 Mrs. Charles Enc Wood. whose funeral will be conducted al Sims bury tomorrow, was born on Janu- ary %, 1S42, and therefore attained the age of SS years.
 She was the daughter of the late Amos E. Enc of Simsbury and New York, who had built and owned the Fifth avenue hotel at 23rd street, which was so far uptown in those days that the people called it Emo $ Folly" but it at once became tho most popular hotel in New York and was the headquarters for national conventions Of all kinds for many years.
 Her grandmother was the late Mary Richard Enc. who lived 9S years, 4o of which were spent in her home on Washington street, this city where the Elks club now stands.
 Mrs. Wood maintained the asces- tral home in SimsDury for q sum r1er residence and for % years maintained a winter residence at 1919 Rhode Island avenue, Wash ington. D. C., where death came. Next door was the home Of her sis ter, Mrs. Pinchot, where her nephew, Clifford Pinchot, lived while chief forester in the Roosevelt and Taft administrations. Later, Mir. Pincho ot became governor of Pennsylvania.
 Mrs Wood was widely known for her many benefactions. At her sum- mer house in Simsbury it was her custom to maintain open house on Saturday afternoons for all who cared to visit her, In late years, she had planned to build a large com- munity house for Simsbury. q pro- feet which will be carried out by her executors.
 Fifteen years ago Mrs. Wood was active in the campaign for woman suffrage. In Washington she was greatly interested in the Walter Reed hospital and had donated d bus for the patients.
 She was a member Of tho Daugh- ters of the American Revolution. the Colonial Danes, the Chevy Chase and Washington Riding and Hunt clubs and the Colony club Of New York.
 Notwithstanding her age, Mrs. Wood was active up to her final illness. Her residence in Washington houses one of the most extensive libraries in the city. It includes many greatly prized frs. editions in various languages.
 As evidence of her stamina and courage she took an airplane flight over Washington when she was S2 years old. Her husband, New York business man, died in 1899.

 The dominating fact in Britain's world outlook is the security Of en- pre-.
 This is something more funda- mental than even the political fl- ture of what IS possibly the fora most world power today. The livei- hood of 45.O00,0OO people, packed by modern industry into an area equal to that of the state of Oregon.
 Not greed for empire but fear for bread, we are told, sums up the British case

 January cargoes come from the Pacific coast; those Of February and March, from Argentina Then. half way round the globe, grain flows from Australia in April from India in May, June and July. Amer iCan shipments of winter grain move in July and August-spring wheat in September and October. Russian grain, when there is an eI- port surplus, pours through the Black sea in tho fall. Canadian wheat again completes the cycle in November
 Altogether, the United Kingdom takes 6,0o0,oO0 bushels of wheat out of the total world imports of about roo 100000.
 The starvation threat Of the Ger man submarine blockade is still an admiralty nightmare. "Junked ships and cargoes rotting at the bottom ot the sea may not shock like the ruin ed villages of France and Belgium, ' the British foreign office bluntly told the allies in 1923. but they arc l equally material damage caused by 1 German aggression and represent wealth."

 Of Worlds Business All in all, possibly one-third Of Britain's agricultural, mining anI industrial production is exported. Naturally, Britain is the worlds foremost international trader. She does approximately onc-siNth of the worlds gross turnover, now roundiy estimated at 65 billions of dollars. This business abroad, annually in excess Of 10 billions of dollars, rep resents Y per cent of the worlds movement of imports and 13 per cent of the exports. From the stand point of security, this has rested down to the present moment upon British sea power.
