boys, remember, as we'll as those of our AL
lies; milk for the hundreds of tubercular pa
tients; milk, free milk, for everybody!
l doubt if you can realize what this means
unless you know something of the milk situa-
tion In France at the present time. Do you
know that France is facing milk famine? Do
you know that quart of milk costs 80 cents
in Paris to-day, and that it is difficult to obtain
it even at that price? Do you know that for
every two and one-half gallons of milk that
France formerly produced she produces now
less than one gallon? And this when she has
need Of twice the amount that is consumed in
time of peace!
The reasons for all this are simple First,
the Germans captured all the available cat
tie; then great many were requsitioned by
the Allied armies; and many of those that
were left were sacrificed by the farmer on
account Of the high cost or shortage of feed
The government realizes the situation and
the greatest care is being taken of the mch
cows that are left They are the pampered
pets of France. Directly town is in danger
Of bombardment they driven forth under
military escort to places Of safety The city
Of Paris, by-the-bye, has its own herd, which is
kept under special care.
Moreover, the government is doing every
thing in its power to conserve the milk sup
ply SO that it will be available for hospital use
There is law, for example, that forbids the
serving Of milk cream in restaurants or
hotels after 9 o'clock in the morning; but
still the milk gets scarcer and scarcer
So, you see, the situation is critical, and
this explains why huge tin milk can with the

The idea Of helping France in this way
originated with Mrs Warren McConihe New
York woman, who served for over a year as
nurse in Janson de Sally Hospital, which
cares for the most seriously wounded. There
Mrs McConihe saw the dire need for fresh
milk.

Annapolitans contemplating pur-

hurry in with their orders or there is
going to be some disappointment.
Manufacturers of passenger auto
mobiles and repair parts have agreed
with the War Industries Board to
limit production during the last six
months of 1918 to % per cent. of the
total production in 1917, according to
announcement last night in the form
Of a letter from the War Industries
Board to the National Automobile

this production, the board gave notice
that it viii extend preferential treat

the houses being put up for shipyard
workers by the Government, few are

fairly serious housing problem in the
city, just as there has been in other
communities where war work has
brought a great influx of workers.
Rents have gone up sharply, in some
places, though efforts are being made
to check profiteering Houses for rent
are scarce except in parts of the city
at considerable distances from the mu-
nitions plants.
Real estate valuations have increas-
