l.iSO MILES OF MOVIE FILMS

More than 1880 miles of moving
icture films-approximately 100000
cet-are being used each week in
irmy Y. M. C. A. screen entertain
lents for soldiers at home and abroad
recording to a compilation received
here today from the National War
York Council of the Y. NJ. c. A. II
IS shown that on an average there is
enc moving theater to each unit of A.
90 or 5000 fighting men.
This total is divided into what are
called programmes, which average
five reels or 5000 feet. There are
some circuits where a programme
will be constantly in use for thirteen
weeks. At many camps and canton
ments in the central military depart
ment, as well as at Great Lakes train
ing station and the chain of aviation
fields, a programme frequently stays
for more than a week, being exhibit
ed in the Y. M. C. A. huts and camp
theaters.
Every reel shown to the soldier
boys is cencored before exhibiting,
but there is lots of heroism found in
every real besides subjects that in
spire big thoughts and those that ap-
peal to sentiment.
While every Y. NJ. c. A. hut in this
country has its motion picture a.
paratus and operators, the Commul
ity Motion Picture Bureau, throl
which the Y. NJ. c. A. is handling its
screen entertainment business, has
organized chain of moving pictures
on the western front from Ypres to
Lorraine. These entertainments are
being supplemented by musicales and
theatricals.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is now recruiting
q large force of motion picture oper-
ators for service overseas. Men Of
draft age who cannot satisfy their de-
sire to enter the combat sections of
the nations service because Of pro-
nounced disability will be considered
by the Y. NJ. C. A. for service not far
from where the shells are exploding
and the shrapneI Is shrieking. Any
man over the DRAFT age will be ac-
cepted on proof Of his qualifications.

ARGENTINE FROZEN MEAT IN
DUSTRY

Washington, May 9-Some idea OF
the growth of the refrigerated meat
industry in Argentina may be CLEANED
from the official statement of Argen-
tina's director general of national
| statistics, who has published figures
showing that in 1910 Argentina ex-
ported 362,SS5 tons of frozen means,
total value 4S,431,9 39 gold pesos (gold
peso worth $0.965), while in 1917 the
total exported was 559,216 tons worth
1877, OS5,392 gold pesos.
In 1910 the United States was on a
protective tariff basis and, with the
exception of sausage castings, prac-
tically no meat products whatever
were being imported from Argentina.
On October 3, 1913, the Democratic
tariff law became effective. Riveted
to that tariff law was gold plated
guarantee that free trade would re-
duce the cost of living, and, as it look
ed like pure gold, many of the people
were fooled for time. All meat pro-
ducts were made free. The law
(Which is still in force) had free op-
Grafton for ten months, October, 1913,
to July, 1914, inclusive, before the Eu-
ropean war broke out and switched
the channels of trade. During that
tein months period our imports of
meat products totaled in value $685.
100000, compared with $S,366,OOO dur
ing similar ten months, October,
1912, to July, 1913, under protection.
Of fresh meats alone we imported
231 ,650,50O pounds during the 1914
period, and by far the greater pro-
portion CT it came from Argentina.
Still prices went up.
60 great was the promise held out
by our free market to American in
vestors in the Argentine refrigerate
meat industry, that almost weekly our
trade papers carried reports Of new
rlants being erected in the Argentine,
backed by American capital and en-
ploying Argentinian labor, to supply
the American market with meats in
competition with our home-raised
supply. This accounts in large meas
rue for the large development of the
meat business in the southernmost
republic of the world.
Under present war conditions the
difficulty is to produce enough meat
products to supply the inordinate de-
mand, hence every producer is as
sured of ready sales at satisfactory
prices, and comuetition for a particu-
lar market is for the time being in
allegiance. But the end of the war
will find these Argentine plants de-
veloped to high state of efficiency
and production, and with free trade

u. S. Steel's Untitled
Tonnage Larger
First Increase Since April Due
Partly to Smaller
SHIPMENTS

For The first time, since April, 1917,
the untitled tonnage statement Of the
United States Steel Corporation shows
an increase in the amount of business
on hand, the report as of December 81
last showing total of orders on the
books of 9,3Sl,71S tons, an increase of
4S4,612 tons, compared with the pre-
ceding month.
A year ago the untitled orders Of the
Corporation aggregated total of H.
SAT. 1886 tons, while the high water mark
of last April was 1913 OS3 tons of un-
filled business. In the steel trade it
was pointed out that the December fig
ures indicated that incoming new busi-
ness during that month had been near
ly 10000 tons a day in excess of actual
shipments.
Inability of the corporation to ship
its products, due to the inadequate
transportation facilities. rather than
any marked increase in the volume of
new business, is said to have been
mainly responsible for the increase in
untitled orders.
The following table gives the untitled
tonnage Of the Steel Corporation at the
close of each month since January, 1915:
