Washington. - American dressed
meat production, including lard.
amounted in 1918 to 2O,129, 100000
pounds-a quantity never before ap-
preached IN magnitude by the live
STOCK industry of this or any other
country. The corresponding figure for
1917 was 16,317 100000 pounds.
Three-fOurths of the enormous in
crease was in pork and one-fourth was
in beef
The meat surplus in 1918 was SO
great that extra export demands made
ilttle impression on it, although 1918 ex-
port shipments of meat and lard nearly
doubled the 1917 figure-rising from
slightly less than 1,75O,OOO,OOO pounds
TO slightly more than 3,OOOOOO,OOO
pounds-and these figures do not in

forces abroad.
Ihe aggregate 1917 consumption of

states was approximately 14,5OO,OOO,-

The examining officers at the pris- oner pens talk German like natives, but often the prisoners don't and that leads to complications.
 One inquisitor, who had just used his best German vocabulary on an uncom- pretending Hungarian, turned him over to a special questioner and took on five strangely-clad and somewhat bewildered prisoners who, after a great deal of shouting and arm waving, man. aged to convey the fact that they were neither Germans nor Austrians nor Hungarians nor Slovaks. They were Ital'1ns-fve Italians taken prisoner last fall and set to mending roads be- hind the German lines.
