CAUSE Of THE RISE
1NPR|CE Of MEATS
Experts Assert the Production
Has Not Kept Pace With
the Demands.
DISEASE AND EXPOSURE
ENTAIL LOSS OF STOCK
Increased Cost Not Confined to
United States-Felt in Every
Part of World.

That between two million and three
million cattle have died of disease and
exposure in the United States each
wear since 1900 is the assertion made
in an exhaustive report on the meat
situation, in the preparation of which
specialists of the Department of Agrl-
culture have been engaged for several
months The report also asserts that
annual losses of sheep in the sixteen
wears since 1900 have been even great
er. while the yearly loss of hogs from
disease and other causes has varied
from 100000 in 1904 to 100000 in
1914.
The investigation of which this re-
port is the outcome was undertaken in
the effort to determine the cause OF the
rapidly advancing cost of meat. The
specialists report it has been found the
principal cause for constantly adVanc-
ing prices of all kinds of meat is the
fact that production has not kept pace
with demand due to world increases OIL
population, and that increased prices
have not affected the United States
alone, but have been felt in every part
of the world.

Scouts Give Up Prize.

This event was not without its touch
ing incident. 1t was during the award
ing of the prize winners In this parade
when it was called to the judges at
tention that little Miss Dorothy Ban
del, who was to be the goddess Of lib
erty'' in the procession. was unable to
participate because of illness. The
parents. knowing the child was looking
forward to wearing her costume and
trying for one of the numerous prizes,
fixed her a pedestal on her porch,
where she stood with torch in hand
watching the parade she should have
been in.
She was still standing on her pedes-
tai watching the other participants
get their awards when her absence was
called to the judges attention-but too
late. All the prizes had been given out.
During the intermission which fol-
lowed, Hugh Johnson of Troop 80, Boy
Scouts, whose troop won the organiZa-
tion drill prize, told the presiding Off
Ger that the scouts had unanimously
agreed to transfer their prize over to
Goddess" Dorothy Banded. This an
nouncement was greeted by a rousing
cheer. The band lined up and the
scouts fell in line behind them. Hugh
Johnson was escorted with his fellow
scouts to make the presentation.

Extract From Report.

This country" the report says lis
participating in a worldwide move
ment and it is not expected the situa-
ton will undergo any radical change in
the immediate future. ON the Other
hand. it is believed there will be
gradual growth and expansion in the
worlds production of beef mutton and
pork which may or may not equal the
rate of increase of the meat-eating
population.
I'm America this gradual expansion
appears to have begun already Be
tween 1907 and 1913 there was
marked decline in the number of cat
tie in the country but in the last two
years this has not only stopped, but
has given way to perceptible in
crease. The estimated number on
farms and ranges January l, 1916. 61.-
AL 900, is, however. still much below
the corresponding figure for 1907. H.
$4,000. With the exception of
temporary checks due to losses from
hog cholera, there has been in recent
years persistent increase in the pro-
ductioh of swine. January /, 1916, the
number in the country was estimated a
100000, as compared with 5S,200,000
in April. 1910. On the other hand,
the number of sheep declined during
this period from 52,500,000 in 1910 to
40 200, 900 in 1916. AS the decrease, how
ever. is not sufficient to offset the in
crease in cattle and swine, it may be
said that the total production of meat
in the United States is increasing, but
that this increase is not yet proper
tionate to the growth in population.

Enormous Losses a Factor.

The available supply of meat
would be much greater If it were not
for the enormous losses caused by
disease and exposure" says the re-
port Since 1900 it is estimated that
from 100000 to 1,475,000 cattle have
died each year from disease and from
100000 to 100000 from exposure With
sheep the losses from disease have
been about the same, but from ex-
posture much larger.
With swine the relative prevalence
of hog cholera is perhaps the determin-
ing factor in the annual loss In 1904
this was as low as 1900, 900, but in 1914
it amounted to 100000 If these
100000 hogs had been saved they
would have produced enough meat to
furnish every family in the United
States with forty pounds of pork"
Despite these facts the United States
remains the greatest meat-eatng as
well as the greatest meat producing
nation in the world. Approximately
twice as much meat is consumed in
this country as in Germany before the
war. and the total normal consumption
in Russia, Great Britain and France is
less than in Germany. The per capita
consumption is also far greater in this
country than anywhere else with the
exception of Australia and New Zea-
land

GERMANS LEARN
new LANGUAGES

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 1.-The
Germans have been administering
things in Belgium SO long now that
most of them have acquired a work
able knowledge of the various langu.
ages that prevail there. Accordingly
the chief authorities in Brussels have
issued new and drastic language regu
lations for all their subordinates.
In towns or districts in which the
Flemish language preponderates, 1t is
in future to be used solely both in
spoken communications and in official
acts, letters and notifications. The
only exceptions to this rule permit
French to be used when a reply has
been specifically requested in that
language, or when the original letter
of inquiry was in French
In Greater Brussels the authorities
may make use of either French or
Flemish, yet from the first of January,
1917, all communications from author
tiles of the various sections Of Brus-
sells to the outlying Flemish districts
must be in Flemih. All notifications
and public notices are to be issued in
Flemish. with French translations ac-
companying them when desirable.
German is to be allowed only in sec
tons of Belgium where it prevails as
the language of the country"
