HOOVER TELLS BOYS
TO MATCH GERMANS
Food Administrators Address
to Working Reserve Heads
Shows National Needs.
LOAD FALLS ON AMERICA

Boy for boy, American for every Ger
man over fifteen years of age, should
be organized for the national defense.
So urged Herbert c. Hoover. national
food administrator, addressing, yester-
day afternoon. the conference of d1rec-
tors of the United States Boys Work
ing Reserve, assembled in the New Will
lard Hotel.
I'VE are fellow laborers in the same
field" he told his audience. that of
voluntary effort in this time of emer,
gency I feel tina. the production and
est concern.
Production Still Diminishing.
1.-THE production of the allied world
is still diminishing and the markets
to which they have access are steadily
1essening. Practically the United states
today is the only country in the world
which still possesses its production pow
with all the boys and women that
they have placed in the field the allies
have not been able to keep up with
production. France is 40 per cent below
It's normal. A large part of productive
power in Australia and India has been
cut out
1.-The load from now on falls upon us.
We have a load to carry. If we falth-
fully do it and make every unit count
we possibly cannot carry more than ~
per cent of what Europe should have.
But whatever we do is lessening and
alternating to some degree that prlva-
ton.
in order to count the maximum pro-
duction of the country we not only
have to increase the productive units
of the country. but we have now to
face the substitution of the units by
putting ourselves in the front and men
in the munition factories. 1t is abso-
1utely vital that We get all the non
Productive units into PRODUCTION.

Germany's Record.

Germany has a population of ABOUT
sixty Eight million people-ten million men
In arms and eighteen million under fifteen
years of age, which leaves them only
about forty million of population to
support the men at the front. They
have accomplished their desire to raise
food and feed their civilian population
and carry on the necessary functions of
life.
Every boy over fifteen years of age
is in active productive service today.
Every boy we can get to produce in
this country will be fighting against a
similar boy in Germany. If we can Pvt
this idea into the boy here-that he
bears the position against one in Ger
many-we can do that much for his
imagination. and it will be a stimula-
ton to him.
I'VE hear a great deal about autoc-
racy-but it possesses one great vir-
tue. and that is. it's ability to organize.
Our only hope as democracy is to put
up an equivalent and equal organiza-
ton. IT is nonsense to say that every
form of organization is conducive to
autocracy. Organization does not spell
autocracy-it spells national defense.

Majority Play on the Streets.

Where do the children play? 1t is
significant that 48.S per cent OF the
boys and 37.5 per cent of the girls re-
ported play on the streets. which Is
both dangerous and contrary to law
Vacant lots were mentioned by 4S per
cent of the boys and 1871 per cent Of
the girls.
If the answers of these 1900 children
concerning the games they played may
be taken as an indication. an apparent
scarcity of play activities exists in
Washington. Only one game, base ball.

What are the. children of Washington

Newman, while District Commissioner r.
the children's bureau of the depart

a report on this was made yesterday
by Miss Julia C. Lathrop and the gen

How many children use the play
grounds. what are their favorite games.
how many go to the movies. what
other sort of recreation they want. now
many work on Saturdays. what or
eanizations and clubs they belong TO-.
and how many of them enjoy Mixing
all this is covered in a special chapter
Of the report. which is Of great general
interest.

Ten Nations Are Starving,
Seven Millions Suffering,
Declares Capt. J. C. Smith

Ten nations are starving. seven mil
lions Of people are suffering from food
shortage. So said Capt. Jefferson c.
Smith of Maine. who has occupied him
self in intensive training camps for
boys to make them into farmers help
ers.

rest of the delegates to the conference
of directors of the U. S. Boys Working
Reserve. And IL they do not stop reso-
luting and get down to cases, he warned
them. their good will is of no avail
Now-not twelve months from now, he
told them all. is the time to strike.
To Produce Food a Mans Job
The matter of producing food, said
Capt: Smith. is mans job. and not one
to delegate to women's auxiiiaries.
Damn the expense. he said have a
proper program and any state legisla-
ture will stand for IT.
This is not the time to bubble about
cost. he advised: the question is how
best thing can be done that is neces-
sary to be done and not how cheap it
can be done.
He told the delegates to stop splitting
on their hands" and to take initiative
Today is the day to achieve results, and
not some other day, he said.
Get some money. he advised them,
confident that any state legislature
will vote an appropriation on the basis
II necessary. for he considered it hon
orable to get money to satisfy the
hunger Of the peoples of the earth.

sheriff twenty years before and
