Starving on Full Stomachsl
ditor of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: with regard to recent controy,ny
concerning the respective values OF whit,
and whole wheat nours may say t,y
words?
White -four rarely contains more thss
per cent protein. It is extremely deficient
fat; the valuable mineral constituent hn
been almost totally destroyed or rei,ete
It's value lies in the fact that It may \
stored for speculation. II is dead, iaaninIb,
robbed of the parts with real food value. h
Is heavy, and impossible for many stOmss.s
It lacks the tissue-building protein, the t'i,.
making and energy releasing fat and 4,
bone, nerve and brain-restoring mIn,ni
The poor cannot afford the expensive fooii
that meet these deficiencies; malnuinis',
causing neuritis, pelagra, beri-beri, snssi
ricketts,, is the result
Whole wheat supplies everything that rAp
-four lacks and is, IN addition, more palans,
and dgestible.
But whole wheat cannot be stored with a.
little care as white -four. Therefore ~
millers, who until now have been able %
hoard for high prices, have circulated lies
concerning the values Of these aour'. They
of all who know the facts, are the only ones
who would not welcome a compulsory charge
in the national diet.
Shall these conditions endureG Shall the
poor of America continue to be starved "a
full stomachs? Shall We continue to
cheated out of full value IN our bread "
trust that Mr.. Hoover will soon enact reg
lations prohibiting the milling OF more ttn
? certain small amount Of white -four

in the whole war; slowly they pushed
across the FORCES brook; they took Malan-
court, Haucourt, Bethincourt; they pushed
in between Dead Mans Hill and Hill 3O4,
and on April they made the last of their
great sweeping attacks. Thereafter Yer
dun became a siege and pounding opera
ton.
On Monday the French retook Dead
Mans Hill. They retook the 295-metres
summit and the 265-metres summit, which
was taken by the Germans in the early
days and proclaimed to be in fact the sum-
nit of Dead Mans Hill. There is no more
bitterly contested piece of ground in Eu-
rope than the summit of Dead Mans Hill,
now retaken by the French, unless it be
the ground that lies between the Ravine
of Death and Fort de Vaux, on the other
side of the river.
The French have bettered their posi-
tons materially. They have deprived the
Germans of the last direct vision Of the
ruined city of Verdun-the Talou Hill.
There is no ground left in German posses
sion from which the twin towers Of the
cathedral above the fortress rock can be
seen. II will be safer now to come down
to the old familiar road from Barbecue
and Ste. Menehould to the battered en-
trance gate of the citadel. The American
Ambulance boys, who have been travelling
the road out toward Esnes, where one OF
them found his death not so long ago, Will
find the route easier now since Dead Mans
Hill is in French hands again. Only the
long range German guns will now drop
shells in Verdun, and this latest operation
is but the epilogue to the great battle of
last year.
Probably not less than million men
have been killed, wounded or captured on
this field since Verdun became prize of
the war. No single fortress in human his
tory has exacted such value alike from
defender and attacker. Verdun was
Frances second contribution to the de-
fence of civilization against barbarism. At
Verdun France repeated "the Miracle of
the Marne." And not until the terrible
strain of Verdun had lasted for six months
we're the English ready, as they were al
WAYS willing, to take something of the
burdens off French shoulders.
To-day the British are bearing full
share. British armies are making the
great 4, attacks and suffering the great
losses, but to-day the whole world rejoices
that in the first month of the fourth year
of the war French spirit still stands forth
unbroken and triumphant and that French
soldiers are retaking the last and utter
most outposts of Verdun. Once more Yer
dun has become a symbol. A year and
half ago the Germans set out to take it
and thus break the heart of France, but
to-day, when the Germans are telling the
world that France is exhausted and her
spirit broken, we see French troops sweep
out along the Meuse hills to new victories
and to one more in that long line of tri-
umphs which have made the whole world
now and hereafter debtors to the French
people. Nor will the French themselves
fail to take added pride in victory COM
ing on the third anniversary of their first
great defeat of the war, the Battle of
Morhange, fought on August 20, 1914.

Another Vote for "Yanks'

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: From time immemorial all Americans,
whether from the North, East, South or West,
visiting Europe we're hailed by the populace
as Yankees. Then why not call our boys IN
khaki a name that is dear TO all hearts,
"Yanks"? HARRY BRAHAM.

Blu Arthur Gleason

Here follow few quotations from recent
newspapers, periodicals and public men which
may be found helpful in estimating the drift
of British public opinion. They are selected
from several thousand clippings, as best ex-
pressing that opinion.
Sir Horace Plunkett has recently stated
that to those who cherished an und"ng
aired of England he would say that the
England of the war is wholly unlike any
England that has ever been. ut is dominated
Ly labor and it wants to do justice to Ire
land"
This transferrence of power from the few
to the many is acknowledged by nearly all
leaders Of public opinion, though opposed by
some.
Dean Inge on December 25, 1916, said:
CATER the war the control of our destinies
will mass into the hands of that class whic'
seems to mel hope I am not unjust 20
them-to be at present not the most 1ully

useless to scold, and much worse than use
less 20 flatter them"
Mr.. Prothero, the Minister for Agriculture
has said lin the House of Commons on July
10, 1870:
cit is not mans calling to be laborer or
a lawyer or even land agent. In the "ider
sense of the word, mans calling is to De

cloying as so-called love when you get
too much of it. Is 1t not so?'

You know Ponce de Leon, whom
we all read about in our school days,

youth. He didn't find it, but if you
remember, he didn't die young. Why?
Because in the search through the
wilds of Florida, his days were filed
with adventure and the elixir he was
hunting was right in his grasp all the
time.
1T seems to me that some doctor
would make a hit by prescribing the
movie treatment for neurasthenic
patients. Let an overly sophisticated
woman, who thinks life holds no
more allurements for her, try to
please a director following the script
of an over imaginative writer for a
