S Athens, Nov. T.—Miss Marcelle Reed of La Grange, Oregon, who for two years has “been 8- tor‘ veddofi;tute Serbian orphans, -has -rece rom. King Peter. the order of Milorsche in recognition of her ' worl past three months ,during the . ab- sence of Madame Dora Drouitch, the head of ‘the H. P. Frothingham Insti- tute, assisted by Miss Emily Simmons of New York, Miss Reed finally broke down under the long strain and has returned to the United States for a Test. Mrs. Charles H. Farnam of New York has just inspected the Frothing- ham Institute on behalf of various American Serblan relief organizations. She has left Athens for Saloniki where she will' tontinue her work of study- ing the needs of the Serbian refugees and the civil population of Serbia with a view of securing more unity in the American Serbian relief work to spare waste effort and duplication. “It is wonderful what the ple of United States have done and are do- ing to help distressed Serbia, he said. “No one can have any idea how much it means to.us. Without the help of the Americans so many Serbs would die that the Serbian people would be in danger of ceasing to exist. “Most of all we shall need medicines For the and clothing. But after these, the simplest and cheapest of foodstuils; wheat, cornmeal, rice, béans and suz- ar are the essentials. Our people are peasants. They neither know the use nor have acquired the taste for more elaborate things to eat. Last year they recelved a large quantity of green corn from the United States; but they did not know how to eat it or what to do with it, and this valu- able shipment was wasted on that hc- count. “In the matter of clothing the simpl- est and warmest garments are best. In the early days of the war, we re- ceived many boxes from America and Bngland in which kind ladies rad packed low-necked, filmy ball gowns. If you could have seen the Serbian peasant women who needed flannels, clutching, shinging-eyed, these gauzy creations of silk and chiffon, the like of which they had never dreamed ex- isted. B The best way of shipment is for a central forwarding committee in New York to accumuate the supplies until a shipload is gathered, then to hire a vessel and send all the supplies aboard her to Saloniki. There a distribution committee can be charged with seeing that they are placed in the way to do the most good. BRITISH LOSSES THROUGH SHORTAGE OF VESSELS Thus 'Far Has Been Equivalent to 4,000,000 Tons ‘of Shipping. London, Nov. 7.—In a leading arti- cle on ““The Tonnage Shortage and the Remedy” the ' Liverpool - Journal of Commerce points out. that the British mercantile marine has suffered a loss equivalent’ to féur million tons' of shipping, detailed as follows: _ Hin- drance of new construction 1,700,000 tons, war losses 1,520,000, excessive depreciation, one million tons. Quoting Lloyds Register ‘for the quarter ending September 30, 1916, in which vessels completed only totalled 1,000 tons gross, the journal says seventy thousands.tons per quarter, or one décent ship a week, is a ridic- ulous output. In spite of admitted dif- ficulties it is hard for the outsider to believe that this cannot be iraproved, while everyone claiming any general knowledgze of the situation is well aware that many more ships could be without dnterfering with more urgent requirements of any other section of our fighting machinery.” The paper glaims that a~ con \creasing muititude of offic ing employed to of the shipbuilder: nd apparently ‘en- sure that wha able labor and ma- terial there is shall be wasted; and urges the necessity of appointing one trong man to ern everything, to - that available supplies are not frittered away, to ensure that the man can ve ships is given big ta hui'd in =eneral to ar- range things on a sensible basis. 1 meé \ve run, the ship- S s business concerns, e ded thel policy for a . find thernselves helpless in the 1 invading army, which ap- thinks that in this grave experience is more likely tc i yield good results than expert knowledge. “What is required is the appoint- ment of a dictator, an individual who is intimate w the shipbuilding in- dustry and whose career is a gu antee of strength of character, sound- of judgment and outstanding ility. Such a man could be found if desired and if such an appoint- ment were immediately announced, the relief to the shipbullding world would be instantaneous.” HARTFORD MAN HAD THRILLING EXPERIENCE Was on British Freighter Which Was Sunk by German Submarine.

Buenos Aires, Nov. 7.—The ordinary session of the Argentine congress end- ed just previous to the recent change in government when a radical 'presi- dent assumed’power for the first time in history. The period just closed has not been remarkable for legislation. The best paid parliament in the world, its achievements during the ordinary pe- riod have been mediocre, practically nil. As usual the estimates were left to be dealt with in extraordinary ses- sion. It is felt that the new admin- istrator's first serious difficulty will be in national nces. In regard to provincial finances they are seldom considered. They represent a perma- nent source of trouble—a ‘chronic cha- os. The situation is not improved by the studied silence of the new presi- dent, Dr. Irigoyen, whose pre-election taciturnity has been maintained with the utmost rigidity. No one knows what his policy may be; his piatform is an enigma. . Among the list acts of the outgo- ing government were the framing b President de Ja Plaza, of a sourd ¢ rency bill. The idea is to harmonize the paper “peso” or dollar with a gold basis. At present the paper dollar, legal currency, equals 44 cents go'd. The president’s plan is to make Argen- tine paper dollar equal'to a five franc French currer Twenty cents Ar- gentine paper would therefore be the minor unit equal to the franc.
