HISTORY OF BRITISH EFFORT IN WAR Work of Soldiers’ Refreshment Buiet in Victoria Station, London (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) London, Dec. 28—The history of the soldiers’ refreshment buffet in Victoria Station, London, is in a small way the history of British ef- The buffet began in a loose and unorganized fashion, more or less helpless from lack of precedent, and gradually developed until it now represents high effciency backed by a steady determination to sce the thing out to the end. All the early organizations have concentrated their efforts in a single fort in the war. management which dispenses $750 worth of tea, coffee, cocoa, sand- wiches, bread and butter and cake weekly, all supplied by private dona- tions. Branch buffets are main- tained at the stations of less mili- tary importance, at an additional ex- ! pense, and the whole machinery runs like clockwork. It is the same sort of transformation that has gone on in every department of the British government, from the raising of re- cruits to the making of munitions. Barnlike Railway Terminal. Victoria station is a great barnlike railway terminal in the center of the metropolitan area. Its lines feed many important southern and southeastern ports. such as Portsmouth, Southamp- ton, Brighton, Folkstone and Dover. There the troop trains arrive at night with their loads of men on furlough from the trenches, and there the re- turning trains leave every morning to & NIVEN CANAL ZONE TARPON CLUB.

Between times, there is a constant stream of soldiers arriving from or returning to the great training camps at Al- dershot and other points. An average of about 4,000 soldiers daily are fed at Vietorla station. Fighty women volunteer workers un- der the direction of Mrs. Kenward Matthews stand six-hour shifts day and night, for it is in the early morn- ing period that hot refreshments are most needed and most appreciated by the soldiers. Most Exciting Time. The most exciting time of the day at Vietoria is the hour of the troop trains. Their arrival -is-preceeded by a number of telegrams. The first message approximates the time of ar- rival on news of the sailing of the charnel boat. This is corrected when the boat arrives in the English port, again when the train starts on its journey and finally when on the last lap to Tondon on a clear track. Of- ten there are hours of difference be- tween the first and last telegrams, and a train due to arrive at 5 p. m. will pull in nearer 10 o'clock. One of the first signs of the coming of the troops is the gathering at ths home guards. A detall of sixty of these men. most of them quite old and all ineligible for the army, gather at the station at 4 in the afternoon. The ennrds are distinguished from the soldiers bv zreen uniforms and red armlets. They make themselves use- ful by answering questions, putting the soldiers on the right buses and in protecting them from outsiders who invest the platform.

Tables on Platform. When the time for the arrival of the fir=t section is accurately known, Mrs. Matthews, or her quartermaster, Miss Perry, have tables set up on the platform There are three of these long tables, each covered with strip of oileloth. Dish pans filled with sandwiches and cake are placerd on the tables and great urns full of tea. Vases of flowers also grace tha tables. Tt is curious what a home touch a few flowers give.

The bu- reau of labor statistics in its. annual bulletin just istued on wholesale prices of commodities reviewing the vears from 1860 to 1914 discloses that in the fifty-five years food prices were highest in. 1864 when they were sev- enty-six per cent. more than 1914 prices and lowest in 1896 when they were forty per cent. below. In the years of the Civil war and during a dozen years or more after- ward prices of all commodities were the highest since 1860 when the first attempt was made at keeping a rec- ord of wholesale prices. In 1864 prices of most commodities reachea their highest point. Lowest prices were recorded in the years from 1894 to 1898. Effect of War. The effect of the European war on wholesale prices in the United States is not fully disclosed in the report as prices for only the first five months of the war are recorded. Comparison of Civil war prices with those prevail- ing in this country during the Euro- pean war therefore is not possible. The Spanish-American war apparent- ly had littie effect on wholesale prices as they remained on about the same level as they had been in the period immediately preceding it. Farm products prices in 1914 were higher than they had been in the last forty-four years. As with food prices their highest point was reached in 1864 when eighty-five per cent, more than in 1914 and lowest in 1896 when fifty-six per cent. below. Clothes and clothing were lower in 1914 than during the previous year and were higher than at any time since 1884, when they were on the same level, except in 1907, 1910 and 1913. Their highest prices were in 1864 when 254 per cent. more than 1914 and lowest in 1896 and 1897 when twenty-five per cent. lower. Fuel and lighting prices were five per cent, lower in 1914 than in 1913 but were thirty-two per cent higher than the lowest point reached in 1894 lower than they had been since 190 being eight per cent. below 1913 prices. Their highest point was reached in 1864 when 194 per cent. higher than in 1914 and lowest in 1898 when twenty-seven per cent. 1914 prices. Lumber and huilding materials were four per cent _lower than in 1913, eighty-two per cent. below their high- est prices reached in 1864 and thirty- eight per cent. above their lowest point reached in 1897. been any the indictment which has brought against him, waiving rights he may have as a member of and 120 per cent. below the highest point, reached in 1865.

Press.) Sydney, Australia, Dec, 14—Delayed reports have brought news of a fresh volcanic outbreak on the island of Ambrim, in the New Hebrides Group, a spot which experienced a most de- structive volcanic eruption in Decem- ber 1913. The Rev. A. T. Waters, a missionary stationed on the island of Oba, about sixty miles from Ambrim, writes that on the first few days of October last smoke and volcanic ash clouded the sky so thickly that the sun gave only a weird light like the moon, and it eventually became so dark that the people on Oba had to light lamps. Everything became grifty with ashes indoors, and out-of-doors they were so thick that the sea could not be seen from the Mission house, which ordinarily afforded a fine view of the { settlements water. Panic Among Natives. Thehe was for a time some panic among the natives of Oba who thought one of the mountains on their own is- land was in eruption but the source of the trouble was later traced to Am- brim, and it appeared as though the entire island was burning. The mis- sionary’s letter did not say that any one ventured to visit Ambrim during the eruption, and the extent of the damage or loss of life, if any, is un- known. The previous eruption at Ambrim, in December 1913, was reported to have cost the lives of 500 natives, and to have completely altered the face and coast line of the island. Accord- ing {o the natives of Oba the recent trouble appeared to have been il worse than the previous eruption. Little Known of Interior. Little is known as to the interior of Ambrim, which has been visited but rarely Ly white men. 'No census has ever been taken, but among the coast there are a number mission stations, mainly ~ Roman Catholic and Presbyterian, whose members had a narrow escape in the previous eruption. The New Hebrides islands have been controlled since 1906 by a joint commission of British and French of- under the supervision of two resident commissioners, one appoint- ed by each nation. Notice.
