SLIM SUPPLY OF
WHEAT TO ALLIES
Experts Estimate Only 1886, 0oo
Bushels Will Be Available
for Export.

Westinghouse this years wheat
crop only 77,696000 bushels or
about 11.S per cent will be left for
export to the allies and neutrals af-
ter the requirements of the United
States are filled, unless Americans
heed the call of the fool administra-
ton and curtail their consumption.
Experts Make Estimates.
Experts of the bureau of crops es
innate in calculating this years
theoretical wheat surplus have plac
ed the consumption at 10 per cent
less than the normal of 5.3 bushels
as this years conditions resemble
those of 1916, when the apparent
per capita consumption was about
Ats bushels. For the estimatedor
population of the country-103, 635, 00(
people-the requirement on that ba
sis is 494,S30,000 bushels. Seed re
quirements they estimate at 1921,
900 bushels.
This years wheat crop, from the
preliminary estimates, is $50, 707 ,00t
bushels, and the total requirement.
of the United States are placed a
$50, 101, 900 bushels, leaving 1880
000bushels surplus. The food admin
istration estimated the allied coun
tries will have a deficiency of NOR
thon 4OO,000,00O bushels of wheat
basing their estimate on normal re
quirements.
They are isolated from these maj
kets other than Canada and the Uni
ted States, on which they were aC
customed to rely before the war. TIL
Russian supply cannot be gotten on
and the Bulgarian and Rumanial
supplies are in the hands of tn
Teutons.
Although Great Britain, Franc
and Italy are vigorously administra
ing and economizing their food, tn
situation in wheat, according to tn
food administration, is one of grea
difficulty and concern. Canada, fil
ures available here show, will hav
a surplus of 120,000.000 bushels c
wheat and that added to the SUI
plus of the United States will max
less than 200,OOO,0O0 bushels.

DEMAND NATION
MEET NEW LOAN
HARDNESS IN RESPONSE BE-
COME CAUSE OF DEEP CON-
Germ TO LEADERS.
FAST DRIVE FROM NOW ON
Whole Administration Will Partici-
pate to Bring Needed Money
Is Time For Action
Stor Workers.

Washington.@The hardness of the
country in responding to the second
Liberty loan is causing deep concern
to officials here. President Wilson
and his cabinet are watching the
campaign with great interest. With
half of the campaign gone, treasury
officials estimated tonight that not
more than $600,000,000 had been SUBJ
scribed, and they considered this
estimate liberal. 1t has become ap-
parent to officials that a new and
tremendous impetus must be given to
the campaign if the subscription is
to approximate the $5,000,000, 900
hoped for.
Administration Takes Up Campaign.
The whole weight of the admin
tsration is to be thrown into the
balance for the rest of the campaign,
and drive of dimensions unap-
preached heretofore is to be made
during the two weeks that remain be-
fore the closing of the subscription
| books.
A new factor, calculated to hearten
workers and to galvanize the country
into a realization that the most
strenuous efforts must be made if the
big drive is to be contaminated sue
cessfully will be introduced into the
campaign, probably within "a hours.
Notwithstanding the splendid recep-
tions given Secretary McAdoo in the
west, the efforts of thousands of
workers and the most highly organ
lied publicity campaign ever known
in the country, the daily average of
subscriptions has fallen far below
what officials had hoped for.
Problem to the People.
The time has come, officials feel,
when the people of the country must
be made to realize, in a manner that
leaves no doubt, that they must sub
scribe without further delay to the
full limit of their means
= From President Wilson down off
Gals are understood to be united in
: this belief. The campaign must be
given new impetus at once, it is felt
, and steps to give the impetus will be
taken without delay.
The $600,000,000 estimate of the
treasury takes into consideration al
