Saved from an Unheroic End.

Thirty-seven game cocks, val
ued at $4,000 and captured in g
raid on cooking main near Pitts
burg, were destined for an un
heroic end in the form Of a chick
Ell stew until game cock experts
interviewed with a warning. The
valuable chickens had been turn
ed over to the Humane Society
which planned to kill them and
give the broth from them to the
Pittsburg hospitals.
Broth made from these birds
might be fatal to patients, said
Andrew Fox, a game cock expert
"The game cocks are fed four
kinds of dope, anyone of which
would make them unfit, for eating
purposes. One of the things that
is put in pone bread baked especl-
ally for fighting birds is arsenic.
If the meat of one of these birds
were given to a patient with a
weak heart it would mean death. =
The meat from game cocks is
worthless. other chicken fancicrs
agreed. &
So the end of the $4,000 worth
of chickens is not yet in sight, the
Humane Society having abandon
ed its charitable plank.

GET So, 100000 FOR 1916 WOOL
The Missouri Output for All
Counties Was 1855, $50
Pounds.

jefferson City, March 24.-Thc
wool output of Missouri's ia
counties for 1916 amounted to
2, ,636, $50 pounds when the yield
had been secured. This quantl-
ty had a Boston market value of
50, ,1O9, 900, at eighty cents
pound, Commissioner William II.
Lewis of the bureau of labor sta
tistics announced. The European
war made wool worth more
pound than has been the ease in
any year since the Civil War.
1t took $4,000 sheep to supply
the 1916 output of Missouri wool
and 1,O5O,O Missouri sheep to
produce the 1915 crop. High
market prices of sheep and lambs
and an increased demand caused
Missouri farmers in the latter
part of 1915 and in early 1916 to
market many more carloads than
in previous years. On January 1.
1917, there were estimated. to be

| New York, March Peace i
SO near that the world cannot zee
it because Of it's proximity saya
I'D. Levine, foreign editor Ut the
New York Tribune. The internal
collapse Of the Central Powers
through revolution or the deser-
tion Of Prussia by Austria Hun
gary and South Germany are two
probable developments in the in
ternational situation Of the next
few weeks. Either Of the two
would pave q way for peace.
Both are the results Of the colos-
sal Russian revolution. L
The effect of the Russian up-
heaval on the Teuton nations is
bound to be tremendous. The
leading motive in the German ex-
position of the cause and origin
Of the war. has been the peril Of
czarisln. It was Russia aggres.
sion that caused the war, Russian
autocracy that menaced the peace
Of Europe, Russian barbarian
that plotted to destroy civilized
humanity, according to the argu-
ments Of the kaiser and his obed-
lent kulturtager. MoreQyer,
such were also the sentiments Of
the masses which were led to be-
lieve that Germany was the VIC
tim of czarism.
The German state of mind is
thrown into a chaotic condition
by this startling revelation. The
Russian revolntionaries whom the
Teuton masses supported morally
the people with whom they SYM
pathized as the victim of a cor
rupt and despotic autocracy, have
now turned upon them with all
the ferocity of a young and ard
ent giant.
Emperor Charles is by no
blind instrument Of the
Prussian monarch. Since has as
cended the Austrian throne he re-
peatedly demonstrated his inde-
pendence and his disinclination
to follow the dictates Of Ger
many There have never been so
many conferences between Aus
trian and Prussian statesmen as
in the last few months. The hur-
lied visits that the German chan
,ellor is frequently paying to Vi
emma are excellent proof Of some
,ubterranean anti-Prussian activ-
ties in the Austrian court.
Practically all the former high
officials, who We're in
close touch with Prussia, have
been dismissed by the new ruler.
There can be no doubt that he re-
alizes the certainty Of the Central
covers defeat. There is also no
loubt that he appreciates that
hat spells the end of Austria in
10 uncertain words. Austria
Iungary's only hope lies in de-
erting Prussia. Recent events
ave demonstrated that Emperor
;harles was working in this di-
ection.

q. s. stops Relief Work in

Washington, D. G., March a.
American relief workers in Bel.

Brand Whitlock have been for.
mally withdrawn from Belgium.
Official announcement to this ef-
feet was made at the State De-
Epartmcnt this morning.
The American relief commits
sioners will be replaced as far as
possible by members Of a joint
neutral commission largely un-
der the supervision OF Dutch mil.
itary officials. Brand Whitlock

ing his duties as minister at the
temporary Belgian capital. y.
Secretary Lansing, at the direc.
ton Of President Wilson, sent u
note to the Netherlands, accept
ing its offer to take over the work
OF the commission.
The action Of the President in
ordering the Americans out was
based on the belief that nothing
was to be gained by keeping
Americans longer in territory oc-
cupied by German troops in Bel
GUM and Northern France. 1t is
desired, for humanitarian rea
sons, however, that the work Of
the commission be continued.

WAR HAS SHOWN WASTE
IN DRINK MANUFACTURE.
Alcoholic Beverages Reduce Food
Supply, Dr.. N. p Ravenel

1.-The war in Europe has
brought many facts to our atten-
tion, or has given us new ways of
looking at old things. One Of the
most remarkable developments is
the prohibition or limitation Of al
coholic drinks, and the manufac-
ture of alcoholic beverages" DR..
NJ. P. Ravenel Of the department
Of preventive medicine of the In
ivcrsity of Missouri declares.
"No doubt much of this came
about because of the recognized
i'll effects of alcohol on the sol
dicrs. Another phase Of the
question is rapidly forcing itself
on all the countries at war, name
ly, the useless waste of food
stuffs through the manufacture
Of these beverages.
"The British Government has
issued an order reducing the
qauntity of beer to 10 per cent Of
the output of last year. In dis
cussing what this means, the food
controller shows that the produc-
ton of the preceding year
amounted to 26 million barrels,
which required 286,O00 tons Of
barley, $4,000 tons of sugar, 49,
500 tons of grits, all of this ma
terial being taken from grains
used in the manufacture Of breads
and porridges. In addition to
this, the hauling of the raw pro-
duct, and also of the furnished
product, placed tax on the
transportation facilities which
are now needed for the hauling of
foods and munitions.
"It will set free for the use of
the farmer large amount ofama
tcrial which can be used for the
feeding of cattle, because when
barley is milled instead of malt
ed, it gives so per cent of flour
which, is used for human food.
and at least 40 per cent OF the
named 'millers' offals,
which is used for cattle feed.
"In addition, we should take
into consideration the details of
the labor required in the hand
ling and manufacture of this
enormous quantity Of material.
these figures to the
United States, the y. $. Internal
Revenue Office shows that in the
City of New York alone there are
approximately s million barrels
of beer made annually, each one
containing thirty-onc gallons.
This represents the use of 127,Wo
tons of harley, 5000 tons OF
sugar and 1900 tons of grits,
most of which is wasted.
"Will not the time soon come
when prohibition movement ia
America will be hastened to he
demanded for foodg The present
cost of high living and the rap
idly rising prices in food stuff>
make this a real problem for us
to consider. Are not people now
ready to demand more bread
