CAIRO, April «. When opportun
ity conies the graves of the Austrians
buried in O.alllpoli are to be marked
with wattle trees, brought from their
native land. Meanwhile the American
ambassador to Turke> has been tiski !

Before Oallipoli wits evacuated the

j cided on, and a quantity of young

METRIC SYSTEM WEIGHTS
ARID MEASURES
LONDON. April G. — One of the
changes brought about in English
habits by the war is the effect it is
having in popularizing the metric sys
tem of weights and measures. The
“ annual report of the chief Inspector
_ of weights and measures in London,
just issued, shows that he was called
upon to give his official approval to
33,000 metric weights and measures
during 1915, whereas in the previous
year the number was only 1,700.
BERLIN, April 8. — The Berliner
Tageblatt prints a letter from Its cor
respondent at Varna, the chief naval
port of Bulgaria on the Black sea. in
which In says the Bulgarian troops
stationed there are commanded by a
Berman general and lieutenant redo
ne], and a Berman naval officer i also
attached to the small Bulgarian navy
it'iiat lias its home station at Varna.
The immediate task of the little
Bulgarian navy, the correspondent
j says, is lo operate by means of sub—
I marines against the Russian Black sea
fleet by hovering about the Russian!
j ports.
DRASTIC
I
DRESDEN, Germany. April 8. — A
novel move toward regulating the
gradually decreasing coffee supply in
Germany, and especially toward pre
venting the hoarding of coffee, has
been taken by the government of Sax
ony. In a recent decree it forbids tfie
sale by retailers of unroasted coffee. I
a till makes Infractions of the rule I
punishable by Imprisonment up to six
weeks, a fine up to marks, or
both. The government believes that
this rule will entirely do aVuy with
coffee hoarding, since roasted coffee
< Mintot lie kept for long without losing
its itrengtli and flavor.
STOCKHOLM, April 8. — The wire
less apparatus on board the Hamburg
Amerlcan liner Mecklenburg, lying at
Nynas, has been sealed by the au
thorities, following the alleged dis
covery that the ship has been in daily
communication w'ith Germany, and
has been receiving wireless war re
ports for foreign vessels. The same
action was taken with regard to all
1 other German boats. Since the out
! break of the war foreign vessels were
I forbidden to use their wireless.
