The available supplies of foodstuffs
are the lowest in all food d-producing
: countries that they have been for
over fifty years.
Prices of most foodstuffs have
about doubled during the past two
or three years.

casts wheat crop which will be
- short OF American consumption
The reserve supplies of meats are
far below normal.
"A nation at requires more
food than nation at peace
France, England, Belgium and
Italy are short of food and are large
ly dependent on American imports,
and unless some means is found of -~
supplying them, they can not con-
tinue to fight effectively
The South is importing from the
West and North $600,O0OOOO to
$7OO,O00,OOO worth of foodstuffs an
nually and is thus a tremendous
drain CT the nations food resources
and, consequently, is now a menace
to the nations safety.

Copenhagen. May 19.--(via London)
Destruction Of the Zeppelin L-22, re-
ported in a British announcement Mon
day, occurred off Esbjerg. within sight
of the Danish coast, according to eye
witnesses. These accounts indicate that
not one. but two Zeppelins were de-
stroyed on that day, inasmuch as the
explosion of an airship off T~erschelling
was reported from Holland at a point
too distant to owe the sarne case. The
loss of the second airship is attributed
to lightning.
The L-22 was seen off Esbjerg not
far from shore and was plainly visible.
Its opponents could not be seen, but
their presence was made known by the
sound Of guns. Eye witnesses saw the
airship dart upward after the first
round OF shots. Then they. heard a sec
ond salvo. The Zeppelin endeayored to
