SAVING FOOD Is A NECESSITY

Announcement has been made that the
United States has already sent to the allies
the full surplus of wheat and meat over the
ordinary consumption during times ofpeace.
1t is therefore evident that every pound OF
wheat, every pound of meat that is sent from
the United States from now until the next
crop is harvested is a pound of wheat saved,
or pound of meat which some American
has denied himself or herself that those who
With the food supply of the nation at such
a point there is an insistent demand for food
for the armies of the allies, as well as for
American soldiers. Steps should immedi-
ately be taken to curb the food hogs i'll
America. There are some such in Ontario
who should be made to feel the effect of gov
ernmental supervision.
Such conversational patriots should be
forced to take their chances with everyone
else i'm the distribution of the necessities of
life. The man with million is no more en-
titled to be fed than the man with dollar.
Both are Americans, no more and no less.
There is evidence sufficient extant to
show that Uncle Sam is treating the food
problem just that way and the rich as well
as the poor will have their food cards unless
by voluntary action the people accept the
situation and patriotically give their CO.

THE ALLIES GIFT TO cHRIsrENDoM

After more than 100 years Jerusalem, is
|in the hands Of Christians. IL is the allies
gift TO Christianity for Christmas 1917 and
millions Of devoted followers, and those who
barely professed belief in The Saviour's
teachings will rejoice.
The capture OF Jerusalem is but another
of the strange outcomes of the war. When
the conflict began in 1914 Great Britain en-
deavred in vain to localize it to the Balkin
lpenninsula, but Germany woqld not listen to
such proposal for she dreamed of her em-
pire from Antwrep to the Persian Gulf.
During the early stages of the war its hor-
lrors were far from the Holy Land, and few
indeed speculated that in the course OF
events the Turks would be driven from it.
To the student of history the fall OF the
sacred city has more than passing interest.
For It's release from the impossible Turk
thousands of lives have been shed. Some OF
the most inspiring acts OF hnightly heorism
were performed by the Crusaders who
lsought t0 win the Holy Grail.
Indeed one of the strangest things about
the whole age long struggle for possession OF
the City of The Master is the fact that it has
fallen in war started by the Germans de-
scemdants of the people who saw thousands
of children march ON over the Alps, TO
struggle and die in fanatical attempt to
win the Holy City

of military needs. That being
the case private capital will not be available
for private investment, nor will it be at
liberty to seek an open market.
Even the adoption of such a law would
not effect government aid for the Warm
springs. This project comes directly under
the classification of those enterprises which
are of military necessity. The addition of
the $4,000 acres of new land which the com
pletion of the project would make arrigable
would materially increase the supply of food
for this section and thus serve direct war
purpose.

The hymn of hate has done its work. But
il alone is not To blame. The philosophy that
Germany has wooed the past half century
was not that of love. IL was religion OF

The American people do not sympathize
