FOOD EXPORTS MUST Be
INCREASED SO PER CENT
In Order That This Country Carry
Out It's Part Of Pre-arranged
Program.

Louisville, October 29--For the rest
of the war, America is under a dou-
BILE obligation of food conservation.
We must send provisions to sustain
the armies and the Allies. We must,
so far as we can, share the extra bur-
den they have taken on themselves to
insure victory. The first part is plain.
II they are not fed, they cannot fight;
their essential supplies of wheat,
meat, fats and sugar must come more
than ever from the United States.
The second part is less familiar.
For the sake of victory, they have
again cut down their margin of COM
fort: we are bound more than ever to
see that If their food is less palatable
there shall be an ample margin of
nourishment.
What is 1t they have done? When
the Inter-Allied Food Council met
last summer, the program of victory
was laid down; to-wit: America
would add to their forces so many
men that Germany would certainly be
overpowered in 1919. Only one thing
was lacking-there were not ships
enough; they could not be built fast
enough to carry out this program.
The program could be completed in
only one way-by drawing ships from
other routes to ferry men and equip
ment and supplies across the Allan
tic. That meant giving up by the AL
lies of all but the bare necessities.
These necessities America agreed to
furnish in sufficient supply; the COM
forts, the Allies agreed to forego-to
cut down still further their margin of
comfort after four years of privation.
Without demur the Allies agreed
to the program. Stripping their COM
merce to the bone, they found mil
lion tons of cargo space to divert to
the army program, the. program OF
victory.
America, in turn, is obligated to
furnish the necessaries in place OF
the goods these ships would have
brought from other sources-the ne
cessaries to maintain health, comfort
and courage.
To carry out the food program to
which the United States is thus COM
laitted, the food exports of last year
must be increased by fifty per cent
1t can be done without serious pri-
,ation; it cannot be done without sell
denial of all the people,

TOBACCO INDUSTRY
VERY SATISFACTORY
Despite Burden of Taxes and the
Soaring Prices-.Iidsummer Ac-
tiyity Indicated By August
Statistics.

The midsummer activity of the to-
bacco manufacturing trade of the
United States seems to have been
quite satisfactory, according to the Of
fetal Government statistics for the
month of August, 1918, despite the
fact that there has been an unmistak-
able tendency to curtail production
since the war taxes went into effect a
year ago. Close students of trade
conditions declare that when the new
war taxes are added the boost i'll
prices of all kinds of tobacco products
which is certain to follow will bring
about still greater shrinkage in the
demand The statistics representing
the production in the various lines for
the past year, however, fail to indicate
that the tobacco industry will fall
apart because of tax burdens, and
general feeling of optimism seems to
prevail among the trade, notwith-
standing the perpleXing problems
caused by the unsettled conditions.
While all branches of the industry
have been rather heavily taxed and
the increase in the price of cigars pro-
baby proportionately greater than in
other lines, it is interesting to note
that there has been a slow but grad
ual improvement throughout the cur
rent year, the August output being the
largest since last April, while the
collections of internal revenue were
the greatest of any month on cigars
since last January. The elimination
of the Glass A cigar, made to retail
at cents or less, is shown by the fact
that the production has decreased
steadily, while those of the other
classes show record outputs in Au-
gust.
Cigarettes have failed to maintain
their former ratio of monthly gains
bpt still manage to mount upward al
a slower rate. Snuff manufacturing
seems to be quite active and smokins
and chewing tobacco show a fair in
crease under existing conditions,
The total internal revenue collec-
lions from all sources on tobacco pro
ducts in the United States during the
first eight months of 1918 amounted
to $115,S74,941.26, or an increase
over the corresponding period last
year of $44,265, 941.O9, or 81 per cent.
August collections show an increase
over the corresponding month last
year of $6,225 ,49S.7S, or 65 per cent.

Amsterdam. June 10.
The Dutch marine authorities have
submitted their first reports regarding
the sinking of the hospital ship Koningen
Regentes. 1t has been decided to refer
the matter to a special technical COM
mittee.
Doctor Rosen, German minister at The
Hague. has sent a message OF sympathy
to the Dutch Government regarding the
death of five of the crew. He also
offered condolences to the zealand COM
pany, owners of the vessel.
No new facts have come to light with
regard to the incident. save hat from
the Sindora. on which was Sir George
Coves's party. three mines were seen
Just before the Koningen Regentes
struck. In the meantime. however. vir-
tually the whole Dutch press regards It
as absolutely certain that the vessel was
torpedoed. and a wave Of anger has
swept through the country.
THE mad sea brute has done his
noble work. says the Nieuw Courant.
Unless the German Government accepts
full responsibility for this crime, 1t is in
duty bound to name the individual who
was responsible for the murder Of the
personnel on board this neutral ship"
The Nieuw Rotterdamsche Courant
thinks there is no room for doubt thai
the ship was torpedoed. and adds:
Deliberately TO torpedo a hospital
ship. the movements of which are
regulated by agreement between the
belligerents INC where absolute safety
was promised. is a case of such far
reaching untrustworthiness as even the
present wal had not produced
o the ruffian who has done this
the journal adds. there falls a heavy
responsibility on the eve of fresh negotia"
tons over the exchange of unhappy
prisoners. He has created an atmosphere
Of mistrust which will not help them"
