need BIG HERDS
Ewops's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate. Evea
a Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their focks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre-
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 q 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
or European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated ylr-
tually all the cattle In the invaded
territory = approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines, n,
But In England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields--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,
s17.76 per 100 pounds October, S17. .28 ,
November and December, s10.OS; jan
larry, sl440. 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 l4.S07 900 head Of
cattle In 1918, she now has only 12,-
41.000, decrease OF 18.6 per cent.
And France 10 today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared 10 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 o. the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely In the produc-
tion Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than ID the pro-
duction OF cereals for export when
the war viii have ceased.

To fOOzle in golf is to encourage

At such times he will snarl at his best

But the luxuries Of railroad travel

three thousand should be trained road

The regiment will cut from the
French forests the immense amounts
of trench and bridge timbers, crossties,

houses. and fuel, which our armies and
those of the allies will need. A SINH

summer and has been hard at work in
the woods for some time.
Canadians Started II.
The idea of the "Lumberjack regi-
ments" Is not original with this cOun-
try. Early in the war Canadian for
estry battaliOns were sent across to
help manufacture the needed lumber
and timber products, while last spring
soon after the United States entered
the struggle ten sawmill units were
equipped by lumbermen of New Eng
land for service in Great Britain.
Not many people think of France as
having much timber. Indeed the ex-
tent of the French forests cannot COM
pare with our own. But there Is more
timber than is generally known. The
French have found that it pays to
grow a crop of trees on poor, rocky
steep land, just as 1t pays to grow a
crop of wheat on the better soils. They
have practiced forestry for generations
and instead of slashing their timber
Unfortunately they handle their hold

Paris-AttentiOn has been attracted
to the use the Germans make of the
theater as a vehicle Of propaganda by
a recent suggestion that the Paris the
alters be closed to save fuel. Fortu-
nately this short-sighted policy has
not been adopted 1t would have add
ed to the war-wOrn atmosphere Of the
capital without accomplishing any good
results. But the agitation has served
the purpose of revealing that the al-'
lies have made no organized attempt
to keep alive in neutral countries In
terest in their language, their ideals,
their literature, through their theaters
and music. while the Germans have
overlooked no opportunity.
1t is not saying too much to insist
that never has the theaters been so
necessary as now to public life. For
today, more than ever, men-soldiers
or civilians-need the relief from the
strain of war afforded by a relapse
into the realm of fantasy, visit to

Used In German Propaganda.
That II is q mistake to look upon the
theater only as place Of amusement
is amply demonstrated by the Ger
mans. who have made Of it a weapon.
Their actors, their singers, their mu-
s,c,ons have never been buster at home
and abroad as since the beginning of
the war. In neutral countries, Swift
erland. for instance. from the day of
mobilization, the German actors ap-
nearing in Swiss theaters were re-

Teutons Pay Singers Salaries.
A German consul sent for the direc-

that whenever they engaged German
k6ingers or turns" they would have

Sest Of their salary, he said, no matter
how large. would be assumed by the
German authorities.
That Is the reason why, in the mu-
sic halls Of the big neutral city in
question. you hear nothing spoken but
German.
This striking Illustration Of the thor.
oughness Of the German propaganda
which expends millions for musical
and theatrical performances is in
striking contrast to the do-nothing pol

Is why Switzerland asks: "Does
