MORE LIVESTOCK
 NOW THAN YEAR AGO
STATISTICS CONTRADICT REPORT THAT PRICES WILL REACH UN-
 PRECEDENTED FIGURES.

Washington, Feb 6-For the first time in many years, Information col lected by the United States depart ment of agriculture shows that all classes of live stock in the United States are increasing in numbers. Thus the real facts contradict abso- lutely sensational reports that prices for meat and shoes would rise to un- precedelted figures in the immediate future lt has even been said that a government statisticial predicted meat at 30 cents a pound and shoes at Sl0 a pair within the next two years. Such a prediction the real government stausticians say, is quite mWarraated.
 On January |, for example the num- Der of beef cattle showed an in- crease of B. per cent over the mum Der year ago, and an actual in- crease of l.212,000 head Hitiherto the number of beef cattle in the United States has declined steadily since 1910 There are also more milch COWS in the country than last year the increase being per cent. or in numbers 525 GOO. Swine. how ever, showed the greatest increase of all classes--9.6 per cent. On January 1. 1914, there were only 5S,933.00 swine ia the country, on January I, 1915. 64.61S.00 This is accounted for by the fact that the production of swine can be increased more rapidly than that of other classes of live stock and consequently an enlarged demand can be met more readily.
 The prediction of 50 cent meat and $l0 shoes was accompanied by the declaration that France alone had taken from America nearly 300,00o horses within the last five months and that the other countries al war have drawn upol our resources in the same proportion The facts are that more horses were on the farms Of the United States on January l. 1915 than there were a year before, the increase being 2&3. .000 head or IT per cent 90 far from France alone having taken 30O000 horses from us, the total exports since the war be- gan have certainly been much less than 100000 and very likely not over 75.0O0 Since there are approximate ly 25.000, 000 horses altogether in the United States, the drain on account of the war is scarcely alarming.
 It is in tact pointed out by govern. ment statisticians that the market value of farm horses has actually de chned to such an extent that the average is now about S6 a head less

s6o 100000 APPROPRIATION FOR
 DAMAGE TO PROPERTY

Paris Feb G-By decree appro- priating $6o00Oc00 to be applied to individual indemnities for damage to property caused by the GermaI occu. patton. the French government is ae'd to have adopted the principle of such indemnities though heretofore no law authorized them. Here tofore the state has declined all responsibility for damage to private interests as the re. suit of invasioas EXcesses commit. ted by an enemy were sonidere1 in the same category as losses by storm or fire
 In June when there was no thought of war Deputy Louis Marin introduc- ed a law recognizing the principle and national responsibility for inGt vidual losses in such cases The chamber. however. did not consider the discussion Of this law urgent and it was deferred

than a year ago. This decline is most noticeable in the cotton states and in
 those states which make a business of breeding horses for sale in other sections Mules have declined even
 more than horses ueir value being
 now S11.50 per head less than a year ago. The explanation is to be found
 in the depression on account of the
 cotton situation in the south. which is
 the great market for mules. An i'm provemeut in this respect will do much to restore the demand for horses, so that government special ists while ridjculing the notion Of a horse famine are convinced that
 farmers will find if profitable to use good work mares for breeding more stock
 As for hides, the situation is not quite so clear but even here there has been much gross eXaggeration. From twofifths to less than oIe-half Of the leather used in this country is imported, about 9 per cent of the
 foreign hides coming from Argentina,
 15 per cent from Canada II per cent from Mexico, s l-2 per cent from Flu ropean Russia, and l-2 per cent from France Since the outbreak of the war, importations have shown a certain falling off, those for Septem- Der. 1914, for example. eing only 34,- 900 GOO pounds, instead of 45.000. 900 pounds the year previous There is, l however. little reason to suppOre that
 this decrease will permanent or of
 sufficient importance to create any | real scarcity Since the great bulk
 of the imported hides come from
 countries that are not at war. ship
 ments are not interrered with in any
 way. and the only new factor to be
 considered is the possibility of an in'
 creased demand by the warning coua- 1 tries
 1t is believed. however. that the United States Is now in a better con. | dition to face such a situation than
 for years past The tide it seems 1 has turned Instead of live stock ] steadily decreasing year after year
 this year for the first time as has been said all classes show an appre. | ciable increase, Including horses
 mules milch cows. beef cattle. sheer
 and swine. there were on January l. | 1915. 7712.000 more farm animals in
 the United States than on January l 1914. The increase in the total value
 was S7S,024 .000 or l3 per cent lt
 is quite true that this increase is not | proportional to the increase in popu
 lation, which is approximately ? per cent but the fact that there is an
 increase, that the tide seems defi
 nitely to haye turned. is regarded as sufficient answer to alarming eXag | gerations and misleading figures.

INSURE EFFECTS OF OFFICERS

London, Feb 6-The Board of Trade has prepared a scheme to insure the effects of officers and captains ia the mercantile marine who have suffered heavy personal losses owing to seiz- ure since the war broke out The plan is that the State issue policies at a suggested premium of so shilNngs per one hundred tpounds sterling, tla each policy should be issued for six months and the maximum sum to be insured by 75 pounds for captains, 30 for officers and pro rata rates for en- gineers. seamen and firemen.
 The suggested government flat rate of so shillings per 100 pounds per an mum. will do much to relieve the anxi' ety of those who are performing a na tional service ia bringing supplies over seas.

 Sheltering himself as well as he could, he commenced firing One, two, three Germans went down under his fire He had used threefourths of his 220 cartridges when ne was surprised to see the enemy fleeing from then position to line of trenches further back. They evidently supposed from Thorel's rapid fire that they had to do with a strong force. Thorel then found his way back to the French line and reported to the colonel that he had two lines of German trenches at his disposition.
 The recovered ground was occupied at once and the previously projected night attack assured further sub- stantial gain

PUBLIC HEARING ON QUESTION OF PROHIBITING iMPORTA-
 TONS ANNOUNCED.

Washington. Feb 6.-BeCause of the danger to American nursery stock public hearing will be held at the department of agriculture to discuss a proposed quarantine on the impor- tation of all pines from Europe Dur ing the past year imported pines have been found to be infested with the European pine shoot moth In Eu- rope this is one Of the principal n- sect enemies of pines ald is espe- cially destructive in nurseries, young forests and ornamental limitations. t kills or iniures the young twig growth and defOrms tue tree to serious eX- tent
 In this country the insect seems 10 be still confined 10 the European pines in Connecticut, Illinois Massa- chusetts. New Jersey, New York Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. Strenuous efforts are al- ready being made to stamp il out and it. is believed that these will be sue cessful if no further importations of infested stock are permitted
 The white pine blister rust has al ready resulted in the exclusion of all tiye-leafed pines from Europe and Asia The proposed quarantine will extend this prohibition to all classes of piles from Europe No restriction is prcposel on the importation of pine seed. Tine hearing will be heldSHR

the report of her disablement is true.
 The relative strength of the Rus sian and Turkish naval forces in the Black sea is greatly affected if the Sultan Jawus Selim is seriously dis abled At the outbreak of the war the vessel was accounted one of the crack warships of the German navy. and did serious damage to British and French ports in the Mediterranean before she was turned over to the Turks.
 British naval experts declare that the removal of the Sultan Jawus Se- linn as fighting force would leave the balance of power in the Black sea to the Russians. and leave Turkey without the sea transport which is vital to her
 The Russians possess five battle ships in the Black sea These are the Evstafi Ioann Zlatoust.
