WORK HARDSHIP ON
LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS
Must Continue To Feed Cattle
and Hogs After They Are
Ready for Market

Washington, Feb 14.-Railroad and
marketing conditions are rapidly driv-
ing American meat producers. out of
business and menacing the country
with q meat famine.
There is no shortage of hogs or cat
tie today, but IS per cent Of the fat
tened cattle ready for the market on
January ! are still held in feeding
them to Chicago.
This was the testimony today before
the senate agricultural committee of
A. Sykes, Ida Grove, Iowa, president
of the Corn Belt Producers association.
The committee today opened an in
vestigation Of the whole farm produce
tion.
Patriotism alone is keeping thous-
ands of men in the livestock business,
said Sykes. Conditions as they are
now viii RUIN feeders.
Gin Iowa, Illinois, eastern Nebras-
ka and South Dakota, Missouri and
livestock farmers are los
ing SO a hundred pounds on their cat
tie because of inability TO ship it.
F'In addition, 4arge quantitie5 of
grain are being wasted, by being fed
to hogs and cattle which were ready
for market weeks ago.
Sykes declared the government "is
losing the confidence of the farmers
because farmers and livestock produe-
ers have been given no voice in the
food administration He scored the
slowness of the food administration in
fixing hog prices last fall. As result
Of uncertainty as to what the price
would be, livestock farmers last fall
rushed large numbers of partly fat
tened and brood animals to market
This has greatly curtailed the produe-
tion, he said.
Sykes told the committee that when
ears are made available to ship meat to
market packers will cut the price to
he producer giving increased increas-
IS as the excuse.
"But the price win not be reduced

HORF THAN BILLION
FOR War EXPENSE
Bill Reported by Committee
Teday Covers Numerous
.Em Operations
PERSHlNIeIGG PLEADS FOR
MORE WAR SUPPLIES
Testimony Taken Shows Vast
Cost Of All Branches Of
Military Activity

Washington, Feb 14.-Carrying ap.
preparations of $1,lO7, ,22O,OS226, of
which $685., ,654, ,3ss49 is recommended
for the war department, the giant ur-
gent deficiency bill was reported to
the house today.
Showing the ever soaring cost of war
ring the bill asks $100,000,000 for
ship production alone.
Tonnage lack, shipment of faulty
materials and congestion in supply re-
ceiving stations in France have great
ly delayed the work of General Per-
shing, according to secret testimony
made public with the report to the
house of the urgent deficiency meas
ure.
The bill is the largest Of its kind in
the history of the nation.
An appropriation of $140,O00,000 to
extend the depot and rail system by
which American supplies are distribut-
ed to the American bases in France,
heads tho items on the bill.
Instances of faulty materials being
sent Pershing were revealed in the
testimony of Major General William
black, chief of engineers.
A largo shipment of pilings for re-
ceiving docks, Black said was found
upon receipt to be $50 far out of
line" as to be useless.
Twenty thousand gas masks, after
reaching France, were 80 inferior to
British masks that they were discard
ed and other masks borrowed, Major
Bradley Dewey, medical department,
testified.
Black said Pershing was pleading
for more cars, locomotives, steel and
depot and railroad material. He wants
more engineer regiments to man the
road.
Several hospital cars, Black said,
not forthcoming from this country,
were purchased from England.
s'Before we went into the extensive
purchase Of materials for France, /"
Black said, "we made an agreement
with the French government to turn
it all over to France at the end Of the
war for her own railroad system. The
lines will be appraised and become a
French obligation to this country"
Gas masks, Dewey testified, are
now being shipped to Pershing at the
rate of $500 day; and in four weeks
will be sent over at the rate of twenty
thousand a day.
"We have made a total of 100000
masks so far" he said

SPECTACULAR ROLE.
By Henry Wood

Omitted Press Staff Correspohdent)
With the French Armies in the Field
Feb. 14.-Americal artillery played a
spectacular role in the big French at
tack in the Champagne region yester-
day.
The Yankee gunners, with unerring
accuracy, laid down barrage that cut
off the Germans from their communica-
tion trenches, preventing the boches
from retreating or bringing up rtin-
forcements.
Later, the American artillery circIed
the advancing French infantry with a
protecting fire. This curtain was main
tanned for some time to aid the poilus
in establishing their newly won position.
The American batteries effectively
destroyed German trenches, wire en-.
tanglements and Notifications.
The artillery preparation for the
French attack, which penetrated to the
third German line, lasted more than
six hours The Yankee gunners were
working like beavers all this time.
The French infantry leaped to the
assault on a 1900 meter front at AIS
0 clock, preceded by rolling barrage.
just an hour later an airplane observer
signalled to the American artillery
that all objectives had been attained
to the depth of mile. The Yankee
gunners Immediately switched to an
encircling barrage, which protected the
poilus in their new positions.
The French sent back $50 German
prisoners who had been unable to es-
cape through the American barrage.
