LONDON. March 1. - Postmaster
General Illingsworth predicts that
England will have difficulty in obtain
ing food until next August, but after
that, he said there would be an im
provement. which would be steady and i
continuous, for the shipbuilding posi- i
tion was impioving very rapidly and
was very nearly, though not quite,
equal to the losses the cnuntr> was i
s’ittering from submarines.
“lit fore ver\ long,’ he added, “our
efforts alone would have ..vetake*
the position, and our tonnage would
1 <* increasing. Besides, American
shipbuilding is beginning to be felt
and in the course of the next month
(»• two the output of American and
British shipping will he considerably
more than the submarines are sink
ing. Our position is very much bet
t»*r than that of Germany, where ’hi
people are almost on the brink of I
starvation.”

% An automatic clock-work torpedo for
chasing and destroying U-boats has
been invented by Rev. Thomas J.
Glynn of Beaver Falls, Pa. The flying
fish torpedo will loop the loop and dip
the dip under sea. The wings and fins
are used as diving rudders and are
controlled by clock work. The side
wings or rudders give buoyancy and
support to the torpedo. These rise
and flap like the wings of a bird or the
flying fish, and make the torpedo rise
or dive by a transom lever working
automatically within the torpedo. The
torpedo Is propelled by a gasoline mo
tor and will run for hours.

SURGICAL DRESSINGS
By Amelia Josephine Burr
Interminable folds of gauze
' or those whom we shall never see.
Remember when your lingers pause,
That every drop o ' Llood to sta.n
I his whiteness, falls for you an1 me.
Part of the price that keeps us free
To serve our own, that keeps us clean
1* rom shame that other women know.
Oh saviors we have never seen,
Forgive us that we are so slow!
God—if that blood should cry in vain
And we have let our moment go!
