The daily stocks on hand reported by the quartermaster's depSrtment of the American expeditionary forces. gives an idea of supplies only when it is re- membered they represent reserves held between daily consumption and ar rivals known to be en route. Pota- toes furnish striking example. The stock in hand at the last report was S.20O.000 pounds and yet the American forces are receiving S0,000 tons of po- tatoes a month. which makes 10000, 900 pounds. chiefly from Ireland. Potatoes being perishable, it would not be wise to keep double the daily stock on hand. Others were as follows:
 Fresh beef. 16,600,000 pounds; timed beef. 23,700,000 pounds: timed bacon 26.3e0.000 pounds timed salmon. g. 44o,000 pounds: flour. 66,0O0,o0s pounds: oatmeal. 2,oc0 900 pound: corn meal 6.000.000 pounds; dry beans, 26.- 100000 pounds; baked beans 27.000.00o: rice.

HEAVY LOSSES TO
 SHIPPING ON LAKES

Detroit, January three deaths and loss to shipping of from $6. .000000 to $S.000,000 is the disaster toll of the 1918 shipping season on the great lakes, according to figures com piled here. The loss of life was unus- ually heavy, due to the drowning of IS men of the two French mine sweepers that disappeared in a gale on Lake Su- perior November 24. Loss to shipping was the lightest in many years.
 Four vessels were sunk in collision, five foundered in storms and the Congdon, one of the largest new ships on the lakes. went to pieces on Canoe rocks, near Passage island, Lake Su- perior, with it's cargo of grain, involv- ing loss of $1,500,0oo.
 The two French mine sweepers, Ce- grisolles and Inkerman, ocean bound from Fort William. Ont, became sep arated from their fleet and disappear ed like shadow craft, with an esti- mated loss of s2,o0o.o0
 In 1918 three vessels were raised, i,i- cluding the whaleback. Henry Cort. sunk by the steamer Midvale in Lake Erie in December, 1917.
 War restrictions on such commodi- ties as coal and the transfer of large vessels to ocean service made traffic lighter than Curing the previous four years. Traffic through the Sault Ste Marie Locks aggregated S5,6S0s27 tons, the lightest in four years. with combined registered tonnage of 61.- 100,24 the lowest since 1915. Total passages were 20,610, the lowest in four years.
 Copper shipments were light in 191S but iron ore shipments were unusual ly heavy.
 Marine men predict that new high tonnage record will be established next season, starting with the big grain movement down the lakes in the spring. They declare that greater quantity of grain is stored in the holds of ships on the lakes this winter than ever before in Great Lakes navigation history.
 $ The fourth United States govern mept lock at Sault Ste. Marie. the largest in the world, was practically completed this season

 Terms
sy A,,.oisted Pr.,.

Paris, December 15.-The French people want one of the German Big Berthas'' or supercannon which bombarded Paris to display in the Place de la Concorde as a souvenir Of German frightfulness that failed of it's purpose to destroy French morale. AN4 x 2 The armistice does not stipulate that one of these instruments shall sbe Sur rendered, but there is movement to urge the government to demand it. There is no expectation that the Germans will include one of these weapons among the 150o guns they are required to give up under the armistIce
 Facts obtained by military experts show that the first, guns that fired upon Paris on March B last, nU--bered three. They were installed near Mont-Jaie, in the forest of Saint Gobain. Two were on the same railroad spur leading out of Laon while the third was a little further east In the vicinity of Creepy.
 According to the latest informatio the guns were pointed at an angle of moro 65 degrees, a charge of 300 pounds of powder propeIling the projectile to a height of 10000 (nearly 19 miles on it's nurderous mission to Paris. With every shot 10 or 12 marine guns of Is or IT,

 In the manufacture of the shell resided an innovation of the Germans. It is said to have been made of special steel treated with tungsten so as to offer the maximum of resistance for minimum of weight The guns only protection was in camouflage and it proved to be no protection at all as allied aviators soon located them. There is report that sev- eral avfators, American, French, Brit itsh, lost their lives in locating the first Berthas in the forest of St. Gobain, but upon that point officials are silent n
 However on March 2 one of the Ber- thas was blown up by an aerial torpedo which tore a hole in the ground more than 50 feet in diameter, photograph of which has been taken. The second was put out of business in the last days of April while the thrid of the original three was silenced in May.
 It is now asserted that two of these guns were remodeled into a larger cali bre.j and that these remodeled guns were

HEAVY MARCHING { ORDER IN SIBERIA Practice March by Ameri- cans on VladivOstOk Front
 Has Picturesque
 Feature
By Associated Press

VladiVostok, December S.-The Ameri- can forces on the Vladivostok front turned out for practice march into the hills today, In the early crisp air of the morning the troops assembled from va rious camps, some of which lie three to four miles away in the valleys beyond the Golden Horn bay. They came in heavy marching order-heavy is the word in buffalo hide sheep shin lined great coats and fur caps, and with close to 60 pounds on their backs. They brought noon meal, besides all the other equip ment of mobile army.
 The start was from the army base at the foot of the bay. With a background of dun hills splashed with, snow and dotted here and there with wooden shacks- with roads winding away into the distance filled with the assembling soldiers, .one could easily imagine the scene of one of Washington's Pennsyl- vania campaigns. The big. sleek mules in their brand new harness looked eff cient. The big horses with the big men riding them looked business like. The horses and mules, like the men, were stout and hearty.
 The native population gathered and looked their admiration. Workmen knocked off work to watch them go by. Even some of the officers who with Gen. eral Wraves. reviewed the column from the roadside evinced more than usual interest in the new pattern guns and field equipment.
 There were some little guns trundled by all wrapped up in canvas covers There were men carrying queer looking things like modified "blunderbusses. - Somebody said they could Hay down an effective barrage at 800 yards" And there were a lot of the guns.
 From an angle in the road the review CTS watched the brown line climb steep grade and disappear around the shoulders of rocky hill. The idea appears to have been to demonstrate the fitness of the force to march if called upon. And the verdict was: Fit for anything-even up to the Volga-

 Subsequently the Germans succeeded in utilizing larger calibre guns for long distance firing for. in August, they used marine gun from near Soissons firing a 121a-inch shell. They were preparing to subject Paris to an intensive bonn bardment such as Dunkirk had to suf- fer when they were driven out of their Soissons-Chateau Thierry line by the counter offensive of the allies
 Commandant Birbel, the military ex- pert, who organized the Turkish artillery before the Germans assumed charge of the military affairs of that country. told the Associated Press that the whole secret of the German long distance gun lay in the invention of "a special high Eexplosives powder (which could only be used in guns constructed with a special steel of extraordinary resisting power. Ths Germans had cominenced the gen eralization Of the process and they were manufacturing several guns similar to their Soissons one but Marshal Foch's offensive deranged their plans.

DOMINION HOME
RULE FOR IRE
LAND, PROMISE
{ BY The Associated Press

Dublin, Aug. 25.-Appearance in var
ious London papers of the announce
ment that Premier Lloyd George Is
considering an offer of Ireland of do
minion home rule with county option
has created much discussion in politi-
cal circles in Dublin.
Sir Horace Plunketts new Dominion
League. while willing to arrange spe-
cial terms for Ulster within an Irish
dominion, is very strongly opposed to
any arrangement by which any part of
Ireland would be altogether outside
the new Irish parliament, and Sir HOr-
ace believes any such plan would be
unavoidable.
Ulster Unionists on the other hand
are violently opposed to county option
or indeed to any option. The furthest
they have gone is to agree to the total
exclusion from an Irish parliament OF
the six northeastern counties without
the preliminary of plebiscite.
Many Sim Feiners declare if county
option were extended to all Ireland,
plebiScite taken OH home rule, many
of the counties would adhere to the
demand for republic OF nothing and
vote against it.

BIG DEFICIT OF
FOOD IN GERMANY

Berlin, Aug. 25.-The German de-
felt in food. the difference between
the amount produced in Germany and
Germany's normal needs, amounts to
3,6OO,OOO tons of wheat, one million
tons of meat and one million tons of
fats, says the imperial food ministry.
Immediate payment for these nee.
essary fOodstuffs with inland resources
is unthinkable, the ministry asserts
Only long term credits can help and
the acceptance of such credits is only
possible If Germany works for only
then can the creditors have confidence
in paying ability of Germany.
Immediate decisive effect of the re-
moval of the blockade Oh the German
food market is not expected by the
ministry but rather long slow con-
tinuation of Improvement which al-
ready makes itself felt. 1t declares
that control of exports must remain
until the average between imports and
exports. has been established.
Germany must make, up its mind to
do without coffee very largely in the
future, says tile imperial commissioner
for colonial goods.
Authorities say Germany must
sharply restrict her imports of chOco-
late because of the low value OF the
mark and must try to rely on her own
chocolate, the first production Of
which is expected soon.
