Total Tonnage of These Vessels

Over 600, 900 Tons.

With the American Army in

ready for the high seas service, most
materials to France, is approximate

number already arrived safely in en-
tente allied ports is the Leviathan,

These figures demonstrate the falsity
OF recent German claims, and the

SECRETARY DANIELS TELLS
OF THE EFFECTIVE CHANGES

Washington, Feb. 4.-Secretary
Daniels, discussing the dispatch
from the American army headQuart-
crs in France regarding German
ships being used to transport
American troops abroad, disclosed
that between 100000 and 100000
tons of former enemy shipping now
is actively engaged in augmenting
the expeditionary forces and main
tanning their supply.
The Leviathan, formerly the Va
terland, is capable of carrying up to
10000 troops in a single voyage,
Mr.. Daniels said, but 5000 was con-
sidered the largest number which
could be comfortably accommodate
ed. In connection with the repair
of the Leviathan, it was learned
that alterations made by American
engineers resulted in the increase OF
several knots in her speed. One in
stance of improvement over the
work of German shipbuilders was in
the steam distribution system which
was found to be so inefficient that a
large part Of the boiler power did
not reach the engines.
The greatest single factor which
operated for the quick return to
service Of the German ships was the
use OF new methods of welding by
the engine RS assigned to repair the
damage done the ships engines by
their German crews. These permit
ted the repair of damaged engines
without the necessity of removing the
heavy parts and actual tests were
said to have proven that these weld
ings are stronger than those made
under old methods.

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
warning Nations Have Depleted Live
stock at Enormous Rate, Eve,
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their hocks 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 govsrnme0t In In
creasins the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today II 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 1,SOO, 900
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 2,4OO, 900
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
'h"Aiihuh price sCdIe adopted Dy the
English as follows: For September
$l7.I6 per 100 pounds; ; October, S17. .2S /;
November and December, Sl6.OS; Jan
larry, Sl4.4O. 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,S07 900 head of
cattle In 1913, she now has only 12,-
34l 800 decrease OF 1873 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 Ad-
ministratiOn that the future problem
OF America lies largely In the produc-
ton OF meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than I'm the pro-
duction OF cereals for export when
the war will have ceased

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about The bread program In
England. 1t Is true that the English
man buys II loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but II is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OO.OOO.OOO year toward the
cost Of 1t.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at q price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at 1S cents. the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France. under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells Tor
10 cents.

COUNT CZERNIN PEACE
AIMS STORY EXPLODED
AUSTRIAN Premier Assured People
President Wilson Would Get 1t
Immediately by Telegraph"

Washington, Jan. 31.-The story
that Count Czernin told Austrian
delegates he had sent a copy of his
war aims speech to President Will
son in advance Of delivery was
exploded by a cable received at the
state department quoting an extract
from the Berliner Tageblatt, ex-
planning that, refusing to transmit
his address directly to the President,
Czernin said he would get it "imme-
diately by telegraph"
The Berliner Tageblatt said:
"It would be wrong 10 take
Czernin's statement too literally
and to believe that the American
President received directly or indi-
rectly from Austria a special report
on the speech. The facts are as fol-
lows:
"a socialist delegate requested
Czernin to transmit his reply to
Wilson through the intermediary of
neutral country.
"Czernin refused, saying Wilson
would get it, the speech, immediate
ly by telegraph. Thus the express
sion at the same hour is not to be
taken literally. With the exception
of Zechs and the socialists, who pre-
ferred direct communication to Will
son, all others were satisfied with
Czernin's reply. 1t can be reiterated
that there was no direct communi-
cation and that the good Offices of
neutral powers were not requested. ;"

WARN DEALERS AGAINST
THE LIFTING OF PRICES
tnwarranted Charges For Wheat
Flour Substitutes Forbidden.
Says administrators Hoover.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Unwarrant-
ed price increase in wheat -four sub
stitutes will not be permitted. The
food administration tonight gave
warning to dealers that they must
not take advantage of temporary
shortages in other cereals brought
on by the heavy demand the new
baking regulations has caused.
Many complaints reached Food
Administrator Hoover here that
dealers in the substitutes already
have begun to lift their prices.
Mills of the country" said Mr..
Hoover, ARE prepared to meet the
greater demand of housewives and
bakers for other cereals during the
next few months. Lack of transpor-
tation is the only factor that will
stand in the way Of proper distribu-
-tion throughout the country.
AT least one of the substitutes is
produced in quantity in almost every
part of the country. If any shortages
occur they will be local. The supply
of substitutes is ample to meet our
needs and it is confidently expected
that with the freer movement of
grains to the mills and Of the finish
ed product to the consumer lower
prices than those now prevailing
will result"
