.sorts of supplies go through to Hoi-
land..
The submarine war is no doubt help-
ing us in some - ways even though in
many others it is serious. It` mazy be
partially reducing our supplies be--
cause
e-cause neutrals are afraid to sail but
all our own vessels are running as per
schedule and the losses of tonnage aro
only very slightly greater than the
replaeemente.
But in the ineantiner
commerce tHolland and Scandinavia
is at a standstill and so exports to
Germany must be reduced or they win
soon be starving themselves. Besides,
we are perfecting measures to stop
and destroy the U-boats. Justas in
lem which the Germans overcame,
so now in 1917 we wil solve the prob-
lem of their destruction. Irrfact there
is every reason for the belief that at
the present time we are destrying"11-
boats faster than they are built. So
the losses may still be above normal
for two months or so but by the end of
that time when the surplus of U-boats
is gone the losses will return to nor-
Everyone is jubilant over Bagdad
With the reservation that it is hoped
the army can be maintained from this
new base. France is unqualifiedly op-
timistic over the success. In official
circles here there seems to be no
doubt that we can maintain our ad-
c antage.
The one position `where all are very
pessimistic is the Salonika front. This
is quite natural because every- one re-
members the failure in Gallipoli. 'i he
situation is very grave. It is -quite
unhealthy and enteric malaria is play-
ing havoc nth, the troops and there
is ever the fear that the Greeks may
taker them in the rear - while the U-
boats render the transportwion of
goods and troops precarious. -
Food problems here in England . are
beginning to assert themselves more
and more. First of course comes the
restriction ofmeat and bread order.
The nation is on its honor to con-
sume . not more than 21/2 pounds of
meat, 4 pounds of bread. and. - . pounds
of sugar per head per week. Many
are hondrably curtailing themselves
but mansetnore are waiting for com-
pulsion. - We have bacon for break-
fast, meatless lunch - and joint - for
dinner and find it no hardship at all
to live up to the requirements.: They
havt also fixed maximum • prices for
potatoes, tea, coffee, lard, butter and
cheese but it is problematical if such a
system will succeed. We must re-
member that it has partially failed in
Germany where the feeling of blind
obedience to law and order is much .
stronger than here. We are mudd-
ling along making a much better mud-
dle than in the arly part of the war
but the feeling is very strong that ev-
erything will come out all right before
the end. -
The morale of the troops is wonder-
ful. The navy is eager and the whole
nation at home is settling down - to a
grim determination to crush the enemy
or rather the militaristic spirit in the
enemy.
Will close for now, hoping you are
all well. With love. --

BABY'S O'` TABLETS
AN EXCELLENT REMEDY.
When the baby is ill --when he is
constipated, he has indigestion; colds,
simple fevers or any other of the
many minor ills of little ones—the
mother will find Baby's Own Tablets
an excellent remedy. They regulate
the stomach and bowels thus banish-

childhood. Concerning them. Mrs.
