Italy to Solve the Food Question

March. Thanks to different climatic
conditions the harvesting season in the
south of Italy and In the islands is
month In advance on that of the North.
Consequently the authorities expect to
move the different agricultural units
from place to place till every crop has
been taken in and then repeat the OPP
GRAFTON next year for the blowing and
sowing season.
The general staff has promised its
heartiest cooperation provided the
military situation at the front i'm
proves or, at least, remains stationary.
In this case two or three hundred thou
sand men will be temporarily released
from the army and sent to work in the
farming districts. The men and the
women will be paid the prevailing rate
of wages.
Expect No Hitch.
The authorities are confident the
plan will work without hitch, and
If the results are as predicted, and If
the prize and premium system fails,
1t is not improbable that compulsory
farming will be among the after war

expects to solve some of the most dis
tressing problems connected with the
resupplying and revictualing of the
country.
In connection with the present food
situation Premier Orlando announced
in the chamber of deputies that 1t
could not be improved even If HOSTILE
ties ceased tomorrow, that the high
cost of living and the scarcity of all
the necessaries of life would continue
for long time after the conclusion of
peace, and that the solution of the
problem of supplies is that, today, the
country must resupply itself or be con-
tented with the little that can be i'm
ported from abroad.
At the same time the premier said
that before long the people will be
called upon to make additional sacri-
fees, and that in order to increase the
ration of the men In the trenches new
food restrictions would be imposed on
the country ut large.

Revival in Shipping Brings Pros
perity to American Sea-
board Towns.
ONCE BUSY MARTS OF TRADE
Same Spirit That Made Old Salem
Rich Now Seen In Merchant Ma
rines's DeveIopment-New
Ports Sprinsing UP.

Neutrality-suspicious. effect of the pres
ent rapid expansion of the American
merchant marine is n sudden and I'M
precedented revival of business ut GER
tain American ports which a few years
ago were thought to have passed their
zenith.
Bath. Me-, is cited as an example.
In the prosperous nineteenth century
days of sailing ships Bath was the
country's leading shipbuildlng port. 1t
declined steadily after the introduce
ton of steel as n building material.
Now Bath, building both steel and
wood vessels, is so prosperous that the
housing of the workmen taking jobs
there is pressing problem. The same
is true of several other North Atlantic
ports, while in other sections ports
are springing up where none existed
before.
Close observers of the present re-
vival In shipping say that before the
United States shipping boards present
construction plan is completed-a plan
by which vast new merchant fleet Is
to be brought into being-the develop
ment of American ports will parallel
on a larger scale that which took
place In the good old days of the
square rggers."
In earlier times, as at present, every
body in n port touched by the pros
perity of seagoing was keenly inter
ested in shipping. Present-day secre-
cy about contracts. sailings and divi-
dends, had its prototype in the secrecy
that enveloped such matters more than
n hundred years ago, in score of
American ports, notably In Salem,
Mass.
In those days, we are told, rival
merchants sometimes drove the work
of preparation for voyages night and
day. Ships which set out for foreign
ports were watched when they slipped
their cables and sailed away by night"
Personal Touch in Voyages.
In those times there was more per-
sonal touch In voyageI than now, as
every man making n voyage was al
lowed a certain space In the hold for
goods of his own. People in the home
port of n ship outward bound intrust-
ed their savings to their seafaring
neighbors for ventures in far coun-
tries.
This spirit of commercial adventure
is finding expression today on larger
and less personal scale, say the experts
of the shipping board; and these stu
dents of conditions trace the present

Salem ships were pioneers in open
ing new routes of commerce. Salem
merchants were the first to bring pep
per from Sumatra, rubber from South
America and coffee from Mocha. The
Salem ship Recovery, Capt. John
Ropes, was the coffee pioneer, and be-
tween the landing of her first cargo of
the fragrant berry In 179S and 1905,
Salem imported not less than 12,000,-
600. pounds of Mocha coffee.
Salem men were perhaps no more
active than other American deep-water
sailors of the period but their records
were better kept.
Examining the causes of Salem's
great fame won upon the sea, a recent
historian of the merchant marine found
that 1t was mot in her harbor nor in
her store of shlpbullding timber. .
It was Salem men. :. Americans
of the Americans who built up the ro-
mantle commerce that left no sea I'M
visited, no land UNEMPLOYED.
Their business required iron will and
iron nerve, a noble Imagination, belief
in themselves and in their fellow man."
The case of old Salem, and of the
newer ports now flourishing under the
impetus of the country's present COM
mercial expansion. convinces the mari
time specialists that the quality which
won in both cases is a constant one,
being nothing less than American en-
terprise.
