Both Allied and Central Nations
Will Face Serious Problem
After End of War.
GREAT LOSSES IN PRODUCTION

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
VIENNA, March l6-None too plentiful
before the war. meat is likely 20 become
real luxury in Europe after peace Is
declared and remain so for consider
able time until stock-breedlng has pro-
gressed on an immense scale.
The central power group believes II will
find itself better off than the entente
group in this respect. but both groups
will certinly find It a serious problem

IL is estimated the entente powers will
be short 7,575,OoO head of meat animals
while the central group. owing TO the ter
ritortes occupied by their armies. would
In that time lose only 1900, 900 head
through over-consumptlon due TO the war
Commenting upon the situation the
Paris Revue Des Deux Mondes points
out that France lost 20 per cent of It's
meat animal stock by the occupation Of
ten departments OF the Germans. France
lost through this 10000 horned cattle

Of 4lI,OOO tons.
The live stock OF Belgium also was
lost by the entente. this being estimated
TO amount to about 1000, 600 heads of cat
tie, 100000 sheep and over 100000 pigs
Germany gained thus the meat produc-

countries may be hard to understand in
the light of these conditions. But the
following explanation OF this fact is
given here. Pork Is the favorite meat OF

stock Of Europe, the Balkan states and
the Ottoman empire not included, stood

Mrs. Baker are leaving Keokuk.. a4s

Keolxuk and sent him call. which
was accepted after due deliberation.
Rev. Baker came to Keokuk from
