The English Boards of Agriculture have pre- pared two booklets entitled "Land Settlement in the Motor Country

The Foreign Trade Department of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce is advised by the Chief Cable Censor that effective from Friday, April 11th. the censorship rules will be relaxed on normally routed cables and radiograms by way of the Pacific. This means that 3. 9 (blue cover) is applicable cables to Japan and China, to officer, and slao to other raaks with the exception of Canton of similar, or suitable educational and Hongkong, can go open or in artainment, and L.S. 8 (green private codes and maybe with or cover) is applicable to noncom without signature. No transla-missioned officers and men. tions are required for the censor. These booklets, which will It may be of interest to those shortly be issued to Units through using the cable to know that one Commands, are riot for general cable goes to Japan and Northern distribution. but Officers Com- China but not to Vladivostock or manding Units will be responsible Southern China. Another cable that all officers and soldiers who goes to Manila via Guam andre interested or intend to engage there is a cable from Manila to in agriculture after the war, are Hongkong which takes in Shang-supplied with the appropriate hai and Siberia.

The cable to Manila runs over many coral reefs and is constant ly being chafed bence breaks are occurring from the time to time- At the present time the line from Guam to Manila is out of order and messages are reported to be one hundred and ninety eight hours late. On inbound cables there is a delay at present of one hundred and forty nine hours delay. The difference is caused because there are two cables out of Guam but only one in from San Francisco. The principal cause for this delay is, as stated, wire trouble, the other cause is on accagnt of heavy Government and private business overtaxing the capacity of the wire. With the permission to use private codes it is hoped this will relieve congestion as soon as the wires are repaired and the work caught up.

The Foreign Trade Department has arranged with the Cable Censor in San Francisco to tele-

booklet.

Each booklet contains a form of application to be used by offi cere and soldiers who desire to obtain a small holding in Great Britain. The form when filled up will be banded by the officer or soldier to his Commanding Oficer, who will deal with the application in the following manner:-

(a). If the application is for a small bolding in England or Wales, the Commanding Officer will transmit the form to the Clerk to the County Council of the County in which the officer or soldier desires to obtain land,

GINGER BEER.

A considerable decrease in the sale of beer in India is caused, says an official report by "the spread of temperance principles in

the Army."]

Oh. Tommy, dear, and did you hear

The news that's going round?

You're losing all those pleasant tastes

For which you were renowed.

The brewers go about in rags.

And wide away a tear;

You're losing them their profits

By drinking ginger beer.

I met with Mr. Atkins,

And I took him by the hand,

I bade him come and drink with me,

And name his special brand.

I poured him out a glass of ale::

His aspect was severe:

He drank but ginger beer.

The men who fought at Ramillies

No enemy could stop:

And they when thirsty weren't content

With enervating “pop.”-

We want to keep our Empire safe And strike our foes with fear; But on reflection, can the thing Be done on ginger beer?
