MEAT PRODUCERS
 DID FULL DUTY.
Increase in American Hogs Will Help to Meet World Fat
 Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation of Pork Production-Sevenfo Increase Over Pre-
 War Exports.

Through increased production and conservation we will be able this year to export seven times our pre-war average exports of pork products. With the heavy demands added in car freed from German oppression, the Department of Agriculture and the Food Administration are justified to- day in our every action of stimula ton of hog production. In the coming year the greatest world shortage will be in fats, and pork will help to save this situation. The efficacy of the policy of stimulated production has built up in this country supplies which will en- able us to supply very large part of the fat deficiency of the world. In beef there must be a shortage in Flu rope, due largely to limited refrigera- for ship capacity. All freezer ships available, however, will be filled by America, Argentine and Australia.
 The contribution made by the pro- ducers of this country to the war pro- gram as applying particularly to ami nal food products is illustrated by the following:
 Reports compiled by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture indicate an increase in cattle of 10,23S,000 head and 12,441,0 ,000 hogs. These figures were compiled to January l last.
 In this period there was a decrease in sheep of S19,000 heLd. The indica- tions are that this decrease will show an increase, according to recent re ports.
 Since January 1 unofficial infOrma- tion indicates an increase in logs of not less than 8 per cent and not more than 15 per cent. as compared with one year ago, with an increase in the average weight.
 Following the request of the U. s. Food Administration, for an increase in hog production for marketing in the fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the increase may yield not less than 1,600,- 100000 pounds more of pork products than were available last year. With out this increase the shipping program arranged by Mir. Hoover regarding an imal food products would have been impossible.
 The dressed hog products during the three months ending September 30 1917, amounted to 9O3, ,1T2, 900 pounds while for the corresponding months Of 1918 the dressed hog products totaled 1.377, ,5S9, ,00O, an increase of over 3T4,- 00o000 pounds for the quarter.
 During the same period for 1917 the records of inspected slaughter Of dressed beef showed 1,263 O"0 OO0 pounds as against l. 1.t540OO GOO. pounds for the three month period ending September l, this year.

off Italy from one of the sources of supply of manufactured products. It is not necessary here to enlarge upon the well known fact that Italian mar kets were largely under the domination of Germany and Austria. That is situation that is as well known to Americans as it is and was dis,asteful to Italians. And it might be said in passing that it is a situation that must be guarded against by allied co-opera- ton and sympathetic economic rela- tionship when peace comes.
 Mr Francis II. Sisson, vice presi- ,'ent of the Guaranty Trust Company, in a recent article on the economic situation of Italy points out that while Germany before the war dominated the foreign trade of Italy so far as manufactures were concerned, that country was one of the best customers of the United States in raw materials and foodsiuffs. That writer also points out that il was the adjustment of her industrial and commercial life to the burdenSome new conditions that has created an entirely xSr economic fab ric in Italy.
 "Italy's devOtis>N fi ileE resources to war purposes has Eeen complete" says Mir. Ssson. Her pre-eminence in the production of certain articles of con- merce marked her as the chief source of supply for similar products of a warlike nature. Her ordinary produc. ton of automobiles. aeroplanes, tur- pines and heavy oil engines has mere ly been intensified and modified ip the | direction of such a standardization as would permit quantity production" Financially Italy Responded We'll. Financially Italy also has responded to the demands of war with an open thandedness that has surprised even her self. From the first of August, 1914, to the end of 1917 the total expenditures of the state were $S,S95, 100000. Cal. culating on the basis of monthly aver age expenditure for the war of $24O, ,000,. 900, the total cost of the war to Italy would be more than $12,OOO,OOO,OOO. A further proof of the financial eff | fort Italy made for the war, notwith. standing her small means, are the five national loans. The first one yielded about $2O0, ,OOO, and it seemed 6 great struggle, yet still others were launched, all giving greater returns, and the last one, after the disaster of October, 1917, yielded about $1,. 3OO,OOO,OOO

lenged the admiration of the engineer ing world
 Over 2,5OO miles of roads have been constructed on the mountains of Italy and of Albania, and 1000 miles of aerial cable railroads tTeleferiche) have been built to carry food, ammu- milton and guns over deep ravines.
 Economic Difficulties.
 The magnitude of this military effort can be fully appreciated only when one takes into consideration the economic structure of the nation and the nature and number of its population. One must remember that out of SC 0J0O00 inhabitants in Italy at the beginning of the war only 100000 were male This seeming disproportiun is caused by emigration, which was largely con- posed of male adults. Out of those 100000 only 9,000,000 were adults economically productive Consequent- ly the subtraction of the mobilzed forces has had an acute reaction on the economic life of the nation. It is estimated that on an average only l00 adults remained in each town or viii lage to provide in each case for some 320 children below the age of fifteen Furthermore. the traditions of Ital- ian family life render the work of their women an economic factor of less inn pOrtance than in some other countries. though it has been utilized to the ut most and is becoming more available as old traditions give way 10 wars ne- cessity.
 No Troops From Colonies. Italy got no help from colonial con- tingents. On the contrary, the scarcity of native troops in Italy's colonies compelled the government to reinforce them with troops from the mother country. Nor has help come to Italy through the cooperation of workmen of neutral or allied countries Italy, on the other hand, sent a large con- tingent of skilled workmen to France, thus allowing her to release valued elements for war. Furthermore, near ly 500,000 of our male adults residing in America gave to this great nation direct contribution to her economic and military efforts.
 To meet their military obligations, therefore, the Italian people have been compelled to cut into the most urgent needs of agriculture and industry. Her continuous lack of labor has made the task of feeding the army and provid- ing It with munitions a most difficult one.
 And yet Italy, lacking labor and in dustrial development, lacking almost entirely coal and raw materials, has by miracle of energy been able to create almost from nothing a power full organization of war industries Difficult to Obtain Goods. l The very act of entering the war cut

 Information.
 The blood and treasure of Italy were freely spent in-the successful effort to put Austria-Hungary out of the war. While Italy's efforts were not confined to the Austrian front, her contribution to allied success was greater here than , ip the other places where her troops fought the battle for civilization. Her financial and industrial efforts have 1 been equal to her military effort, and : in all these directions Italy has not Jagged. behind her allies. That the | nature and extent of these efforts may be better understood by the American public, wish to review them briefly.
 Ill considering Italy's military con- tributions. let me emphasize the fact that her soldiers have not confined their fighting to their own soil. Like those of her allies, they have gone far afieid. They contributed largely to the glori- ous victory on the Balkan front. A large contingent in France first gave powerful aid in the defense of Rheims, then took part in the advance of the allied forces.
 ItaS Had 5,5ooO0o Under Arms. Since the beginning of the war Italy has called to the colOrs little less than $500. GOO men and has suffered a loss of almost 100000 of them. Of that loss nearly 35O,OO0 died in battle, and l0O,- 900 from disease. Over 550,000 are aif ni hu d. ness, loss of limb. or tuberculosis. At the present moment the strength of the Italian army is 4025, ,000, including | the class of men born in 1900, who have been called to the colOrs recent ly. It may be said, then, that the na- | tion's man-power has suffered a per- | manent loss Of neaS4y a million.
 But, serious as is this loss, Italy has | inflicted an even greater punishment l upon the foe In Austrian prisoners alone she has taken approximately a | million. The Austrian loss in killed and wounded is, of course, unknown estimates make it far greater than ours In the June offensive on the Piave alone over 100000 Austrian dead were left on the field.
 Fighting Under Extreme Difficulties Aside from their achievements in other theatres of the war, Italy's sol, ! diers have fought through fifteen flu rious offensives on the Isonzo and the Piave, infiicting terrible lossesson the I foe in each. These campaigns were carried on in mountainous regions and under rigorous weather conditions that taxed to the utmost the genius of the military engineers and the endurance of the troops. The foe, when hostili ties opened, were ~ntrenched in care fully prepared and seemingly impreg nable positions, backed by network of military roads and railroads. Or
 the Italian side were deep gorges, un
 scalable cliffs, almost impossible gla
 ciers, passes filled with snow and com manded by Austrian guns. There were

DEMOCRACY OF THE PoPEs.

Do you know why the Popes
through hundreds of years have ex-
ercised such influence, exercised such
authority, and displayed continuous
conspicuous ability?
The Popes have had the greatest
possible advantage over kings and en-
perors. Emperors and kings have
been selected by the accident of birth.
Popes have been selected by the Col
lege of Cardinals, a gathering of keen
ly intelligent men, with no thought ex-
cept to put at the head of the Church
the man best fitted for the work of
the period.
A humble shepherd, great prince,
a student, or man of fierce courage
like the Pope who brought the Ger
man Emperor to stand barefooted in
the snow before his palace-men of
power were wanted. Rank and birth
were nothing-the Church chose the
strongest man to be the head of the
Church, while for the temporal thrones
there came a succession of accidents
with an occasional success. No won
der the Papacy has endured with
power. 1t has been a democracy sur
rounded by haphazard autocracy.

Two other schools, the Immaculate
Conception Parish, and the Webster
Groves Loretto College, have each
raised $40 to be devoted to similar
purposes. This money in the case of
two of the schools has been made by
collecting tinfoil; the Loretto College
students raised the. money for their

of their candy money. Application
has been made to the Directress Gen
eral for the appointment of the other
two catechists. Hundreds of little

States, since the Sodality of St. Peter

AN AFRICAN MENU.

Last summer Bishop Viator, visited
Dibombari to confer the holy sacra-

tians. This was a great joy to the
heart of this good shepherd. Although
the rain fell in torrents the Christians
had come in great numbers to meet
their bishop.
The negro women were anxious to
wait upon the Bishop to the best of
their ability. To this end they helped
prepare dinner as good as ever came
from an African kitchen. Just have
a look at the list of good things they
served: Chicken with palm-oil and
Spanish pepper; Makabo and jams
with palm-sauce and pepper; cake
made of maize and ground beans with
earth-nut sauce; roasted earth-nuts
and fruit. A peppered menu; is it
not? This is not likely to be dinner
according to the taste of little Ameri-
cans.

bari, for the old one is much too
