Meantime, we have the official assuranos that the problem is not so acute as it was, for surely we may conclude thus from the foot that the losses are not so large at present as they were last year at this time. And in many speeches lately by many able to speak authoritatively, our country is still far from the period of starvation that the modern-Buas glostingly predicted quite a long time ago. Even more satisfactory is the fact, which in becoming more appar- ent as time paases, that the enemy, though he has been able to P. "build large U-boats, has not been able to make them more destrac-
