ASKS PEASANT WOMEN
TO SHARE THEIR FOOD
Head of German Food Regulation
Board Appeals in Behalf of Those
Residing In Cities.

LONDON. August 26.-Adolph Won
Ratocki. president of the German food
regulation board, has issued an appeal
to the women of rural Germany to
divide their food with the women and
children of the towns and cities. says
a Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam to-
day.
Herr Won Batocki, in his appeal. >s
the harvest this year is, in general,
abundant, and that the cattle have re-
covered from the effects of the fodder
scarcity of last winter, caused by the
failure of crops.
But with the maintenance of pro-
duction," he adds. all is not done. The
produce must be rightly distributed to
those who require it. Millions of SOL
diers arg engaged in the hardest Of
abundantly fed Hundreds of thou
sands lie wounded in the hospitals and
need abundant good food. Other mil
lions of men and women in big towns
and in mines are also working loyalty
for victory. They wish, like you, to
have enough to eat, in order to be able
to work. Like you, they have children
who cry when their mothers cannot
give them necessary food and their
parents then lose the strength and
courage for work.
Both for the soldiers and for those
who fight in workmen's clothes we
must provide nourishment. People on
the land must give for that purpose all
they can dispense with in their house
holds. No soldier, no wounded man,
no munition worker, no German
woman. no German child in the towns
will suffer hunger through the fault
of the peasant women if the serious
ness of the situation is clear to them.
Help can be given only by good will,
Intelligent perception and recognition
of the danger that threatens every
German man, woman and child If the
enemy's starvation plan should sue
