ultimate situation.~ says the bureau OF
animal industry, United States depart
ment OF agriculture. tThe producer.
Of course, was expected to do his part
but be did 1t with such powerful effect
that In Q single year the meat shortage
was turned int0A pronounced surplus.
Thus In 1918 there was not only meat
enough to supply all foreign demands
Compatible with the restricted shipping
facilities, but q greatly enlarged guam
uty was available for the home con-
sumption.
ITO be sure, II cost the farmer more,
much more to feed his animals and
get them to market. Likewise, all other
steps from producer to consumer, be-
came more costly, hence the high
prices. But the unprecedented prosper
lily Of the people, as q whole, enabled
them to afford the increased cost. In
fact, laboring people probably con-
sumed more meat during the last year
than In prewar times.
The total number of cattle slaugh-
tered In 1918 Is estimated at Is. 1901 400,
as against 18,723,900 In 1917. Their
average weights were practically the
same for both years. and the beef pro-
duced from them was 6,8S6, 10000
pounds in 1917 and 7.841. 5000 OO

pounds In 1Q1S. This was a remarkable
achievement. as It hardly would have
been credited that beef growers could
increase their production a million
pounds in one year.
Results Called ~stupendous.
sThe hog natures quickly, therefore
q much more rapid increase would be
looked for than was the case with cat
tie. Even 50, the results for 1918 can
be described only as s~tupendous. The
hogs marketed in 1918 numbered co.
s54.700, as against 57,4S3,s0O in 1917.
Furthermore, the average weight was
nine and a half pounds more per hog
in 1913. Thus when the animals are
turned into pork and lard we have a
total production Of 11,225,664,000
pounds In 1918, as against s,47s,2S9,-
600 pounds In 1917. an increase Of 2.
747,355.000 pounds, or 32.4 per cent,
nearly o%ne-third."
Striking Increases in exports also are
shown by the bureau. Beef shipments
abroad in 1918 were % per cent more
than in 1917-the chief 1918 items be-
ing 514,000,000 pounds Of fresh beef
and 100000 pounds Of canned beef.
Exports Of pork and lard In 1913

1917 was 168i1eQ0oW pounds,
T~hreefourths of the enormous In
crease was In pork and one1ourth vas
In beef.
The meat surplus La 1913 was 30
great that extra export demands made
little impression on IT. although 1918 et-
port shipments OF meat and lard nearly
doubled the 1917 fgure-rising from
slightly less than 1,75o.0oo.o0o pounds
to slightly more than 8yQ00.000.0o0

United Press staff Correspondent,
PARIS. April io.-Altho agree

and responsibility for the war. the
peace conference Is not yet out Of
the woods regarding the secret trea-
ties entered into by the allies before
American intervention. 1t was learn

British insistence that the confer

tails TO be settled" means in one
sense that a showdown on the Lon
don secret treaty is yet to come.
Also the suggestion from high
quarters that the peace delegates
again look over the Ia points," it
was regarded as reminder that
President Wilson is standing just as
firmly on the II principles and the
armistice terms as at the start OF
the conference. These recognized no
