AUSTRIA HOLDING
 HER OWN IN BIZ
 FIGHT 0F NATIONS
While Her Losses in Men and Material is Large, Yet Resources Are Still
 We'll Organized

Vienna, January 0.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-The closing days of 1916 found Austria-Hungary more or less in the position she was in at the end of 1915. The resources of the dual monarchy, men and material alike, were further depleted by military operations, but the nature of the demands made by war upon all belligerents is such that Austria Hungary has not suffered more than her antagonists, it is declared
 While the Austro- Hungarian losses in men have been heavy, there is no reason To believe that the army has ceased to be strong organization. Depreciation in numerical strength has been attended Dy great improvements in organization and leadership. The lessons brought by the war have been eagerly employed. The capacity of the officer has been heighten- ed, and the almost complete merger of the army with the German forces CO., operating with it has resulted in uni 1ormity of action which the arrange ments obtaining at the outbreak of the war could not effect. At the lower east ern and Rumanian front it is impossible today to find a tactical unit of unmixed central troops Germans and Austro- HungarlanS may in turn outnumber one another in 8 large organization, may be commanded by either a German or Aus tro-Hungarian officer, the fact remains that they are unit getting orders from the same headquarters to carry them out for the common purpose
 Several trips to various German and Austro-H Hungarian fronts have shown the Associated Press correspondent that re- lations between the Austro-H Hungarian and German soldiers are the best. They may be found together in the same artil-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-01-28

lery position and the same firing line. Usually keen rivalry exists between them, military necessity thus providing for new incentive to do the best.
 A new feature of the European war in 1916 was the participation on the Dobrudja and Russian fronts by Otto man troops. Recurring mention of them in the official war reports shows that the Turk is proving of great value even here.
 The year made heavy demands upon Austria Hungary's supply of war ma terial, but has not exhausted it. The scarcity in copper and tin has been met by employing iron and other available metals. Though copper roofs have been confiscated by the government, and even church bells melted down, the shortage in such metals has so far not affected the war in the least. Thousands of tons of copper brass, tin, and nickel articles are being exchanged for similar articles made of iron, and it is considered as all together unlikely that the last man would fire a cartridge made from the last can dlestick in the monarchy, as the saying goes
 The clothing of the troops remains fairly good. The fact that old textiles are again and again converted into new fabrics has robbed the Austro-Hunga- rian army of the neatness it's pike gray" uniforms gave 1t two years ago. lneIl the Austro-Hungarian army was prob ably the best dressed in all Europe. To- day this is no longer true.
 Footwear continues to be excellent. The country has large stocks of cattle and good tanneries. While leather has risen enormously in price, the army still wears the best shoes in the country.
 Food is more plentiful at the front than in the rear, but in the main to the meas ure that from district declared a war zone no food of any sort may be ex- ported to the hinderland. The men receive their former rations of bread and meat. Meatless days are unknown at the ac- tual front
 The war has not been without it's eff feet upon the mind of the Austro-Hunga- rian soldier. It is fact that the civil population is more tired of the war than the man in the trench. Usually the sol dier has come to look upon military serv- ice as a duty that must be done. In many instances the psychological effect has been that the man has come to look upon military service as did the mercen- ary in centuries gone by. Work at the front has become a profession with him. He has no other cares than those re- lated to his own person, and death has lost its terror by almost daily contract. A sad feature of this is that the man has been completely weaned away from his family It is nothing unusual to have soldiers on. furlough return to the fror before the time is up. At the front they are carefree and all worry belongs to the officer

Whv People Oct Fat.

Among curious popular fallacies IL
the idea that an individual may be-
come obese without eating too much
and may remain obese even when very
little food is taken. II person, each
day, eats butter ball weighing only
a third Of an ounce in excess Of the
food actually needed. 1t seems triding.
Insignificant; but continued over a
year it would involve gain in weight
of nine pounds Of fatty tissue or IN
10 years of 90 pounds. An ounce OF
bread, or half glass Of milk. more
than the food requirements for the
day will bring about the same result.
Conversely, II the quantity OF food
taken be only slightly below the needs
of the body. some Of the body's own
fat is used and the body weight falls,
a process which may be extended over
a long period Of time.-Dr. Graham

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE grain markets
have been shaken up by the warning
against overtrading which is apparent
ly directed against several locals who
were active on the bull side OF corn.
These interests have apparently sold
out and the situation suggests May
corn and oats will meet sales near sl.l1
and So cents. Rail news indicates the
corn belt will receive a big reinforce
ment Of cars to move the corn. The
big delay IN corn curing has driven
the foreign winter feed demand into
oats. About another million oats
worked today. New cash corn so far
shows little change. Sample grades
are selling at $40 to sl.25. but old
is very scarce and firm, with No. . yell
