GROWTH IN POPULATION HAS CuTSTRIPPED FOOD SUPPLY Convincing Figures Shown by the De-
 partment of Agriculture.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The nations food supply has not kept pace with the growth in population, figures furnish ed today by the department of agricul- ture showed. The statistics cover the last 16 years, during which the popu- lation has grown about B per cent, and discloses that in foods constitut- ing about 75 per cent. of the country's s diet there has been decline in per capita production.
 Officials believe that despite this showing there is no danger of a food shortage.
 Secretary Houston in statement to- day said:
 'sWith all these agencies now avail able for improving agriculture, there is ground for optimism as to the abi1- ity of the nation not only to supply it. self with food but increasingly to meet the needs of the world"
 The output of meal and diary pro- ducts, which furnish 37 per cent. of the food that goes on the American ta- ble, fell from 24S.2 pounds for each person in 1895 to 219.6 in 1915. Cereals. which supply 31 per cent, declined from 43.9 bushels to 40.2. Potatoes re- mained al about the same ratio of pro = duction. but sweet potatoes increase about 50 per cent. per capita. Poultry products made slight gains.
 Production and consumption of fruit and vegetables has increased rapidly within the last few years and they con- stitute a larger and more important part of the permanent diet.

By Point of Order Against Confer ence Committee Fixing New Date.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Final action on the immigration bill was delay ed in the house today by a point of order against the action of the conference committee in fixing a new effective date. The measure was referred back to the conferees who probably will make a new report to both houses tomorrow, with the ef- fective date changed to May 1, 1917, as fixed by the senate.

COOPERATION OF VARIOUS
 MISSIONARY BOARDS
Advocated at Annual Conference of
 Foreign Missionary Board.

Garden City, N r., Jan 1z.-Plans for the cooperation of the various Protestant missionary boards of the United States and Canada in extending their missionary work in South Ameri- ca were formulated at the 24th annu- al conference of foreign missionary board of North America. which closed here today.
 To make the work of the conference more effective, it was unanimously vot- ed to incorporate it's executive commit tee which is known as the committee of reference and counsel The Rev. Dr. James L. Barton of Boston, secre- tary of the American Board of Com missioners of Foreign Missions, was reelected chairman of the committee and Frank Mason North of this city secretary of the Methodist board of missions, was elected a member of the committed in place of Bishop William F. Oldham.
 Virtually every Protestant denomina- tion in North America was represented by the PTS delegates. Although the conference itself possesses no authority to direct work of missionary boards, the consensus of views expressed by the the delegates favored plans con- templated by several boards not now represented in South America and Africa, to enter those fields, bur with the understanding that they should conf1ne their work to districts not oc- cupied by other boards.
 Dr. Barton announced that the Amer ican board is considering plans to send missionaries to South America, where it is not now represented and contem- plates extending it's mission fields in East and West Africa. in an effort 'sto stem the tide, of Mohammedaninsm
 now pouring into other parts of Africa from the Sudan" It was announced that the United Brethren and the Pres byterian board of Foreign Missions in- tend to extend their missionary work to Africa.
 Dr. Barton said also that it is pro- posed to hold conference in Mexico of all the mission boards represented there. possibly next spring, or as soon as conditions in that country will per init, with view to eo-ordinating mis- sion work there and starting schools.

While Berlin asserts that infantry engagements are in progress north of the River Ancre in France the Brit ish official communication dismisses the situation in that area by merely reporting the capture of an additional small number of prisoners, apparently as the result of a patrol raid Berlin credits the British with two atta cks in this sector and adds that the fight ing there continues.

debate between democrats and repub- Hcans on the floor of the house had upset the generally accepted idea that agitation over rumorS of leak in advance of President Wilson's peace note was about to subside. During the discussion republicans charged that the democrats were shutting off the inquiry because they were afraid of it, while the democrats insisted that their opponents were playing partisan poli- tics.
 When the house had talked for two hours and was about to vote on the committees report, Representative Cantrill of Kentucky, a democrat of the committee, who had not joined in the debate, made a proposition that changed the whole situation.

NO RADICAL CHANGE
 OF MILITARY POLICY
Will Be Considered in Framing the
 Army Appropriation Bill.


 Washington, Jan. 12.--An effort today to put the house. military committee on record agnJIist isnivefsal military training failed, but resulted in the adoption of resolution declaring that no radical change of military Iolicy should be considered in framing this years army appropriation bill.
 While some of the members of con- gress and army officers most active in the movement. for universal training had hoped for action at the present ses- sion, most of them now are convinced that the proposed legislation will not get beyond the formative stage by March f. Senator Chamberlain, whose universal training bill is before a senate sub- committee, sees little pros pect that it will receive more than committee approval before adjourn ment.
 The action of the house committee today, however. will not interfere with work on the Chamberlain bill and it's advocates will try to have it perfected as soon as possible and made ready for consideration on the floor of the sem ate if opportunity offers. Discussion at the committee meeting revealed considerable sentiment against univer- sal training and some members pre- dicted afterward that even if the Chamberlain bill were to pass the sen ate, the committee would not take il up at this session.
 The attitude of the administration toward the Chamberlain measure and similar proposals has noe been def1n- ed clearly and it has been apparent that executive officials have not expect ed the universal training question to come to a definite issue in congress be- fore next session at least.
