The London Times recently noted
the astonishing fact that English i'm
ports of chilled and frozen beef from
the United States have fallen from
$26 100000 annually eight years ago
to $4,000 in 1912. The Times says:
This is by far the most striking
change that is at present taking place
in the food trade conditions of the
world. 1t means that the once great
export meat trade of the United
States is now practically nonresident
and that unless the Americans take
steps to increase their home produc-
tion of this staple article of food they
will not only cease to export but will
become to an increasing extent rival
buyers in the markets of the world
with ourselves and other nations. We
are also threatened with the same
menace in the egg trade by the Unit

FRENCH COURTS AND WOMEN.

A criminal case overseas must
concern people of prominence, or
show other most unusual features if
we are to hear much about it. Hence
the Caillaux case is playing to large
and appreciative audience in this
nome of the brave, as well as in Eu
rope, the well known continent. Many
features of the case excite interest,
such as the extended orations deliver
ed by some Of the witnesses, who re-
fuse to let the attorneys do all the
silver-tongued stuff. But the keen
est attention rests on the outcome: /:
on what French court will do to a
woman who kills man. Frenchmen
have a worldwide reputation for
EallAntry to sustain, and on that
count would be likely to follow the
American system of giving her the
freedom of the city and environs and
. profitable position in vaudeville
