PULLAR & NIVEN EAT SUPPLY OF WORLD DECREASES War Demands Cut Deep Into Europe’s Animal Herds Washington, Aug. 20.—The problem of supplying the Allles with meat has devolved malnly on the United States and daily the burden is grqwing more onerous, according to a statement is- sued by the food administration today. Wartime demands have been so great that Europe has been making alarm- ing inroads on its herds with a conse- quent reduction in its domestic sup- ply. Since the war started there has heen a total decrease of 115,005,000 in the world's supply of meat produc- ing animals. Cattle increased 7,090,- 000 in the United States while the to- tal world decrease was 28,080,000. Sheep decreased 3,000,000 in this country, while the world supply was diminished by 54,500,000, Hogs in- creased 6,275,000 in America but the zeneral supply decreased 32,425,000. During the year ending June 30, 1916 America exported 1,339,193,000 pounds of meat as compared with a three year ante-bellum average of 493,848,000 pounds. These exports went chiefly to the Allies whose capital stock of ani- mals has decreased 30,600. “Although the Luropean countries have drastically reduced meat con- sumption among war workers,” says a statement, “this saving has become utilized by the greatly increased de- mands to supply men in the armies and shops, and womeh whd have taken up physical labor. Millions of indi- viduals to whom fresh meat twice a week was a luxury, are now, by neces- sty of their extreme physical labor, cating it twice daily. “The war has Injected into a al- ready difficult situation a number: of vicious conditions which are jeopardiz- ing the ultimate animal products sup- ply of the world. The production of fodder in Kurope has been diminished by the diversion of productive labor to war, and its imports have been cur- talled by shortage in shipping and by the isolation ‘of markets by belligerent lines. “The problem facing America is not only one of supplying the immediate demand of the Allies but one which is more far-reaching in its significance. As the war goes on there will be a con- stant lessening of the capital stock of the world's food animals. The food administration points out that the only immediate solution of the problem lies in reduction of con- sumption and elimination of waste. COP'S FINGERS SLIPPERY.

Bableez picked out the happy time and place of morning close by the Sacred Heart church to have the distributing done As the congregation left the church small boys approached them with hand bills, until Policeman Denis Nealon stopped them. Policeman Nealon had been detailed to duty near the church to prevent the handing out of literature on complaint of the clergy. Babieez paid several boys ten and fifteen cents to do the distribut- ing, but when they Nealon they threw the bills sewer. A fine of $10 and costs imposed.

Richardson. with having stolen $42 and a number of other articles from his former boarding boss, Joseph Poskowski of Tremont street. He pleaded guilty to the charge of theft, but said that he had stolen the money and clothes because the boarding boss had won $80 from him in a card game. The court found probable cause and bound him over to the September term of the Superior court under bonds of $500. The case of Andrew Woheczy, charged with operating a motorcycle on the Stanley Quarter road reckless- ly and while under the influence of liquor on August 16, was continued until Thursday under bonds of $200. Assaulted Child Wife. Gusepppi Gianto faced the judge on the two charges of non-support and assaulting his wife, who is but 16 years old and has been married =« vear. Giantino forfeited a bond by not appearing in the non-support case on Saturday morning, but the case was re-opened this morning and con- tinued two weeks. He was fined $5 and costs for assaulting his wife, how- ever. His excuse was that she took his money and gave it to her mother and that made him mad. Joseph De- posti was fined $5 for assaulting his wife. He admitted that he had been drunk or he would not have done it. Rudolph Novick was charged with drunkenness and a breach of the peace said to have been committed Saturday. He was alleged to have attacked an unidentified man in Symolian’s Main street saloon and threw him on the floor. He denied that he had done anything out of the way and exhibited a torn shirt to prove that he had been assaulted.

The wife said that he had been caus- ing trouble for a,long time and beat her and kicked her daughter Satur- day. Judge Kirkham told him that he ought to be ashamed to strike a woman and told him to take some one his size. Swital was put on pro- bation. ‘When Isidore Broscckle invited a number of his male friends to sleep with him at his boarding house on Lilac street last night he started something. The boarding boss ob- jected to his boarders unauthorized hospitality and an argument followed in which the boarding boss was jammed against the wall and the po- lice were called in. A fine of §5 was imposed. Dominic Moleski was in court on the charge of assaulting his wife, Casmira. Among other offensive acts he threw a beer bottle at his spouse, when she chided him for getting drunk on the day of his brother-in- law's funeral.

TORPEDO MISSES VESSEL BY FOOT Destruction O Irish Coast An Atlantic Port, Aug. 20.—Ad- venture followed Miss Dorothy Treat Arnold, a volunteer truck driver in France for the last ten months, until she was out of sight of the Irish coast on her return trip in an Ameri- can passenger ship which arrived yes- terday from England. A U-boat's periscopes popped abeam so unexpectedly that the warn- Ing cry of the lookout who sighted them was drowned by the yell of an- other who saw a torpedo cleaving the water stralght at the stern of the ves- sel. Passengers clustered anxiously at the rail, forgetting in their absorbing interest in the gamble the life pre- servers that hung in their cabins and the boat drills that are a part of every transatlantic vovage.

Only the U- boat skipper’s miscalculation of the liner's speed saved them, they said. The naval gunners also had missed their mark, but within a few minutes the periscopes which had vanished at their shot again plunged through the waves, this time only 200 yards astern, apparently intent on discover ing-the damage wrought by the tor- pedo. Another shot, which also went wide, was fired at them and the sub- marine submerged. Drove Auto With Supplies. Miss Arnold is the daughter of Benjamin Woolworth Arnold, of Al- bany, N. Y. Clad in a uniform con- sisting of dark blue blouse and skirt, She drove a truck laden with hospital supplies for the American Fund for French Wounded. Part of the time she was in Paris and part in the re- claimed districts of Northern France. In Paris her working hours were from 9:30 a. m. to 6 p. m. “It's different when you're sent out of the city,” she said, “for then vour hours last till the work is done. For six weeks I was in the recovered dis- trict near Noyon, and saw the wanton destruction of the retreating Ger- mans. The city had been wasted by fire and pillage, and in the country- side thousands of fruit trees had been cut off at the roots. The trees were not all destroved; the choppers had done their work in sections, or in long straight lines. GIRL STOPS LEAK IN GERMAN CAMP Locates Two Intern;(i Men While Sherill Gets Third Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. Aug. 20.—A daring attempt of three German pris- oners, William M. J. Wagoner, Gus- tav Hartwig and Robert Auer, to es- cape from the German prison bar- racks here Wednesday night would have succeeded had it not been for a warning given to Sheriff Cross, of Dade county, Georgia, by Miss Elea- nor Coonrod, a member of the Chat- tanooga Bar. One of the fugitives was caught at Wildwood, Ga., and the other two at Trenton, Ga. Prison officials and guards were ab- sorbed in the task of moving the prison camp here to a new site when two of the prisoners, Hartwig and Auer, got inside a large dry goods box and Wagoner, the other prisoner, hid in a trunk. The box and trunk, with others, were left at the new quarters, an<d the guards returned to the barracks. At 8 o’clock that night the three emerged from box and trunk and made their escape, walking about half the distance to Rossville, where they caught a car that' went to Chat- tanooga. Arriving there, they registered at the Read Hous They registered at A. Mclnnis and G. Wonderpad, of Atlanta, and P. Paterson, of New Or- leans.

She found, aside of several books with notations on the margin of the leaves and with several leaves missing, a photograph of one of the men which was in- | closed in a wire frame, such as are manufactured barrccks. The sheriff was notified and men were arrested. Soon after the arrest was Deputy Sheriff Wilson arrived with Wagoner. Hartwig and Auer admit- ted they had escaped from the Ger- man camp but Wagoner asserted that he was a Swede and had never been inside the place of internment. Soon after the arrest Sheriff Cross and T. P. McMahon, Deputy United started for Ogle- thorpe with the men.

New York, Aug., 20.—Cleveland Moffett's Vigilantes yesterday de- nounced pro-Germans in less general terms than heretofore, and at a meet- ing at the headquarters of the Ameri- can Defense society, 303 Fifth Avenue, announted precisely on what greunds they would cause the arrest of dis- loyal street corner orator: A slur on the President of the United States, an attempt to dissuade voung men from joining the military service and propoganda against the sending of American troops t6 France ar against the purpose of freeing Bel- gium or fighting Germany will be the kinds of disoval utterances which the' Vigilantes will fight. A committee of seven on policy formulated this pro- gram yesterday, after hearing the experfences of ellow Vigilantes who ; patrolled Broadway for the first time Saturday night. { Mr. Moffett had heretofore believed that an attack on England or any oth- er of our allies would be considered as treason, and last week he asked President Wilson, for an authoritative decision on this point. But his feilow members of the committee overruled him, and insisted that for the present | the fight against seditious utterances be concentraled entirely on attacks against the United States. If the sident should clear up the st ticism of Eungland, such as Friends of Irish Freedom, who hold meetings regula at Thirty-seventh street and Broadway, indulge in, then the Vigilantes will broaden their cam- paign. As a result of advice from Inspector Cornelius Callahan, whom Police Com- missioner Woods had assigned to the meeting, Mr. Moffett and his assaciates decided that they would be cautious in the drive on the unpatriotic and that they would be scrupulously careful not Officers of the steamship ¢ MW House, being in Trenton on to violate the law in their zeal. Mr. Callahan pointed that cases against treasonous propagandists would have to be probed in the courts. He also advised that the’ Vigilantes should wait until a seditious orator fin- ished his address before causing his arrest. Twenty-five Vigilantes attended the deliberatdy ion. Miss K. Grant of Jersey City, the only woman present, told her associates that she had pa- | trolled Broadway Saturday night and that she intended to continue to par- ticipate in the work. J. Newman, who had fought in the Philippines, asserted ' that Jeremlan O’Leary had offered him a job as an Irish propagandist, and had told him that it was hard to get the right men, as most of thqse who were willing to serve had a German accent and that would “give everything away.” WIDOWS OF FRANCE SALUTE AMERICAN out Griel Stricken Women Grateful| for Aid From U. §.
