RABBIT MEAT is
MOST DELICIOUS
Boys and Girls Clubs Being
Formed in Various Parts of
United States.
IS Cheaper THAN CHICKEN
Great Many Hotels Now Regularly
Serve Hare Prepared in Some Par
ticuIar Way-PeIts Are Used
to Make Felt Hats.

Fifteen hundred boy and girl club
members are raising rabbits in Taco
ma, Wash, and more are constantly
joining in this enterprise to produce
cheap and delicious meat. All over
the country the boys and girls clubs,
formed under the supervision of the
department of agriculture in connec-
ton with the state agricultural col
leges, for the purpose of growing rab-
bits, are on the increase in size, num-
Der and popularity.
When the fact began to be realized
that the number of domesticated ami
mails ordinarily used for food was not
equal to the demand, various other
sources which might be used to help
supplement the regular supply were in
vestigated. One of the most promis-
ing discovered lay in increasing the
number of rabbits and encouraging
their use for food. This was in line
with the findings in other countries on
the same question. It is stated that
30 per cent of the meat used in Ger
many last year was rabbit.
DeIicateIy Favored Meat.
Those who know good food long ago
realized that not even chicken could
excel young hare in delicacy of fiber
and flavor, and to Increase their use
should not prove difficult matter.
Nearly all the best hotels now regu-
larly serve rabbit prepared in some
special way their chef has devised.
The rabbit associations in California
and Nebraska are making special Of
fers to boy and girl club members
which will enable a yOungster to start
a warren at a moderate cost with
good stock.
In Utah the rabbit industry among
the boy and girl club members is in
creaslng in Importance, with many
youngsters going into it this season
and finding it profitable.
Demonstrations are given in the
boys and girls clubs as to the best
way to kill, dress and market rabbits.
The young people are also taught how
to can the meat and tan the skins for
home use. The popular use of rabbit
skins by furriers of this country is evil
denced by the import lists of last year,
which show 100000 skins were
shipped here from foreign countries in
the II months preceding. These pelts
are also used by hatters to make bet
ter grades of felt hats.
Rabbits don't crow or lay eggs, but
they are right there with the cheapest
meat that can be produced.

The Republicans began their presl-
dental campaign for 1920 as soon as
they had won the congressional
campaign of 1918. Just now there
has been considerable amount
of casting about for candidates
and many names are mentioned
in the course of a weeks desutory dis
cuSsion. 1t is rather an interesting
fact that people expect to see two eX-
presidents with their hats in the
ring in 1920. No one seems to doubt
that Colonel Roosevelt will be very
much in evidence at the next Repub-
lican convention. and there is now a
growing feeling thut Judge Taft might
make successful comeback race.
One of the interesting suggestions
as to a Republican candidate came
from shrewd political observer on
the Democratic side of the senate. He
remarked that the Republicans would
be likely to go West for n candidate in
order TO get the geographical support
which a nomination of that kind would
be likely to insure. In that case. he
said, he rather expected the next Re
publican convention to turn to man
like Senator Frank =. Kellogg of Min
neSota. Minnesota, he said, was Il
doubtful state, very close in the cam
paign Of 1916. kellogg has had a fine
public record, both as a prosecutor of
trusts and as n senator. Minnesota
has never been considered as on the
presidential highway, but almost any
thing is likely to happen In politics
these days.

Until now there never has been any
concerted movement for the removal
of snow from the cOuntry's highways
in winter. Efforts In that direction
have been confined to city streets.
Now that the war and the resulting
strain on transportation have brought
about the use of motortrucks as
freight carriers, the federal govern
ment figures that the question Of keep
ing our highways clear in the cold
months is worth consideration. AS
result the council OF national defense
has been giving attention to this prob
lem of snow removal. In the northern
sections of the United States roads
during the winter become almost i'm
passable for heavy traffic on wheels.
If the new method of motortruck
transportation is to become really
worth while, there will have TO be
some general effort to keep the high
ways clear of snow drifts and mud
holes.

FEEDING Of EUROPE.
THE BIG PROBLEM
Questions Discussed Prior
to Peace Conference-When Pre-
miers Lloyd George and Orlando
Arrive Question May Be
Settled.

Paris, Dec. 17.-Economic ques-
lions are coming prominently to the
'ront in the discussions now going
on behind the scenes preliminary to
the assembling of the inter-allied
conferences and the peace congress.
The main point hinges on the ap-
pointment of Herbert G. Hoover, the
American food administrator, as di-
rector general of, relief for all the
Allies and the United States.
An amendment to this has been
suggested from Allied quarters by
which an inter-allied commission
would control for the period of one
ear the distribution of raw mater
;als to various countries.
American Position.
The American position is that en-
ployment of Mr.. Hoover to head the
relief work should not be compiic:t-
ed with the large general question
of raw material. The question of
raw material is regarded as more
or less connected with the policy
adopted at the Allied economic con-
ference in Paris before America en-
tered the war. This policy has not
oeen adopted by the American Gov
ernment and the present trend of
opinion in authorized American quar-
,rs is against its adoption.
The American plan for relief was
sented in writing to the recen
meeting of-the Supreme War Coun-
Gil in London, but: action on It was
postponed. :. The arrival Of Premier
Lloyd George and Premier Orlando
in Paris next Thursday will again
bring these premiers together, this
time with President Wilson, and the
deferred relief project again will
come up for discussion and decision.

100000 AMERICAN
TROOPS IN NGOB[ENz
Principal Hotels Taken Over for Bill
letting Purposes-Third Division
Passes Through Coblez Headed
by Band on Gallant
Chargers.

Coblenz, Dec. 1S.-Approximately
10000 American troops have arrived
at Coblenz since the advance guard
reached here a:week ago. A large
number of these troops have passed
through the city, while considerable
forces will remain here temporarily.
The people of Coblenz got their
irst glimpse of American airplanes
oday, several of the machines flying
.:er the Rhine toward the bridge
cad boundary and then returning.
The officers and clerks of the Third
!rmy arrived here this morning, fol-
we'd by trucks loaded with equip
ment and Office supplies. The largest
hotel in Coblenz, overlooking the
Rhine and the two bridges where
ost of the troops cross the river,

=, Third army officers. The head
,l:,rters of the Tird army are estab-
ned in a government building ad-
joining the hotel.
By noon the Third army was in
communication with. the back areas
" telephone, telegraph and wireless.
During last Sunday various detach-
ents of infantry and artillery pass
ed through Coblenz on their way to
join the divisions east of the Rhine.
Church-goers viewed the marching
troops with much interest. Later in
she afternoon the Third division,
which had been along the Rhine south
If Coblenz, marched; through the
city beaded by 2 band, each musi-
clan mounted on q grey horse. The
Third division crossed the Moselle
tn of Coblenz, where it has taken
up position along the Rhine in sup
port of the troops within the bridge
head.
All the larger hotels here have
',een taken over by the Americans
for billeting purposes, as well as
many of the public buildings, which
are being used as Offices.

Officer Recommends In
crease in Permanent
Enlisted Strength.
FIGURES BY LANING
FOR HOUSE MEMBERS
Naval Committee Told of Desirable
ity of Making Personnel Number
More Than Two Hundred Thou
sand Men-Necessary in
Carrying Out Policy.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Legislation
authorizing increase of the perma-
nent enlisted strength of the nevy
from 111,0OO men to $4,000 was
recommended to the house naval af-
fairs committee today by Capt. H.
Laning, acting chief of the bureau
of navigation. This would include
175,000 seamen, $4,000 apprentice
seamen and firemen in training, 49,
900 in trade schools in training, and
5000 in the flying corps.
Captain Laning explained that this
large increase of men is needed to
carry out the policy Of the naval bu
reau Of operations, as read to the
naval affairs committee by Rear Ad
miral Badges last Thursday of max
ing the navy of the United States
:ual to the most powerful maintain
ed by any nation Of the world.
"Unless an increase in the person
mel is authorized" Captain Laning
said, "no expansion program can be
carried out. The navy was terribly
handicapped by a lack of men even
,efore the United States entered the
war. Ships were only half manned
and, as fighting units, were almost
useless. It was not until early this
year that the number of men became
sufficient"
Captain aiming also emphasized
he need for more officers in the reg
ular navy and submitted a plan by
which, they might be obtained. It
provides that permanent commissions
in the regular navy be given to tenn
porary commissioned officers Of the
navy and of the naval reserve force
upon their passing examinations, and
lso that the naval reserve officers be
retained in the service as long as
they are needed.
Chairman Padgett objected to the
plan, saying it would break down the
present system of obtaining officers
through the naval academy. The in
centive for going to the academy
would be lost, he said, if the men
ould get commissions without going
through the four year course at An
lapolis.
'If the navy depends upon the
lcademy for it's officers" Captain
.aning replied, cit can never get the
quired number. Only 600 officers
re graduated yearly from the school
while there will be shortage of
1000 as soon as the temporary COM
missions are revoked"

STILL BELIEVES. IN
LEAGUE Of NATIONS
President Sees No Rea-
son for Change in Con-
victions.
NO LACK OF UNITY
ON FREEDOM OF SEAS
Great Britain and United States Be-
lieved to Be in Accord-No Dis
position to Jeopardize Safety
of British Empire by Reduc-
ton of Fleet.

Paris, Dec. 18.-After four days
If gathering views of leaders ii
France, President Wilson's closest
advisers said he has seen no reason
o change his belief that the founda
ton of a league of nations is insep.
arabic from the actual peace treaty
IStself.
These advisers say that the presi.
lent in explaining his definition Of
the freedom of the SEAS" will reas.
sure Premier Lloyd George that he
has no intention. of demanding a re.
duction of the British navy to a point
involving the unsafe,y Of the empire,
but will emphasize his feeling that
the plan of a league will strengthen
the empire.
King Victor Emmanuel, who is
expected here Thursday, already has
been fully advised of the presidents
plans through conferences with
;ount Di Cellere, italian ambassa-
ler to the United States, but the
president will take the opportunity
to make personal explanations to the
king.
The hope is expressed by those sur
rounding the president that the ex-
changes Of views will clear away any
partial misunderstanding which may
exist in regard to Mr.. Wilson's atti-
tude and prepare the way for the as
semblage of the conference with COM
plexities removed so that it will be
ready to deal with principles and any
outstanding differences of opinion
that remain. In all his conferences the
president has taken opportunity to
express his view, it is said by those
who are authorized to speak for him,
that no one nation is entitled to as
sumo the role of master or dictate the
manner or the conditions or the rep
reservations of others.
There is some indication that con-
siderable headway is being made in
this direction and that the members
# the American mission are now see
ing their way clearly. All express the
conviction that delegates will enter
the conference in a spirit of accom-
mediation.
Some undercurrents are interpret
ed as showing intentions of regret
because the acceptance of President
Wilson's points in a general way pre-
vented some nations from achieving
their own objects which might have
been gained if Germany's collapse
had been made even more complete.
In reply, it has been made plain to
those with whom the president con-
ferred that the United States govern
ment does not consider the war a
victory of arms alone, and that vic
tory would be incomplete without an
organization Of nations to guarantee
world peace.
