EUROPEAN WAR
ORDERS HELP j. s.
EnIarging of MunitiOn Plants
Big Aid in Supplying De-
mandS in Case of War.
International 60 serviee

International News Service:
NEW YORK. July 5.-The United
states is vastly better prepared to-
day TO supply an army of 500, 600
men in Mexico than it would have
been had the European war not sent
enormous orders to this. country for
just the materials we now need.
The exact opposite is the case
TO the quite general impression that
the pre-occupation of our manufac-
turers making things for the allies
will prevent their turning out goods
for Uncle sam.
American Plants Enlarged.
In the last two years An erican
plants have been enlarged TO many
hundred times their previous ca
pacity for manufacturing munitions.
Thousands of workmen have learned
new tasks and quantities of ma
chinery TO make munitions have been
installed. The great orders from the
allies running TO many hundreds of
millions of dollars, are just beginning
TO fall off.
1t is an easy matter for our man
ufacturers now TO increase their ca
pacity in the slight degree neces-
sary 10 fill American government or
ders. The entente allies have about
100000 men in the field or TWEEN
ty-six times the 100000 we might re-
quire for a war with Mexico.
II is figured here that American
demands will only be about ten per
cent of the quantity of materials the
United states has been supplying to
Europe.
Many Firms Hold Margin.
Many patriotic firms, too, have all
along refused to turn their whole ca
| pOcity over to the allies because they
insisted on leaving a margin to fill
American orders if we should go to
war.
If the United states should now
commander the whole output of
munition factories it would De en-
barrassed by wealth of material, for
it would quickly get ten times as
much stuff as it needed.
At the same time. the government
may take away from the allies GER
| tain things contracted for here OF
which there is a great scarcity. such
as sulphuric and picric acid. 1t might
also seize. as it has the legal right to
| do, armored cars, field guns. aero
planes, and other things standing
ready for export in order to save
time. In such cases, the foreign gov
ernments which had purchased these
/ things would be reimbursed.
In food, too. our Mexican difficult
/ " has already hurt the allied buy
ers by creating a jump i'm prices.

Sugar Cured Hams and Bacon.

When the meat Is cooled, rub each
piece with salt and allow it to drain
overnight. Then pack it in barrel
with the hams and shoulders In the
bottom, using the strips Of bacon to
fill In between or to put on top. Weigh
out for each 100 pounds of meat eight
pounds of salt, two pounds Of brown
sugar and two ounces of saltpeter.
Dissolve all in four gallons of water
and cover the meat with the brine.
For summer use 1t will be safest to
boil the brine. before using. In that
case it should be cooled thoroughly be-
fore it is used. For winter curing it is
not necessary to boil the brine. Bacon
strips should remain In this brine four
to six weeks, hams six to eight weeks.
This is a standard recipe and has given
the best of satisfaction. Hams and
bacon cured in the spring will keep
right through the summer after they
are smoked. The meat will be sweet
and palatable If it is smoked properly,
and the flavor will be good.
