committee, to $75,0OO,OOo was made in
the full committee, but was defeated.

preparations of $85, OOO, 900 for the sub
sistence of the army compared with
s67, 100000 provided by the house.
Provisions were made for 1882 900

House appropriations for bringing
home bodies of American dead in
France were eliminated.
An amendment providing for the
retention of the present organization
of the war department pending de-
termination of a definite military pol
icy was added, as was an amendment
authorizing army representation at
the international aircraft standards
commission meeting at Paris this
month.
The house provision prohibiting the
war department from purchasing real
estate was modified so as to enable
it to adjust existing. contracts for land
and acquire land previously leased on
which buildings for war purposes
have been constructed. This provi-
sion affects about 1000 contracts in
v%olving millions of dollars.

DECLINE IN SHEEP SINCE 1914.
Before the war the United States
had approximately one-tenth of all the
sheep in the world. Since then the
total number of sheep has decreased
from all causes about one-tenth, pos
sibly lore. That makes the world
decline in excess Of so millions of
sheep, or slightly greater than the
number of sheep in the United States.
In some countries there has been an
increase since 1914, but from the re-
ports Of the international institute of
agriculture and also of the food adj
ministration the countries which re-
port increases are o~utnumbered by
those whose sheep raising declined
The Canadian food board places the

alone in excess of 81 millions. THAI
is considerably higher than other es'
Inmates, but it is fairly safe to con
clude that at the time the armistic,
was signed there were fewer shee]
in the world by many millions thar
when Belgium was invaded.
