Increase ........... s44, 600, 900 lbs

Increase ............ $4,000, 900 lbs.
Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is dueSto conservation and
the extra weight Of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect Of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last
half Of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies we're 2,133, 100000
pounds, as against 1895, 100000 pounds
In the same period Of the year before
This compares with an average Of
801 100000 pounds of total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re-
duced to terms Of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:
Fiscal year 1867. .259, 90O,0 900 bushels
Fiscal year 1917-1S. $40, 800, 900 bushels
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1918-08-15
$4,000, 900 bushels

Increase $4,000, 600 bushels
OF these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-1S to Allied destinations were
Wheat 131, 100000 bushels and Of rye
100000 bushels, a total of 144,9OO,-
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1861 were !:
Wheat 135,1O0,OOO bushels and rye
100000 bushels, total of 1877 100000
bushels. In addition some 10,OOO,OOO
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore, about 141,OOO,-
bushels Of prime breadstuffs. In ad-
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
"This accomplishment of our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly if we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1867
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumptionN about
2O0,0O0,000 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr.
Hoover said. This last year, however.
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop. we had available from net
1carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal cOnsump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting a much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
Il am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report, 'that all the
millions OF our people, agricultural as
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel very
definite satisfaction that in a year Of
universal food shortages in the north.

the situation was met. The voluntary.
conservation program fostered by the
Food administration enabled the piling
up of the millions Of bushels Of wheat

The total value of all food ship

J-BOAT RAIDS A BLTNDFR.
Nice-President Marshall Believes the
 Kaiser Made Another Error.

Philadelphia June 12.-The Kaiser never made a greater tactical blunder in this war than in sending his sub marines against the Atlantic seaboard, in the opinion of 1VicePresident Thomas R. Marshall. The vice-p presi- dent came here yesterday to receive a degree at the commencement exercises of Villa Nova college.
 "The submarine attacks on the United States are only another exam pie of the false psychology of the Hun" the vice-president said. ''The Kaiser thought he could frighten the spirit of the nation to even greater determination to crush the Hun now and forever.
 "The Kaiser said to himself: Brighten the United States. Bring the war home to them and every mother will hesitate before she sends her boy to the front
 If it had been a German mother he might have succeeded, but he does not know the American mother, tha is plainly evident. The German mother thinks only of her own son. To the American mother every son is her son in a patriotic sense. To kill any American boy is to strike at every American mother
 And that has been the boomerang effect of the latest Hun raids. These visits of the sea wolves to our doors have stirred the nation as a whole and make us determined more than ever before to crush the Hun, his auto cracy, his kultur and his warped ideals.
 Even aside from the failure of the effects desired, the U-boat raids were not successful. The damage has been small compared with the effort ex- pended to send this fleet to American waters.
 'T am not a military man. I can't discuss the future course of the war, but I can say that we must soon have an army in Russia and Serbia as a wedge to enter the back door of Ger many; also an American army in Italy. | That, to my mind. is the vulnerable | point for attack We can hold on the western front, but we can brea k 1 through Italy and strike at the Hun l through his back door,

 The presidents views were given in a letter to Secretary Lansing a copy of which was sent to Chairman Hitch cock, of the foreign relations commit tee.
 The presidents letter said:
 ''I wish you will be kind enough to formulate a careful and conclusive memorandum for the use of the com mlttee of the senate With regard to the enclosed resolution. I take it for granted that you feel as I do, that this is no time to act as the resolution proscribes and certainly when I pro not that there should be no private discussions of delicate matters, but that no secret agreements should be entered into and that all international relations, when fixed should be open, above board and explicit
