CERMANY'S MEAT
SUPPLY HAS
REMAINED Intact
CENSUS OF LIVESTOCK FOR 1914
SHOWS GAIN OF $4,000 CAT.
TIE OVER PREVIOUS YEAR
(By Associated Press. J

Berlin. April THE German
government found time, notwith .
standing the war, to take the usual
census of livestock about the begin
ming of last December. The most
striking feature of the census figures
which have just been published, is
a gain Of $4,000 in the number of
cattle over the census of December,
1913. BY far the larger part Of
this gain--namely, 655.000 head,
was made In young animals between
three months and two years old.
This was due undoubtedly to the
prohibition at the outbreak OF the
war Of the slaughter Of calves. in
order better to conserve the meat
supply. In calves less than three
months old the gain was 10000
head. The net results Of the CEN
sus Of cattle was that the aggregate
increased from 20,994.344 to 2l,-
S17.769 head. There was a small
decrease in the number of hogs, the
total falling by 319,50O to 25,339,-
627 head. The decrease was wholly
in pigs less than six months old. the
number OF which was reduced by
$1,000 head during the year. Even
sheep showed a smaller reduction
than usual. Last December there
were 5,44S.500 head. which COM
pared with 5,52O.SOO at the end OF
1913, and 5,S03.40O at the end of
1912. From these statistics II is
evident that the war had made no
impression upon Germany's meat
supply up to the first week In De-
cember.

Billions of Dollars Worth Produce
Wasted
(By Associated Press. }

Muskogee, Okla, April 81
Speaking In the interest of the Nat
ional Marketing Committee organ
lied at Washington last autumn to
seek legislation to create a National
Council Of Agriculture, Representa-
tive William S. Goodwin, Of Arkan-
sas, told the Southern Commercial
Congress here today that billions OF
dollars worth Of American farm pro-
ducts annually go to waste. 80 long
as one bushel Of potatoes Is unmark-
eted or a hungry man Is unfed" he
said. I'VE have an imperfect distri-
button system"
Representative Goodwin said that
the ultimate consumer pays one dol
lar for the same agricultural pro-
ducts for which the grower receives
but 35 cents. the 65 cents being
consumed by clumsy, inadequate
distributive methods allowing waste
and decay. He predicted that IL q
market could be found for all agri-
cultural products. railroad dividends
would be the order Of the day, in
creased employment on railroads and
farms would follow and immense
increases would be rolled up in the
national wealth. He urged q mark
citing system modelled after the Ger
man or Danish plans, with national,
state. county and townships CO.
operating to bring producers and
consumers nearer.

BISHOP OBJECTS TO
RECENT APPOINTMENT

London, April 27.-The Bishop of
Zanzibar. Church OF England, who
last year scored the so-called Kiku-
yu bishops for administering COM
munion to Methodists, Presby terians
and Baptists at q joint service. has
started another quarrel between
High Church and Low. His latest
outburst is against the Bishop Of
Hereford because of the appoint
ment OF the Rev. b. HA Streeter.
the author OF several religious
books showing the influence Of mod
ern religious thought, to the canon
ry Of Hereford Cathedral. His pro-
test Is in these words:
Therefore do we. Frank, Lord
Bishop Of Zanzibar, hereby declare
and pronounce that so long as the
ground Of our complaint remains.
there can be, and from this day for
ward there Is, no communion in sa-
cred things between ourselves and
the Right Reverend John, Lord
Bishop of Hereford, nor between
ourselves and with any priest with
in his jurisdiction who shall make
known his approval of the false doc
trines now officially authorized
within the Diocese of Hereford.
In meeting this protest, the Bish-
op OF Hereford says in an open let
ter published in the Times and ad-
dressed to his accuser:
For one bishop to take upon
himself to excommunicate another
bishop on his sole authority because
Of an alleged misuse of the patron

BILL TO CREATE
STANDARD SIZE
FIELD CRATE FOR
CITRUS FRUIT

Tallahassee, Fla, April 27.-A
bill that will create a standard size
held box for the citrus groves of
Florida, will soon be enacted. This
measure was introduced by Repre-
sentative S. S. Griffin, of Orlando
and is one approved by the citrus
growers in the entire orange belt
The law gives the dimensions as fol-
lows:
Section L. That all field boxes to
be used in the sale of oranges, grape
fruit and lemons by grower to pack
er or buyer shall be of the uniform
size of twelve inches wide, thirteen
inches high and thirty-three inches
long, and shall contain middle par
titioh not less than one ich thick.
1T has been contended that in GER
tain sections of the State growers
have been imposed upon by the buy
ers of fruit, especially where the
fruit was sold on the trees. This
state Of affairs came about because
there had never been a standard size
box established, and the sizes used
varied in each locality. Some cases
are known where box and one-half
Of good fruit was packed out Of one
field box, after the culls had been
removed. When the fruit was bought
by the field box and then resold by
the packed box the average price
was ridiculously low that was paid
the owner Of the grove.
The evil from that source will be
removed by the new law.

FATE Of TWO
CRUISERS IS
unknown
WERE SAID TO HAVE ESCAPED
FROM 13 FRENCH SHIPS LAST
FALL BUT THIS WAS NEVER
VERIFIED
[ By Associated Press. }

London, April 81 Whether the
German cruisers Goeben and Breslau
escaped from Messina last fall by
running gauntlet of thirteen Brit
ish and French warships and ten
torpedo boats, as asserted by a petty
officer of the Goeben in the Vienna
Arbeiterzeitung, is a question that A.
Fl. Pollen. the naval experts, asks
OF the British admiralty in the COL
umns of the Westminster Gazette.
The admiralty has never made
public any naval action beyond the
engagement previously Of the two
German ships with the Gloucester,
which causes Mr.. Pollen to remark:
1.-The circumstances attending the
escape Of these two ships have been
studiously kept from the British
public MP to now. We know that the
commander-in chief in the Mediter &,
ranean was called upon by the ad !.
miralty to give an account of his
dispositions and that his account
was considered satisfactory. We also
know that the admiral in command
of a very powerful cruiser squadron
in the Mediterranean was recalled
to England. subjected to a court of
inquiry and subsequently court mar
tailed and acquitted. But we do
not know on what charge the admir-
atty was brought into court, we
know nothing of the character of his
defense. nor the grounds on which
he was acquitted. In theory court
martial is an open court; in prac
tice ii can he made a star chamber

called detrimental to public inter =.

Pollen declares that nothing Is
gained by keeping back information
eight months old, since 1t can not be
OF any value to an enemy and only
betrays a lack Of trust in the British
public. If such an action took place,
he says, there must have been casu-
