esRMANYs FOOD TROUBLES
Meat Hard to Get But Grain Prospects
Good ttft


Berlin, June 2.-For the first
time since the outbreak of the war
meat is hard to obtain in the capital
and larger cities of the German En-
pire. Meat lines have grown as
long as the butter and milk lines
and those forming them must some
times wait for hours before they can
procure the quota allotted by their
cards. Responsible for this condition
are the heavy demands made upon the
meat supply by the army, an almost
total cessation Of imports and the gov
ernments new policy of discouraging
the slaughtering of meat animals be-
fore fattening has given them their
maximum butcher weight.
Both the government and the own
ers of stock say that a check in butch
ering now will in about three months
add from twenty to twenty-five per
centto the available meat supply. A
fine stand OF grass and the arrival OF
more indian corn from Rumania are
counted upon to produce this improve
ment.
Prospects for Q good pork production
are said 70 be excellent. The question
NOW is whether6n will be possible to
obtain the 'foodstiIffs necessary to bring
this years animals to a good weight.
| An Improvement in the pork market
would case the shortage of fat in the
empire which is felt almost more than
the shortage of meat There has been
slight improvement in the milk and
butter situation, but it is considered
out of the question that these articles
will again be easily obtainable until
| several months otter the war.
Eggs have been rather plentiful this
season. In many cases they have beer
the principal food item. Fish also is
easily obtained, though lack OF fat
has robbed many OF the dishes pre-
| pared with them Of much nutriment.
The one bright ray in Germany's
! cupboard is the fact that the grain
| prospects for the present year are ex
| ceedingly good. Rye and winter whea
are well advanced and the spring crops
have been favored by timely rains this
spring and an early season. Potatoes
have been planted early and while az
yet little can be said on the croop out
look. there are those who say that GeI

With a fairly moist season in Jun
and dry weather in July and August

food problems-that of bread, whic
in its turn would help solve the mea
and fat situation by lessening the dc

RECALLS LEGISLATIVE BATTLE
Death of Fred 3. Livingston, Former
Vermonter, in Nevada.

Fred b. Livingston, once OF Burling-
ton and later of Morrisville, who died
last week in Nevada, where he owned
a mine. was a leading figure in one of
the hottest fights known in the Yer
mont legislature in many years. The
fight was the battle royal to remove
the State Agricultural college from
Burlington. Mr.. Livingston was rep
resentative from Morrisville and led
the fight to remove the college. He
and his insurgent friends didn't care
where the college was located. They
wanted to get it away from the Uni
versity and Burlington, and If they
could achieve that object it might be
located on Juniper lsland-or any
where else Rutland wanted the agri-
cultural college. and PERCY W. Gle
ment made personal guarantee of
$50 1000, for the institution if located in
Rutland, in the Senate chamber at
Montpelier under sensational circum-
stances. AS all the world knows, the
insurgents cause was lost. and the col
lege remains in Burlington even to
this day. But the Old Mill rocked as
if by earthquake shock, for time,
while the fight was at its hottest and
the result seemed in Burling.
