ALLIES ARRANGE
TO FEED GERMANY
Supply to Last Until Next Harvest Will
be Turned Over in Pay
ment for Ships.

PARIS, Saturday, March S.-The plans
adopted by the supreme war council to-
night under which the negotiations with
the German authorities regarding the
turning over of the German merchant
ships will be resumed after their recent
interruption at Spa, provide for the hold
ing of the sessions of the negotators at
Brussels. The allied delegates will leave
Paris next Wednesday for the Belgian
capital and the first session in the re-
sumption of the negotiations will prob
ably be held on Thursday in one of the
government palaces there.
The plans determined upon by the
council, as already stated, provide for the
taking over OF the German ships in re-
turn for food supply for Germany until
the next harvest. The chief difficulty
thus far has been over the manner of pay
ment for the food supplies, but the next
proposals are expected to meet the form
er objections. 1t is understood that the
payments will come from three sources
first in the form of products, such as
coal and potash: second, from credits
which Germany has in neutral countries
which have thus far been unavailable, be-
cause of the financial blockade, and third.
| from foreign securities held by Germany.
| 1t is estimated that these three sources
will readily yield about $350,000,O00,
which is the sum required to pay for
food relief to an extent considered ade-
quate to carry tie Germans until the time
of their harvest.
From the nature of the exchanges
during the negotiations at Spa. the allied
delegates have reason to expect that tho
new proposals will be acceptable to the
Germans, and the belief generally prevail:
that an adjustment will be reached under
which German ships will soon becom,
available for the moving homeward o
American troops.
One of the main influences in bringin,
about the decision of the supreme eoun
ell was said to be letter read by Pre-
mier1 Lloyd George from a British gen
eral. setting forth the extreme serious
ness of the food conditions in Germany

ELECTRICITY IN WAR.
It's Mysterious Current Contributes
Largely to Wars Success.

Electricity has played no unmportant
part in the winning of the war Only
on the battlefield has the work of the
electrical engineer not been apparent
poison gas, liquid fire, shrapnel, explosive
shell, machine guns, rifle bullets, bayo-
nets and men that fought like demons
showed no sign of the presence of cleo
tricity. Yet We're it not for electricity
and mans control of its use, these forces
of victory had not been.
Think back to the gunsmith of a CEN
fury ago. Could he have armed an army
of 100000 men in Is mouths? With
100000 men withdrawn from produc-
ton, could any army have been equipped !?
Electrically driven machine tools made
possible what human sweat and muscle
never could have accomplished
Unheard of tons of steel were re-
quired, and those best able to Judge have
said that without electric drive to speed
production in the mills we should have
fallen short.

phone and telegraph guided the gunner
far to the rear who would otherwise have
been blind. The commander watched
through his wire and wireless network
the progress of his fighting units miles
away, kept them correlated into one vast
machine that acted as whole, not as a
multitude of unrelated parts.
Billions and billions of electric sparks
daily ignited the cylinder charges of moi
tor trucks, lorries, airplanes, motorcars,
motorcycles and the victorious tanks.
Without electricity for ignition these en-
gines would have been unheard of.
Electricity enabled the ships at sea
with their precious freight of American

to avoid the hidden dangers that men

About Bathing.

Frequent bathing is conducive to
good health as well as comfort. 1t
keeps the pores of the skin clear, SO
that they can perform their proper
function of clearing the system,
through the skin, of excretions which
are not discharged through the mouth,
hose, kidneys or ailmentary canal.
Rinse with cold water. A brisk rub
after the bath promotes circulation of

PARIS, March 10.-The mandates Tor
administration OF the German colonies
and the territories of Asiatic Tur-
key will not be apportioned among the
spowers by the peace conference until
President Wilson returns, according to
The Temps. Prevailing opinion in con-
ference circles, the newspaper declares,
is that the United States is ready to
accept a mandate for Armenia. 1T is
expected that Smyrna will be allotted
to Greece The mandate for Syria, in
Guiding Damascus and Alexandria, is
expected to go to France and that for
Mesopotamia and Palestine TO Great
Britain.
1t appears likely, continues the ar
ticle, that Great Britain will be given
the smandateg for German East Africa
and that France will receive one fol-
the greater part of Kamerun and Togo
land. Southeast Africa, according to
this plan, will be joined to the union of
South Africa.
In the Pacific it seems likely, the
newspaper declares, that Japan will
keep the German islands north of the
equator and Australia all the German
islands south of the equator with the
exception of German Samoa, which
would he administered by New Zealand.
The supreme council has appointed a
commission to investigate the question
of the German cables, a proposal con-
corning which was submitted to the
council yesterday by Secretary Lansing
The members of the commission are
James Brown Scott of United States,
A. Pierce Higgins of Great Britain,
Henri Fromageot of France, Signor Tos-

Temps, will decide whether the cables
can be treated as prizes of war, and if
so, to whom they are TO be distributed
The commission viii also examine if the
contracts by which the cables were laid
remain valid and to what degree.
