast tracts be made available to the soldiers on homestead basis, but the federal and provincial gov ernments will give financial assist ance in cquipping the new farms with proper machinery Long term loans will be provided through rural credits systems.
 Extension of manufactures. as well as agriculture. in Western Canada is anticipated. One of the first questions taken up by the Provincial conference which has been in progress at Ottawa was the transfer of control of natural resources of the prairie provinces from federal provincial govern ments. It is urged that the trans fer, for years an unsettled matter would make 1t possible for indi vidual provinces to develop mining and other industries on their owr in iative.
