Jan, 22.--Lord Robert Cecil, the British blockade minfster, in an interview states that the block- ade problem is to reconcile the Alltes' undoubted belligerent right to cut off supplies from the enemy with the equally undoubted right of neutral countries adjacent to Germany to obtain goods needed for bona fide home consumption. About the first right, misconception is impossible. The Allies have an undofibted claim to use their sea power to cut off the enemy's su and intend to ex- ercise that power to the utmost. Nei- ther ba the grounds of International Law nor humanity can the enemy or the world compalin in this respect. The German tried to offcut all dup- plies from Great Britain, apd only the 'ack of power prevents them from that power ruthlessly. Our of conducting the blockade are strict- ly in accordance with International EXERCISED BY ALLIES %0 : sh Whig mandeering all available domestie| supplies of copper and to introducing; very dubious rubber substitutes, food and clothing tickets, it cannot be sald that the blockade is a failure. The ration allowed for a German sabjet is supposed to include a half pound of meat weekly and a few thimbles full of butter, and an egg every fort- night, which is frequently unforth- coming. he quality of the bread is very bad, and the quantity very scarce, and the potato crop has large- ly failed. The hope of the German people founded on this erop is sadly disappointed. The present day posi- tion of Germany certainly appears grave. There is every reason to be- lieve that the condition of Germany's allies is ever worse. "Were undue amounts of material allowed to reach the countries ad- jacent to Germany during the last year? The importation of yarious important commedities into three Scandinavian countries and Holland during the first nine months of 1916, as compared with the normal pre- war importations for home require- ments in the three years preceding the year in tons are as follows: Corn flour, corn fodder and oil cake, total i pre-war importation, 6,170,000; pre- war import for home consumption, 3,260,000; imports, 1916, 3,000,0005 copper, respettively, 100,000, 24,000 and 22,000 animal and vegetable oils and fats, respectively, 440,000, 256,- 000,250,000. Ensure Impartiality. 'I trust that these examples which are typical of other valuable com- modities may serve. to indicate the blockade efficiency, and prove that the enemy is being prevented from obtaining overseas supplies. The question of the disposal of the home- grown produce of countries border- ing on Germany is more difficult. Germany's prices gre high and the difficulties of transport to their al- lied 'countries must be very great. Naturally, where produce, dependent upon raw materials or facilities offer- ed by allies, advantage can'be and is taken of this fact. Steps have, moreover, been taken to purchae from allies large amounts of sup- plies in these countries, and it can be stated generally every effort is being made, and will be made, to ensure that neural countries adjaent to Germany should treat Germany with strict impartiality. Once more were inclined to be tempted by the large prices offered into becoming enemy supply bases, but this had been stop- ped altogether.

London, Jan, 22.--S8ir George Per- Jey has officially anhounced two im- portant changes regarding Canadian troops in England which it is pre- dicted will make for efficiency and economy, and which will form part of the general policy of centralisation which Gen. Turner has inauguarated since he took over command. Both reports are from the Quartermaster- General's Department. It first deals with transport. : 3 Hitherto every * battalion coming to England has had its own horses, harness and wagons, and there has been considerable overlapping in the use of these. From now on all regi- mental transport will be centralized under direct control of the Canadian Army Service Corps, which will ac- quire all regimenta) transport. It is estimated in the report that the change will result in saving over 200 horses and other equipment. There will be better attention for the ani- mals and a reduction of transport expenses of over $500 daily.
