WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-With an
increase Of $50 percent in exports
of meats since the outbreak of the
war and with a constantly greater
proportion Of her grain crops leaving
the country, America is assuming an
even greater share Of the burden OF
feeding stricken Europe.
This, in the wake of short crops.
is given by government officials as
one of the foremost reasons for high
prices on food stuffs.
During the first eight months OF
this year-endtDg with September l
the United States has shipped
abroad more tLan $200.0O0.000 worth
OF meats and dairy products. This
presages a total expectation of these
products for the year of nearly a
third of q billion dollars. During the
same eight months period Of 1914
just preceding the outbreak Of the
war, these exports totalled but $s,-
100000.
Even with = season Ct unusually
poor crops in practically every grain.

" than at any time during the period
OF the war and even before, in its
history. Expectation of the six major

count Hughes had a lead Of 1O,706 IN

dicate a lead of 3,541 for Wilson in the
