Rabbits as England's hope to ease food problem
A German shopkeeper and an Australian reader propose bold wartime ideas to placate hostilities and feed Britain. Rabbits rapidly multiplying could relieve shortages if farms are closed and stocked. Soldiers receive broad perks, including portraits, free boots, and home repair services. Wives gain allowances for families, and a national musical festival funds relief efforts amid war.

U S Made Error on Relief Funds War Dept Transfer
A New York committee reported to the State Department that relief funds mishandled by the War Department should have been distributed through the State Department and consular officers in Europe. The group noted steamship resumption in England and France, with 41 sailings planned to October, and detailed arrangements for Americans in Europe to reach safety. Ambassadors and officials provided transit schedules and ship movements from Havre, Berlin, and other ports, while the Francona voyage to Boston and other transatlantic sailings were noted. The plan to use neutral ships for transporting Americans was abandoned pending diplomatic guidance.
