Judging from this analysis as wei as from others which also place the nutritave quality of rabbit meat aheat of that of other meats, we can read

Hooverizing in food stuffs is the watchword at the present time but very seldom have we seen the rabbit mentioned as source of meat supply, while in the odd countries (especially England, France and Belgium, it is great source of income for the work. ing people. 1t is said of 2elsiam (prior to the war) that a great DOT tion of the working people paid their rents by raising Belgian hares and shipping them to the London market in fact it is claimed by some writers that as much as 12,O00 900 worth was produced each year, while France produced 100,000,0O0 rabbits annually. Why with our continuous cry for more meat has not some one of the thous- ands of breeders in this country cham pioned the lowly rabbit. The writer Is raising few here in Alaska for his own pleasure and partial meat supply, and for our Thanksgiving turkey killed young Flemish giant rabbit (stagged when three months old) which tipped the scales when ready for the pot at five pounds and was only six months old. Rabbits can be bred at six months of age and will easily produce 150 pounds of most delicious meat in year. In a report issued by pr. Raebiger head of the meteorological department or the chamber of agriculture for Saxony, he gives the following analysis of five meats as regards nourishing ouali- ties:

GO AFTER FOOD HOGS

It probably will have been found to
have existed since the American
steamer Algonquin was sunk last
Wednesday.
The state of armed neutrality" in
which this government was placed
by the president continues, although
it apparently has failed of its object
to prevent sinking Of such ships as
the LacOnia, Algonquin, the City of
Memphis, the Illinois and the Vigi-
lancia.
That the president, as his next
step, would call congress in extra
session even before its scheduled
meeting date, April 16, was doomed
likely by some, though the pTepOnd-
Grant view was that he would have
them assemble the 18th, then inform
them that a state Of war had existed
since March Is and ask real war
measures.
It was expected Wilson would con-
suit his premier and other authOTi-
ties during the day. And having
broad war power already, according
to legal experts, it is regarded prob
able that he may take even stronger
protective means than merely arma-
ment Of American merchantmen.
The navy may be called upon to
take a vigorous hand, searching out
and destroying submarines.
Any call for an army undoubtedly
will await full authorization from
congress under a declaration Of war.
The messages thus far at hand left
but little hope that no American lives
aad been sacrificed.
Despite the fact that-the United
States is nearer a call to arms to-
day, there is unruffled calm in Wash
ngton, not only among officials but
