MEAT TO Be
REAL LUXURY
QUITE soon
In Europe after the War until
Stockbreeding Progresses
on a Large Scale.

VIENNA, Feb. 21-None too
plentiful before the war, meat Is
likely to become a real luxury in
Europe after peace is declared and
remain so for considerable time
until stock-breedlng has progressed
on an immense scale.
The Central powers group believes
1t will find itself better off than the
Entente group In this respect, but
both groups will certainly find 1t a
serious problem. At the expiration
OF two years Of warfare-which
period will soon be reached-ti is
estimated the Entente powers will be
short 7,575,000 head Of meat AMI
mails, while the Central group, owing
to THE territories occupied by their
armies, would in that time loose only
100000 heads through over-con-
sumption due to war.
Commenting upon the situation
the Paris Revue Des Deux Mondes
points out that France lost twenty
per cent Of Its meat animal stock by
the occupation OF ten departments OF
the Germans. France lost through
this 1910, 900 horned cattle. 14,S04.-
$40 sheep, and S14,919 pigs. This
means, says the periodical, that
France is deprived Of an annual meat
production Of All 1000 tons.
The live stock Of Belgium also was
lost by the Entente, this being esu-
mated to amount to about 100000
heads Of cattle, $4,000, 900 sheep and
over 100000 pigs. Germany
gained, thus the meat production OF
roundly 100000 animals In the
western theater alone.
Many Animals Fall.
Though the Russians saved much
OF their live stock In Poland and the
invaded Russian provinces, nearly
40, 100000 meat animals fell In the
hands of the Germans and Austro-
Hungarians. Against this must be
charged the losses sustained BY the
Central powers in Galicia and East
Prussia, said to amount to about 81
900 900 heads, because In East Prus-
sia much Of the stock was driven of
beforehand, while the Galician live
stock had already been drawn on
heavily by the rockingham
troops. !.

II found out what was going on IN

number Of liars talk about IT," This
| Is what President Wilson told the mo-
ton picture board Of trade in New
York.
While Mr.. Wilson'S Mexican policy
strikingly suggests that he has gained
his information from "llars," and
while his statement is a reflection
more frank than complimentary on the
numerous special representatives" no
has sent to Mexico, his assertion
makes pertinent several questions.
What reason has Mr.. Wilson to be-
lleve he knows the truth about Mex

liars 2" Sensible men do not go to

" what they were going to say to me.
and they went away very much con-
fused"
To a man less proud in his own con-
ceit. would II not have occurred that
when all his iniormants told him the
same story 1t might be that they were
telling the truth, and that he was mis-
informed? When a number OF men
are lying they do not tell exactly the
same story and no one can tell in ad-
vance what they are going to say. 1t
might have occurred to him, also, that
their confusion" might have been
due to their surprise that. knowing
the facts. he so persistently disre-
garded them.
Furthermore, Mr.. Wilson's belief
! that all his informants regarding
lMoxlco were Glars" should have been
a warning to him not to go on select

tion he is sworn to uphold, because
he thus acts without advice

| to send abroad for informa-
ton. That the president has not
learned this lesson is evidenced by his
recent dispatch Of Colonel House to
Europe. II Mr.. Wilson could for a
moment lay aside his overweaning con-
fdence Of his own Judgment he might
realize that when all who came to him

it was not they who were Lying" but
he who, as result of his exaggerated
ego and pride Of opinion, was deceive
ing himself and attempting to deceive
the American people.
| Mr.. Wilson is exhibiting extraordi-
nary dilatoriness about submitting the
data on Mexico which has been called
for by resolution Of the Senate. Is 1t
because he is ashamed Of the record
or because he still believes oil his

of course. Nevertheless, the meat
production OF the territories occupi-
ed by the German and Austro-Hun-

100000 pounds annually, which IS
,092 pounds per capita, a large sur
plus is left TO rthe occupying troops.

Pork l. Harl to Get.
That pork and pork fats are hard
to get at present In the Central pow
ers's countries may be hard to under
stand in the light Of these conditions.
But the following explanation OF this
fact Is given here. Pork has been the
favorlte meat of the men at the front.
owing to its heat-producing qualities,
and In addition, last year, when tho
grain and potato crops Of the Central
empires were, decidedly poor, too
many pigs were butchered In order
to lessen the demand for feed.
Before the outbreak Of the war, the
live stock OF Europe, the Balkan
states and the Ottoman empire not
included. stood as follows:
Entente states 76,632,912 cattle.
104, GO4,962 sheep, and 30,0OS,91:

sell supplies on credit we participate
TO that extent in the imitation caused
by the paper currency issued by the
allies. | do not believe that this in
flation has anything like reached it's
height, and so long as it continues,
cotton and all other products will
continue to rise in price to meet the
.cheapening of money and credit. This
is irrespective Of the supply of cot
ION itself. Now, t.ke this imitation
and the admittedly short crop, in the
face of a constantly increasing worlds
demand for coton, and who woul un-
dertake to say where speculation will
not carry cotton before this period
ends?
"The advance that has been made
in cotton up to the present time is
grounded entirely upon it's statistical
position. With Steel common running
up last Saturday to 1T, when it has
been down to SO, after a while these
spectators will see the big chance
there is to boom cotton and then there
will be stampede the like Of which
the world has never seen. l have
thought that the greatest advance in
cotton would come when the war was
over, but l am not so sure of this, be-
cause already wise men are becoming
alarmed at the imitation Of the curren-
cy, and just as soon as the war is over
these moneyed people are in control
Of all governments, including this, and
they will seek to make this cheap
money, dear money, by increasing the
purchasing power of, a dollar through
extracting the amount in circulation.
This war caused the panic Of 1873, az
ter the War Between the States, when
silver was demonetized. If this thing
goes on, you will see them talk about
the demonetization of gold, just as
they did soNtr. l notice in the public

we cotton planters should lay up
something for rainy day. A holding
movement one-tenth the size of the
one we put into operation in 1914
would put cotton to % cents pound

Was never needed Instead of depict
ing US of gold, within the past year
our gold supply has increased nearly
$500, 100000.
Expansion of Credit.
Consider for moment what a
tremendous expansion of money and
credit this means. One dollar in gold
under our currency system is the
basis for an issue Of $6 of paper.
Here is an expansion of $500, 0,000,-
900 due to the increase in the gold
supply in this country. There can
be no doubt about this being legitl-
mate and solid foundation for the
great business boom in the North and
West just now beginning to be felt
in the South. All of this tremendous
amount of money seems to be a.
work. 1t is not piled up in the banks
doing nobody any good as in 1914,
when the surplus reserves of the New
York banks alone were 1925, 100000.
The reserve is now only S69,000,0O0,
while the loans have bten increased
s626, 100000 over what they were in
1914.
"The second species of imitation is
not on solid, healthy foundation like
this, but is Of a speculative character,
capable Of taking. cotton, or any other
product, to very high ground. The
first thing the allies did after wnr be-
gan was to declare a moratorium,
which means suspension of specie
payments. It's mediate effect was to
cause great distur bance in foreign eX-
change, which is as true an index OF
healthy trade between nations as one
nation buys anything and sells the
other nothing the rates Of exchange
soon prevent trade as effectually as
the blockade by warships. Great
Britain first tried to maintain these
rates by sending American securities
home. but this absolutely failed, and
resort was had to large loans in this
country to England and France. These
loans did not consist Of money, but
in the extension of credit for the pur-
chase of supplies.
