She has carried well over 300,000 peoole while on war service. "It would not be correct to say that Captain Hayes has brought her thru without a scratch, but her scars are marks of honor. She bent and frac 'urpd some of her plates when, in the darkness early one morning she 'trafed' one of Germany's finest U boats. "The Olympic had most of her ad ventures while she was carrying American troops. During March, April and May, 1918, the German sub marine commander made at least seven attacks on her. Not once did the enemy have ti&ie to launch a tor pedo, for in every case he was greet ed by a 6-inch shell or one of the lestroyers was on his track with her depth charges. Perhaps some of Ger manv's missing submarines are now lying below the track of the Olympic. "The mot thrilling experience which the Olympic had took place, in the darkness of early morning of May, 1918, near the entrance to the English Channel. It was just about 4 o'clock vhen the look-out man picked out of 'he almost total darkness the outline ot a lurking submarine which was ly ing on the surface. Immediately after his warning shout one of our forward irons blazed out, and the ship, with her helm hard over, spun around like great racing yacht and crashed into the enemy. "The blow was, of course, not a clean one, or there would have been few survivors from the submarine. Judging from the damage on the bows of the ship when dry docked a few lays later the blow cut off one end of the submarine. The rest drifted past the stern of the Olympic, and one of the gun crews on the poop olanted a 6-inch shell squarely into it. One of the destroyers in the escort dropped behind, and by the light of jtar sheila picked up 31 survivors, three of whom died on the way to port. The total crew of the submarine was over 60." JAPAN WOULD BECOME STRONG LJKE AMERICA Tokio, Jan. 4. If Japan desires to become industrially strong she should jhape her future policy in accordance with thnt of the United States, de clares E. Uehara, a former member of parliament, in an article in a Jap anese magazine. Mr. Uehara at tempts to explode the theory that Japan must acquire territory in or der to develop herself from an indus trial standpoint Instead, he proposes industrial co-operation with the Unit ed States. "I ha-ve no doubt," lie writes, "that the conclusion of peace will find the United States in a position to lead the world in the matter of thought as well as in economics. It would therefore be the height of unwisdom for Japan to shape her future policy otherwise than in accordance with the policy of the United States. Not only the Pa cific question but almost all of Jap an's internatonal questions such as those regarding China, Russia, Can ada, Australia, South America and India are impossible of solution with out the support of the United States."

Communal feeding on a huge scale through the estab lishment of 4,000 national restaurants is planned for London. The project is to be carried out jointly by the na tional. kitchens division of the minis try of food and the national caterers' protection society. The three main points of the scheme are: Establishing buying organizations for the collective purchase of food stuffs. Providing efficient equipment on a co-operative basis. An agreed system oi inspection oi catering establishments to secure rea sonable prices and good conditions of management. The caterers expected to take part in the enterprise are all members of the protection society and they will be permitted to use for their estab lishments the title of "National Res taurant." There will be uniform menus and prices will be fixed at a figure to enBuns a reasonable profit to the caterer and yet be easily within the limits of the average purse. A high standard of efficiency and clean liness will be exacted.
