dents of sixteen universities, colleges
and normal schools in Indiana, and

the high school graduates.
The letter Is being sent to all young
men and women who completed their
high school courses last June and asks
their cooperation with the college Of

better prepared to take their places in

men and women in war work or-if
the war is over when they reach the
CONSUMPTION age-that they may be the
better fitted for reconstruction work.
For young men and women who are
not Immediately called into some form
OF military service, attendance at some
college or university, in order to re-
ceive the training which will fit them
more adequately for national service,

French Livestock Shrinks
Hoover's Bureau Shows Def
cheney u. S. Must Make Up

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The Food
Administration to-day made public fig
ures received directly from the French
government showing the decrease Of
livestock in France as result Of the
war.
On December 81. 1916, according to
the French figures. cattle had decreased
to q total of 1884 900, as compared
with l4,sO7,OO in 1918, or 1915 per
cent: sheep decreased from l6,2l3,0O0
in 1913 TO lO,S45,000 on December 81
last, or 80 per cent; swine decreased
from 7,O4S,000 to 1851 800, or 3S per
cent.
The per capita consumption per an
mum OF meat in France at the present
is estimated by the French government
at 6961 pounds of beef, ll.16 pounds of
mutton and 2l.4s pounds of pork,
The French figures emphasize the
recent statement Of the United States
Food Administration that the nations
of Europe are rapidly depicting their
livestock and must depend largely upon
the United States for their meat and
dairy products after the war.

Food Census
Blanks Distributed
Reports on the Stock on
Hand Here Are Due in
Ten Days

Preliminary TO the national food IN
ventory, blanks were distributed yes
terday to dealers in foodstufs and
warehouse proprietors in the forty
three communities whose reports are
TO form the basis of calculations. New
York is the only city where retailers
are included in the food census.
Eighteen foods and feeds are emu
merated on the blanks wherein the re-
cipients are to inscribe the amount
each has on hand. Another form, list
ing 1O3 commodities, was distributed,
to be filed out after crops have been
harvested.
All inventory reports are to be fled
with the Bureau Of Markets of the De
partment of Agriculture within ten
days. Manufacturers and wholesalers
agreed that the period was far too
short An extension of thirty days VIII
be granted, however, upon application
10 the Secretary Of Agriculture.
DR.. Lucien T. Brown, of the Depart
ment of Health, who has charge of col
lecting the figures in New York, is con-
fident that the reports of retailers VIII
be ready by Tuesday. Forty-slX IN
spectors from the Department OF
Health have been assigned to the re-
tail census to make sure that no mis-
take is made in filing returns. The
blanks will be collected by patrolmen.
Large concerns, such as manufactur-
ing plants and warehouses, will make
their returns direct to Washington. All
supplies in cold Storage will be in
cluded. except those in private COM
partments, which are to be reported by
the owners. More than one hundred
classifications of retailers are subject
TO the rules of the food census. Faili
ure to comply with the order may be
punished by a years Imprisonment, a
fine or 1000 or both.
John J. Dillon, State Commissioner
of Food and Markets, said that if the
inventory were made a monthly affair
il would be of immense value in pro-
viding information for the fixing OF
prices. Unless it were repeated at
about that interval, he said, not much
good could be derived from il.

Morgan Files
Answer in
Sl6O,oOO,OOO Suit
Ex-Directors of the New
Haven Deny Wasting
Millions
BY BRIGGS

Answers in the suits brought by five
shareholders of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad, to compel
former directors and officials Of the
road to make restitution of $3.50, O0O,-
600, were filed in the Federal Court
yesterday by the executors Of the es-
tate of the late j. Pierpont Morgan and
the individual defendants.
The answers, while admitting part Of
the complainants' allegations, present
varied and lengthy reasons in support
Of their disclaimer of liability.
The compliments are Edwin Adams.
julius S. Morse, George c. Flax, James
+, Ray and Mary NJ. Clark. Their suit,
brought last December, asks hat the
court hold the directors and officers OF
the road personally liable for he mill
ions dissipated during their regime.
The answers Sled yesterday were
those of J. Pierpont Morgan, Herbert
l.. Satterlee, William p. Hamilton and
Lewis Cass Ledyard, as executors OF
the will of the late J. Pierpont Morgan,
and of William Rockefeller, Charles NJ.
Pratt and Lewis Cass Ledyard, as in
dividual defendants. The grounds on
which they ask discontinuance Of the
suit are practically the same in each
answer.
The defendants admit that the money
and credit of the railroad were used in
the purchase of stock bonds and Sc
curities or properties of certain OF the
corporations named in the suit. They
give, however, as their chief reason for
not having brought suit for restitution
during their occupancy of the Offices Of
directors and other officials of the road
that at a meeting of the shareholders,
at which more than 100000 shares of
stock were represented, it was almost
unanimously voted not TO bring the
suits.
When the plaintiffs in the present
action first demanded that restitution
suits be instituted against the indi-
vidual members of the beard of direc-
tors to hold them personally respn-
sible the suestions at issue were sub
mitted TO counsel. On their advice
that the suits would fail and only re-
suit in great loss of money to the
shareholders, the answers state, it was
decided not to bring them.

Coal Barge Merger Urged

BOSTON, Aug. 3l.-A plan to place
under one directing head the control
and operation of all the tugs and
barges in the New England coal service
was laid before the Federal Shipping
Board by the New England Coal Com
mittee to-day. Within a reasonable
time, the committee pointed out, this
single control should add % per cent
to carrying capacity, there would be
an important gain in longer unbroken
voyages, tugs would tow TO full ca
pacity and smaller tugs would be used
on the protected trips, while the ocean
going tugs would be saved for outside
work.
The organization of such a coastwise
control would be simple, according TO
the committee, requiring only Offices in
New York, Philadelphia and this city
and representatives at important I'M
loading points.

14-Oz. Bread at Scents
Impossible, Says Hoover

the country. expressed the opinion that
with wheat at 1920 the fve-cent loaf
was not possible.
"The bakers cannot determine the
cost of bread on the wheat basis said
Mr.. Ward. THE price Of bread de-
ponds on the price of -four. That Is
established by the millers. When the
millers have determined the milling
cost and estimated the prices they can
get for their products we get our -four
quotations, butNI don't see how four
teen-ounce loaf can be furnished with
wheat at $500.
Saws Bread Is Cheapest Food
Bread to-day is the cheapest FOOD
on the market. Compare the price OF
bread with other foodstuffs and it can
readily be seen that the bakers are not
making anything approaching fancy
prices.
From June. 1914, until June, 1917
-four jumped two and half times in
value. and the price of bread TO the
customer has not jumped in proportion.
The bakers have striven TO give the
customer the best possible prices.
Before June. 1914, il was possible
to bake a fourteen or fifteen ounce
loaf for cents. Because of the al
most trebled cost of -four the best we
can do is to furnish an eighteen-ounce
loaf for 10 cents.
Other large bakers said that they did
not see how. with wheat at $3.50
bushel. New York could hope for the
scent loaf. However, one baker, un-
willing to be quoted, said that if the
price of -four falls just little there is
q strong possibility that the weight Of
the 10-cent loaves will be increased.
Flour Makers Satisfied
Agents of big flour concerns ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with
the price fixed on wheat. George
Zabrinsky, agent for the Pillsbury Flour
Company, said he thought the price OF
$500 bushel for wheat was fair.
"Of course" explained Mr.. Zabrinsky,
at would be very hard for the food
administration TO agree on price that
would meet the demands of every one
The farmer may complain that the
price is TOO low, while the baker will
make a counter claim that 1t is TOO
high. However, as far as ! can see, the
price is fair TO all concerned
Flour should sell for from Sll.25 to
s11.5O per barrel, counting about i've
bushels to the barrel" continued Mr.
Zabrinsky. 81 mean that this price
should prevail for the best spring pat
ent -four. The fixing of the price will
clear the situation, and soon the
farmer. miller and retailer Will adapt
themselves to the new conditions.
Asked on what he based his price OF
SLIPS, Mr.. Zabrinsky explained: The
millers have promised the government
that they will accept as maximum
profit % cents on every barrel Of -four
thew handle. This % cents added 10
the approximate price of five bushels
of wheat allows me 10 arrive at my
figures As matter of fact, he add
ed. they are only getting 10 and 10
cents barrel
J. Sims, agent Of the Hecker-Jones-
Jewell Milling Company, at his oflce
in the Produce Exchange, refused TO
discuss the -four situation except to
say that he did not think this was the
time for any expression OF private
opinion on regulation by the govern
ment.
