UNITED STATES
HAS FOOD TO SPARE
Production Increasing Faster
Than Population.
THE BEEF SUPPLY GROWING
Secretary OF Agriculture Points To
Further Great Possibilities
Held Out BY TILL
able Lands.

Neutrality-suspicious. that the popula.
ton of the United States is growing
so fast that it will outstrip the pro-
duction of food are set at rest by the
annual report of Secretary of Agricul-
ture David f. Houston, just made to
Congress.
The production Of foods in the
United States has held its own in some
branches and has increased in others.
The alarming decline in beef produc-
ton which set In some time ago reach
ed the lowest point in 1913, and since
then has increased materially. At the
same time there has been marked
increase in the production of swine.
Sheep have declined slightly. More Of
these meat animals have been slaugh-
tered under Government supervision
during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1916, than ever before, the report
states. The heaviest slaughtering has
been accompanied by an increase in
the number Of living animals, how
ever.
Secretary Houston says that the
situation gives reason for the bright
est optimism, II being indicated that
the United States cannot only supply
its own food needs, but can feed a
large proportion of the people of the
outside world.
The report states that the Depart
ment has energetically worked through
the eradication Of disease and the de-
velopment OF stock raising to increase
the food supply. He recommends the
Inauguration OF a vigorous campaign
against tuberculosis in hogs and cat
tie, which, he estimates, is causing an
nual losses in the United States Of
100000
The report states that the secret Of
continuing to feed the world lies in
the expansion by the American people
Of the acreage OF titled lands. Food
crops should be stabilized and better
regulated. he declares Crops should
be rotated scientifically, the Secretary
declares, and the entire business Of
tilling the soil should be placed on a
more scientific basis.
A marked improvement in the quail
ity OF foods and drugs offered the pub
lie has been brought about through
rigorous enforcement of the food and
Drugs act, the report says.

NEW U.soAT NOTE MAY BE SENT.
Washington Stirred BY Activities OF
German Submarines.

Washington.-More definite infor.
nation as to the facts involved In
recent activities by German sub
marines has brought the situation to
a point where a new note TO Germany,
designed to clear up any doubt as
20 the Interpretation Of the Berlin
Governments submarine pledges to
the United States, appears to be
among the possibilities Of the near
future.
President Wilson has given careful
attention to the evidence in the cases
Of several Of the vessels recently at.
tackled, but has given no indication OF
what his decision will be. II was
stated positively that no course had
been decided upon, but beyond this
and a relteration that the American
Government had not in any way al.
tered its stand on the submarine
question. officials declined to make
any comment.
The cases in the forefront OF con.
sideration are those of the British
steamers Arabia and Marina, both Of
which, Germany contends, were be-
lieved to be transports in the naval
service OF the Allies. During the dav
official information reached the State
Department establishing that the
Marina, on which six Americans were
lost. was in no sense a transport, and
an inquiry was addressed to Great
Britain for information as to the act,
ual status OF the Arabia.

FLAUNT BANNER IN
PRESIDENTS FACE
The Suffragists Carry Out Care
fully Planned Stunt.
PRESIDENT GIVEN OVATION
President Wilson Merely Smiles and
Goes On With His Speech, While
aPage Pulls Down the OF.
fensive Banner.

Washington. - President Wilson's
address to Congress was marked by a
woman suffrage coup in the galleries
the first real show of organized
miltancy in the capital-and by a
great demonstration of congratulatiOn
to the President upon his reelection,
in which many Republicans Joined
with the Democrats.
After acknowledging the prolonged
cheers and applause which greeted his
entry to the hall of the House, the
President launched into his address,
reviewing recommendations for rail-
act, and had passed to his recommen-
dations for a broader government for
Porto Rico. He was just about to be-
gin a sentence: The present laws
governing the island and regulating
the rights and privileges of its peo-
pie are not just" when over the rail
Of the gallery, where sat party Of
woman suffrage leaders, there fluttered
down above the heads of an amazed
assemblage Of senators and represen.
tatives a silken banner of suffrage yell
low, bearing in great black letters the
inscription:
president Wilson, what will you do
for woman suffrage?"
The suffragists said afterward, It
was their protest against the Presi-
dents plea with Congress for broader
suffrage for the men of Porto Rico
while he did not mention their own
cause in his address.
Wilson Merely Smiled.
As the banner rippled down the suf-
fragists sat smiling and unperturbed
watching the effect. A diminutive
page. raised on the arms OF men d.
rectly under the gallery, grasped the
edge Of the banner and snatched It
down. President Wilson, attracted by
the stir, looked up from his reading,
and apparently taking in the situation
at a glance. smiled broadly, and with
out hesitation or interruption turned
his eyes back to his manuscript and
continued his address to It and with.
out further demonstrations
Policemen and gallery guards
scurried to where the women were
seated, but contented themselves with
watching the party, as II to prevent a
further outbreak.
When the joint session was over the
suffragists filed out unmolested by the
police, who said they had no orders
other than to prevent any further in
fringement Of the rules of the House.
The banner remained trophy with
the sergeantat.arms.
Was Carefully Staged.
AS II turned out, the women had
their plans laid with precision and
sprung their coup almost on the sec
ond. Evidently in possession OF an
advance copy Of the Presidents ad
dress, they had timed the document
at the speed they expected he would
read, and anticipated he would reach
the Porto Rico section in eight min
utes.
Miss Mabel Vernon, of Nevada, who
heckled the President here at his
American Federation of Labor speech
last July and who smuggled the ban
ner into the House gallery under hei
coat, kept time and gave the signal fol
the unfurling Of the banner.

time. when suddenely came the news
that Won Mackensen, who had been
marshallng big army In Dobrudla'
had effected a crossing OF the Danube
at several points, one OF them at Zim'
nitza, turning the position the hou'
manians had taken up along the All
river after their retreat from the jul.
From then on events moved rapidly.
Won Mackensen, capturing Glurgiu on
the Danube, pressed up the railroad
line thence towards Bucharest, and
the armies from the west and north,
winning engagements that permitted
the influx of additional forces through
the passes, fought their way to the
line of the Argechu.
Argechu Battle Decisive.
This line was broken in q great bat
tie on December 3, in which the hrst
Roumanian Army was badly defeated
and began falling back eastward In
disorder. The Austro-German armies
were nearing the capital on three
sides, and at no point, except on the
south, meeting really effective resist
anco. Even to the south 1t was an
nounced on Tuesday that they had
worked within seven miles Of the capi-
tai, which had been reported under
bombardment for several days, and It's
evacuation by the Roumanlans was
hourly looked for.
In entering Bucharest, the armies OF
the Central Powers have taken their
fourth Entente capital. Early In the
war; King Albert and the Belgian Gov
ernment were forced out of Brussels,
and last year King Peter OF Serbia
and King Nicholas Of Montenegro were
successively compelled to give up their
capitals to the Teutonic invaders. Now
the process has been repeated In the
case Of King Ferdinand of Roumania.
Bucharest Well Fortified.
Bucharest, before the present war
relegated old-fashloned fortlacations
to the scrap heap, was considered ex'
tremely well defended by its outlying
works, which comprised is fortihca-
tions OF the first class and many re-
doubts and batteries. Aside from
Paris, II was accounted probably the
largest military camp in the world,
capable of accommodating 100000
men.
