Mr. Butt has' been studying the food rationing question for some months, and becomes Chief Director under the new scheme, Fifteen areas would each have a con. troller, who would be responsible tq the National Rationing Committee, Each major area also would have many minor controllers, who would govern the workers assigned to dis-tributing food. It will take about two months to instruct those who are be. ing appointed by the Food Controller. This would be about the middle ot July, and by then it is expected that the people of the country will have given evidence as to whether they are going to comply with the voluntary rationing plans. Harvest conditions and the amount of imports available also will be factors in determining whether the rationing scheme shall be put into operation. Royalties Prepare to Flee An Amsterdam despatch on Sunday, declared that the danger of a revolution against the present government and royal family ot Sweden is so great that two warships have been placed in the anchorage opposite the royal palace to be available if the King and Queen are compelled to flee.

A Petrograd report si Gurko, commander on tl front, has issued an order declaring that, the fraternizing of Russians with the enemy troops must be stopped. He declares that such fraternizing which lias become a common practice, enables the enemy to learn Russian military dispositions and also, by ing a lull on the Russian front, leaves the Germans free to forces against, the British and French. Gen. Gurko warns the troops that if the fighting ^comes to a stand-till in France the Germans will throw all their forces against the Russians who, lulled by promises of peace, not be in readiness to repel t)n tack. He says that three divisions of Germans have already been transferred from the Russian front and that 'others ar • following, including artillery and aircraft.
