 TELLS 0F FLEET
 DURING HE WAR
Associated PreSS)

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Admiral Sir John Jellico, former commander in chief of the British Grand Fleet, is the author of a book which re- views, in detail, the activities of the British navy, during the first two years of the war.
 He says that the British fleet was seriously endangered by a su- periority of the German destroyer force and that it was quite possible for the enemy to have torpedoed many of the British ships by a more extended use of their destroyers and submarines, in this branch of naval warfare; and expresses great sur prise at the extreme cautiousness displayed by the, Germans. In the future, Sir John Jellico says, England must have a greater margin of superiority overSa possible enemy in all classes of vessels than she had in August, 1914.
 In referring to the battle of Jut- land, the admiral says that the Brit ish ships warded off torpedo at tacks by turning in line of battle four times during the course of the engagement, despite thick wealth CT, and attacking the Germans on the port bow.
 The British fleet, by reason of the additions made to it since the outbreak of hostilities, was prepared for any eventuality during the last year, according to Admiral Jellico.

Caruso Is at His Best In
His Latest Victor Record

Though THE Chimes of San
Giusto" is virtually a street song
such as any Italian might hum as he
walks the sunlit ways of an Italian
city, its essential gaiety( and spon-
taneous melody make it fully worthy
of the best efforts of the great Ca
ruso. 1t is song Of Italian rapture
over the re-conquest OF Trieste and
to hear this highly typical Italian
patriotic number as it is vividly sung
by Caruso on q new Victor record
which is among the new list of Sep
tember offerings, is to fully appre-
ciate the joy of victory which has
come after years of suffering. !

to Canning Season and
Strikes - Sales
Restricted.

Omaha jobbers assert that there is
a shortage Of sugar and that this
city will have to contend with a
limited supply for near1y 80 days.
Retailers are restricting their su-
gar sales to small quantities, Is
cents worth to a customer at one
time being the usual amount.
p Mayor Smith announced that he
has requested the police department
to make a thorough investigation of
the local sugar situation, to deter
mine whether there is any boarding.
The manager of Paxton, Gal
lagher & Co.'S sugar department
yesterday made this statement on
the situation: 1--WE have no sugar
on hand at this time and have many
orders ahead. There is a sugar
shortage in Omaha and one of the
reasons is during July many people
bought twice their normal amounts,
owing to the canning season.
The seaboard strikes have serious
ly affected the transportation of su-
gar. 1t is only a question of getting
the sugar hauled to Omaha"
The mayors investigation of su-
gar is in connection with his "high
cost of living PROBE" which thus far
has been accompanied by several
local advances in the prices of sta
Piles.
Telegraphic information received
yesterday from Chicago states that
federal officers are investigating in
formation that Chicago sugar hoard
ers are endeavoring to distribute
much of their surplus stocks to
Omaha, Kansas City, Sioux City
and other cities. believing that Off
cials in the western cities would be
too busy with other food probe mat
ters to notice this movement of
sugar.
Local federal officials have been
advised to check up the Omaha su-
gar situation.

other phase of the tragedy she was

fears.
"But the thing that frightens me
