'MORE PORK NEEDED American Farmers Urged to Increase Hog Production. department of Agriculture Pleads lor Heavier Output In 1918. "Remunerative Prices for -Product Assured. per WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. Fifteen cent Increase in the production of pork In 1918 will be required f or-domestic consumption and export to the allies, the Department of Agriculture today announced, in urging- every farmer to do his share toward remedyin.gr the shortage of pork products. "If the farmer-breeders of the vari ous states do not reach the quotas set for them," says the Department, "a more acute shortage of pork products will result than now prevails, extreme ly high prices for hams, bacon and lard will prevail and only a few will benefit, the consumer suffering from extremely high, prices and a shortage of necessary animal fats. On the oter hand, if the programme is carried out, a market is provided for about one- third of the 1917 corn crop, the de mands of the country for pork products can be met without strain, prices to the producer will be remunerative and those paid by the consumer should be reasonable. "The Food Administration already has announced that prices of hogs will be kept at a point which will assure remunerative returns to producers, so far as It has power to do so, through Its purchases for the Government and for the allies. "The duty of American farmers to themselves and to the Nation Is clear. "Livestock production, especially hog-raising, must be increased. If there should be a. serious shortage of hogs In the country In 1918 there will be more corn on hand than the mar ket can absorb. The very extensive campaign now In progress to replace as much wheat as possible with corn ehould be encouraged in every possible way." traveled highways In the county, is undergoing repairs, which were greatlv needed.

The status of several thousands ' of Poles, Hun grarlans, Bohemians and others owing allegiance to Austria-Hungary, who are serving; In the American military forces, furnished an embarrassing; com plication to the preparations of the United Btates for a declaration of war with the dual empire. The problem ia being; discussed by Secretaries Luna lng; and Baker and Congressional lead era with a view to legislative action. Upon passage of the war resolution by Congress the Austro-Hung-arlan sub jecta would technically beooma enemy aliens, Ineligible for service with the American lulors. Also, ider strict they remained in American uniforms and were captured while bearing: arms against the nation to which they legally owe allegiance they might be subject to execution for treason. ' Legislation whether to confer Ameri can citizenship en bloc or by name or to except these men by special statute from statutes ' dealing with civilian enemy aliens is being considered. An obstacle to general action has been found in the objection of Army commanders to the presence in their ranks of any men whose loyalty may in the slightest degree be questionable, but some means will be found to guard against throwing out of the service thousands of good and loyal soldiers. The fact that Austrian subjects resi dent in the United States become enemy aliens under the declaration ' of war will make no change in thiir status of employes In many of the large in dustries working on Government orders. It is believed few will be discharged. A declaration of war. it is held, changes their status but little. PRO-GERMAN PUNISHED TElTTO IS COMPELLED TO AMERICAN FLAG, KISS N.
