INCREASED CROPS
CAN BALK U-B0kT
Wheat, Hogs and Ships Great
Need of Allies.

Washington, Oct. 26.-In state
nent reviewing the world food situa-
ion. Food Administrator Hoover said
he fight against the submarine would

Ia could stimulate production and ef-
ect economies go as to feed the allies
rom this continent without sending
l ship farther afeld than the Ameri-
ian Atlantic seaboard.
Ships, wheat and hogs are the great
needs emphasized by Mr.. Hoover. He
said deepest concern had been caused
~ the fact that in spite Of high prices
his country's pork CONSUMPTION had
increased during the war until produc-
ion had been outstripped; situation
hat must be changed.
"If we discontinue exports" Mr..
Hoover added, 1--WE will move the Ger
nan line from France to the Atlantic
,eaboard. Pork PREDICTS have an in
iuence in this present world situation
wider than one would ordinarily at
tribute to them. The human body
must have a certain amount of fat;
We must increase production OF hogs
Il we are to answer the worlds crav-
ng.
1.-THE production of fats is critical
necessity for the preservation of these
people (the anies) and the mainten-
ance OF their constancy in the war.
Every pound of fat is as sure of serv-
ice as every bullet, and every hog is
Of greater value to the winning Of this
war than a she'll"
AS to wheat, the administrator said
he allies deficiency of production is
10000, 600 bushels, with imports OF
577,700,000 bushels required to main
tain normal consumption. He esti-
mated the aggregate American. Crna-
Han, Australian, Iniian and Argentine
export surplus at 77o,00o,GG0 bushels,
but pointed out that lack Of shipping
made it necessary for this country
and Canada to bear the burden of
meeting the allies deficit.

NATIONAL ARMY MEN

Washington, Oct. 26-Half a mil

This has been decided by the gen.
sral staff
OF the $4,000 citizen soldiers first
called approximately 100000 have been
ordered or will be ordered to national
guard divisions TO fill these commands
@ war strength. This leaves about
half a million selected men to be sent
% France to undergo further training
pack of the trenches. According to
Information obtained from high army
officials it is believed that two months
intensive training in France viii fit
he national army men for service
against the Germans.
BY January l more than half mil
ion national guardsmen will be in
France under General Pers ing. These
added to his force of regulars and the
500 600 men of the national army,
Pershing will have under his COM
nand more than a million men by
February l.
The national guardsmen and the
national army men, with two months
raining in France, will be ready to
take their places on the firing line by
The last of March or the first Of April.
Strategists at the war college and

push the Germans out of France and
BELGIUM in a big spring drive.
The only thing that might prevent
the arrival of the big American ar
mics by February l is the lack OF
transportation. The United states
shipping board, it is unders+o God, has
assured the war department that there
will be enough ships to get the ex-
pe1itionary forces from the United
States to French soil.
When the men of the national army
are shipped to France their places viii
be taken by the men of the second
call. This call is expected just before
February /. 1t will be for 100000
men. 1t would be for million 49,

many.

BRIDGE FALLS; TWO KILLED
Philadelphia City Inspector and La
borer Buried in Debris.


Philadelphia, Oct. 26.-Two persons
were killed and several injured in the
collapse of the Bensalom bridge over
the Pennypack creek, in the far
northern section Of the city.
The dead are: Albert Smith, city in
spector. bureau of surveys; Louis
Verga. twenty-five, Bustleton, laborer.
The bridge is a concrete structure
of three spans, two of which are sixty
feet long and the third, in the center,
100 feet in length. The structure, not
yet completed, is situated beyond the
end of the northeast boulevard be-
tween Bustleton and Holmesburg.
The center span collapsed without
warning to the score or more men at
work about the bridge. Smith. who
was watching the construction work
was carried down with the mass OF
concrete and steel, and, with Nerga.
was buried beneath tons of debris.
The cause of the collapse is n7off1-
cfally attributed to the action of the
workmen in placing sections of the
center span on the concrete bases be-
fore the latter were sufficiently hard
ened TO support them. When addl-
tional concrete and steel forms were
placed in position. the entire span
fell
