COLLINS AND GHOSTS
WILL WALK TONIGHT

Tonight is the night when it viii
behoove timid folks to beware of COB
lins, gnomes and ghosts. This is Hal
lowe'en when such spirits are suppos-
ed to walk about to frighten the
nervous and commit minor depreda-
tions. As a matter of fact the mod
ern ghosts and goblins are generally
small boys fun of mischief who take
advantage of an old tradition to turn
over their neighbor's outhouses, steal
his gates and do other things that or
dinariiy he wouldn't do.
Chief Roberts, unhappily for the
small boy, has forgotten his own boy
hood and fails to see why Hallowe en-
should be an excuse for mischief
making. While he will not molest
parties having innocent fun with
jack o'lanterns, he has declared war
on those who do damage to property.
A score or more of special police have
been deputized to patrol the residence
districts of the city and to gather in
all boys harming property.

AMERICAN ARMY MAY

At EARLIER DATE

NEW YORK. oct. 3i.-European
war developments may force the Ann
crican armies into action sooner than
scheduled. II is suggested a strong
American attack on the western
fiont might divert the Austro Ger
mans from italy. It is considered un-
advisable to send Americans to the
Italian front. American pressure at
certain points on the French front
would demand the immediate cessa-
tlon of the German Italian drive.
Teutonic- Italian advance evidently
Is slowing down. II later develop
ments threaten to cause major disas-
ter to the allied cause along the Tag
liamento river the United states
probably would not be content with
trying to save Italy with money con-
tributiuns alone.
Sometimes It becomes necessary to
strike quickly before plans mature.

ian plans probably viii rest on de-

Livestock.
Europe's shortage Ever More Serious.

EurOpe's Shortage Ever More Serious.
This encroachment into the herd,
for reasons stated, will go on with in
creasing velocity as long as the war
lasts. Prior to the war our western
allies have always imported a consid-
cradle amount of animal product.
Scme person might assume that this
encrCachment upon the herd would
satisfy the total imports. Such is not
the case. 1t becomes a modification
of both factors. For instance. Euro
peans have always relied. to n consid-
cradle degree, upon the United States
for pork products. and if they slaugh-
tered the larger portion OF their hogs
they could still not supply their de
mands for fats More especially is
this true because the imports of fat
products of one kind or another from
the neutral countries surrounding
Germany to the allies are constantly
from one political reason
after another.
Allies Beef situation.
In the matter of beef. it appears
to me that the allies can. by suffi-
cient encroachment into the herd
support themselves without any con-
sequential expansion of imports from
the United states during the period
that the slaughter is carried on. but
there are limits to even this. Eu-

note that we have increased our pork
consumption despite high prices.
TWO Ways to solve Hog Problem.
If we are to maintain our supplies

courses. or combination Of both:
First we must reduce our consump-
tion OF pork products to the prewar

of animal products. Furthermore
the production OF fodder grains in
Europe displaces, to a considerable
extent. their possible production Of
bread grains. Beyond this the diver
sion Of millions of men from produc-
tion 10 war and the oecrease in fer
tilizers all contribute to a reduction
in production Of animal foods. All
together from the viewpoint of our
allies who observe the constant
shortening of shipping. a most likely
policy is to eat their animals and
thus have room to produce more
bread grains at home and to increase
their imports Of meat products from
abroad. BY so doing they can make
better use Of the shipping facilities
