Fritzsche asserted, in an article headed “Hebroic Friends of the French,” that the Jews of that city hung out French flags when the French marched in, that the daugh- ters. of prominent Jewish families had danced in the streets with French officers, and that the cham- pagne had flowed in streams.

His latest outburst is against the Bishop of Hereford because of the appolnt- ment of the Rev. B. HY Streeter, | the author of several religious | books showing the influence of mod- ern religious thought, to the canon- ry of Hereford Cathedral. His pro- test is in these words: “Therefore do we, Frank, Lord Bishop of Zanzibar, hereby declare and pronounce that so long as the ! ground of our complaint rrmnlnn.E there can be, and from this day for-: ward there is, no communijon in sa- cred things between ourselves and the Right Reverend John, Lord Bishop of Hereford, nor between ourselves and with any priest with- in his jurisdiction who shall make known his approval of the false doc- trines now officially authorized within the Diocese of Hereford." In meeting this protest, the Bish- op of Hereford says in an open let- ter published in the Times and ad- dressed to his accuser: “For one bishop to take upon himself to excommunicate another bishop on his sole authority because of an alleged misuse of the patron- age in his diocese is a proceeding which it is not easy to justify, and which certainly does not tend to edi- fication. Hasty and ill considered individual action, such as yours, could hardly be defended under any circumstances, and in this case you would have done well to bear in mind that Canon Streeter has not even been arraigned, much less con- demned, before any eccleslastical {court or synod, and that he contin- ?uel to hold a license to officiate from {my brother bishop, the Bishop of 1Oxford.

There was a small decrease {n the number of hogs, the total falling by 319,600 to 25,339, 627 head. The decrease was wholly in pigs less than six months old, the number of which was reduced by 611,000 head during the year. Even sheep showed a smaller reduction than usual. Last December there were 5,448,500 head, which com- pared with 20,800 at the end of 1913, and 5,803,400 at the end of 1912.

The remedy, he sald, was to mod- ity the system of farming so as to Pproduce more livestock and relative- 1y less hay, grain and cotton for the market, and to finish and standard- ize thv products on the farm, in- stead of leaving the grading and re- fining of products to an army of people in the cities. —— Billions of Dollars Worth Produce Wasted (By Atsociated Press.) Muskogee, Okla., April 27— Speaking in the interest of the Nat- ional Marketing Committee organ- ized at Washington last autumn to seek legislation to create a Natlonal Council of Agriculture, Representa- tive William 8. Goodwin, of Arkan- sas, told the Southern Commercial Congress here today that billions of dollars worth of American farm pro- ducts annually go to waste. “So long as one bushel of potatoes Is unmark- eted or a hungry man is unfed” he: sald, “we have an Iimperfect distri- bution system.” Representative Goodwin said that the ultimate consumer pays one dol- lar for the same agricuttural pro- ducts for which the grower recetves but 35 cents, the 65 cents belng consumed by clumsy, Inadequate distributive methods allowing waste and decay. He predicted that if a market could be found for all agri- cultural products,’ railroad dividends would be the order of the day, in- creased employment on railroads and farms would follow and Iimmense increases would be rolled up in the national wealth. He urged a mark- eting system modeled dfter the Ger- man or Danish plans, with national, state, county and townships co- operating to bring producers and consumers nearer. Colonization Retarded Because of Being Too High (By Associated Press) Muskogee, Okla., April 27—J. B.
