Importation of luxurieS into the
United States have been materially
reduced by the war. A compllauoil
by the National City Bank or Ne"
York shows that the quantities now
being imported of the articles usual
ly classed as s1uxuries" are mater
daily below those of the correspond
ing dates preceding the war. The
values of the total of luxuries inn
ported in the fiscal year 1911 is some
what less than in the fiscal year
1914, and as prices have been great
ly advanced 1t is quite apparent that
the quantity being imported is much
below that of the pre-war period.
Measured by values alone the articles
usually classed as 'luxuries'' fell be-
low $20o,0D0,000 in the fiscal year
1917, while in 1914 the value of the
same articles imported aggregated
$313, 900, and as in many cases
the prices are now from 33 per cent.
TO SO. per cent. higher than in 1914
it will be seen that the quantities nave
been materially reduced.
The imported articles which may
be properly classed as '1uxuries" are
extremely numerous. scores of impor-
tant articles and hundreds OF the
minor classes. but there are a few
important classes or groups which are
readily recognized. Laces and en-
broideries, for example, imported in
1917 are but about one-half in value
of those imported in 1914. In cot
ton laces alone the value imported
In 1914 was $33,866, 900 and in 1917
s16,297,000, while in laces of silk
and fibers the 1917 value is also be-
low that of 1914. Art works as an
other example. which amounted TO

FURTHER RULINGS BY
 PROVOST MARSHAL
MEMORANDUM:

MEMORANDUM: M
 The following telegram is published for the information and guidance of all concerned.
 Washington D. c. August 2o- Governor of Arkansas.
 Little Rock Ark,
 Number thirty seven fifteen. In re- sponse to inquiries from many dis triets boards the secretary of war di- rects that the following information be furnished district boards.
 First. The President will not at this time make any determination of what industries are to be considered neees- sary to the maintenance of the mili- tary establishment, the effective opera tion of the military forces or the main- tenance 0 fthe national interests dur ing the emergency for the purpose of preferring those industries as outlined in section forty four regulations. Ex- eept for the necessity of seeing to the retention of administrative or nnechan- ical specialists, 1t is not thought that the present draft will. so materially af-t feet the gross labor supply of any in- dustry, considered nationally, as to warrant any general adjustment of la Dor supply in favor of some industries and at the expense of others. For this reason it is deemed best to make a statement of preferred industries will be made by the district boards after consideration of the industrial situa- ton in their localities.
 Second. The issue of fact as to whether any industry is engaged in work necessary to the successful oper- ation of the military forces or the maintenance of the military establish ment is capable of being determined locally by affidavit proof or. inspection by the district board and inquiries by district boards as to whether partieu- lar industries are so engaged ought to be answered by executive departments in Washington.
 Third. In short, the cases in dis trict boards present local industrial problems which can and ought to be solved by those boards on information available to them in their locality.

Danger Of Undcrfeedirq.

Tn" main disadvantages OF feeding
moist mash are the danger of under
feeding and the possibility of the mix
ture souring before the birds clean II
up. The experienced fceaWNwill have
little trouble of this kind. If plenty of
trough room is not provided the strong
est birds get a full feed and the weak
err one little or nothing. Again. the
entire flock may be undcrfcd until the
feeder gains sufficient experience to
know what his birds require for "A fun
meal. Many inexperienced feeders will
be apt to give too much mash and
neglect to remove ii after the birds
have filled NJ. This generally results
in their eating sour mash. with the
consequent digestive disorders. Mash
that is not consumed in 30 minutes
should be removed at once
