LONDON. Feb. 17.-With naval

plans completed to meet the sub- marine campaign which Germany will launch against her to-morrow, Britain awaited the issue to-day with all calmness, confident of her ability, not only to ward off German attacks, but also to establish a blockade of the German coast to prevent any food supplies from reaching Germany by watery _

Au admission made by. Admiral

Behnicke, of the German Marine De- partment, that Germany has not enough food to feed her population, since Britain cut oft' her supply, strengthened the determination ot' Britain to urge a relentless campaign against Germany.

helm will give his blessing to thc Ger- man submarines as they take to the sea on their mission oi’ “starving” out England.

The Kaiser will go to Cuxliayen, the

German naval base on Thursday, Feb. 18th, when Von Tirpitz' new policy ot' raiding British merchant traiilc is formally launched, and will urge his undersea terrors to wipe English mer- chantmen from the seas.

Despatclies from Berlin brought

this news to~day, ami added that thc announcement has created wild en- thusiasm there. The Berlin press spoke of the "christening" oi' Ger- inany's newest and most powerful submarine by the Emperor, and ex- pressed the hope that every man oi' their crews would feel himself to be embarking upon a most righteous cru- sade in defence of the 1~’u.therlnnd.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-King George is

setting an example ot' economy in war time to his subjects, much as Emperor Wilhelm is doing in Ger- many, M. Cedard, the head chef’ at Buckingham Palace, has agreed to ae- cept a 50 per cent. reduction in his salary during the war. ills 1|'-alary was $6,250 a year. »

The cooking at the Palace is now

of the plainest character. and ot' a kind that might be found in any fairly well-to-do house. it could be per- formed quite ctilcicntly by one oi’ the assistant cooks. Tho average daily cost of the royal dinner prior to_ the war was estimated at $4.65. The number of persons, excluding the King and Quoon and members of tho Royal l~‘amily. who dino at the Royal tablo is usually three.

There were twelve assistant inalc

cooks at tho Palace before thc war. Ol' those sovon enlisted. but the pros- cnt staff is still tar larger than is rc- quircd. V

Sir James Aikins will be appointed

A large number oi' \vituesscs will be

iexpressed in Ottawa political circles over the prompt manner in which the Government has acted in ordering au inquiry. lt is felt that the matter should be cleared up, as Canadian

manufacturers are at present .linger a cloud. and there is no doubt t_at Iiarge orders for shoes for the Allioo. which would have been placed in Canada, have been lost owing to the widespread notoriety given the trou- _ble over the Canadian shoes. l Three things will be particularly emphasised: First. were the specifica- tions stringent enough. and if not, ‘ why not? Second, were the specifica- tions lived up to by the manufac- turers? Third, why all the boots supplied were not inspected.

OTTAWA. Feb. 15.-Sir Robert Hor-

“telegram front Brockville. Ont., last

night stating that three aeroplanes had passed over Brockville at 10 p. m. flying in the direction of Ottawa. 'I‘he aeroplancs came from New York State over the St. Lawrence River.

(Joi. Percy Sherwood, chief' oi’ the

Dominion Police, had a telephone mes- sage from the (Thief of Police at Brockville who ini'ormed him that three or four aeroplanes had crossed the river St. Lawrence about 10 o'clock tonight from New York State and had passed over Brockville, trav- eiling in a northcasterly direction. pre- sumably towards Ottawa. lie said that one ot' the acroplanes while cros- sing thc St. Lawrence had dropped some fire balls or light balls.

The news spread quickly amongst

the members oi' Parliament and a num- ber oi' them made their way to the rooi' oi' the main building to watch for the reported visitors. About 11.15 o'clock orders were issued to darken the Parlianient buildings. Every light in the grounds was extinguished and cvery blind drawn.

Orders have also been given by Col.

Sherwood to dakren Rideau Hall, the official residence oi’ the Governor Gen- eral of (lanada and thc lloyal Mint.

nor General, has gone to Winnipeg to inspect tho troops of tht- garrison there but thc Duchess of (.‘onnu.ught and Princess Patricia are at Govern- ment House.

Previous to the receipts of. this tele-

The injury to the actress dates back

many months. it wasincurred in the course of her stage work, while she was kneeling in a scene in one of her plays. She struck her knee violently' 'on an iron bolt. and ever since the limb has troubled her.

ln May last the pain was so in-
