LISBON. May 19.-An American
and an Axis national involved in the
current diplomatic exchange crossed
paths yesterday and the American,
eyeing his opposite, asked icily:
WAS I exchanged for that funny
looking guy?"
Words in similar vein came from
other Americans having the unusual
experience Of seeing the Axis per-
sonages for whom they were
swapped. There were some frigid
pleasantries.
One German gravely assured this
writer that the United States is go

There was but one answer to that
one: In Germany q tattered citizen

Jail or return to the Fatherland!"
Most Germans admit they were

Pie-KiIIine Policy Of
World War Doys Is

BY ERNEST G. FISCHER.
4 xsocia tad pregE War Corra6pondent

LISBON. May 19.-Although the
normal consumer gets less than IL
ounces Of meat to eat each week in
Germany, the government has been
engaged for some time in an emer-
gency program of slaughtering
cattle and hogs.
Sucking calves are being killed to
save milk and medium weight hogs
butchered to conserve potatoes and
other feeds.
The butchering Of calves is de-
scribed as a temporary measure to
save milk for making much-needed
butter, yet housewives, who get very
little butter and milk. complain that
the immature animals provide
"unsubstantial" meat.
Last fall the government offered a
premium of 20 marks Qater II
markO for each porker taken to
market, but the bonus failed to bring
fulfillment of pork demands.
Basic Price Increased.
This spring It increased the basic
price Of hogs weighing from 1913 to
$50 pounds.
In other words, it is paying farm
ers to dispose Of their hogs before
they are fattened in order to save
feed for forthcoming pigs.
The result Is the slaughter Of
animals which. with a few more
months Of fattening, would furnish
fats as we'll as pork Hogs are
counted on to furnish two-thirds Of
Germanys meat and one-fourth Of
her edible fats.
Answering the argument that the
slaughter policy was endangering
the future pork supply. one agricul-
tural ofncial declared a higher price
for hogs would jeopardize the ma
tion's bread and potatoes because
the farmers would be tempted to
feed them grains and potatoes.
Conserve Feeds for Pigs.
He explained Germany was avoid
ing the pig-killing policy OF 1915 by
conserving feeds now for future
pigs.
About 10000 pigs were slaugh-
tered in a few months in 1915,
leaving Germany fewer than 15,OO0,-
900 pigs. in order to save potatoes
for humans. Then bumper potato
crop came along and millions Of
tons Of potatoes rotted.
A committee headed by Walther
Dare. NaN minister Of agriculture.
said the 1915 pig slaughter was one
factor in Germany's defeat in the
last war and declared it would not
be repeated under Naziism.

Martinique
Continued From First Page.)

Fort de France sailors from the war
were watching, standing by their
gun positions.
Plane Follows Set Course.
But the only sign of movement
in the harbor was the leisureIy pad
ding OF the fishermen and the nerv-
Gus darting of a government motor
boat. Overhead, huge United
States ply patrol plane moved in
for a harbor landing, following an
exact course and time schedule laid
down by the French commanding
officer, Admiral Georges Robert.
This Navy flying boat carried
mail for the United States consul
at Fort de France, Marcel Etienne
Mallge, and the United States Navy
observer. Capt. Jesse B. Gay. The
plane landed in a burst of white
water, TAXED about in the shadow
OF old Fort Louis and took of in a
few minutes after the consul had
come out in a launch manned by
French sailors. Navy planes make
a patrol past Martinique several
times daily and land in the harbor
for mail at stated intervals salts
factory to Admiral Robert.
1t is reliably reported that the
Bearn's planes are now at a stage
beyond all practical service. For
many months these were openly
exposed to the sun. Now, it is said,
they are under cover-but too late.
The latitude of a large section
OF the 246,000 residents of Marti-
nique is reported at st. Lucia to be
domlnantly pro- American. The
French Negroes, who constitute a
vast percentage of the population,
have many times expressed their
pro-American feelings.
The supreme authority on the
island now is Admiral Robert, a
hardy veteran of the French Navy,
to whom an order from a higher Of
f1cer is something to be obeyed
faithfully. 1t is he with whom Rear
Admiral John H. Hoover, United
States commandant at the 10th Ma
val District in Puerto Rico. has
been holding conferences about the
demands on Martinique made by the
United States.
Admiral Robert today has under
his command in the Caribbean not
only the Bearn and Emile Bertin.
but also the auxiliary cruisers Bar
f1eur and Due do Male and the
cruiser Jeanne D'Arc which Is at
Guadeloupe.
1t is estimated that Fort de France
has some 10000 tons of navy and
merchant shipping in the harbor
which is one of the largest and finest
anywhere. From what I saw of
Cape Solomon, looking islandward
from the Caribbean. would say
that all that was there. if not more.
The ships strain at tl.eir anchors
or backsprings, waiting a decision
as to their destiny. They wait and
add more barnacles to their hulls
daily.
And daily the crews grow a little
more impatient with the enforced
idleness. The story of escapes is
not the least Of these waiting to be
told about Martinique.
