DAIRY PRODUCE EXPORTS
TAKE Jump DURING 1915
Falling Off for Past Twenty Years,
Increase Is Noted in Last
Years Figures.

Exports of dairy products which have
taken a decided slump in the last dec
AIDE made a remarkable recovery dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80 last.
according to figures just made public
by the Department of Commerce. About
twenty years ago cheese, butter and
other butter fats were an important
factor in the export trade, but for some
unexplained reason they have been fall
ing gradually during the Intervening
period. The United States was selling
abroad at that time between 20.000,OO0
and 100000 pounds of butter, from
100000 to 100000 pounds of
cheese. and from 100000 to 100000
pounds of imitation butter annually.
However, in recent years exports of
this class decreased in marked de-
gree and in the fiscal year 1914 had
fallen far below the quantities named.
Butter. usually averaging about g.
100000 pounds annually in our export
trade, in 1915 went to nearly 10,0t0,0o0
pounds. During this period imports of
butter were reduced by more than one
half. falling from a little less than
S,UGU,G00 pounds in 1914 to less than
4,O0O,0OO pounds last year.
Cheese Also Increased.
American cheese. running at about
100000 pounds a year, went to 81.
900 pounds in the fiscal year 1915.
Here, also, as in the case of butter. the
trade balance was transferred to the
export side, for the years imports of
cheese last year only totaled 100000
pounds, decrease of 13,15O,000 pounds
from the total for 1914. Q
Exports of condensed milk, usually
exported in sums valued at between
100000 and 100000 annually. in
1915 rose to s3.U00,00O in value, the
quantity t37,00e,000 poundsl being
double that of 1914.
Imitation butter contains, in addition
to oleomargine oil, some butter fat
The exports of this article also dou-
bled, rising from 100000 pounds in
1914 to 5,250. 900 pounds last year.
England has become our largest for
eign market for butter, cheese and con-
densed milk. having taken $685.:
of 100000 pounds: 4s.5O0.oo0 pounds
of cheese, out Of a total export of 81,
100000 pounds. and 1000. 900 pounds OF
condensed milk. out of total export OF
100000 pounds. Canada, Cuba. Pana-
ma, Australia and Venezuela also take
considerable quantities Of American
butter; Panama and the West Indies
are important markets for our cheese
while Cuba, Belgium, The Netherlands
China, Japan, Hongkong. Russia
Chosen, Panama and Brazil take large
|amounts Of American condensed milk.

NATHAN STRAUS FAVORS
MEASURES FOR DEFENSE
Advocates National Preparedness
as a Means of Guaranteeing
World Peace.

NEW YORK, October 20.-Nathan
Straus, merchant and peace advocate
spoke in favor of national prepared
ness last night at the meeting OF the
Laymen's Efficiency League of the
Episcopal Church for the metropolitan
district of New York. Other speakers
were Henry A. Wise Wood, member OF
the naval advisory board and chairman
of the committee on national prepared
ness. and L. Hollingsworth Wood, Sec
rotary of the League to Limit Arma-
ments
Why Nation Should Be Prepared.
After reviewing his efforts for peace
and reiterating his belief in them, Mr.
Straus said:
I'VE need preparedness. not to fight
battles, but to prevent battles being
fought. We need preparedness. not to
defend this nation against foes, but to
compel and guarantee world peace.
Il deny emphatically that prepared
ness leads to war. l assert with deep
conviction that thorough preparedness
on the part of America will be the best
guarantee that the world can have that
there will be no more wars"
Henry "A. Wise Wood advocated a
navy large enough to overcome the
dangers it is expected to avert.

the Serbian towns trade is done. The
export products of all southern Serbia

The city has population of $4,000

war primer reads as follows:
"Monastir is the last place in Serbia,

Serbian committees and Serbian priests
the people of all this southern terri
tory were long carefully prepared for
an ultimate union with the little king
dom. The Serbians pursued the same
tactics here that the Bulgarians and
Greeks pursued for years in their en-
deavors to win the upper hand in the
Turkish province of Macedonia. Monas-
tir was to the Serbian ambitions what
the port of Saloniki was to the Greeks
and the RulparianS.

Second City of Turkish Macedonia.

"Monastir was the second city of
Turkish Macedonia. 1t did thriving
business even under Turkish rule, and
the Serbians entertain great hope for
it's future.
Moreover, this mountain city is one
of the important strategic points in
the Balkans, and, when under Turkish
rule. il was made a base of military
defense and offense of the same rank
as Adrianople.
Here were located the headquarters
offices of a Turkish army corps; Tor the
roads from the port of Saloniki, on the
Aegean sea; from the port of Durazzo,
on the Adriatic sea; from Nish, the an
cient capital of Serbia, and from the
crossed here. The Serbians have
strengthened the defensive works of
the city since their occupation, and it
is today an important factor in the
keeping the ways open between Serbia
and Greece and Serbia and Albania.
City Nestled in Mountains.
The city nestles in bowl scooped
of 2,019 feet. To the west the noun
tains rise 10 a height of more than
5000 feet. All the mountain country
around is heavily wooded, while the
broad valley is carpeted with fruitful
fields. The port of Saloniki, where the
allied troops landed, is but eighty-five
miles distant in the southeast. Con-

drove the car along this as far as she

into the silent depths of the trees. She
found glade, narrow, but tall and arched
like cathedral. She threw herself on the
long, thick grass, and looked upward. Grad
ually her perturbation left her and she felt
her old elation. Life was a glorious ad-
venture. Presently some suggestion from
the arches of the trees or perhaps from one
of her bird neighbors, moved her, and she
began to sing almost the first song she had
ever heard time-worn but still NOV

She had sung but note or two when
the music was taken from her by an un-
trained but mellow barytone. '@Out of
