 The letter. In explaining the ch9m- ber's reasons for not submitting com parative price lists, requested by Mir.

 While Lawrence prices for certain articles arc higher than In some other cities" the letter says, there are a number of instances where articles in other cities arc higher than in Lawr- ence. This is inevitable under present unstable conditions with manufactur- ers' prfces advancing daily and the rotai1or forced to advance his prices with every new invoice of goods.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Dissatis- fled with the progress made toward solution of the peace treaty tanele, senators of both political parties moved today to bring greater pressure on their party leaders for a compro- mise to insure ratification promptly On the reassembling of congress early in January.
 The mild reservation group of re- publicans. notifying their party leader, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, that in their opinion the time had come to part company with the irreconcilable foes of the treaty. declared that un- less compromise negotiations got more whole -hearted support from the re- publican side they were preparing to act independently for an sagreemen. with the democrats.
 Among the democrats the movement was not so well defined, but criticism oi the course of President Wilson and Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the acting democratic leader, reached pro portions which some predicted soon would be given tangible form. One prominent democratic senator was said to have told the republicans that would join a movement to ratify tie treaty at once on the best terms they could get.
 The result was a scrambled situa- ton in both party organisations, which the leaders seemed confident they could straighten out, but which the compromise advocates predicted would greatly strengthen the movement for 8 bipartisan conference of those de- termined to ratify the treaty. even at the expense of material concessions on both sides:
 "No compromiss" ovsrpiayed

 Tt is by no means enough that an officer of the navy should be cap- able mariner. He must be that, of course. but also a great deal more. He should be, as well, a gentleman of lib- eral education, refined manner, pune tilious courtesy and the incest sense of personal honor.
 "He should not only be able to ex- press himself clearly and with force fE his own language. both with tongue and pen. but he should be versed in French and Spanish.
 He should be the soul of tact, pa- tience and justice. firmness and charity. No meritorous attack of a subordinate should escape his atten- ton or be left to pass without it's re- ward. if even the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely. he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate, though, at the same time. he should be quick and unfail- ing to distinguish error from malice, thoughtIessness from incompetency and we'll meant shortcomings from needless or stupid blunder.

GERMAN LINERS TO BE GIVEN BRITAIN
 0N WILSON ORDER
lRepubIIean A. P. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The con- troversy between the shipping board and British officials oveg possession of seven German liners uged to bring back American troops and now held idle in New York harbor, ended ab- ruptly today with the announcement that President Wilson had ordered the vessels turned over to Great Britain. The transfer will be made without de- lay and the ships assigned to passen- ger service on British 1ines-
 No explanation of the order was made beyond the statement that the state department had found there was no warrant for holding the ships now that the object for which they were as signed by the inter-allied shipping commission to American use-the re- turn of the American army - was accomplished. The eighth ship of the group, the Imperator, has already been turned over to the British and is be- ing operated by the Cunard line.
 The unexpected action of the ship ping board last September in refusing to deliver the Imperator to the Brit ish was understood to be connected with efforts to induce the return to the Standard oil company of 12 tank steamers formerly under the German flag but now held in British custody in the Firth of Forth. by order of the supreme council. The state depart ment took the position, however. that these were separate questions and must be dealt with separately, the United States carrying out its obli- gation to turn the German ships over to the British.
 Under the Versailles treaty, final de- cision as to the titles of all craft req- uisitioned from German harbors after the armistice rests with the repara- ton committee The present dispute, both as to the passenger vessels and to the tankers, 1t was asserted, can not be considered as definitely set- -stied, the present disposition being only temporary.

keenly and more frequently than any
other, says The National Geographic

famines on record was that of 1000,
with a death toll of 100000 peasants.
Cats. dogs and rats were eaten, and
evan the strong overcame the weak.
Human flesh was sold in the markets.
Three Russian famineS of recent
date were among the most severe in
historv-in 1891. 1906 and 1911. Dur
ing the ten years following the first
of these, the government allotted
nearly Sl2j. 100000 for relief. but the
sums were not always judiciOusly OK
pended. In 1906 the government gave
40 pounds of flour a month to all per-
sons under eighteen years old and over
ffty-nine. Those between these ages
received no allowance, and tn" Older
and younger sharded their pittance
