A l Dennis urges nation drop Domestic quarrels and prepare if tha haul next door to you were on fire you engage in a do a Nestle squabble would you you a Call up the fire department and do everything possible to save your Home Quot said 1 Rof.

Unger of with her great mercantile Marine could land 400,000 men on the Atli Nolc const within three weeks. Germany could land 300,000 in Twenty four Days and half a million in six weeks. Could our Navy prevent these expeditionary forces from entering the United Stales weak in Light Craft Quot the German Navy is probably about Talco As Strong As ours. We hive twelve dreadnoughts in commission now but in modern warfare the greatest responsibility rests on the lighter Craft. The real naval War in Kun rope has been hundreds of Miles away from the main fleets. We me weak in destroyers in scouting Craft and submarines and we have no mercantile Marine available to transport troops and carry supplies. A your army too to inadequate. Legally we have an army of 21t,, but actually we have in army of just 123.-000. If we suddenly needed to mobilise in one place we could Only move 40.000 of these men. Volunteer armies Itu re failed in the Paat and we have had to resort to conscription. Various plans for increasing our military forces Are offered now. The Chamberlain Hill provides for six months training for every male us the age of eighteen. The scheme offered by the officers of the general staff provides for a years compulsory training. This plan in course of time would give us a potential army of 3.000.000 men. Industrial preparedness needed Quot England s ghastly experience during the first two years of the present War leads us to demand Industrial As Well As naval and military preparedness.

Composed of six members of the president s Cabinet is at present working with prominent business men bump Kitchener on failure of costly expedition is Laid to Early War Council London March 8.-�?upon tha Lata lord Kitchener England a idol and the Early War Council was fixed the blame today for England a Dardanelles expedition.

Whether these were Worth the loss of life and treasure involved must always remain a matter of discussing the responsibility for the step the report adjudged lord Kitchener responsible for three weeks delay in despatching troops to the Dardanelles thereby Quot gravely compromising the probability of the commission held also that Kitchener did not Quot sufficiently utilise the services of the general staff resulting in confusion and Lack of censure was expressed at the War councils failure to hold a meeting Between March 1� and May 14, 191b.

A. March 8 tha Secretary of agriculture. D. F. Houston has issued the following statement a there is nothing in the food situation of the country which justifies hysterical thinking or action. This is not a time for hysteria. Nor is this a Timo for the thought of the american people to be directed or dominated by those who have the interests of another country primarily at heart or any selfish interest to further. Quot the prices of foodstuffs Are High. A full and satisfactory explanation of prevailing prices is not possible on the basis of existing knowledge. It is Only recently that agencies have been created in the country to study food distribution and we have not All the necessary facts to enable us to arrive at the truth. Where the food Supply to located who owns it. Vibat May in the difficulties of securing it whether j the local Market conditions Are due to car shortage whether there is at a to facial manipulation or control no one can state with certainty it is Essen tial that we have the facts not Only because of the Light they might throw on present conditions hut also because they Are prerequisite for the working out of a permanent just and economical system of marketing. Quot for partial immediate Relief every individual and Community should consider earnestly the matter of food conservation and the a limitation of waste. As a nation we seem to have a disdain of economizing. In Many Homes there is a Strong feeling that it is a Only decent Quot to provide More food than will be eaten and that it is demeaning to reckon closely. The experts of Tho department of agriculture report that the dietary studies made by them Point to an annual food waste of about $7u >.-000,000. Of course the waste in families of limited Means is slight but in the families of moderate and ample Means the waste is considerable. Even if the estimate were reduced by half the waste would still be enormous. A the weather conditions during the growing season of 1916 were unfavourable in this country. Altho there was a Large wheat acreage the weather conditions were such As to favor the appearance of the Black rust disease affecting wheat. The consequence was that altho the acreage was Large the yield was relatively Small. The Corn a crop was 2,600.000,000 bushels nearly j the five year average. The oat crop was above the five year average the Bailey very nearly the five year average Rye ten million bushels More than the five year average and Rice 44,000, j t�?~00 bushels As against 29.000.000 bushels the year before and 24,500,000 Bush i Els. The five year average. The pro i duct Ion of Kafir Corn a relatively new crop was 50,800,000 bushels. The pro. Duet on of peaches 37,000,000 bushels i of pears 10,400.000 bushels and of a pies 67.500,000 barrels represents approximately the five year average while the estimated production of oranges was 23.800.000 boxes or 2,400,000 More than that of the preceding it ear. The crop of sugar beets was one of the largest Ever produced. Meat products likewise were produced in larger quantities. The estimated amount for the year being 2j378,000,000 pounds As against a five year average of 19.712,- �?�00,000 pounds or 2.000,000,000 pounds greater than the output for the year 1915. Dairy products on the whole showed a gain. Poultry products also increased. The two food products w Linch reveal a marked decrease were wheat and Irish potatoes. The wheat crop for the current year was reported to be 640,000.000 bushels As against a five year average of i28.ooo.ooo bushels and the record crop of 1915 it it of 1.026,000,000 bushels. Our Normal Domestic nerds of wheat for human food for seeding purposes and for Reserve to carry Over into the next year require 840,000,000 bushels As 1 have stated the total it a it s Supply is 840.000.000 bushels. This would give us an available exportable surplus of 164,000,000 bushels. At the rate of Export since the first of july with the tendency to decline recently we should have enough wheat in the country Quot very nearly to Supply Normal needs. Crop prospects a i tint not a Prophet and can not furnish and guarantee for the future. There Are certain things How Ever i do not know. The Farmers governed As they Are by Ordinary motives to response to the present level of prices Piave in certain directions shown a definite purpose to increase their acreage. Winter wheat was sown in the fall the reports reveal that the total acreage was 40.09d.0u0. Tills is nearly 900,000 More than the amount planted the pie be Altig fall. Much of the latter however was Winter killed so that the planting this fall wus 5,260.000 acres More than harvested last summer. Spring wheat has not been planted in 1915 the acreage was 19,445,000 acres. The average acreage for five years to 18.800,000. It would he singular if this did not increase hut taking the average for five Yea is and adding it to tiie Winter wheat acreage we have approximately 59,000,-000 acres or practically the same As the record acreage of 1915 what the yield per acre May he will depend largely on the weather conditions. The average of the six lowest it leads per acre since 1894 was 12.5 bushels. This would give us 737,000.000 Blish Els of wheat. The average yield for five years Down to the record crop year of 1916 was 14 9 bushels tills would give us 879,000.000 bushels of wheat. The average for five years Iru Riding the record crop Yeai was 15 5 bushels. This would give us 914,000,000 bushels. A yield equal to that of 1914 of 16 6 bushels would go is us 979.000,000 bushels while a yield equal to that of the record crop year would give us ,-000&Quot 1st edit a 20 to Mifflin St. 200 new Spring silk dresses especially priced at $10, $15, $16.50 100 new Spring Serge dresses made of Fine French Serge in All the new Spring shades $15.00 Val yes at $10.00 100 new Spring dress eat pleated models made of All Wool Serge and High Grade silk poplin $12,50 values at $7.50 Snappy up to the minute Coats and suits at a big saving j hundreds of new Spring suits in All the j new Spring Colon and the latest models representing values $20.00 to $35.00, a i specially priced at $12.50, $15.00, $20.00, $25.00 j 500 new Spring Coats j Colon Gold Copen Apple Green Magenta i Navy and Black.
