One Million Pigs
B;lleted On Civil
Belgian Popu1ace


Brussels, March 2O.-One million
German pigs have been tilleted on
the civilian population of Belgium.
Nne pigs must be fed and cared for
~ the Belgians, who without dis
fiction as 20 class mnst perform
this service. One Of the wealthiest
Inhabitants Of Brussels has been
compelled to take twelve hogs on
which he styles reduced rates by
the week." His poorest neighbors
have at least one pig to the family.
Some time past there have been
reports of shortage Of fodder in
Germany, whereas the amount in
Belgium is nearly normal, hence
the Importation of the swine.
Belgians are concerned lest the
presence of the pigs deplete the
supply of food.
The German authorities have de-
vised an elaborate system of bill
letting the pigs and obtaining re-
ports as to their condition. The dis
tribution system has broken down
at times. with The result that occu-
pants of flats and residences have
found themselves saddled with the
care Of animals.

COTTON CROP OF 1914
GREATEST ON RECORD

by Nearly Half Million eaIes-cali-
fornia and Arizona Becoming Cotton
States,

Washington, March 20.-The greatest
cotton crop ever produced IN the
United States vas grown in 1914, cen
sus bureau figures today placing the
crop as a record with 16,1O2,1 143 bales
of 500 pounds each. That is 400. 4i2
equivalent 500 pound bales, or 2O4.-
13l,000 pounds, more than was pro-
duced in the great crop of 1911.
A feature of the crop was the great
ly increased production in California
and Arizona, two states where the cot
con growing industry is in it's infancy,
and where superior quality Of the
staple is raised.
California's production amounted to
49,s35 bales or 24.917,500 pounds, while
Arizona's crop was 7,142 bales or g.
571 900 pounds.
Unofficial estimates place the value
Of the crop, which this season has
been greatly reduced by the effect OF
the European war, at $57O,00O,0O0 for
lint. The value of the seed Is estl-
mated at s134.000,00O. These together
make the estimated value of the crop

many Denies Heavy Losses in Battle
at Neuve chapeIis.

London, March 20.-With the Rus
sian Black sea fleet reported knock
ing at the door Of the Bosphorus and
six allied battleships renewing the
bombardment in the Dardanelles, the
fate of the straits is today hanging in
the balance, according to the opinion
expressed in London.
Nevertheless, reports from Turkish
sources express supreme confidence OF
the impregnability of the defending
forts.
The report Of the British admiralty
giving news Of the sinking of three
battleships-two British and one
French-is rather hazy as to the re-
suits achieved at this sacrifice, and it
gives rise to the belief that the straits
will not be won until the operations are
supported by effective land forces.
The French admiralty. while ex-
pressing the hope that some members
Of the crew Of the Bouvet have been
saved confirmed reports from neutral
sources that the French battleships
Gaulois also suffered severely In the
battle Of March IS.
Turks Appear Confident.
Altho the Turks minimize the effect
of the bombardment and declare that
Constantinople is not afraid, intelli-
gence received from other near-east-
ern points sets forth that negotiations
have already been begun with the
American embassy to act as an inter
mediary to save the Ottoman capital
from the guns of the warships.
News Of the destruction Of the
Karlsruhe. the German raider, has re.
ceived some confirmation by the
guarded statement Of the British ad.
miralty. Theirs is every reason to be.
Iieve that this cruiser was sunk In 'thi
West Indies last November.
Siege Warfare on Land.
Siege warfare seems to have been es-
tablished on both battle fronts Rus.
sian movement in the Carpathians has
resulted in failure according to Ber-
lin, but Vienna and Petrograd agree
that the Russians and Austrians are
making attacks and counter attacks in
the Carpathians without definite re.
suit.
The Germans are still arding
Ossewetz without doing great damage
says Petrograd.
Neither side reported any important
action on the western front the past
week.
