FURORE CREATED
 BY DUTCH EXPORTS
Press Debates Whether Holland Had Been Of Assistance to Germany
 by Shipping Food.

Amsterdam, Jan. 17.-(Correspon1 dence of The Associated Press) .-Thd question whether, and to what extent Holland is responsible for the continu- ation of the war by her food supplies to Germany has caused a controverss AaIst, head of the Netherlands Over sea Trust, in his recent open letter tc President Wilson, pleaded for the re- moval of the American government, embargo on fooI shipments to IIoi- land; one of his arguments b2ire. thai the continuation of I+olland's traaj with the Central Powers, while of vita| importance tc Holland itself, IS ol small account so far as aid and coni fort to the Entcnte's enemies is cont cerned.
 An article in the Amsterdam TeicI graaf from Entente @idc--of Americall origin, i is hinted-replics to Mir, val -AaIsts arguments by showing thatI according to official Dutch statisticI for 1916, there were exported from Holland tC Germany of potatoes, pol tato flour, butter, eggs, rice, cheese| margarine, sugar, fish, meat, fruitj peas and beans, 918, ,355 tons-sufT] cicnt to feed 100000 soldiers for year.
 The same authority calculates thaI in 1916 Holland imported from overI seas 91S,251 tons of cereals, foud cocoa, rice and dried fruits and comeI to the conclusion that Holland eNportl ed more than twice the quantity sh s needed for the sustenance of her ow r population-hence the restriction placed upon these imports by tn United States government
 Now comes Professor J. A. va Hamel, a Dutch writer Of note, WhS in support of MT van A2!st's contenl tions, puts the case this way: Assuming that the Entente authorl ! itv's ne,3res as regards the exporteE 1 food ya1ues are correct, how far woull 1 a years Dutch exports go to feed th5 1 DO 0o0 OO0 inhabitants of GermanJ l and Austria Hungary? That, he sayl l ie the way the question ought to hs 1 looked at, and the answer is three anI
 onc-haf days. But ibc figures, he claims, are nd correct. Professor van Hamel ord duccs d detailed schedule, also baseI on official statistics, showing that tfi aggregate q exports e the articld
 named amounted, not to 91S,355 toni but to 59O,066 tons; or, roughly 30 pd cent less than was alleged.
 His conclusion, therefore, is that whole years exports from Holland | Germany are just sufficient to kedl alive the joint population of German and Austria Hungary for three arl half days less 30 per oert., q two days, 10 hours and AS minutes.

FLEECED AMERICANS

Restaurant Keeper Increased Prices and Native Soldiers Began 10
 Raise Objections.

American Aviation Camp, Southern Italy Jan. 19.--(Corresponden of The Associated Press. )-The food problem recently attained the dig nifty of crisis here. When the United States government. arranged for the training of Americans here, it was agreed that five lire per day should be paid for the feeding of each aviation officer in the making, a sum amply equal to advanced food prices, considering the several hum dreds of men to be fed. contract to feed the men was let to a local restaurant proprietor but he became imbued with the idea that Americans have plenty of money and are anx- ious to spend it. For many weeks the Americans, absorbed in their training, accepted the food given them. They merely went down into

their own pockets and patronized the candy stores of the city, it's restau- rants, but particularly the canteen where the Italian soldiers of the camp spent their money for drinks, sandwiches and omelets
 Gradually the price of .canteen products rose so high the Italian sol diers were unable to patronize 1t and complained to their officers. These latter investigated jointly with the American officers, with the re- suit that canteen prices were reduced charge of the American mess had to beg to be given a chance to hold his contract.
 This happened just before Christ mas and as the Americans were be- ing paid off for the first time in three months, they persuaded their com- mander to let them all go to Rome and Naples and gorge themselves There they engaged in veritable food orgies. They bought candy and nuts and cake by fve-pound lots, retiring to their rooms to eat after taking regular restaurant meals. Some of the men were reported to havo eaten six meals q day

 Chapters all over the United States will, in those ten days, attempt to en- list the children of public, private and parochial schools for definite war service. There are about 22,000.00O school children in the country The Red Cross expects to enroll 20,00O,- O0O

 Tn the States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, comprising the Jurisdiction of the Atlantic di vision, the campaign will be directed by Andrew Ten Eyck, who managed the second Liberty campaign in schools of New York, in twelve coun- ties in New Jersey and in Fairfield County, Conn.
 Cooperating with him will be the school committees of the Chapters. These committees will stimulate en- rollme ent in their territory. They will visit the schools where they will out line the plan for the developm ent of the Junior Red Cross and describe the opportunities it offers the chil- dren to help in the war.
 Red Cross auxiliaries have been formed in towns in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut Enrollm ent of other schools is going on apace. Steps have been taken which make the enlistment of the entire public school system in New York City a certainty, it was said. In the public schools in New York there are 840,- 900 children.

BUILDING INDUSTRY
GETS CONSIDERATION
War Board Decides Cement,
Lime and Certain Clay Prod
ucts Are Essential.
REMOVES A PERPLExITY
Decision Expected to Have Far
Reaching Effect-Prices
Unchanged.

Building material manufacturers, who
reiegated by Government edict to the
ranks Of non-essentials. have learned
within the last few weeks that the
promise Of the War Industries Board
to give to the building industry every
consideration compatible with the war
winning programme is being amply full
filled according to The Doto Service
Dolly Building Reports to-day.
Edwin B. Parker. Priorities Commits
sioner- Of the war Industries Board, has
informed the manufacturers OF lime that
theirs Is a partial war industry and
that he will receive applications from
any manufacturer for place on the
preference list. This action following a
similar course in the case Of Portland
cement and certain clay products has
lifted one of the greatest perplexities
from the building. manufacturing and
distributing interests that has rested
heavily upon them since the war began.
Other commodities are to receive con-
sideration OF the board in their turn.
The plan to have building material
man on the War Industries Board has
been taken up by various associations
and according to advices received in the
trade last week John A. Killing. presi-
dent OF the Kelley Island Lime and
Transport Company of Cleveland. has
been recommended for the place.
Building material prices at the week
end were. for the most part. without
change. Common brick prevails at the
s14 level although there is evidence
that the quotations will stiffen. New
bag rebates for Portland cement are rs
cents instead Of 10. or 81 barrel. The
export base price for this district is
$l75.

ALBANY, Sept. IA serious shortag &c
of ruffed grouse was the reason sdvanced
to-day by the State Conservation COM
mission for the order issued yesterday
limiting the open season except on Long
Island to October. and on Long Island to
November. As announced in THE SUN
to-day. the bag limit also has been de-
creased from four TO two birds a day
and from twenty to ten in the season.
ne commissions order followed seven
hearings in New York City. Albany.
Utica, Malone. Rochester. Elmira and
Goshen. at which the commission an
nounced there was almost unanimous
agreement among sportsmen that a Sc
rious shortage has existed during the
last three years.
The chief causes were cold. wet nest
Ing seasons. which prevented Matching
or caused the early death OF young birds
unusual inroads by foxes, Eoshawks and
great horned owls, and increased hunting
brought about by better roads and facil-
tiles for transportation and greater in
terest in outdoor sports.
''The influx Of goshawks and great
horned owls" said the commission. lis
believed to be due to the periodic short
age OF the hares In the north resulting
in the migration OF the predatory birds
In search OF other food and causing other
animals. chiefly foxes, that feed upon
rabbits, to turn TO the grouse as a SUBJ
stitute.
1t Is equally true that the influx OF
goshawks and great horned owls. which
has occurred in the last two years, may
be expected to be corrected by tie return
of the rabbits to their normal numbers
in the north. In addition the commits
sion has equipped all of its game protec-
tive force with rifles for warfare upon
predatory birds and animals and is in
stitutlng campaign among sportsmen
to bring about their determination. This
should have material influence upon
the enemies OF the grouse.
The commission concurs with a num-
Der Of the witnesses in their opinion tina
hunters themselves are not the most i'm
portant factor In the grouse decrease
Moreover. the hunting during the follow
ing two or three seasons will be very
decreased because OF the absence OF
hunters at the war and because
others who remain In this country
will be too busily engaged In indus
t.ial pursuits TO spend much time afield
II Is thus apparent that even without
regulation hunting will he very much
