could penetrate.
1t had been done before, of
course; the garrison Of Kut receiv-

and the like have been dropped at
various places. But it had never
been attempted on such a scale.
The cases of rations were brok-
en- up into appropriate parcels and
these were packed in sacks of
earth to cushion them for the fall,
while upon the front the hungry
divisions prepared the dumping
grounds and marked them with
large white crosses.
Some 80 machines shared the
work between them, including a
squadron of the fifth groups two
seaters. They lifted their loads
easily, and one by one they dipped
to the front; it was the front, too,
and close to the line. and dropped

ception committees below and re-

the ground, had to land, and by IL

10. = The German iron cross is
the prize souvenir, and to obtain
one the American soldier will glad
give several bags of tobacco and
gwen money in the bargain.
1t is an interesting commentary
on the esteem, or lack of esteem,
in which the cross is held by Fritz
that he parts with it in a great
number of cases and generally
with only expressions Of contempt
for it and it's significance. Even
German officers give up their cross
es occasionally.
Here and there is to be found
an American soldier who has q
German machine or automatic gun
as a souvenir, but only rarely, be-
cause they generally have a milf
tary value and are too bulky to be
used or carried. German carbincs
and rifles are more popular, al
though they, too, are almost i'm
possibly heavy and in the way.
Greatly coveted, though seldom
found, are the revolvers that Ger
man officers carry. Unlike the
American soldier, the German sell
dom il aver carries such a weapon.

TOXIC, Nov. Is. = Japan is as
loyal to the great alliance caused
by the war; as she is to the Anglo
Japanese alliance, declared Wis.,
count Uchida, the minister of for
eign affairs in the new Japanese
cabinet in an interview today. She
regards the alliance with. Great
Britain as the cornerstone of her
foreign policy, he added.
There can be no league of ma
tions unless there is among the
members as complete unity of con
fidence and trust in one another
as of purpose and counsel. The
'noblesse oblige' of the west or
the 'bushido' of the East must
permeate and guide the action of
any such league. Distrust and sus-
picion must be left outside the
door.
Japan has always ~endeavored
to make plain by word as we'll as
dertake a fair proportion of the
work looking to the attainment of
the common aim and she is as
loyal to the great alliance created
by the war as to the Anglo-Japan-
csc alliance which Japan invariably
regards as the cornerstone of her
foreign policy.

At the start they were in demand
as souvenirs, but are now far too
common. Even the inevitable
diary is no longer popular. 1t is
invariably written in illegible Ger
man script and contains little if
anything of interest.
Wrist watches have been consid-
cred since the beginning of the
war as the legitimate booty of the
c%onqueror. and many and many a

hundred watches, of course, are
virtually worthless, but the hun
dredth, originally the property of
some officer or aviator, is valuable
and a thing of beauty.
The list thus far comprises chief
ly the pure souvenir or remem
brance of the battle. In every re-
treat, however, the Germans have
left behind a whole gist of uten-
sils, tool boxes, cartridge cases and
general utensils, that are eagerly
picked up by those who want some
additional facility for carrying
their possessions with safety and
ease.

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 fiocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
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 live
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 vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands. have been turn
ed into grain ields-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,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, $16.OS; Jan
larry, $14.4O. 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
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,SO7 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 49,
341, 900, decrease Of 1876 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 Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.
