DISPOSAL OF APPLE SURPLUS CONFRONTS CONTINENT GROWERS Australia Offers 50,000,000 Pounds of Jam and 8,500,000 Apples to World Markets Melbourne, Australia, Oct. 30.- Australia has a surplus of apples to offer the world's market in competi- tion with the American fruit. How to dispose of it is one of the probemstconfronting the government. At the request of fruit growers, Prime Minister William M. Hughes has an- nounced that American apples may be imported in Australia only during November and December. Australian fruit growers are relying upon the far eastern markets to ab- sorb the apple surplus but have been somewhat discouraged by the informa- tion that the United States authori- ties also are inquiring whether or not the far east cannot be made a market for America. The surplus of fruit in Australia is due largely to the lack of shipping facilities. Australia has about 50,004,000 pounds of jam, and 8,500,000 of evap- orated apples to offer to the rest of the world. The British government has agreed to take 12,000,000 pounds of jam in the first quarter of 1918. The Australian authorities are urging the British government either to accept the whole 50,000,000 or to offer to the United States what Britain does not want or cannot take for its own use.

CUSTER MEN OPEN "Y FUND DRIVE $1,500,000 for Military Association Work in Camps Asked by State Committee Officers and privates of Camp Cus- ter will lend their efforts in a cam- paign which opens this week to se- cure $1,500,000 for military Y. M. C. A. work in the state. Major-General Dickman has expressed his approval of the plan, and sanctioned the propos- ition of sending the privates to all parts of the state to speak. Mr. A. L. Parker, camp secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will begin the drive at Grand Rapids and Saginaw. Soliciting funds will take place sometime early next month. The need of more huts in Camp Custer to car- ry on the service of the association is imperative, according to the officers. About one-third of the 15,000 sold- iers in camp attend the Y. M. C. A. Sunday services and an equal number are to be found at the masses of the Knights of Columbus. Nearly 2,500 are away from the camp on leave and an additional 2,500 do not attend church on Sunday. Heat and light are furnished to the Y. M. C. A. for its buildings, by the government, free of charge. Most of the structures were erected at a total cost of $80,000. The running expenses and salaries of the workers are con- siderable, and it is for this reason that the association has launched the cam- paign for more support to better maintain these soldiers' club rooms, and to build more. Plans for the University's part in the soldiers camp fund are being made and will be announced later, according to a statement issued by one of the committee members. Collect Smokes for Camp Custer All students are urged to contribute smokes and books for the men at Camp Custer.

GOVERNMENT WVILL FEED CAPTIVE SAMMIES Supplies Already Being Sent To Ger- man Camps Through the Red Cross The United States government is preparing to care for all American soldiers and sailors who may be taken prisoners. As Germany provides neither suffi- cient food nor clothing for her prison- ers-of-war this country is planning to care for her own men in German camps. Seventy-five tons of food have already been sent to the 100 American soldiers now in German camps through the Red Cross ware- house in Berne, Switzerland. The money which has been appro- priated for this cause is not spent at a rate which will exhaust the sum by next summer, but is being conserved for future use so that the soldiers may receive the maximum benefit from it.

Washington, Oct. 30.-'More than three-f ourths of the world's popula Lion lives in the countries at wvar wit Germany or her allies, according to eompilations from government sourc- es. The persons living within the cen- tral countries are outnumbered more than seven times by anti-Germanic populations, and the proprtion is swelled even higher if consideration is taken of the populations of the 10. countries which have broken relations with the central powers. Germany's enemies now include nearly all the white and yellow races, and the phys- ical resources of about half the world's area are mobilized against the forces of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bul- garia and Turkey. It is pointed out that, of the world's total population of 1,691,000,000 about 1,342,000,000 live under the flags of the central powers' open enemies in the war. About 40,000,000 inhabit the countries which have broken relations, and 132,000,000 are neutral, while the population of Germany and her allies are about 177,000,000. Of the world's total area of 57,000,- 000 square miles, 27,000,000 are under anti-German domination, while the Germanic allies control only 5,000,000. State department records show the following nations at war with Ger- many or her allies: United States, Great Britian, France, Russia, Serbia, Japan, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Ru- mania, Greece, Montonegro, San Mar- ino, China, Cuba, Panama, Siam and Liberia.

Among those who give too little or too much thought to their dress, the distinguishing thing to do is to give just thought enough. That's all a man does who buys Adler-Rochester Clothes.
