ADMIRALTY
TIM SEAR HAS WROUGHT MANY
RADICAL CHANGES.
Some Interacting Details on the Head-
quarters Organization of the
Greta Silent. Service.
In no department of the British
Government have four years of war
wrouvlet more dramatic changes than
at the Admiralty, whoso ancient,
blade-we•ttthered (runt now conceals a
veritable mining city of shiny, tin -
roofed huts.
Back of the old Admirnity front, a
front of the most venerable beauty,
there are huts on the roofs of the
three other sides of the rectangle of
Admiralty buildings, huts filling the
quadrangle within, acres of huts along
the Mall which slants from Trafalgar
Square to Buckingham Palace past
the hack of the Admiralty rec-
tangle, and even the pelicans on
the lake hnve been dispossessed, their
lake drained away, and its bottom
concreted to make the fonndetion of a
but whose occupants are known at the
Admiralty as "the lake dwellers."
Even the old houses adjoining the
original Admiralty buildings have
been taken over as rapidly as its war
needs demanded more, and ever more,
space,
The Admiralty, where the brawn of
the Royal Navy finds its brain, now
employs (1,400 persons. When war
broke out, it was getting along very
nicely with 1,020, but nowadays the
total of its women alone is more than
that; number—some 2,000.
Within the original Admiralty
buildings, the demand for more work-
ing room has caused even some of
those quarters most sacred to British
tradition: of the seas, to be invaded
by typists. The First Lord has mov-
ed nut of his luxurious, but ancient
apartments alongside the Admirulty,
and the department which organizes
certain questions dealing with the
German submarines has moved in. His
state -rooms with their fine white -and -
gold decorations, and his dining -rooms
lined with fishing and hunting tro-
phies, are given over to secretaries
and typists.,.
Where Nelson Ruled.
Lovers of tradition, however, will
still find on the first floor up the mag-
nificent Board Room, which still
serves, as in Admiral's clay, for the
meetings of the Lords Commissioners.
Here tradition still reigt a supreme.
Between the portraits of Admiral Nel-
son and King George IV., looking se-
renely down from opposite sides of
the room, is the long mahogany table
carved out in a semi -circular form at
one end to allow, tradition says, for
the corpulence of a former First Lord,
nround which gather the First Lord,
the five Sea Lords, and the four Civil
Lords, who constitute the Board of
Admiralty.
The most instantly striking feature
of the great old room is its monument -
el chimney -piece, surmounted by a
massive, carved -oak frame, in which
every nautical appliance is depicted,
intermingled with groups of fishing
children, and centred with a very
complicated compass card, whose
needle was connected to a weather-
cock mounted on the highest chimney
of the Admiralty buildings, enabling
the Lords of the Admiralty (who are
still, as they have been for centuries,
the lords of the seven seas) to know
even during their deliberations the
speed and direction of the winds. Be-
neath it, on the ledge of the chimney -
piece, are still the two long sticks
mounted with golden apples, used by
the beadles to make a way for my
Lords the Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty.
It is rumored that plans have been
drawn up for a new Admiralty build-
ing, and it is not improbable that, af-
ter peace is signed, work will be com-
menced on a structure to supplant the
present beautiful old building.
A BOAT WITHOUT A CREW.
treed on Belgian Coast to Destroy
Shipping.
One of the most uncanny inventions
used in this warp.as been the German
electrically -controlled motor boat. It
is controlled ley mien on the shore, be-
ing attached to twenty miles of fine
electric cable, working from a drum,
and can travel at thirty miles an hour.
It contains no men, and its bows are
loaded with a great amount of high
explosive, ready to detonate or contact
with any object. This has been used
by the Germans on the Belgian coast,

which they want to destroy they start
the boat off from the shore, and send
a seaplane with it at the same time.
The seaplane sends wireless messages
giving steering directions to the oper-
ators, who, by manipulating their ap-
paratus, control the course of the
'boat, and ships twenty miles nett to
sea are chased, its it were, by a head-
less man—by an empty boat with an
apparent brain of its own, and loaded
with a toerifie cargo of destruction.
It is not a pleasant sensation,
Wherever the ship turns, the motor-
boat turns, too. All guns are turned
on it. The seaplane above controls
the boat beneath. It is a duel between
the airman's brain and the gunner's
skill. Who can strike first?

Frequently the mud is so deep that
mechanical traction is helpless. In
many cases no wheeled carriages of
any kind can move. In such cases
pack animals have to be used.
So well are these conditions recog-
nized that, in spite of the tremendous
weights of heavy artillery material
and the slowness and difficulty of
moving them by horse traction, it is
considered that only half the heavy
batteries should have mechanical trac-
tion.
An army must still have animals
for all its cavalry, the usefulness of
which is far from disappearing; it
must have horses for all its light
field artillery, half its heavy field ar-
tillery, and all its regimental and di-
visional supply trains.
Incidentally, every regiment of in-
fantry must have several hundred
horses and mules. The more the
question is examined, the more two
facts stand out. The first is that
certain work in modern warfare can
only be done by horses. The second
is that the number of horses needed Minaret's Liniment aurae niehtheria.

to be wasteful when sued] un abund-
ance of garden truck is unvailable.
As a matter of fact, their uses are
not exhausted when they have been
served as fresh greens, made into
salads ur boiled according to custom.
Much of the sugar and mineral con-
tent, so valuable and pleasant to the
taste, is generally last in cooking be-
cause women do not study ways and
means to conserve it. None of the
elements should be wasted. For in-
stance, carrots, corn, peas, beets, are
rich in sugar and the water in which
they are cooked should be saved for
soap. Spinach sheeuid always be
cooked in its own juice and every
spoonful saved. Onion water may be
u .•d for gravies and soups.
Delicious scup is made ley siramer-
ing potatoes "diced" with skins left
on, peas, onions and seasonings. A
thick puree which is eombined with u
thin rream sauce is made of this com-

uncooked corn has been cut may be
used to advantage in making soup.
