Survey Of Food Animals.


Our survey of the food animals
shows that compared to pre-war con-
ditions there is a net decrease of 49,
100000 cattle in the 9s.3O0.000 in the
29,50o,000 swine from 69,3o0.00o and a
from the pre-war total of 109.S00.o00.
The number Of horses also has great
ly diminished.
while theoretically the cattle of
Europe could be restored in two
years and the swine in one year, If no
animals were killed, such course
would entail no local meat supplies
and the natural course will be a slow
recovery over many years.
"As to the feed crops in Europe for
animals, it is too early to forecast
crop prospects. To all appearances
about Is per cent OF the usual yield
will result.
More than IS per cent of Europe's
import food bill is covered by bread.

Coming Harvest Will
Supply Worlds Needs,
Says Herbert Hoover

PARIS. June 3.-There is a SUM-
Gent surplus Of food indicated from
the coming harvests to supply Europe
and meet the needs of the world un-
less some unexpected catastrophe
happens to the worlds harvests, ac-
cording to statement issued today
by Herbert c. Hoover. the head of
the allied relief organization.
Tho bread budget balances, but the
surplus OF tho American crop of wheat
and rye this year will be needed.
The statement says that most Of the
trading in wheat and rye will be in
the hands of the government.
. Other figures gained from the sur
vey made by the organization and
various governments indicate that the
sugar crop in eastern Europe this
year will be IS per cent Of pre-war
normal. the wheat and rye crop II
per cent and the vegetable harvest
about normal. Since the war, it is
estimated. Europe has lost 1s.400,O0e
cattle. 100000 hogs and S,600.O00

HARRY LAUDER SINGS
HIS WAY INTO HEARTS
OF PEOPLE OF PHOENIX

II was a Draw, BRIGHT NIGHT, last

I'm speakin o. the Elks theayter ana

and clapped and laughed until the

who got himself right in with everyone
and made them feel that he had al

II you was ma there last NIGHT ye

were not as thrifty as some O. the

cost them quite bit o. siller to be
there. But ask anyone If it was worth

To anyone who saw him yesterday
and had not been able to understand
why Harry Lauder was such a draw
ing car as an entertainer, it is now
clear. He is an artist. In every char
acter he seems to excel the previous
one. Starting with II Love a I.assy,"
which has been sung and whistled
around the world. Harry Lauder yes
terday and last night at the Elks thea
ter gave the people one of the treats
of their lives. AS he told them, it may
lie long time before he comes here
again. but they will not forget his
visit yesterday. nor his songs, nor his
smile, nor the Scotch accent that rolls
off his tongue like a mouthful of por-
rige.

about the 100000 young men Scotland

be privileged to share in the glad vel
come which the people of New England
have been planning for the famous fight
ing division, the first National Guard or
ganization to go across the seas and one
of the first, if not the first National
Guard unit to go over the top in drive
against the Germans The satisfaction
which New England people feel in the
gallant conduct of that division will be
given vent to in an appropriate manner
not only in Boston but in every eommu-
nifty which contributed any considerable
number Of men to the division. 1t is fit
ting, therefore, that as many as possible
of the original members of the division
should be privileged to return to feel the
welcome. For those who are lying in
graves in France and others who are still
too weak to return on this trip, New
England feels the same debt of graft
tude; the demonstration, though show
cred upon the returning veterans, will be
intended for the entire division as it was
constituted on first landing on foreign
shores.

THE HUSH" METHOD OF. CHASING
CRIMINALS.

CRIMINALS.
The notion that suppression of the
facts of a robbery will cause the robber
TO come out in the open and lay himself
liable to arrest by some slight slip of
conduct was thoroughly exploded again
in the case of costly robbery at the
house OF the Proctor family in the town
Of Proctor more than two weeks ago
The house was ransacked during the alb
sence of the family in other parts of the
country. the burglar or burglars carrying
off all the articles they could transport
without engaging an express truck The
break was reported in due season TO the
police but the hush up policy was re-
sorted to with the usual result that the
thief had two weeks in which to get
away or to dispose of his property in the
manner best suited to his purposes. He
didn't come out in the open with the evi.
dences of his crime sticking out on him,
but he was keen enough, as most pro
fessional thieves are, to cover up his
tracks, so to speak; and the agency of
publicity was finally resorted to in de.
spairing effort to run down the criminal
or criminals. But publicity was sorely
handicapped by reason of the two weeks
delay, and there is far less chance that
the thing will be ferreted out
Then, there is another side to the mat
ter, When robbers arc getting in their
work in a community no larger than the
usual Vermont cities and towns it is a
duty to the public to let the public know
that a robber or a robber gang is at work
so that more than ordinary precautions
can be taken to prevent the further sue
cessful operations Of the thieves. Warn
ing ought to be given in order that all
the agencies operating against crime and
the criminals can be brought to bear;
and such warning can only be given
through the newspapers. This is not
written as an incentive to encourage the
giving of news to the newspapers but as
a definition of public duty on the part of
the authorities, and we trust that it will
be taken in the spirit intended,

Estimates of the Clement admins
tration at this time whether friendly
or unfriendly have little foundation upon
which to build. The governor has been
in Office about a month. His appoint
ments reflected little desire to 60 much
outside the beaten path, but there is
plenty of time in which to evolve a sane
business like administration.
II would seem that in the two years
Of Governor Clements administration a
real attempt will be made to better the
highways of the state and that alone
will be a noteworthy event.
No doubt there will be other achieve
ments well worth while. The governor
is fortunate, at least, in holding office at
a time when the state is awakening to
the need of definite action in several
highly important matters SO that in the
end his administration is bound to be
forward looking, if he no more than
drifts with the tide.
Judgment passed on the administra
ton before it is even working well can
be very substantial to say the least

Evidently the Germans had the pre-
vailing high cost of living in mind, along
with other things, when they fixed the
salary of the president of the new repub-
lie at a figure more than three times
greater than the amount paid annually
to the president of the United States
Ten years ago Congress fixed the salary
of the chief executive of the United
States at $4,000 per year, and there the
financial reward Of the service has re.
manned unto the present day, although
conditions have changed quite materially
since that stipend was fixed. Now comes
the German national assembly and fixes
the salary Of the president of that coun-
try at million marks, which would be
about $250000 in the money of the Unit
cd States. In naming that princely sal
airy, the assembly may have had in mind
also the tremendous emoIuments which
the kaiser of the old empire exaeted each
year; and, too, there is a chance that the
Germans we're determined to beat the
Unitd States, Just to show how much
they have advanced in form of democ-
racy over the somewhat slower republic
in North America. But Germany is a
rich country, or would be were it not for
the prospects of having to meet a very
large indemnity on top of its own war
debt; and undoubtedly it will be able to
see its way clear toward rewarding Presi-
dent Ebert and his successors with quar-
ter of a million dollars each year,

that he needs to attend to his financial
