CAMBRIDGE, MD.. SKIT. IS, 191' BREAD IS SECOND ONLY TO BULLETS Market Bureau Chief Says That Kel ative Scarcity of food Exist" m Vnited States. Philadelphia, Sept. 14. Declaring that bread is second only lo bullets as a war essential. Charles J.Brand, chief of the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture, speaking before the National Con ference of the American Academy of Political and Social Science today, said that a relative scarcity of food supplies already exists. "This shortage is created partly, he said, by unfavorable crop condi tions and partly by the changing of forces of production into forces of destruction. The outlook for the current year, however, is good and there need be no fear of famine so far as America’s population is con cerned. "Animal production has been in creasing,” continued the speaker, “but not enough to Keep pace with the increased population. In cereals the supply must come largely from North America. "The agricultural interests of tha United States are working out plans by which every community is to pro duce its own food and feed as tar as practicable, and the production of non-perishable staples, such as cereals, is to be increased beyond the local needs in every locality where this could profitably be done. “The staples recommended by the Department of Agriculture for in creased plantings are •. wheat, rye. beans and rice.” o The Italian Hammer Foi long months during the sec ond and third year of the war the world gave little attention lo the ef forts of the Italians to break thru the line of Austria’s mountain fort resses. Of late we have taken much greater account of the work of the Italian armies because Cadorna’s brilliant strategy and the victories won and the ground gained by bis splendid fighting forces have com pelled attention. The dispatch from our correspondent at’ the Italian front gives ground foe.the belief that Italy before long may claim a greater share of the world’s* consideration, that, indeed, she mayijiecome for the time the chief factor .in the war. Italy entered the jar late and Austria had her. At first, as our correspondent points out, Italy fought ou the plains, advancing againsf the strong Italian position in the mountains. Now Cadorna’s troops, themselves in the mountains, have captured many Austrian posi tions. the imperial line has been bro ken and driven back until not only Trieste is threatened, but mention is made o fadvances "in the direction of Vienna.” This was not very well un derstood in this country, for Vienna j seemed far away. Now we Know j what it means, for Cadorna, at the j moment valiantly battling for the j possession of the crest of Monte San j Gabriele, and reasonably certain, of j taking it, is only forty miles from ; Laibach. At Laibach the mountains! end, and beyond there, if the Austri ans are driven so far. they will have the advantage of no fortified posi tions. they will have to light in the open against Cadorna’s victorious ar mies. With Laibach in the hands of her enemy, Austria’s communications with her naval stations on the Adri atic will have been cut, Trieste, of course, will have fallen, and the Italian penetration (if the territory of Emperor Charles wilj have proceeded far enough to make the already much shaken Austrians realize their imminent danger, is evidently the belief of the high Italian command that the operations]:of Cadorna’s ar mies, should their success continue, will have a very material influence upon the course and the stockarar upon the course and the outlook of the war, even if they do not bring Its end into view through the de struction of Austria’s armies and de feats from which she will be unable to recover. £ Italy does not aged men; accord ing to our correspondent she has 4.- 500,000 in the field. ‘ What she does need is puns. She also needs coal and airplanes, but above all she needs cannon.” With cannon she can go to Laibach, and if she goes there she can go further. Mak ing all allowance for the spirit of optimism which victories have en gendered at the Italian headquarters, it is obvious that an appeal for artil lery from the Italians is not one which the Allies would deny. Un fortunately, we are not makers of cannon on a large scale, otherwise I we could "Supply Italy’s needs, for | guns can be transferred from the j French front to the Italian positions i in four or five days. The English and French will be certain to take i note of her need, and meet, it. The ! astonishing exploits of Italy in dm- i ing the Austrians from mountain po- 1 sitions which had been held to be un- | conquerable is the best possible evi- ; dence that she deserves and will i make use of any reinforcements the Allies can give her. —N.

Once after an attack and a slight i advance of the French many Ger man dead were left on the field. Among these was a large, fat, red haired German who had fallen on a bit of rising ground in a good place for observation. It occurred to the colonel that a French observer might | be useful at this point. The canton- I lleurs therefore made a most beauti ful, fat red-haired German corps- I \ know you are too good an artist to i , see any contradiction of terms here ■ —and that night they crawled out j with it to where the fat German lay. They threw a rope around the dead i man, dragged him away, and left him ' I behind a pile of rocks, and they then 1 | placed the French observer in his i place with a rope attached, so that I they could pull him back. • i .Most of the distinguished men of ! Japan, without regard to party af filiations. have undertaken to raise a | fund for the erection of a handsome’; statue to the memory of the late .Mar : shal Prince Oyama, commander-hero of the Manchurian campaign in the j l Russo-Japanese war.
