When The War Is

1T Is not too early to consider post

cd In New York Is worth the serious
attention of communities all over
tie country.
Several hundred thousand men al
ready have been drawn from civil
walks to enter the army. leaving
their employments to be filled bv
others. The question of their reas-
similation into civil life when they
return from the war is vital one.
1t cannot walt for solution until
peace is restored.
Recognizing this fact New York is
setting on foot plans for the estab-
lIshment Of q bureau to secure az
far as It Is possible to do SO. en-
ployment for all New York soldiers
ON their return. The fundamental
idea Is to obtain the pledge of en-
ployers to- give preference to the
soldiers and sailors when they are
mustered out.
The plan Is an excellent one

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 iGurope's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
0fterward
The United States food admins
tratlon reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition TO
cooperate with the government in in
creasng 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
gu iillo SIdiu ieIaS--tIie tullIe neTuS
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, $160S; jan
larry, $14.40. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle ms
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 11,S07 ,000 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
341 900, a 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.
