An interesting discussion took place in the House of Commons on Tuesday in committee on the Corn Production Bill , on the meaning of the term " able - bodied workman . " Sir Beville Stainer moved a new sub - section dealing with definitions , providing that the expression " able - bodied " should apply only to workmen between the ages of 21 and 60 . Mr. Prothero said it was not certain that boys of 20 were not eligible for the wages of an able - bodied man or that men of 62 had ceased to be able - bodied . The District Com- mittees would be asked to report and recom- mend on the subject to the Central Wages Board , which would be guided by local condi- The amendment was withdrawn .

New York , Monday . - In American Atlantic ports there are now 75 Dutch ships , of which the majority have cargoes of wheat , corn , oilcake , lard and bacon . All these ships are waiting for export licenses , which the Ameri- can Government has so far withheld . Prob- ably they have on board more than 10,000,000 bushels of corn . On the 26th the cars got into action for the first time with German cavalry , which all im- mediately decamped . Some of our men were for twenty hours in their seats in the armoured cars . The corps commander said we had given him a respite of twenty - four hours by filling a gap which would otherwise have enabled the enemy to cut our line of retreat .
