PIGS AND PATRIOTISM.
Decreasing Pork Production Is Reason
for Alarm.

The increasing need for fats and the
decreasing pork production both at home
and abroad has become alarming.
First, let us consider the need The
food value of pork is very high. In Eu.
rope it has long been considered one OF
the main protein containing foods. There
is more heat and energy in pound OF
pork than in a pound of beef Think
what this fat constituent means as a
source of strength and energy to those
men in the cold wet trenches fighting for
you and for me!
Then word as to the present supply
The swine herds throughout Europe, in
GLIDING the enemy nations, have de-
creased very seriously since the war be-
gan
The normal supply to Great Britain
from Denmark, Holland and Sweden has
practically been cut off so that she now
looks to Canada and the United States
for all her needs. Everywhere i'll Eng
land the price has risen and the quality
deteriorated, many shops having none at
all on hand. In fact, there has been talk
of requisitioning the civilians supply en-
tirely for army needs.
And has America and Canada's produc-
ton advanced to cover this European
shortage? On the contrary, there are
4 900 900 less hogs in this country than
there were year ago. There is a short
age of 10 per cent in hog production in
the United States. In spite of this the
American people ate three and one-half
pounds more pork per person last year
than was the average annual consump-
ton for the three years before the war,
Now that our own army is IN the held,
there will be still heavier drain on our
pork supply. This we must meet both
by increased production and by economy
in our own consumption.
In Canada there has already been sys-
tematic saving in this direction. Bacon
less days in Canadian hotels and public
eating places showed saving OF 80 per
cent for September and Al per cent for
October over the corresponding months
If last year. 1t was estimated that the
monthly saving made in this way would
furnish days rations for more than
lalf of all the Canadian army.

Conscientious Object0rs
 Are Given Consideration

Washington, June 27.-Reports of many cases of cleared-up misunderstandings have come from the special board ap- pointed recently to hold personal inter- views with conscientious objectors at training camps, says an announcement today by the war department. Figures for Camp Gordon, Ga, are given to illus trate the boards work.
 There P segregated objectors were per- suaded to accept non-combatant service under the provision of the Presidents 5 order. Twelve of the. men withdrew their objections, or it was found that they had misunderstood the original questions and should not have been classified as conscientious objectors.
 Fifty four men who failed to convince the board Of their inability to take up military service without violating their conscience. were ordered to accept serv- ice or make themselves liable to court martial. Twenty-three men of religious scruples were regarded as sincere in their convie tions and recommended for furloughs at private,s pay to do farm work Four cases in doubt resulted in sending the men to Fort Leavenworth for further examination. Of F others, eight claimed enemy citizenship, but as they had no way of substantiating their claims. the board held they should no. be so classified Four men who were in hopsital were not examined.

June 27---Debate on the Fall amendment to the s12,O00 ,O00,O06 army appropriation bill providing for extension of the draft ages to 20 md 40 years was resumed in the Senate to- day. but consideration of the measure was so delayed by the fight on the suf- frage amendment resolution that 3 vote was not reached. Leaders to- night hoped to dispose of the amend- ment and possibly pass the bill tomor- row.
 At the conclusion of the brief dis cussion today, Senator Fall said he ex- pected that his effort to extend the draft ages would be futile and the gen. eral opinion of senators seemed to be that the amendment would be re- jected.
 Senators Reed. Lodge and Cummins in urging upon the Senate the necessity for immediate extension of the draft ages, challenged the opinion of Secre- tary Baker and General March, chief of staff. that the legislation is not needed at this time Senator Reed, however,
