With the allies' abandonment of Ostend all the Belgian wounded there were brought to hospitals here. Hos pital trains are provided here daily to meet the Red Cross ship, and the wounded who can travel without danger are taken to hispitals as near their homes as possible. The Red Cross ambulance corps has Its" headquarters at a hotel on Jhe quay and motor ambulances are kept on the quay to transport wounded sol diers who arrive from Boulogne or Calais.

Some of the wounded were taken to Ostend after the hospital had been abandoned and could not be given effective treatment. HOG CHOLERA MUST 60 SECRETARY BOl'STOX TELLS HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEM. Importance of Slating Asricnlture Efficient and Profitable Outlined At Dairy Show. CHICAGO, Oct. 26. "With people of all sections keenly interested in the supply of life s necessaries, they recog nize the importance of makinc agricul ture efficient and profitable and rural life comfortable," Secretary Houston, of the Department of Agriculture, said today beore the convention of the Na tional Dairy Show Association. He told the association what the government was doing to aid the farm er to increase the- Nation's rapidly diminishing meat supply, develop acre age production, and asserted there could bpe "no question that the key to the solution" of many of the problems of rural life will be found in Some form of concerted action or co-opera tion. "Just what factors have brought about the serious condition -confront. ing the Nation in its meat supply," he said, "no one with certainty can define. and so to ascertain tnem I have an pointed a commission consisting of the best authorities I could discover," said the authority. "This study will embrace an invests gation of production and consumption. of the methods of producing, finishing and marketing. Certain things, how ever, now are clear, "and definite meas ures for increasing the meat supply are being taken. "Unquestionably the largest hope for I - a considerable increase in our meat supply lies in: "First, systematic attention to the production of larger animals in the settled farming areas of the country, especially in the South; second, in- creasing attention to the smaller ani mals, such as swine and poultry, and, third, the control and eradication of cattle ticks and hog cholera."

A French nhODocravfa for teacnlnr 1a.n guaces displays ta printed word as th Oil Ships Released and Question of Changed Registry Is Xot Raised. Navy Department Holds Ma rine Insurance Is Safe. WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. Great Brit ain in two notes presented today to the State Department by the British Ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, de fined her attitude toward commerce between neutral countries as one of rigid -endeavor to give every security possible in the interest of free ana undisturbed trade. The documents constituted a general pronouncement of British policy on the subject oi contraband. The points in the British view are: American shippers should take ade quate precaution to show the exact destination of their goods, mention ing either a specific consignee or a neutral government in their bills of lading. Great Britain will be guided by the American doctrine of continuous voy age or "ultimate destination" in re spect to commerce between neutral countries in articles generally known as conditional contraband. Absolute contraband, embracing munitions of war, is always subject to seizure ana careful examination when carried in neutral ships. Cotton, which is specifically men tioned by Great Britain as neither ab solute nor conditional contraband, can be shipped in neutral vessels, not only to neutral counties, but to all bellig erents, without molestation. The announcements from London that the American tanker Brtndilla had been ordered released at Halifax. N. 8.. and that the Platuria held on the coast of Scotland similarly would be permitted to continue her voyage. cleared up every pending question on the subiect of shipping whlcn naa arisen in the past week between the United States and Great Britain. In both cases the principle set forth n to day's communications from the British Ambassador was followed, namely, that on determining the exact destination of the cargo, as neutral, the vessels would not be held. Great Britain's decision not to raise the question of changed registry In. either the case -of the Brindilla or the Platuria strengthened the belief of the Administration that there would be no difficulty in this connection where the ownership of vessels which changed their flag was continuously American. As vet there has been no test case of a change from German to American registry where a transfer from a ter- man company to an American concern was involved. There have been several such transfers, but in such cases it Is understood British Consuls have been satisfied that the transfer was of a bona fide character and have not rec ommended that the yessels be brought before a prize court. The attitude of the British govern ment in these matters was regarded by the Washington Government as eml nently satisfactory, the assurances that cotton cargoes woul I not be mo lested, even when bound for belligerent countries, betas' particularly welcome. As a result of these definite assur ances. Secretary McAdoo issued the following statement tonight: "There is no reason why underwrit ers who cover marine and war risk in surance should now hesitate to issue policies on cotton on neutral bottoms, so far as Great Britain is concerned. The Bureau of War Risk Insurance of the Treasury Department is writing in surance freely on cotton when carried in American vessels.
