therefore passed through the hands
of both the Italian and French CEN

statement that It was rumored in
Rome that all the berligerents except
France were now inclined toward

No Milk Shortage
Continued from second page.

pounds of our butter is produced on
the farm nearly all of our cheese is
made in factories.
Milk is used everywhere that man
lives, and it is secured from many diff
tercnt kinds of animals. Around the
Arctic Ocean the Laplander milks his
reindeer and freezes the milk into
blocks to keep until needed; in the
desert regions of Asia and Africa the
natives drink the milk of camels and
donkeyS; in Western Asia there are
wandering Tartar tribes who live larg-
ely on mares milk. In many countries
the goat is the poor mans COW, while
sheep milk is widely used in the manu-
f&cture of cheese in Europe.
In recent years Russia has built up
a large dairy industry in Siberia, and
before the war great express trains,
sweeping across two continents, car
tylhg nothing but dairy products, were
a striking object-le3son of the worlds
craving for butter anc cheese. The
Chinese, Koreans ana japanese use
comparatively little milk, their coun-
tries being too popu!ous to admit OF
the Keeping of many cows.
Little Denmark leads all the coun-
tries Of the world in the eXportation
OF dairy products and Danish butter
IS known wherever good living is en-
loyed. Danish dairymen have been
imported to all parts of the temperate
world to teach the secrets of high
class dairying.
The volume of butter which in nor
nal times reaches the channels Of in
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-03-04

ternational trade amounts to 728,000,-
900 pounds, which is less than half of
the butter production of the United
States alone. The per capita consump-
ton of butter in the United States is
about II pounds. On the same basis
Germany would consume 100000
pounds. In 1913 that country import
ed 122,000,000 pounds more than it
exported.
1t will be seen from this that if she
normally uses as much butter as we
do, her shortage would be 1917 per
cent. However, Norway, Sweden, Den
mark and Holland have about 26,00O,-
600 pounds to export annually, while
Austria Hungary has a surplus of
100000 pounds. In normal times
England takes three-fifths of the
worlds surplus of butter; in 1912, out
of 728,000,000 pounds moving in inter
national commerce, the United King
dom took 435,000,000 pounds.
There are no world statistics of the
production of cheese, except of that
part moving in international trade.
The United States annually produces
about four pounds per capita. The
total amount imported by all the coun-
tries of the world is 531 100000
pounds, of which the United Kingdom
takes 250,OOO,OO0, Germany 47OOO,-
900 and Austria-H Hungary 100000.
Bulgaria exports 100000 pounds and
Holland and Switzerland have $780,
100000 pounds to give a cheese-hun-
gry world.

Gen. Townshend's little garrison OF
10000 men, besieged in the Tigris
city of Kut-ELAnara since the
first week of last December, has
surrendered to the Turks.
The official announcement OF the
fall of the garrisoned city was made
early today.
The British force, which origin
ally was about 10000 men bot was
reduced to 10000 after the aIrnosk
incessant fighting which preceded
its capture of Kut-ELAmara, has

Before his surrender Gen.
Townshend destroyed al the guns
and munitions which rerlIaged pf
those in stock at the tiIlfe TIE city
was occupied early last winter.
II IS believed prdbzbir that
Townshend surrendered to avoid
starvation. A relief ship sent tu-
ward the city on.the Tigris ground
ed and could not be floated, and 80
efforts Of the British relief torces
to cut their way to The belezgered
city were fruitless, the last result
ing in the announcement from Con-
stantinople that the British e,fje-
dition had sustained severe de-
feat.
A score of miles away from Ktit-
El-Amara the relief army has been
held for months by the well-organ-
lied and powerful Turkish forces.
Efforts to take food to the city BY
aeroplane did not afford relief in
sufficient quantity to save the situ-
alton.
