WASHINGTON, March 12.-Evi- dence that the public made general re- sponse to the food administrations ap- peal for increased production and de- creased consumption of meat, is shown in statistics furnished the food admin is-ration today by the department of agriculture.
 Meat animals in the United States increased 6,30O,O00 in the year ending January 1, 1918, the increase consist ing of 1.247.000 cattle. 3,7S1,000 hogs and 1,2S4,000 sheep. Inspections of beef for slaughter increased 2,039. .651, or 245 per cent, but inspections of hogs decreased 21.3 per cent. more than 9,000,000 head, and inspections of sheep fell off 219 per cent, approxi- mately 2,50O,000 head
 The gains in available meat indicated by these figures were what caused the food administration recently to relax restrictions on meat consumption, so that there might be greater saving of wheat for export.
 Exports of all kinds of meat de- creased during the year, due to lack of ships.
 Prices paid for meat animals were higher than ever before. The average price of beef advanced 22.1 per cent. from $9.50 per 100 pounds in 1916 to SLIGO in 1917. Hogs advanced from s9.60 to $151O, total of 57 per cent, and sheep increased 40 per cent, from s7.S5 to $11.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-PrOteStS against the war departments new pol icy of issuing casualty lists without addresses continue to reach members of congress. and the subject was de- bated today in the house.
 President Wilson is understood to be giving personal consideration to the reasons for the change and it is known that the department has asked General Pershng who suggested it at the instance of the French government to forward full statement of the mili- tary consideration involved so they may be laid before the American public.
 Members of the cabinet said after today's meeting that the matter was not discussed there.
 In connection with the plan now be- ing considered of issuing lists twice a month or once a week instead of daily, it has been suggested that under this scheme there might be no objection to giving addresses and names of rela- tives of the men. One of the chief ob- jections to the old plan was the an nouncement of the dates on which the giving the enemy exact information as to the results of certain engagements.
 Plan Causes Heartaches
 In the house Representative McKen- zie of Illinois. republican. cited the case of Montana man whose name, appearing on a casualty list. was iden- tical with that of a boy in the army from an Illinois town. He was joined by Representative Little of Kansas and Representative Graham of Illinois, re- publicans insisting that names should not be made public without addresses
 Representative Glass of Virginia Garrett of Tennessee and Humphreys of Mississippi, democrats, defended the action of the department, saying the decision had been reached by men who knew more about the question than members of congress. Representative Garrett said the newspaper had failed to impress upon the people the fact that the department promptly notified the relatives of each man whose name appears on a list.

BOSTON, March 12.-Increased cost of living and failure of employers in many cases to anticipate this influence has been one of the important contri- butory causes of recent strikes, accord ing to the report issued today by the national industrial conference board on strikes in American industries in war time
 From April to October 6, 1917, there were strikes at 2,521 establish ments the existence of which was def initely verified by the board. Each establishment was asked to report on causes, but complete information was received from only 1,156. These plants showed 2S3.402 men idle and 6,2S5,519 days of production lost. Opinions were asked also of labor commissioners and mediators. Direct conference ap- peared to have been the most satis- factory method of settling disputes.
 Conclusions of Board
 The conclusions of the board as to the causes of the unsettled conditions of labor are that the following influ- ences were of primary importance;
 Increased cost of living and failure of employers in many cases to antici- pate this influence.
 Widespread discontent due to a be- lief that undue profits had been made by employers out of war business.
 Increased independence of the worker, due in part to labor shortage and in part to a feeling that the situa- tion constituted labor's opportunity fol forcing union recognition or closed shop conditions.

 LONDON, March 12.-The death of Mrs. Lena Guilbert Ford, the American woman who wrote Keep the Home Fires Burning" one of the most pop ular marching songs of the British ar my, and her crippled son, Walter, was a pathetic incident of the German air raid on London. They died under the wreckage of their home.
 An English maid, Annie Coxall, by remarkable display of courage, saved the life of Mrs. Fords mother, Mrs. Brown, S6 years old, although the aged woman was seriously injured
 The king and queen sought out Miss Coxall at the scene of the explosion Saturday and expressed their warm admiration for her heroic behaviour
 In Bed at Time of Raid
 Mrs. Ford and her son were in bed at the time of the raid in adjoining rooms on the second floor of four story house in a long block of substantial brick structures. A bomb appears to have hit the roof close to the partition wall dividing the Ford house from the ad- joining building. It shattered the roof and upper floors, which gradually col lapsed, with part of the wall.

 Entire Family Killed
 l The two upper floors of the house i were occupied by another family, all of whom were killed. Mrs. Ford's mother, Mrs. Brown. occupied a room on the first floor, directly under Mrs Ford's chamber, while beneath her in a small basement bedroom was Mrs. Ford's maid, Annie CoXall.

 February 20, 1918. My dear Mir. President:

 Wants View First Hand
 "Of course, we are constantly having officers of the several armies returning from France with information and rec concentrations. But they frequently serve only to illustrate the impossbi- ity of securing a complete view of the situation by any other source than a personal inspection.
 Tn addition to this the relatives and friends of our soldiers are deeply con- cerned to know the conditions under which these soldiers live and the en- vironment in which they find them selves It will be of importance if can give comforting assurances as the result of an actual visit to the camps and it may be that l can suggest bet terments as the result of our experi- ence here where great encampments have been built up, and a most whole some and helpful environment pro- vided with the cooperation of all the helpful and sympathetic agencies which the people of the country have placed at our disposal.
 Absent Short Time Only "The various organization in the war 1 department have now progressed to a place where l feel that they will pro- ceed uninterruptedly with their task, and 1 can with more comfort than would have been possible at an earlier time, be absent for a brief time. I am writing, therefore, to ask your consent to my absence long enough to pay hurried visit to France for such an inspection trip as 1 have herein outlined. My plans would carry me to France and would include a thorough inspection of our ports, lines of trans portation and communication and camps, with a brief visit to Paris and London.
 Respectfully yours,
