WITHOUT RESULT.
s A despatch from St. John's, N.F.,
says: Men from the steamer Terra
Nova, who boarded tjae- Red Cross
liner Florizel after word reached
shore that signals had been observed
on the ship, rapidly breaking up on
the rocks near Cape Race, reported
that there was no living person
aboard.
Every part of the vessel remaining
above water was searched and the
bodies of five men and one woman
were recovered. None, however, was,
identified. The body of an unidentified
woman was washed ashore on Wed-
nesday morning.
Advices to the Government authori-
ties that fisher folk had reported sig-
nals from survivors on the Florizel
caused the immediate -despatch of the
Terra Nova to the scene, although
agents of the Red Cross line declared
that all survivors had been taken off
by the rescue fleet which returned
here Monday with 44 persons, most of
them members of the crew.

URGENT REQUEST
COMES FOR _FOOD
Great Britain Wants All That
Carl. Be Spared, and
Quickly.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
"Every carload of wheat or flour and
bacon or frozen meat that Canada cart
get to the seaboard is badly wanted."
Such is the effect of a cabled mess-
age received from the British Minis-
try of Food by the Chairman of the
Canadian Food Board,
"Compulsory rationing of meat, but-
ter and fats came into force on Mon-
day throughout London and the home
counties., Fourteen million people are
new restricted to about 114 pounds of
meat, 4 ounces of butter or margar-
ine and IA pound of sugar per week.
By March 26 compulsory rationing of
these foodstuffs will be universal in
the United Kingdom. The congestion
,on the railways in the United States
continues to aggravate the already
serious situation. Every carload of
wheat or flour and becon or frozen
meat that Canada can get to 'the sea-
board is badly Wanted. _
"The Italian Goveimment Consmis-
sion states that the food -.situation
there is unchanged, but all the allied.
countries are naturally affected by
the decreased imports reaching them
from American ports."

"A dollar and a quarter apiece,

Heavy earthenware crocks used as

heat many times longer than metal
ones. Did you ever rice or cream
your mashed potatoes on the dot, only
to see them cool before the tardy
diners arrived?. Set them in a fire-
less cooker and they will serve millet
as when out of the pot.

ADVANCE
Government Making', Stronger
Resistance to Foe Invasion.
A despatch from London says: A
Petrograd despatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company under date of
February 27 says it is reported from
Luga that the German detachments,
which entered that town a day or two
ago, are leaving. The Russians, mov-
ing to meet them, havelurned towards
the main railway and occupied three"
small stations within 12 miles of
Pskov. Large Russian detachments
are concentrating near Pskov. The
railway men are forming partisan
detachments along' the line.
From Smolensk comes the report
that the Germans 'have met lvith
strong resistance within 16 versts
(10.7 miles) from Orsha, and were
forced to retire. The Germans have
been trying to cross the Beresina
River and consolidate the ground in
order to begin operations in the direc-
tion of Orsha and Gomel. Red
Guards concentrated at Kroupi sta-
tion prevented the Germans from
advancing in the direction of Orsha.
Sharing thesHonor.
In her life of Lord William Beres-
ford, Mrs. Stuart 'Menzies tells this
story of the generosity of that stout-
hearted nobleman,
At a regimental disuse]: given in his
honor shortly after he had won ' the
Victoria Cross lie WAS being carried
round the table an the shoulders of
his old "pals," when he espied in a
corner of the room a doctor wearing
the ribbon of the Victoria Cross. The
moment he could ,h'ce himself from
the affectionate attentions of his
friends he nistie a dive for the doctor,
and, hoisting him on his shoulders, re-
gardless of the man's embarrassed
protests, he ran round the room with
him while all present cheered lustily.
In the zenith or his pleasure he was
thinking of the other man, and wished
hitn to share in the applause and
cheers of the evening. With charac-
teristically quick percolation and sym-
pathy he bad guessed what memories
were stirring. in the old hero's heart,
