REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea Of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1, 1914, to
January 1, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,10O,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for %, $40 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4,OOO,OOO bushels.
Pork exports for the 31s years amount
ed to almost 2,OO00O0,O0O pounds. Tx
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, ,484, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
ia putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks Of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January |, Australia had
stored 1OO,0OO,0O0 bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an eXportable surplus of SOOOO,-
900 bushels. Now Australia has
Approximately 18O,O00,OOO BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
70,00O,000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
50,000,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
DING season with 100000
HIShels of wheat left in the

RAIN STARTS ICE
IN WEST RIVER
Flowage Largely Increased in Connec-
ticut River-UserS of Electric
Power Well Supplied.

Eighty-four hundredths of an inch of
rain fell Yesterday. This was a sub
stantial rainfall, but the driving wind
made it seem more than it really was.
The effect of the rain was especially
noticeable in West river and in Whet
stone brook, in fact all the small
streams. The thaw of the previous few
days had rotted the snow to a large
extent and the rain took off a large
amount of the snow. The ice in West
river has broken up above Townshend
and the ice went over the railroad
track III some places. lee III Milestone
brook has broken up above the Holden
& Martin lumber yards and has piled
up in that locality but no special dam
age has been done.
lee in the Connecticut remains firm
but there is a largely increased flow
age, and at the power plant of the
Connecticut Power company this noon
it was stated that customers could
have all the power they desired for the
present at least. Snow slid off the
roof of the Carpenter organ building
on Elliot street this morning anC
crushed in the roof of the boiler house
which was carrying large weight o.
snow.
