A RISKY VENTURE

A rumor comes from Washington
that President Wilson and Carranza
have at last reached an understanding
This is not in the least surprising,
considering the alleged basis of agree
ment, the essential condition being
that this government is to advance
several million dollars to the Mexican
chief What we are to receive in re-
turn for this accommodation is not
stipulated in the report, and our i'm
agination fails to suggest a single
thing that might make it a fair trade
all around.
We have, Of course, no faith what
ever in the cutthroat VINO now pre-
sumes to preside over the destinies Of
our unfortunate neighbor to the south
and why we should undertake to fin.
ance his regime, no matter what the
pretext, lies far beyond our compre-
hension. If Carranza just happens to
need a little pocket money to tide him
over a temporary stringency. he ought
to be able to raise it by the sale of a
few concessions to private individuals
In fact, in view of the manner in
which our own government is of nee
essity grabbing every bit of ready
money in sight, one would naturally
suppose that there are any number of
Americans who would jump at the
chance of saving a chunk of their sur,
plus cash for their own use by lending
it to Carranza. That is, providing
they considered it a safe venture
However, our capitalists are not dis
posed to take this chance, and if it is
too risky for them it ought to be too
risky for the government.
1t is just possible, however, that
we are not entering into the deal to
profit financially, but to secure the
good will of the Carranza government.
If so, then affairs have indeed come
to a sorry pass with us to stoop to
such an enterprise Even assuming
that the Mexican pretender would
keep faith, we fail to see where his
friendship would be worth several
million dollars to US. Had we our
say, we wouldn't risk seven cents on
him, either way. Of course, all this
is by way of assuming that our in
formation concerning the transaction
is reliable

BRITISH government
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder.
standing about the bread program I'm
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys a loaf Of bread for less tina
an American can, but it is poore
bread, and the British government
paying $200,000000 a year toward til
cost OF it.
All the grain grown in Great Bri,
ain is taken over by the governmer
at an arbitrary price and the importe
wheat purchased on the markets
the prevailing market price. This
turned over TO the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adu
terated war bread loaf OF four pound
TO sell at 18 cents, the two pound loa
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar but with larger ex.
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America,
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their hocks and
herds In order to meet Europes tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of 1.-Two
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vlr.
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory 49, approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines
But IN England-where 100000
acres OF pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain tields---the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons Apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$1776 per 100 pounds October, $17.2S;
November and December, S16.0S; jan
larry, $14.40, The effect OF these prices
was TO drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during tho war.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head OF
cattle In 1913, she now flas only 12.-
$4,000, a decrease of 166 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared TO two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack OF necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely IN the prSduc-
tion of meat producing animols and
dairy products rather than I'm the pro-
ductlon Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

Baker said he had not read the pub

mentioned and would make no COM
ment in regard to them. 81
I happen. however, said Secre-
tary Baker, to be able from personal
observation to say that the relations
between General Pershing, Marshal
Haig were cordial, sympathetic and
in every way happy. 1 did not see
Marshal Haig on my last trip to Eu-
rope, but / did see General Petan
and General Pershing together sew
eral times in prolonged conferences,
and I saw Marshal Foch and know
that their relations were as I have
described them to be.
Planned BY Foch
The great offensive which Mar
shall Foch organized and directed was
carried out by Marshal Haig. Gener-
al Petain and General Pershing. They
not only performed their several
parts with enthusiasm, but coop
Grated with one another at all points
of contact. American troops at the
end were also operating by divisions
with the French under General Pc
tain, and with the British under
Marshal Haig, while in the Ameri-
can sector. properly SO called French
divisions were under the command
of General Pershing.'
