(Bv Associated Press.)

London, Feb. 22.-Under supervision
by American women, canteens are to
be established at all the leading rail
way stations in London where sand
wiches, coffee and other light refresh
ments will be supplied free to soldiers
in uniform.
Thousands of soldiers pass through
London daily, frequently without suf
ficient money to buy food.
In work at railway stations, the
American women who have been look
ing after stranded Americans and Bel
gian refugees, have learned Of the
great need for canteens where the SOL
diers can be promptly provided with
nourishing food without cost. The

the backing of the entire American
Woman's War Relief Committee.
Mrs. Benjamin Lathrop, who Is one
of the most active workers in the
French Emergency Committee organ
lied to supply the immediate needs of
hospitals in the north of France, has
interested Mrs. H. C.. Hoover and
many other American women in this
particular movement and is collecting
generous quantities of ether and other
hospital supplies so sadly needed in
many of the isolated hospitals near
the battle line. Mrs. Lathrop left Lon

there was a big rise in nearly every
thing; then came the decline, which
some believed would send the whole

only in exceptional instances. Domes

shortage IN FOOD
NOT AT ALL LIKELY
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS THERE'S ENOUGH FOR
ALL IN THIS COUNTRY.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 22.-The De-
partment of Agriculture issued the fol
lowing statement today.
"The 1914 wheat crop of the United
State was estimated to be 891 ,000, 900
bushels. The estimated surplus car
.ried over from the 1913 crop was about
a, 100000 bushels. There was, there
fore, total available supply of $751;
900 900 bushels. AS the normal annual
per capita consumption of wheat in
the United States is about 5.3 bushels,
$50, 600, 900 bushels should meet our
normal domestic requirements for
food; in addition, 100000 bushels
are required annually for seeding
61O,00O.009 bushels. therefore, should
supply the normal domestic demand.
This would leave surplus of 357 .0OO,-
Os0 bushels OF this surplus about
21O, 900 eco bushels were exported by
January 30. This left 147.O0O,0O0 bush.
els. or 40,O00,0O0 bushels more than
our average annual export for the past
five years, for export between Feb
ruary and the appearance of the
new crop, or for carrying over into
the next crop year. The amount is
sufficient to permit the export of near
Iy LOCO, 900 bushels a day until July 1
before which time the new crop will
begin to be available. This is about
the average recent expectation.
"The large demand for our wheat
arises from the fact that there was an
estimated worlds shortage of over
10000 900 bushels outside of the Unit
ed States; from the fact that the Rus
sian exportable surplus of 100000, 00O
bushels is not available generally, and
from the fact that the belligerent ma
tions are eager to secure food supplies
Pit We're not for these things we
should be discussing ways and means
OF ;ispusing of our tremendous sur
plus Of food products. "'
AS has been stated, the new Ameri
can crop will begin to appear before
July. The Argentine crop is now com
ing on the market. 1t is estimated
that from that source there will be
available 100, 900 bushels. A sur
plus of 75,000,0OO bushels or more
from India will be available in May
and June. The increase in the fall
sown wheat acreage of the United
States in 1914 was Ill per cent, OF
over 100000 acres; in the northern
hemisphere generally the acreage OF
winter wheat shows an increase Of
from three to thirty-three per cent
