Most Distinguished Islander

it is not unusual for us here to rcfcr in ap- preciative terms to successful sons and daugh- ters of this Province who have gone a long way and made good as successful Islanders abroad. Probably the most distinguished and most stic- cessful Islander abroad in our clay and generation w“ the late Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, a na- tive of Freetown, Prince County. In every part of the civilized world references have been made to his demise. The grave closed over his remains on Friday at Bedford, “icstchcster County, New York.

\\'c Iiave often quoted the behaviour of "a bull in a China shop.” It has happened at last. A bull which escaped from a slaughterhouse re- cently took refuge in an antique china shop near Windsor Castle, writes a. correspondent. There was scarcely a whole piece of ciiina left when drovcrs crime and captured the animal. Mrs. Maude Crutchlcy, manageress of the store, said “I was bombed out of my London home, but it was not more exciting than the quarter hour try- iiig to gct the bull out of the shop."

German war casualties are being brought home to the people by family announcements. An av- erage of one of every seven obituary notices now appearing in German newspapers on casual- tics in the East, concern men who have already had a father or a brother killed in the present Will’ —iiiost of them in Russia. A large propor- tion of the male signatories of these death an- nouricemcnts give their address as in the field. “Somewhere in the East," and of those roughly one-third state that they are lying in a hospital for war wounded. _

Germany's occupation of Norway has already cost the Norwegian people no less than $1,600,- ooo,0oo. Despite the destruction caused during the Norwegian campaign, which wrecked Nor- wegian economy, and the loss of Norway's great- est national income from shipping, the Nor- ivcgian banks and communities must supply al- most unlimited sums for the nccds of the oc- cupation forces. These Sums will finally have to he met by the Norwegian people and already the finance department of the Oslo Quisling govern- ment is discounting treasury bills to cover the expenses of the occupation,

Admiral Robert Blake, founder of Britain's naval supremacy, died this date 1657; sat i-n the Long Parliament and fought oii the Parliamen- tary side in the Civil War; appointed "general at sea" to track down Dutch ships which he accomplished at Malaga in 1650,- commanded the British fleet against Admirals Van Tromp, dc \\'itt mid dc Ruyter and scvcrcly defeated the Dutch off North Forcland in I653; destroyed the Spanish Treasure Fleet at Teneriffe four years later for which he received the thanks of Parliament but died at sea en route home with- ir. sight of Plymouth Sound; buried in West- minstcr Abbey; renowned for his skill, daring and lofty character, and his memorial, “Rule Bri- tannia."

Lord \Voo1ton, British Food Controller, has announced farther restriction on food supplies. "I have just reduced my demands on shipping so that it can be used for a more vigorous prosecu- tion of the war," he said. “With that sentiment people will agree, and I want them to show ilicir approval by eating fully those foods which do not liavcto be shipped here." To this end he has appealed for less dallying with bread and rolls at meals, arguing that if one wants "filler," potatoes do every bit as well as bread — and POtFliOCS are a local product in abundance. All prcscnt plans are aimed at next spring, it was said, and in view of the military demands on shipping “one or two more steps in the direction of cautious control have become necessary." As an example of the effective use of substitutes Lord Woolton cited the 80.000 ions of dricd eggs to be imported in the coming year —-thc feeding stuffs that would be import- ed to produce an equivalent volume of eggs \\'Oili(l be 2.100.000 ions. The handling of meat imports is now so arranged that a 25 pcr cent. saving of shipping space has been achieved.
