The trail-hitters ranged from such men as former Gov ernor Eugene N. Foss, who to-day gave Hilly $1,000 at the free-will of fering, down through all classes of society. Sunday could have preached to 100,000 persons to-day if the taber nacle would have hold them.

New York, Jan. 25.-The danger point is rapidly being attained in the matter of an adequate meat supply for the United States, according to a compilation made public yesterday bv the Foreign Trade Department of tho National City Bank. Tho compi lation compares the number of food animals available in the United States on January I, 1017, as shown by a recent statement of the Depart ment of Agriculture, with the num ber available on January 1, 1!)07, and shows a decline of more than 10, 000,000 in the number of cattle other than milch cows, and of nearly 5, 000,OoO in the number of sheep from 1007 to 1017. Meantime the popu lation of Continental United States increased 15.000,000. Hogs, the bank said, were the only class of food animals showing an in crease, the number of ?wine in the United States having been oil Janu ary I. 11)17, about 13,000,000 great er than In 1007. "This largo decrease in the num ber of food animals," sSild the state ment, "has not, however, reduced the value of the entire group. On the contrary, the advance in price of meats has greatly increased the value of the reduced nunvher. The Department of Agriculture ligures, on which these compilations are based, put the value of 40,S 10,000 cattle, other than milch cows, on farms in the United States on Janu ary 1. 1917. at $1,100,002.000, while the value of the 51.055,000 head on January 1, 1907, was but $881,567, 000. "The average per head was of milch cows in 1 007, $3??.78, and in 1917, $50.99 per hoad: all other cattle in 1907, $17.09 per head, and in 1917, $35.88; sheep in 1907. $3.83 per hoad, and in 1917, $7.14, and swine in 1007, $7.03 per head, and at the beginning of this year, $11.73 per head. Thus cows, 'other cattle,' and sheep have doubled in price per head In ten years, while Swine show an increase of 5 0 per cent per hoad in value in that pe riod." At the same time, the bank's state ment pointed out that the adverse value of horses and mules had de clined in recent years, in which oc curred the groat increase in the use of horseless vehicles, the average per head of horses having fallen from $110 in 1911 to $103 In 1917, and of mules from $120 in 1911 to $118 per head In 1917. From this, the bank reaches the conclusion that the automobile had apparently averted an increase in price of draft animals during the period in which the price of food animals increased from 5 0 to 100 per cent.

The Isaac Peral took on am munition at New London and then wont 150 miles to sea for target practice for a few days. Then the submarine will start for Spain. lt is expected that a Spanish cruiser will convoy her across the Atlantic. She has a Spanish crew and is In command of Lieut. Carranza. Baltimore agents of the German merchant submarine owners have been notified to expect in this coun try soon not only the Deutschland, but another merchant undersea boat twice as big as the craft in which Capt. Paul Koenig has paid two visits to this country. Paul G. L. Hilken, who is actively handling the Ameri can interests of the submarine com pany, has expressed doubt as to which U-boat will get here first. The Baltimore agents have been notified that the Deutsehland and the new giant submarine left Germany about the same time. The advices which reached this country, however, did not state which left first, nor did it mention the relative speed of tho two submarinos. Capt. Koenig may not command the Deutschland. To him, it is said, has been entrusted the big new submarine, the name of which is unknown, and it is understood he is piloting her under the Atlantic to this country, lt is said Lieut.
