WHY WE MUST SAVE MEAT
Statement Of the Reduction Of Sup
plies Among Our Associates
in the War.

Food Administrator Deems Is noti-
fed that a very great shortage exists
In English meat. The situation Is Of
interest and importance in view OF
the fact that the withdrawal Of meat
less days by the food administration.
was to continue until May l. The
reports from England are to the effect
that the amount OF homegrown meat
of ali kinds coming to the principal
markets there has averaged only So
100000 pounds per week since Janu-
airy 1, as against 227.OoO.oo0 pounds
average for the same period In 1915.
The number Of cattle coming to Eng
lish markets has decreased 60 per
cent. sheep 40 per cent and hogs 6S
per cent, compared to the same period
for 1915. These figures" said Mr..
Deems, "are q complete answer to
anyone who may raise the question
as to why 1t Is necessary for the
United States to send so much food
to our associates in the war"

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. I
WASHINGTON, June 18-Charges
that the liquor interests were disloy-
al and had been responsible for much
of the German propaganda in this
country were today made by Wayne B.
Wheeler, counsel Of the Anti-Saloon
league before the senate agriculture
committee.
Wheeler appeared to testify regard.
ing the constitutionality of the clause
o fthe Jones amendment that prohib-
its the sale of spurious liquors in
stock.
referring TO the activities of the
German-American alliance which re.
Gently disbanded, Wheeler said:
That organization had two objects,
to spread German kuItur and to fight
prohibition. It was backed by the
brewing interests Of the country and
derived large portion of its support
from that source.
While the society has been dis
banded in Cincinnati. at least other
associations had formed to carry on
the work"
Representative Clarence G.. Lea.
testified in support of the
grape growers of his state.

Government Will Not Tolerate Prof.
iteerins. boarding and Other
Offenses-

The Elmer Wood company Of Moul-
ton, Ia, has been put out of business
for profteering in eggs. The United
States food administration will not
tolerate boarding. profiteering and
other offenses against the law and the
regulations respecting food.
The Wood company sold large
consignment Of eggs to Swift q Co.,
receiving an unreasonable price. Inc
revocation of its license became er-
fectiye April "a, the food administra-
ton has announced In addition TO
losing its license, the Iowa concern
subscribed $4,000 TO the third Liberty
loan an amount equal to the excessive
profits derived from the transaction
with the Swifts, and donated the
bonds TO the American Red Cross.
linn & Co and the New York
branch of Swift & Co., were recently
forced to suspend dealing in eggs in
New York city for purchasing eggs at
an unreasonable price.
c. A. English of Ottumwa, Ia, who
acted as an agent for the Elmer Wood
company, but who had no personal In
terest in the eggs and no place Of
business in New York, has been di-
rected to subscribe 500 to the Red
Cross
After hearing before the federal
food administrator, the e. A. Brown
company of Luver2e. Mimi, has been
ordered to suspend its flour business
at Little Rock, Ark, from May to
August i, 1918.
Through its local manager at Little
Rock this elevator made q number Of
flour sales in February in total disre-
gard of the $3.50 rule. The con-
Germ had also before that made sales
Of flour in excessive quantities. The
facts were admitted by the president
of the concern at the hearing held in
st. Paul, Mimi, on April A.
AS part of the same penalty the
company is required to get back all
excessive flour sold since November
!, 1917. and to secure the sale of sub
stitutes omitted from its February
sales.

with an abundance OF war material.
Yet they have only progressed at
two points, where their gains are very
sslight compared with the detectives
assigned to them.
From captured documents and the
statements OF prisoners there is no
doubt the enemy command sent its
troops into the offensive with the
promise Of booty.
Cannon and trench mortars were
furnished the Austrians In large mum
bers by the Germans. In return, ac-
cording to prisoners, the Austrians
have permitted German 'reluisition'
battalion to operate on the Italian
front, in order TO secure a portion OF
the anticipated loot.
