He refused to discuss the kaiscr's

er of every pound of leaf tobacco is
fully two dollars per pound. A hur
RED computation wherein the British
| duty on imported tobacco is placed at
$1.54 per pound; the average cost at
40 cents to the British purchaser and
the ocean freight about 10 cents per
pound make up it's high estimate of
the cost of raw leaf tobacco in Eng
land. So great is the demand, how
ever that the British importers are
fairly clamoring for more American
tobacco to supplant the large normal
european growth, now either curtail-
ed immensely or prevented by war
from, being imported into England
Besides the normal imports of Euro
pean tobacco we doubt not that i'm
ports from South Africa and India
and other Asiatic points is almost
wholly suspended, owing to lack of
ships, the perils of war navigation
and the necessity of giving precedence
in freight transportation to food
stuffs.
The fact that tobacco is eagerly

prohibitive cost that may be put upon

cloquently Of the tremendous present
and continuing demand. 1t is abso-
lutely safe to forecast an even greater
demand during the coming year, and
whenever there is the prospect of
large profits, there will always be
men who will take the risk of trans.
porting it. Even if the war should
end tomorrow the demand for tobacco
would Immediately become unprcce-
dented and it would be several years
before normal or prc-war supplies
were accumulated by the European
countries.
We cite these facts and figures by
way of assuring tobacco growers that
they need not fear overproduction and
declining market, even if the labor
were available to increase the produc-
ton: The fact is that with another
draft in sight the available labor sup
ply is going to be further depleted,
and unless the female labor on the
farms is attracted blythe prospects of
liberal returns for their work, it is
going to be difficult, if indeed possible

WAR EXPENDITURES
ARE RELATIVELY Low
McAdoOs Statement Covers Half of
Fiscal Year Up to First
of January
MILITARY, $1,762,0O0,O0O
Shipping Board Spcut Sl69,922,O0O;
Navy About Equal Estimate
$3.50, 0,936,000

Washington, Feb. 17.-Details of
how various government departments
are spending money in the war emcrg-
ency were disclosed today in a finan-
cial statment by Secretary McAdoO
covering the first half of the fiscal
year up to January /.
The military expenditure was ST.
762 200, 900 in the six months, as com
pared with estimates Of War Depart
mcnt heads that expenses for the en-
tire year ending next June 80 would
be $780, 100000. Although the rate
of expenditures consequently was far
under the early estimates, the treas
ury statement shows that the outlay
is increasing rapidly, amounting to
$3.50, 100000 in December, as compar-
ed with 1887, 100000 the month before.
Shipping Board
A similar relatively low rate of ex-
penses was recorded for the shipping
board which spent $45,774 900 in De-
month previous, making total expens-
es for the six months $169,922, 900.
Estimated expenses for the whole
year were $901, 10000.
The navy expenditures were about
equal to reliminary estimates,
amounting to $550,936,O00 for the six
months, as compared with the cstmat-
ed 5000, 100000 for the year.
These three departments accounted
for the great bulk of the government s
expenses. Th outlay for most others
was approximately the amounts an
ticipatcd.
The net public debt of the United
States was $G,6G4 ,359,007, about a
billion dollars more than the month
before.

CANNOT SUPPLY THE
DEMAND FOR TOBACCO

According to carefully prepared
government reports, the total quantity
Of tobacco on hand in the warehouses
of manufacturers and dealers in this
country on January 1st, 1918, aggre-
gated 1,176,234,657 pounds. This in
cludes 779,292,224 pounds for which
the marked weight was reported at
the time it was packed or bailod, and
6,942,4 ,433 pounds for which the ac-
tual weight was reported. OF the to-
al, 1,036,436656 pounds was un-
stemmed, and 139,798,00O pounds
stemmed leaf tobacco.
Dividing the stock on hand (ccxuls-
i've OF that in growers hands) into
it's various classifications, there were
1893, ,404 ,555 pounds Of chewing, smok-
ing, snuff and export types, compared
with 758,378,735 pounds on January
lst, 1917. The quantity Of hurley to-
bacco on hand January 1st, 1918 was
!n ,206,800 pounds, compared with
!88,157,761 pounds on the correspond
ing date year ago. The stock of
Virginia sun-cured (of which Rich
mond, Va, is the leading market) was
5,711,921 compared with 8,9O6,732 a
year before. Of Virginia>-farm tobac-
cos on hand there were on January
1st, 1918 a total of 5,122,818, compar-
GU VIII 4o,o4f,0Il the year before.
The figures for the bright yellow
districts of Virginia, North Carolina,
and South Carolina in which this city
is particu larly interested are as fol-
lows: 428,913,604 on January /, 1918.
compared with 332,360,249 year be-
fore an increase of such stock on hand
of nearly a hundred million pounds
This increase has been gradual since
last April and is to be expected, since
the sale of tn crop grown in 1917 is
now nearing its end, and sufficient
time to handle and manufacture or ex-
port it has not yet been afforded. 1t is
probable, too that the crop was con-
slderably. larger than that grown in
1916, owing to the extraordinary de-
mand and resultant high prices. Yet,
great as this stock of bright tobacco
is, it does not nearly equal the de-
mland for it, which is constantly grow
ing by leaps and bounds. If facilities
were Immediately aavilable to export
it, this entire stock would soon be
quickly depleted.
1t is remarkable tribute to the de-
mand for American leaf tobacco that
the English importers are crying for
it, Notwithstanding the fact that the

HOSPITAL MARK

Patients in the Building Badly Shaken
by Explosions

With American Armies in France,
Saturday, Feb. 16.-(By the Associ-
ated Press).-An American field hos
pital in town within our Allies ap-
parently was the target for German
aeroplane which flew over it last
night and dropped several unusually
heavy bombs.
The hospital, in which were num-
ber of sick and wounded officers and
men, was the building nearest the
places where the German airmen
dropped two different sets of bombs.
Fortunately none of the missiles
reached their mark, although the hos
pital patients and the residents Of
the town were severely shaken by
the explosions. American anti-air-
craft guns engaged the enemy, but
without success. The hospital prob
ably will be moved to less danger

mans, Says Noted Officer
U. S. OFFICERS CONFIRM 1T
Declare Their Chief Trouble is to Re-
strain impetuosity of
: Their Men

Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France, Feb. 17.-American
and French troops for several days
back have been holding in unison the
front line trenches on one of the most
famous battlcfields of the war, the
name of which is known throughout
the world. The immediate impression
gained in conversation with both
French and Americans facing the en-
emy side by side is that the unison
is not only Of fighting forces, but of
firm purpose to win victory by mu-
tual aid.
"There is only one criticism to be
made in connection with the Ameri-
cans, said distinguished officer to
the correspondent who spent whole
Day among the Americans holding the
line. "They are too anxious to get
at grips with the enemy"
American officers confirmed this,
declaring that their chief trouble was
to restrain their men.
Well Satisfied
1t is inadvisable to designate the
units confronting the Germans, but all
the men are bending to their task and
they are anxious to have the people
at home know that they are we'll sat
isfied and determined to perform to
their utmost the duties before them.
"Tell the home folks that we are
happy to be in the fighting. The work
is hard and trying, but that is WHY
we are here. Nothing could induce us
to leave it until the job is finished
and the Germans are beaten" This in
substance are the expressions of doz-
ems of American troops in the actual
fighting line.
AS to health Of the men, today's
record showed that there were only
three sick among the entire force, com
prlsing several thousands and these
are cases Of minor Importance. Every
care is taken to provide ample rations,
hot when possible, which, however, is
not always possible owing to the ex-
posed position. The men are fully
content with this and certainly appear
fit and well. They have taken to
trench and dugout life as if born to
it.

WHY SEND WHEAT TO EuRoPE7

No question is more frequently
asked the Federal Food Administra-
tor for Maine, and all the other states
in fact, than why we send wheat TO
Europe and ask our people at home
to use wheat -four substitutes.
The first answer is that we send
wheat to furnish foundation for the
mixed cereal bread that the Allies
have eaten for three years and a
half, and not to supply them with a
straight wheat bread. We are now
eating Victory bread, a bread that
calls for only 20 per cent wheat sub
stitutes. while Europe since the out
break of the war has eaten war
bread which contains from rs to Sc
per cent substitute. They are ask
ing US for wheat enough to make
this war bread.
Wheat -four is the only known
foundation for bakery loaf. Corn
meal and buckwheat can be used in
baking corn bread and batter cakes
but these breads cannot be looked on
as bakery products as they will not
stand "a hours handling between the
oven and the table. American women
who do their own baking can make
good use Of cornmeal, rice and oat.
