.FOOD SHORTAGE IN FRANCE GROWING DENMARK AND SWITZERLAND "ARE FACING A REDUCTION OF WHEAT RATIONS. WAR INSURANCE IS POPULAR Applications Near the Three Billion Mark ? All Adult German Alien Ene mies in United States Must Regis ter. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington. ? According to the food administration, shortage of wheat in France is becoming more and more alarming each week. The minister of general revlctualing Indicated recently that a further reduction of 'JO per cent In the bread ration would soon Become imperative. Denmark is now looking forward to a reduction of wheat rations. Final figures for the cereal harvest show a totnl of about t52,(HtO,UOO bushels, which is 20,000,000 bushels less than in 1910 and about 10,000,000 less than was es timated in the summer, when the pop ulace was put on bread rations. The authorities are already considering a further reduction in the allowed con sumption. The food situation In Switzerland is rapidly falling to th^ danger line. A ration that Is far below the consump tion In many of the countries at war has already l>een ordered. Under the new regulations the Swiss may have only a pound and a half of sugar per person per month. The bread ration has been fixed at about half a pound a day, and the butter ration at one fifth of a pound a month. Applications for war-risk insurance by men of the army and navy have nearly reached the $.1,000, 000, 000 mark, and continue to come In at a rate of about $(>0.<hh>,000 a day. The average amount applied for per man is $8,(>:{0, the average having increased steadily since the act went Into effect, Oc tober 0. For persons who joined the colors before October 15, 1917, the last day for applying for government insurance Is February 12, 1018. Intensive ef forts are being made by commanding officers to have all their men take In surance before that date. The maximum amount which may be taken by any man Is $10,000. Among the regulations for the regis tration of German alien enemies In the United States during the first week of February, are the following : All German males of the age of four teen years and upward are required to register. Notice of time and place of registration will be given by pub lication in newspapers. The affidavit of each registrant must be accompanied by four unmounted photographs, signed across the face so as not to obscure the features, and the finger prints of each registrant shall be taken. Between 10 and 15 days after reg istration each alien enemy must again appear before his registration officer to obtain a registration can!, which will bear his name and his left thumb print. This card must be carried by the registrant for future identification. An alien enemy who changes his place of residence to anotker place within the same registration district * must at once report the change to the registration officer. No alien enemy shall move out of the district without r permit. Application for a permit must be made upon a form furnished by the department of Justlcc, giving full particulars as to date, reason for change, and intended place of resi dence. To increase France's crops and to lighten the burden of toil on her old men, women and children 1,500 farm tractors will go to that country from the United States. The first hundred are already on the way, and the whole number will be in France by March, In time for the spring plowing. Deck space was provided for the first ship ment on a naval transport. Schools of instruction will be organized. The acreage sown to crops in the uninvaded portion of France in 1917 was about 10,000.000 acres less than in 1913, or 24.4 per cent. The in creased production through the use of tractors this year is expected to great ly improve the food situation. According to records of the selective service, country boys do not show much physical superiority over thou* of the cities. For purpose of compari son selection was made of cities of 40,000 to 500.000 population, and a cor responding set of counties of the same total size. In the physical examina tions 28.47 per cent of the city boys were rejected, as against 27.90 per cent of the country boys. Theaters and restaurants In Den mark close at 10 p. m. to save lights. To save kerosene, which is sold at a price regulated by the government at 72 cents a gallon, Greenland whale oil is being tried for lighting. It Is esti mated 200,000 acetylene lamps are now in process of manufacture. The distillation of all kinds of alco hol except for Industrial uses Is pro hibited. A large part of the available alcohol will be needed for use in the new incandescent lamps. It Is esti mated that 2.000 tons of grain will be saved by the new regulations. 1 The commltteta on publU' Inform? ' lion hns made the following transla tion of a story appearing in the Oe ! tuber 15, 1017, Issue of the Leipziger Volkszeltung : i "A sample of the fashion after which bloated landlords treat the wives , of soldiers 1ms been brought to our j attention from Upper Lungemiu In Silesia. One of the hired men of I>oc | tor Mueller's agricultural estate has been for a long time at the front. His wife, who had worked alongside her husband before the war after the usual custom, remained In the ranks of the Held hands and accordingly retained her farm cottage. October 1 this wom an got the following letter: " 'The undersigned baiiff of the es tate hereby gives you notice as of this date to the Held service for January 1, 11)18. On that day you are to give up your house. The work which you are doing on the farm does not com pensate the farm for the loss which accrues to It through the continued support of your family. Look out for yourself away from this farm, your house is needed for other use.' "The woman communicated the notice to her husband with these words: 'I I must tell you my distress, soon I shall not be able to see the paper for my tears. What shall I do? Winter is at the door and the cottage is full of lit tle children.' "Tints the bailiff of the estate of a bloated landlord turns a family with eight children out of doors In midwin ter while the man is at the front. Comment takes care of itself." j War credits extended to foreign gov ernments since the United States en tered the war total $4,236,400,000. Of this CJreat Britain received $2, 045,000, - ,<X>0: France, $1, 285, 000,000 ; Italy, $500; 000.000 ; Russia, $325,000,000; Bel glum, $77,400,000; Sfc-bia. $4,000,000. It is estimated that 50,000 different articles are needed in modern warfare. The clothing equipment of but one in fantryman for service in France in cludes the following: Bedsack, three wool blankets, waist belt, two pairs wool breeches, two wool service c?ats, hat cord, three pairs summer drawers, three pairs winter drawers, pair wool gloves, service hat, extra shoe laces, two pairs canvas legglns, two flannel shirts, two pairs of shoes, five pairs wool stockings, four identification tags, summer un j dersliirts, four winter undershirts, overcoat, five shelter tent pins, shelter tent pole, poncho, shelter tent. Listed as "eating utensils" the in fantryman receives food to be carried In his haversack during field service, canteen and canteen cover, cup, knife, | fork, spoon, meat can, haversack, pack carrier, first ai*! kit and pouch. His "lighting equipment" consists of rifle, bayonet, bayonet scabbard, cart ridge belt and 100 cartridges, steel hel [ met, gas mask, and trench tool. To help increase the pork supply the , department of agriculture has released to motion picture theaters, through one of the large companies, a film show ing the work of the boys' pig cluba which the department is organizing In all parts of the country. The film shows methods of instructing farm boys who have joined the agricultural clubs how to raise better pigs and the methods used by (*lub members in car rying out instructions. The first pig club was organized In Louisiana in 1010. NOw approximately 45.000 members are enrolled Through out the country. Clubs In several states are planning to send carloads of fat hogs to fairs and stock shows, after which they are to be marketed co-op eratively. Other moving pictures being used to show the importance of Increased food production show activities In the na tional forests, important ?sources of timber and water supply. Athletic work in army camps and cantonments is in the hands of 82 trained organizers and coaches. They are civilian aids on the staffs of com manding officers, and their salaries are paid by the government. Particular attention has been given to boxing, as it* assists men in bayonet fighting. A committee of best-known boxers worked out plans, and moving pictures to teach boxing have been made. Baseballs, bats, basketballs, and soccer balls, boxing gloves, and other equipment are supplied each company, In part, from a government appropriation. Boys' and girls' clubs tn Northern nnd Western states pledged for war service in gardening, canning, poultry raising, and other emergency enter prises have more than 800,000 mem bers. A fireproof solution for treating air plane fabrics Is a thing which may be realized In the near future, experi ments In a private plant having al ready developed a comparatively suc cessful solution. The manufacture and consumption of pastry regarded as a luxury in France has been entirely suppressed, except on Sundays and holidays. Government barges have been placed In service on the upper Mississippi, and through government assistance a new fleet 1? to be built for this serv ice.
