Millions Of Men Fighting Con-
sumo More Food and Cloth
Ing and Produce Nothing.

Twenty million men fighting In Eu-
rope. producing nothing, while consum-
ing enough food for 3O.000O00 men and
enough clothing for $4,000. 900, are be-
hind the high cost OF living in this
country. not Wall Street. Secretary Of
Commerce Redfield stated today.
THE world Is at war;" he said. 1T
Is probably within the truth to say that
2o.000o00 men of the most productive
ages are withdrawn from productive
work and are spending their time fight
ing. The world Is. therefore, short of
goods by the amount that these men
produce II they were working instead of
fighting.
ION the other hand, these men are
consuming much more than they would
consume IL they were working. Prob
ably II Ia true to say that each OF these
100000 men in peace wear out not over
three suits of clothes year. As a SOL
der In the trenches he is said to wear
out completely suit of clothes every
month. In other words. his consump-
ton of clothing is ut least four times as
for the 20.000.0 900 men $50. 000, 900 additional
sets Of clothing each year.
They Eat More, Too.
again the best authorities think these
we're exertion. consume at least one half
more food than they do in time of peace.
= Here then is an added consumption
equal TO the food regularly eaten by
10000, 900 persons.
TT is further true that factories In
all the belligerent countries that or
dlnarily produce goods for general use
are busy on war munitions. -Four
thousand such factories are SO engaged
~tn Great Britain alone. The same Is
true Of every belngerent country to
some degree. but to a very much
smaller degree, in our, own country.
The result is that at the time of the
greatest consumption the production Is
greatly reduced.
"In addition. 1t Is a fact that the
, from the markets of the world by the
war, hence her wheat Is not available
to feed the nations OF the West. Al
the same time II Is the fact that our
own crops or almost every kind are
shorter than for some years past.
Spending More in u. s.
1T need hardly say more, but 1t Is
perhaps fair to add that this country
Is prosperous as II never was before
and that this means that millions oil
men and women are spending more
than before. which is another way OF
saying that their demand Is greater
at time when the supply is less.
For all these reasons, which seem &c
me sound, there is nothing strange
about the advance in the cost of goods
and by goods mean foodstuffs al
we'll as other articles of commerce. i
is not. In my judgment. lacked up. II
Is on the whole the result of the ter
rible folly OF war;
Secretary Redfield expanded on the
increased expenditures Of this coun'
try to this extent:
IF each person in this country
spends 81 more a month because OF
our prosperity, 1t means an expendi
ture OF 31,200.0 100000 a year-mor'
than our war munitions exports"

prevailing idea was that he would
remain independent, with Republican
tendencies.
DR.. belmont Merrill Of Foxcroft,
who took part in the Republican con-
vention last week. said that he would
not pledge himself to support either
the Democratic or the Republican
ticket as q whole, in this campaign.
but should remain independent How
ever his tendencies were naturally
Republican.
E. NJ. Lawrence Of Lubec, who
was the Progressive candidate for
Congress in the special election in
the third district in 1918, and who
would have been that partys candidate
for governor. had a ticket been named
this year, told the committee that
he should remain Independent. but
felt that with his belief in the pro-
hibitory law and sentiment, he might
vote for the prohibitory candidate
for President in November.
Committeeman Gocdhue and Peavy
Of Waldo county were Independent
with Republican tendencies.
Others expressed themselves free
ly but 1t was evident that they would
vote as they pleased. next September
and not as Mr.. Vernon might die
