A despatch from Ottawa says:—A material advance in the price of flour in Canada is indicated in an announce- ment made here on behalf of Can- adian millers by George A. Macdon- ald, representing the Quaker Oats Company, and head of a delegation of representative millers which wait- ed on the Government to discuss the eerious nituation which Canadian mills ere fazing as a result of the ecti4 of the Canadian Wheat Board in continuing. the restriction in the price of flour on the Canadian market, and the lack of export markets for Canadian flour, The increase will be, aecessary to meet the increasing cost of manufacture, it is understood. The scarcity of millfeeds in Can- eda is directly traceable to the lack .of a market for flour and the conse- talent decrease in the volume of dom- estic milling, the millers tate.They have asked the Government to modai fy the regulations of the Wheat Board and to co-operate with the millers in inducing ioreigh buyers to take a reasonable proportion of Can- adian wheat as flour rather than as wheat. Vast quantities of flour are said to be available in the United States for export, and this complicates the Can- adian problem. It is said that more than 4,000 men have already been thrown out of employment by forced closing down of the mills, of which there are about 500 in Canada, Normals Clot Early to Supply Teachers • „ eaelal..teet. ea • e sns$, . s• AUCKLAND GEDDES Newly appointed British Ambassa- dor to the United States.

This soldier has been detained and wandering about Eng- land for a year and a half. He was shell shocked and does not know his name or where he belongs. All marks of identification are gone. He is be- ing sent to Canada in the hopes that something may lead to his identifita- tion. The Grampian docked on April Russia and Germany to Exchange Prisonert Berlin, April. 4. ---The negotiations between Russia and Germany as to an exchange of prisoners are virtually completed. The first steamship to bring back German prisoners will leave. shortly for Revel. .As a matter of fact, the question of exchange of Polish prisoners was settled quickly, and although it was ostensibly the aeason for the negotia- tions, Victor Koppe, the Bolshevist representative, has been diectiesing matters of a wider import. It is understood that the whole question of Rueeiait-German relations will be settled :icon. • U.S. Navy Estimates Exceed Britain's --- A despatch from London says:— His attention being called in the House of .Commons to the American naval estimates, 'Walter Hume Long, First Load of the Admiralty, entered into a. detailed,comparison.

RUINOUS FOOD PRICES IN RUSSIA Long Lines of Citizens Wait. ing For Daily Rations. A despatch from London says:—An 11) dication of conditions obtaining in Bolshevik Russia as the League of Nations investigating emirates will find them was contained in a review of the economic situation, in the ter- ritory controlled by the Soviet Just prifted in the London Times, The article, which was written by a staff correspondent, depicts long lines awaiting theirlood rations, with bread. selling at 450 rubles a pound and but- ter at 8,200 rubles a pound; of queues with the dead of the various cities, for even the cemeteries are "national- , ized" and the dead lie for days await- ing interment, "Prices are very high, but the pro- fits are low," the writer of the article says. These, for example, are some of the prices prevailing last week: Rubles. Bread, per pound 460 Flour, per pound 500 to 700 Beef 550 to 600 Pork 720 Salt Butter 2,600 to 3,200 Groats and meal 600 to 700 Normally the 'ruble is worth 51% cents, gold, now it is worth about 414, cents. "In, spite of these charges salaries are comparatively low, a typist get- ing 3,200 rubles a montlj for an eight hour day without rations. A hospital nurse gets 2,600 rubles a month and. army rations for a twelve hour day. Army rations in Petrograd consist of: 3/2 lb. horseflesh. 1 11), bread (fair quality). lb. (about) groats and small' quan- tities of sugar and fats daily. "Bread on civilian redone contains about 50 per cent. of beans and 10.15 per cent. bird seed (millet, canary and hemp), the rest being rye flour. "Under the system of the division of the population into categories, a person receiving rations. on !.,ard A (the' highest QUI for heavy manual labor) gets 11,12 pounds of such broo'± daily; sugar, horse meat and groats are doled out in small quantities at int4rhvealsliworking population—that is, every one except school children and. persons over 60 --work under truly terrible cenditiens, and the workshops taite'es.cold. There is also very little light, and no soap or washing fecal - "It is proposed to reopen the schools in the spring. They have been closed since October, owing to the fuel short- age. Free dining rooms for the pupils have been continued throughout the winter, but the food offered there is of such bad quality that even the dogs refuse to touch it except when starv- ing., This state of things in the school dining rooms is on a par with other Soviet a "reforms," where word and deed are .so diametrically opposed. "The closing .of the markets in these conditions means a terrible hardship for the population. It is not surpris- ing that the very rumor raised such a storm. of protest that the authorities have not yet risked enforcing the or- der. Only one market, indeed. has been closed, other—markets being sub - Reed only to periodical raids.. At the closing of the Alexandrovsky market, which may be described as the Cale- donian market of Petrograd, a free fight took place between troops and traders, when abont twenty were killed and wonwled."
