Mr.. Plumb pounded the table and

JOHN I. KING C0NFERS WITH
 HIS HENCHMEN
Holds Session At Taft and Plans Independent
 Organization.

New Haven, July 23 - It became known yesterday that John T. King, the Connecticut member of the Re publican national committed, came to New Haven last week and called in number of prominent New Ha ven Republicans for a conference. The King men held their meeting a the Hotel Taft and the importance of the conference may be measured from the fact that King and his lieutenants were together at the Taft for three hours. None of those at the meeting would say what the con ference with King was about but it leaked out that King came here for the purpose of getting together an organization that will cooperate with him in behalf of the interests of Gen. Leonard Wood The political situation in the state was discussed generally by those who met at the Taft at the invitation of Mir. King and the nucleus of organfza tion that will help out the King Wood movement in Connecticut was organ ized. The men who met with King will assume the duties of getting to- gether a larger organization of work CTS in the state.
 King was asked by one of those
 
 thought about Chairman Hays com ing to Connecticut in September to the big Republican pow wow that Is to be held at Lake COmpounce. MT. King replied that he felt confident that MT. Hays presence at the gath ering that the upstate machine is getting up, would do neither the Wood boom or himself any harm. MT. King , expresses the greatest confidence for the success of Gen. Leonard Wood for the nomination for the presidency. He is counting much on the soldiers influence.
 1 The news that King came to New Haven and had conference with several of prominent Republicans who have been workers for the party in past wears had had the effect of a bombshell explosion among leaders in the Republican organiza tfon. : Republican affairs in New Haven are badly mix xed," declared a Repub- lican worker today. There is appar- ent need of repairs to machine and a reorganization if the party is going 1 to be successful"
 | Criticism is made that something has not been done to conciliate King instead of allowing him to go along with independent movement and possibly cause big split in the party i Kings power is growing rather than diminishing and is evident that the upstate machine has reached the point where 1t finds 1t necessary to sit up and take notice.

WILL NOT BUY
 FOOD AT COST PRICE

So far as the Chamber of Com merce is concerned, nothing will be done to secure the purchase of a quantity of foodstuffs offered for sale by the government at 20 per cent. less than the original cost. The let ter of Mayor Wilson, received by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, suggesting such action, was referred to members of the executive com mittee who decided that the number of retailers in the city interested would make it unwise for the Cham Der of Commerce to handle the mat ter. Mayor Wilson will be so noti- fled by Executive Secretary Seward B. Price.

Belgium for preserving the lives OF

Germany, on the other hand, need
moi figure in such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true OF
Spain and the northern ..eutral coun.

A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the flu
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only q small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until neNt harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
we'll as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie Of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included III this
plan, are urgent in the extreme ant

Meat Increase
AT THE NEEDE-
Producers Responded Nob|y
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified In Pork Policy
Which Nov Provides Chief Srp-
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan Of con.
servation formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program is Of particular signifi
canoe, as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food AID
ministration by the meat producers OF
the country.
According to reports of the U. 5.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle of ~1O,23S,O00 head
and 12,44l 900 hogs, these figures com
piled to January l last. In the same
period there was a decrease of $4,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ting the latest reports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an Increase in
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for Increase In hog
production for the fall of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the Increase nay yield
not less than 1,600, O0O, 1000 pounds
more of pork products thar We're
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog. products during the
three months ending September 30.
1917, amounted to 903, $4,000 pounds,
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1877, $4,000 pounds,
an increase of over 3%74,0OO,OO0 pounds
{ for the quarter.
During the same period In 1917 IN
Spected slaughter records OF dressed
beef showed 1,263,O00,0 900 pounds as
AGAINST l,454, 100000 pounds for the
i three month period ending September
l, this year.
We must increase u meat ship
ments, especially u pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
Which guided our meat program in the
p}st year has been fully justified, for
: 9sti.S lle~heayy pork production which
Ma lraa%ht about will enable us

gions, with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia. Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula.
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes Its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. AL
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur.
key are In the throes OF serious strln-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton Of food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means Mt
the very least a minimum Of 20,000,O00
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-.
war exports and 11.820,0O0 o n ex-
! ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de.
bacle and our fight for world pence
will have been in vuin.

tranquility to re-establish themselves
in freedom and democracy.
Without our help 1t would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain q living ration. Since our
entry into the wal we have been con
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut off, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration Of twenty-five million people.
1t is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance Of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies b. the
patriotic, voluntary service OF the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been SUI.
ficient to feed One-fifth Of our popula-
ton. And this was done in spite OF
the fact that we entered the year With
short crops. Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro-
portion of the food that left this co,ln-
try last year was saved out of the nor
nal home consumption Of our. own
people.
In spite Of difficulties met in inter-
nal transportation and shortage Of
ocean tonnage our food exports last,
year amounted to a figure that a few
years ago would have been unbelieya-
bic. Even the most optimistic element
Of u population faced with anxious
