Washington.—Mnnofacfurprs of essential food product* have hern advised Dy the food administration that they will In- able to obtain their foil rctjulrrmenta of raimr for manufacturing purposes during the coming year. Tills appliea particularly to |ie<4:cr* of fruit, coodeiurd milk, inch vegetable* for tin- prrseriation of v-hJch sugar nmy Is- necessary, as well as to the housewives, for usage In preserving pnrpoM-«. As noon ns the car ebon age i* relieved, according to the fo««l aiiciinistrnrton statement, suje pile* of sugar will Is- avaPabl- for these purposes. .Shipments from Cuba are steadily Increasing. All '■nwicrs Imve been advis<<d to hold for war pun>oses such quantities of canned earn, i>ens. tomatoes, string beans, and salmon as they may haveon hand. Such quantities a* are not wnnti-d will tie released within n fern days after receipt of reports allowing stork* on hand, which must be sul>mittrd to the food administration before March la. After ;hire yeqrs of warfare the total number ef airplanes able to take the air at any one time on either side of the western front ha< over ->Kl. Each plane require* a fore* of -16 men. placement planes on the ground, and one training plane for every pilot who eventually reaches the front, with an extra engine for each plane. The life of a plane I* not more than two months, and the engine must l>c overluiuled after each TTi bn.ir*. Now that American battle planes are going overseas, the great problem is to secure the thousand* of skilled medianIn. eticinemen. motor repair men. wood and mi-tal worker* needed to keep the planes In perfect condition. This engineering and mechanical force at the airdrome*, the flying fields, and rei-alr depot*, both here and behind the line* In France. Is a vital Industrial link In the chain to air supremacy.

Washington.—While a large number of men will be called out during the Present year to fill up the army and complete It* organisation, the War Eepartment plans do not call for the creation of any additional divisions In 1918.
