Such an appeal is based or# reason. We can do without the cld, those who have served their purpose in life, the young we must save, *'This committee,” voices the letter, ‘“‘makes an earnest appeal to you to do everything in your power to pre- vent the destruction of calves, young pigs and young stock generally in this state. We find that the destruction in this direction is unusually large this spring. It is estimated that there are 75,000 less yearling cattle in the state than a year ago. “The destruction of the animal life will have a very and far reaching effect on our food supply in the next two or three years. There is no law in this state to deal with the situation. We are powerless, thereforve, to do anything in the mat- ter., But the question is such an im- portant one that we feel impelled to make this appeal to you in the hope that many of you will feel it to be vour patriotic duty to correct the present situation power.” ‘What is true of New York is true of Connecticut. What is true of Connec- ticut is true of all the New England States. Our stockmen are not giving the cattle a chance to grow and mature. They are, for the most part, killing the calves off as fast the market demands. And in this respect, the supply is getting no chance to re- plenish itself. As a farmer would not think of taking up his potatoes before they are ripe, so a grower of cattle should not kill off his yearlings before they have been given a chance to grow to decent proportions. In the long run, under such a system o? conservation, everyone is made the gainer, not cmitting the cattlemen. The Cononecticut Committee on Food Control, of which our townsman, ths Hon. George M. Landers, is such an active and earnest worker, can well afferd to send such an-appeal to the cattle grcwers-cr this state as those saime folk recelved in New York. We cannot afford to kill off our young cattle any more than we can afford to pull up the garden products before they are ripe. The motto in this case is, “Save the Young.” young serlous so far as it lies in your as 1 BREAD IS BREAD. Bread is the staff of life. This is a slogan so old that even the first born white child cannot remember its origin. Bread belng made, for the - art, from wheat, I!ymw giving thifcountry another soumfe of worry. As there is predicted a shortage of the wheat crop it necessarily follows that there is some danger of the bread supply not being big enough to go around. So the authorities at Wash- ington are beginning to worry. The women connected with the national organization engaged in the conser- vation of food has sent forth the word that bread must be conserved, which s another plea for the wheat grop. The women at \Vashingtfi‘nr have figured it out that if the women in the various cities and towms in the United States aid their grocers in the matter of conserving the bread supply there will not be so much danger of a bread famine. It seems that the housewives have been buying their bread on a happy-go-lucky plan, a system that has resulted in dire waste of bread, For instance: A mother of a family decides in the morning "that she nceds five loaves of bread te serve at the meals of that day. She orders these five loaves knowing that should there be a shortage she can send to the grocer and get more. In the evening perhaps there are visitors and five more loaves are needed for that one family. It makes no differ- ence,’ this amount of bread wurbe‘ forthcoming. For the grocer under- stands the overdemand that might be placed upon his wares and has taken the necessary precaution. He has made arrangement with the baker for an over-supply. The baker in the heat of competition with other bakers, must give the srocer all the loaves he thinks might be used, and then a sur- plus. If at the end of the day the grocer has any loaves of bread left over the baker must take them back without charge. They were put there for a purpose. These loaves, in a day, are not considered fresh bread and so they must be counted as lost. They are sold to the very poor families®or they are sold to the farmers to be served as food for pigs or chickens. So goes the waste of wheat. In order to satisfy the American houseswives in their artificial plan of purchasing the corner grocer and the wholesale baker enter into the conspiracy of wasting wheat. This is the thing that must be overcome if the nation is to conserve its wheat supply. In the city of Washington, the capi- tal of the nation, a stringent plan is already in operation. The bakers of the city have decided that they will ellminate the waste of wheat caused by the housewives not buying on a systematic plan. To this end they have told the grocers that there will be no loaves of bread returnable in the future; that the grocers must buy just so many loaves of bread as they think will be needed and no maore. The grocers in turn have notified the housewives that if there is a shortage of bread on the tables of Washington homes it will not be the fault of the retailers; So the housewlives are put on their mettle. Itis up to them now ta sit down and figure out just how meny loaves they will need each day, leaving an allowance for an occasion- al visitor or two, and ordering just enough to go around. If the same scheme were put into effect In other cities, New Britain among them, more than four per cent. of the waste wheat would be saved. Think it over. And bread is the staff of life. It will be needed within the coming vyear more than any other foodstuff. Armies today are as much dependent upon wheat as they are upon am- munition. Bread is bread. | FACTS AND FANCIES.

Grocers Have No Chance to Run “Co- op” Out of Business. To the Editor of the Herald: That the dealers here are sore against those who are installing gro- cery stores on their plants for the benefit of their employees, at whole- sale prices, goes without saying, and they will no doubt, use any and all measures to squash it in its infancy. As these stores are to be operated on a co-operated plan, once they get started, they are likely to remain un- til voluntarily decided by the promo- ters, to discontinue them once and for all, and the dealers will have to submit to it. There are rumors afloat to the effect that many think that the dealers not satisfied with a fair living profit, have pasted on fancy prices on some ar- ticles, that might have been avoided. Should these reports have any foun- dation to them, the dealers can lay a little of the cause at their own doors, that has been the means to a certain extent, of this new departure being opened by the manufacturers, that are always on the alort to aid their em- ployees to the best of their ability. If the dealers would get together and decide on a schedule of a little lower prices on certain articles that would allow it, it would be for more for their interest, than to attempt to squash a matter, that is\ entirely be- yond their power to control. Our stores are up to date and there is no one that wants to see any mis- fortune befall them, and while the management and their attendants are always courteous and obliging, can we ask any more? Yes, lower prices, that one and all may be made happy. Think it over. G. H.

President Menocal has granted him leave of absence to enable him to undertake the work. Dr. Guiteras expects to be absent from this city about five months. The Cuban sanitary official is re- garded not only here but in the United States as an expert on methods of fighting yellow fever. As a mem- ber of the yellow fever commission of the interntional health board he visited South American cities last vear to aid in suppressing the spread of the disease there. Major General William C. Gorgas, chairman of the yellow fever com- mission, has written to Dr. Guiteras givifg to him full authority to in- vestigate yellow fever conditions wherever they .may be foud in other couritries, and .to make any sugges- tions that he may see fit toward the extermination of thig disease. Director Taylor of Las Animus hos-_ pital here 'is likewise co-operating with Dr. Guiteras in this work. For the present it is proposed to start the scientific researches on the island of Martinique and in Maracaibo. The Rockefeller Foundation ~~has con- signed to Dr. Guiteras all the sceinti- fic apparatus, instruments, serums and toxins necessary for the investi- gation, Dr. Guiteras will leave Havana early this week for Mara- caibo by way of Porto Rico. An eminent corps of sanitarians, physi- cians and civil assistants will accom- pany him. EX-JUSTICE MOODY DEAD. Was Secretary of Navy and Attorney General Under Roosevelt.

TO CARE FOR PRISONERS. ‘Washington, July 2.—Plans for aiding the goyernment in the con- duct of the war, particularly by car- ing for interned prioners of war, were considered at a special meeting here today of the American Prison association, MUST CLAMP LID ON | T0 STARVE GERMANY Figures Show How Berlin Feeds Troops Through Neutrals Washington, July 2.—Germany is obtaining hundreds of thousands of tons of foodstuffs annually, enough to supply its entire army on the west front, from Holland and Scandinavian countries, and the exports from the United Statés, which reach those neu- tral nations, alone make this situa- tion possible, according to a state- ment obtained from an official source. The assertions contained in the statement are based on flgures ob- tained by the British government af- ter careful investigation and which are published for the first time. One of these is that fats sufficient in quantity to supply the rations of 7,- 7000,000 soldiers, practically the en- tire army of effectives in Germany, are now going into that country. The figures will be placed at the disposal of the exports council, cre- ated recently by executive order, which will determine shortly the pol- icy of the United States in its com- mercial relations with the neutrals. They will be used as an argument for a tighter clamping on of the lid than some had favored. A proclamation from President Wil- son declaring the first list of exports to be affeoted thereby has been ex- pected for some days. Early an- nouncements, it was sald have caused the representatives of some of the neutral countries concern, and they have sought to soften the decree. This may be one of the reasons for the delay in taking final drastic action. The statement made public con- an analysis of the food situa- tlon as it affects Germany, which was prepared by an expert. It names twelve commodities of which, it {s stated, Germany imported last year a total of not less than 1,410,100 me- tric tons. Cattle and fodder and oth- er exjorts from this country to the neutrals, it is stated, were all that made it possible for the neutrals to supply Germany with such great |- quantities of the products named. Figures Are Minimum. This part of the statement reads: “In order to illustrate the operations of exportation of foodstuffs from Hol- land and Scandinavia into Germany, the following figures are presented. These figures, it must be distinctly il- lustrate the minimum. These amounts of foodsuffs are known from reliable sources to have been imported by Ger- many from Holland and Scandinavia during 1916. Just what amounts were imported is a matter of conjecture. Certainly some more was imported, possibly much more. The following figures represent the chief articles: Metric Tons 82,600 115,000 68,800 . 70,000 ....407,000 80,500 46,400 179,500 58,500 .74,000 : 12,000 Vegetables . o ++..215,000 “When these substances are calcu- lated for their food values and applied to their entire population, we learn that they contain for each individual in the German Empire 120 calories per day which, is 6 per cent. of the per capita diet according to the reg- ulation ration. In protein these im- portations furnish about 10 per cent. of the intake, “It is in facts particularly that the figures become impressive. It must be recalled that fat is the scarcest food in Germany. Fat is mostly highly prized, indeed fat is the only food the lack of which was seriously apparent in the diet of the German people. The im- portations above stated contains a little over 53 pounds of fat per per- son per year, corresponding to about a quarter of an ounce per day, which is almost a quarter of the daily fat intake of each German at the present time. ““This amount of food is equal in fat to the fat in the soldier’s ration of 7,700,000 soldiers, practically the en- tire army of effectives in Germany. From the standpoint of calories these foodstuffs are equal to the total ra- tions of 2,500,000 soldiers, practically the Germany army in actual service on the west front. Blockade Must Be Strict. “Obviously strict enforcement Butter Meat a2 Pork products Condensed Milk Fish Cheese . . e Eggs .. as Potato meal Coffee Fruit Sugar of Xports of the United States to Hol- land and Scandinavia would neces- sarily result in elimination of these foodstuffs from German diets. It there be anything in the thcory of the blockade, it must be mad~ strict, if it is to be effective, and certainly the facts here presented constitute a definite basis for embargo on ex- ports on the part of the United States. These embargoes need not in the least endanger the food supplies of Holland and Scandinavia for their own people. Such an embargo is merely to prevent their citizens from furnishing food- stuffs ‘for the German people.” The contention is made that neutral countries could be with sufficient of the products of America to prevent suffering, and that a long step could be taken in the conservation of the supplies which the United States needs for its own consumption and for its allles by strict regulation. The statement goes into some detail concerning the sit- uation to illustrate this point. It con- tinues: “Readers of the London daily pa- pers will recall that during the past autumn and winter, there were re- | peated charges by one section of the-| British press to the effect that the operations of the blockade. against Germany were not sufficiently strict. ; Figures were given each month rep- resenting the amounts of foodstuffs the supplied man danger zone. says the Dutch government supposes this cannot be the intention British government, and in the British government's attention to the most serious tailed by these measuresshas expressed the expectation that will be modified. ish government are in substance as follows: zone in the North sea will comprise all waters, and Danish territorial south and east of a line running from a point three miles off coast along latitude 57 degrees 8 min- utes over the following points, namely, a point situated in 57 degrees 8 min- utes north latitude and 4 degrees east longitude, and another situated in 53 degrees north latitude and 4 degrees east longitude; then along the line of the fifty-third degree of north latitude to a point three miles off the Dutch coast, north and east along Dutch territorial waters. being exported into Germany from Holland and Scandinavia. That the German government maintained ma- chinery for the importation of food- stuffs was known and one particular sub-division of the department of the interior, called the Central Buying Agency, was entrusted with complete charge of the purchase with food- stuffs from neutral nations. “Inasmuch as importation of food- stuffs through Switzerland ceased when Italy entered the war. Holland on the west and Scandinavia on the north were the only countries from which these supplies could later be received. The figures of consular agents in Holland and Scandinavia confirm the statements of exportation from these lands into Germany of considerable amounts of foodstuffs of vital importance. In particular it was pointed out that the Germans were especially active in importation of fats, the one type of foodsfuff of which they had been most heavily deprived through the operation of the blockade. “That Germany imported consider- able amounts of these materials was well known to Americans residing in Germany priof to the declaration of war by the United Statés. Dutch cheese was plentiful and Dutch and Scandinavian importation of butter | were everywhere to be seen. “For a time the German authoritias attempted to stimulate the importa- tion of these articles by excluding the imported foodstuffs from the opera- tion of the maximum prices. In other words, the importer was encouraged by being permitted to sell his wares at a higher price than the maximum fixed to the retail purchaser of the same German commodity, Later on. through the protests of the German agrarians, this favoritism was elimi- nated. “Germany has always been averse to purchasing for cash since she de- sired to protect the value of the ex- change rate. She has utilized indus- try to procure supplies and to some extent these coercions have been of such nature as to be recognized by the authorities in charge of the blockade. In particular coal has en- abled Germany to exact from Scan- dinavia and Holland food in return for this fuel for which they were al- most absolutely dependent upon Germany. “But in addition to this there has developed organizations of producers and merchants in Holland and Scan- dinavia who circumvent the food re- strictions of their own countries, vio- lating laws against exporting sup- plies. All of the nations named have regulations limiting the trade in foodstuffs with Germany, but on ac- count of the large profits to be de- rived from such trade certain classes of producers and merchants have al- ways been active in such trade through evasion of the local restric- tions of their own countries. From the returns of this'trade these mer- chants have become extremely wealthy and for them has been coined a new term by which they are known, ‘Goulagh millionaires.” “It was fully recognized in Ger- many that the entrance of the United States into the war would put an end. In large part at least, to this prac- tice, since it was recognized that the food articles imported by Germany from Holland and Scandinavia were derived in large part through direct or indirect importation from the United States. Dairymen imported of cake, etc, from the United States with which to operate their dairles, and, the products of these wers sold 0 Germany. Thus the importations of butter and cheese, while really derived from Danish dairies, were actually obtained from the United States. “The United States, now being,in the war, faces the problem of re- strioting exportation to the neutral countries surrounding Germany in such a way as to prevent the cit- izens of these countries from using the supplies for the preparation of food for Germany.” Conferences on the export regula- tion question will be continued this week, in order to determine just how far the government can go without working a real hardship on the neu- trals, and still supply an effective weapon against supplying Germany with foods.
