The reason for the remarkable ad-
vance Is that Germany and Belgium
produce almost hHlf OF the worlds an

the Allies have had to turn to tho
American market for their needs. which
are much greater THAN the supply.
The result is that all OF the big Ameri-
car producers are sold up for their
complete supply to the end OF tho year
