REINDEER MEAN MAH RELIEVE
 FOOD SHORTAGE

Reindeer steaks may some day take the place of beef, if the meat shortage becomes more serious. Un- der proper management Alaska may become the source of large food supplies, William T. Lopp, chief of the Alaska Division of the United States Bureau of Education believes Thousands of surplus male reindeer are to be had in Alaska every year, according to this authority, and while small shipments have been made from time to time there has been no systematic exportation on a large scale.
 In a recent interview MT. Lopp, who has been working with the na- tive Eskimos for 20 years, gave in teresting statistics showing the sue cess of the United States Govern ment in the work of converting a nation of hunters and fishermen in to a pastoral people. This the Gov ernment has done through the i'm portation of reindeer into Alaska from Siberia and through the en- couragement of ne reindeer in dustry through the Alaska Division of the Bureau of Education.
 "Of the total of 9S,5S2 reindeer now in Alaska Territory 67,44S are now owned by 1,56S native' Els kimos, all of whom are expert herd CTS, trained through the apprentice ship system instituted by the schools said MT Lopp. Reindeer with a total value of $1,6S6, 200 are now possessed by natives form erly destitute.
 Reindeer meat Is said to be as nourishing as beef, and it would contribute toward the conservation of live stock, since the reindeer live on a white lichen, which would otherwise be useless, and there are no expenses attached to their main tenance beyond the labor of herd ing and tthe cost of shelter and butchering"

A DIME BUYS A CHICKEN FOR
 FRANCE

Miss Lucy Hewitt, all American girl, is engaged in novel war re- lief effort which she describes as a plan "to re-chickenize France the American Committe for De vastated France reports.
 Miss Hewitt sells chicken buttons for 10 cents a piece. The buttons say, q have chicken in France" Each button represents the price of an incubator egg and 1000 eggs represents a full incubator.
 During the evacuation of the De pertinent of the Aisne the refugees were sent by thousands to the south of France, but the incubators and the chickens provided through the efforts of Miss Hewitt we're as sembled on a farm, where 6OO refugees children are caring for them, under the supervision of poultry men who were once soldiers and are now disabled.
 Tt costs S4OO to establish a poul- try farm," says a letter from the committee, This includes the wooden barracks provided by the French Government, four incubators of 1000 eggs each, and the salary for one year of a former soldier, who will care for the installation.
 Miss Hewitt has established 1S poultry farms since Easter and she intends to continue until France is once more 'rechickenized' and be- comes the poultry-raising country It was before the war. Ten cents seems a small Investment toward helping France to feed her civilians and her army, and incidentally, our Army. It is one way of helping France to help America"

WOULD INCREASE FARE 1D MEET
 STRIKE DEMANDS

. St. Louis, Feb. 5.-An increase in street car cares, that would enable the company to raise the wages of motOrmen and conductors ten cents an hour, was the answer of President Mccullough. of the United railways, this afternoon to the request of May or Kiel that the street car strike be settled. The letter was decided on at meeting of the board of di- rectors. The company is willing however. he informed the mayor, to make a contract with an organization of its own employees, provided the or ganization is possessed of the neces- sary financial responsibility as to assure the company that the agree ment would be binding on the em- ployes.
 As the strikers have insisted that the recognition of their newly form ed union and the unemployment of those discharged for union activity are two points that cannot be arbi- trated, the thousands. who are walk ing to and from work, saw in the an swer of the company no prospect of settlement.
 The car company was slightly more successful today than yesterday iN its efforts to maintain car service. A total of 104 cars were operated, less than a tenth of the normal number. All cars were withdrawn at seven o'clock tonight.

HAMP WILLIAMS, FOOD DICTATOR,
 C0HING FRIDAY Will Explain Regulations For the Conservation

CHARGE ITALIANS
 BOARDING FOOD
Report From A!t!eimer That Flour and Sugar Being Accumulated Is tU Be lnyCstigated-Ne Pork

Hamp Williams, state food admins trator, will come to Pine Bluff on Friday, and that night will address a meeting of retailers, jobners, whole salers and all interested iE the cor sefVation food. The meeting will be held at the Chamber of Commerce.
 M. C. Hollis, county food admins trator, announced the meeting last night, after he had communicated by tele2hone With the state fcod admin istrator.
 Mir. Williams will clearly explain the regulations for the conservation of food, particularly With reference to meatless and wheatless days D MT. Hollis said, "and it is desired that all dealers, restaurants, board ing house keepers and other loyal citizens, anxious to support the gov ernmeat. ne, present.
 That dealers are not allowed to sell on Saturday, which is p9rkless day, pork for consumption On Sunday was another statement made by Mr. Hollis, who said he had asked specif- cally about this regulation. The Sldle lOOu dulNlHiStIatOI says that III making Saturday the porkless day the national administration had in view the purpose of esta ablisning two porkless days Saturday and Sunday and thereafter, it is a violation of the rule to consume pork On Sunday or sell it on Saturday.
 'Victory bread" the new war bread, should not Ee consumed on wheatless days" Nr. Hollis said, be- cause there is considerable wheat in the loaf, and it is not intended that any wheat shall be consumed on wheatless days.
 James R. Walt has been appointed food adminisrator for Altheimer and vicinity, where, it is reported, there is some hoarding of food. One re port was to the effect that Italians in that neighborhood are buying and hoarding flour and sugar. This re- port will be investigated, Mr. Hollis said and should it develop that any family has more than reasonable supply, the flour and sugar will be communicated and put back on the market.

Big Army Ready t0 Go Need Ships
 For SupplieS---May Cut Imports
President Takes Up shippn Problems in Person-Big
 Transports Ready Borrow From Allies

Washington, Feb. 5.-President Will son took up personally the shipping problem tonight, and at conference with Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, went into the great problem of procuring tonnage for the movement of American troops and supplies over- seas. Every phase of the question was discussed, including the progress of the government building program. Plans for obtaining allied ships for transportation of soldiers, and ncgo- tiations with European neutrals for tonnage to release American vessels for transatlantic service. The presi- dent was particularly interested in the proposal to obtain additional ships by reducing imports, probably by one Ihalf. A full realization of the extent to which American troops movement to France depends on tonnage has come not only to this government, but to the allies as well, and it is indicated tonight that one of the chief topics at the recent session of the supreme coun- cil at Versailles was that of finding ships for that purpose.
 Big Army Ready.
 A big American army is ready to go, but before it is sent the war de partment wants to be assured it can be supplied. Ships are available to transport the men; the problem is keeping them furnished with materials with which to fight. A million men on the fighting front will require, accord ing to the best estimates available. from four to seven million tons of shipping in continuous service across the three thousand miles of water between Amarica and Europe. The United States can lay it's hany9sA on about four million tons now, and ex- poets to build during the year any where from three to six million tons more.
 Six Million Tons This Year.
 Frederick R. Harris, a civil enginer of the navy bureau of yards and docks, said today it is possible for the gov ernment to complete this year it's orig inal program of six million tons of construction. The president was told by Mr. Hurley that bad weather in January cut construction of com mandeered ships fully 60 per cent.
 The plan to reduce imports from both America and the orient, to re- lease ships for transporting troops and supplies, has been worked out at the shipping board. There has been no announcement as to the amount of ton mage the allies are ready to spare on their part in moving troops and sup plies. Already the British have turn ed over some ships for the purpose, and are preparing to release other steamers.
 In his testimony before the senate committee, Mir. Harris said the esti-

CHARGE R. R. MEN WITH DELIBERATE SMASHING SYSTEM Labor Heads Allege Man agements Try to Prove
 US. Control Failure. = SAY EFFICIENCY OF
 ROADS TORN DOWN Ice. Garretson and Others Astonish Wage Commission With Sensa-
 uonal Charges Against Former Employers.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Ineffcient op- pration of the railroads, resulting ir traffic congestion with it's grave at tendant evils. was charged by union labor leaders, at hearing today be- fore the wage commission, to a desire on the part of the arrangements of the systems to discredit the eight hour law and to make failure of governmen control. This situation, the commis sion was told by w. G. Lee, head of the trainmen; A. B. Garretson, head O. the conductors, and other witnesses, explains why the transr.ortation sys- tenn of the country, including ,such roads of splendid record as the Penn svlvania, suddenly collapsed. The brotherhood heads used such ex- pressions as "rotten railroading" to
 convey their opinion of ths way the business has been carried on since the
 government took charge, and they of
 fered to produce scores of instances of
 delayed crews, changes in personnel,
 and misuse of rolling stock, to prove
 their statements.
 The ordinarily quiet course of such
 hearing was ,ruffled from the very
 outset Lee and Garretson, appearing
 to press the claims of their brother
 hoods for wage increases, found sev- eral railroad representatives present,
 and immediately entered protest, de- claring they did not propose to deal
 with two sets of employers. The com
 mission explained that the railroad
 men were there by special invitation, to supplement- not antagonize the in formation presented bv the employees.
