Uncle Sam Protects Against Enemy
Goods.

How Uncle Sam is safeguarding the
country against the entrance of mer-
chandise from neutral countries in which
an enemy subject, or an ally Of the enc
my, may have an interest whatsoever
direct or indirect, was pointed out to-
day by Ansel r. Clark, manager of the
Boston Office of the bureau Of foreign
and domestic commerce. So thorough
is this protection, and so well has this
country co ordinated its regular and war
time departments, that, through the CO.
operation of the war trade board the
department of state, the treasury depart
ment and the department Of commerce
system has been developed whereby it
is well nigh impossible for the smallest
products to enter the United States, I'M
less the shipper has proven to the sat.
isfaction of our consular officers abroad
that the goods are absolutely untainted
by an enemy interest.
The organization Of the war trade
board now enables exporters and i'm.
porters to bring in or send out mer.
chandise of certain classes, and under
certain regulations, Exports and i'm.
port licenses are the media of foreign
trade to-day. But inasmuch as the i'm,
porter in this country cannot always as.
certain just what interest, direct or in.
direct, some enemy subject may have
in the commodity he plans to import, oul
department of state has issued instruc.
tions to its many consuls in neutral
countries, TO the effect that they shall
not certify consular invoiced unless they
are accompanied by separate declara
ton by the manufacturer, owner, pur.
chaser or seller, or duly authorized agent
of either, stating that no enemy or ally
of enemy has any interest in the trans
action. What is more, in the case Of
exports TO this country from certain
neutrals, the declarations and certifica
tions must contain the additional state
ment that the merchandise was not man
ufactured or produced in enemy terri
tory
The war board controls this activit,
by the issuance of import licenses, fol
lowed by the cooperation of the Gus
toms division of the United States treas
ury department; which, before any suci
merchandise can be admitted into thi,
country, necessitates the exhibition e
the collector of customs of consular
| certificate as above outlined.
These regulations, of course, do moi
apply to shipments for which any enc
my trade license has been issued by tbt
war trade board. This certificate Of in
terest, or origin and interest required
in the case Of merchandise imported from
neutral countries except where the trans
action is covered by an enemy trade ii
cense, has been frequently overlooked
by the business interests of this country
and is a point well worth taking note Of
according to Mr.. Clark.

and rugs, discarded table cloths and pa

the damage is to be reckoned in dollars
and not in cents, principally among the
gardeners who planted beans. Potatoes
will not develop noticeably after to-

lieved that most Of them had attained

be seriously felt. Tomato plants felt

THE RED CROSS
IS REAL SERVICE
BY FRANK MORRISON,
Secretary American Federation Of
Labor.

LABOR.
The work Of the Red Cross is not
confined to our boys on battlefield or
In hospital nor amidst The ruins of Bel
gium and other portions of devastated
Europe. One Of its great activities is
any necessary aid TO the dependents Of
members Of Americas military forces.
On the battlefield the Red Cross pre-
sents an heroic figure. In America,
removed from destruction and death,
the Red Cross steps silently to the
side of the father and mother whose
boy Is lover there" and who need coun-
sci and aid.
No service Is too sman for the Red
Cross, II allotments from tho govern
ment or from their son are delayed, or
Information on the governments war risk
insurance IL wanted, the Red Cross is
both counsellor and friend. II enters into
the home in the true spirit of charity
secrecy.
But first and foremost our soldiers In
field and hospital must be given the most
attentive care possible Nothing we can
do will equal their share In this move
ment for world democracy. and tho Red
Cross presents an opportunity for us to
play our part In this great drama by
contributing to the extent Of our ability.
The Red Cross appeals to organized
workers because of it's one quality
service.
Behind Red Cross service Is an en-
nobling charity that Is not defaced by
cost marks. a democracy that personifles
Jefferson's great principle OF equality and
. religion that IL beyond sectarianism.

SMILES AND TEARS oEr MIXED,

Two little stories came to the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
u short time ago. One was story Of
bravery that brought the tears, and
one tale Of tears that brought smiles.
The first story was Of soldier who
asked for 4 light. He was In bed. and
1 cigarette was between his lips, plac-
ca there by the nurse after she had
lAnished spreading his blanket up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
ana gave him d box OF matches and
hurried on. then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears In her eyes hs she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him.
"Quit that he said, "they were good
mits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before l lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, 50 there!'.
And the tears story that brought
smiles7 Well, that was the story of a
big, husky, colored man, who sat read
ing, and the Red Cross worker at the
canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheeks. She was curious to
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over
his shoulder to see that It was the
canteen cook book.
He smiled through his tears as he
saw that she was watching, and said,
sheepishly, '.You sure must excuse me,
ma am, but this here book done max,
me blamed homesick. Tn 'shamed L.

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase In American Hogs win
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In stimuiatlon
Of Pork Produetion-Sevenfold
increase Over Pre-
War Exporta

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports Of pork products.
With the heavy demands added Ii car.
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, tho
Department Of Agriculture and, the
Food Administration are Justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork win help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
In. this country supplies which viii en-
able us to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be . shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited, refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All. freezer ships
available, however. win be filled By
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war. pro
gram az applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is Illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled BY the o, s. De-
partment Of Agriculture indicate an
Increase in cattle Of 1O.2380O0 head
and 12,441 900 hogs These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease will show
an increase. according to recent re
ports.
Since January unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than per cent and moi
more than 10 per cent as compared
with one year ago. with an increase in
the average weight
Following the request Of the q. s
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall OF 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,6OO,.
100000 pounds more Of pork product
than were available last year. With.
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
Impossible.
The dressed hog products during thu
three months ending September 80
1917, amounted to 9O3, 172, 600 pounds
while for the corresponding months o.
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
l,277 $780, 900. an increase Of over 374,
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed l,263, 600 OO(
pounds as against 1.454, OOO, 900 pounds
for the three month period ending
