Washington, Oct.-France faces very
serious food shortage in the near future

The American government, the Food
Administration points out, did its share
in answering this call by requisitioning,
October 18th all American steamships of
$500 tons or over. The Food Admins
tration feels it is now up to the q, 100000
housewives of America to fill some of
these ships with wheat by using pound
less wheat flour per week for every MEM
Der Of their households.
THE situation in France is worse than
had been thought" said Food Admin
istaation official today I'VE should not
wait for Food Pledge Week, Oct. % to
Nov. to begin this saving. We should
begin now.
France certainly needs wheat at once.
We hundred million Americans must make
up from our short supply the wheat short

the Front.

The following is an account of the
departure of the ten members of
Congress for France which appeared
in the New York Journal of Oct. II:
Ten members of Congress, trav-
elling in an unofficial capacity, but
carrying special passports arranged
for by the State Department, are on
the way to Europe to visit the war
fronts and fraternize with the parli-
mentary representatives of the AL
lies.
In the party are Representative
Dale, Vermont; Taylor and Timber
lake, Colorado; Hicks, New York;
Johnson, Dill and Miller, of Wash
ington; Goodwin, Arkansas; Steph-
ems. Nebraska, and Parker, New
New Jersey; former Representative
Stout, Of Montana; Ross L. Hamil-
ton, Fremont, Neb., editor, and
others. Other Representatives are
expected to follow soon.
The visit is the development of the
recent cabled and personal invita-
tions of representative members of
the British and French Parliaments
for closer affiiation of the Parliamen-
tary bodies of the Allied Govern
ments through personal conferences
at the British, French and Italian
capitals.
while this is not an official COM
MISSION" Representative Dale wrote
his constituents in explanation of the
trip, cit is certified by the Secretary
of State and the Speaker of the
House as one that goes in the inter-
est of our country and the relation S
between the Government and the
governments of the allied nations"

LIBERTY BOND WORKER
A. j. Parent, Railway Mail Clerk,
Works With the Bankers and
Bondsmen of Portland In This
Bio Drive

A. J. Parent, railway mail clerk, is
a hustler" and puts the pep into
whatever he undertakes. He runs
on the mail train between here and
Portland, and has taken his time
while in Portland to aid in Sselling
Liberty Bonds.
Mr.. Parent is of French parentage
but he is all American in everything
else. His patriotism surpasses his
genialty, the latter being predom-
mating characteristic and enthuses
everyone he comes in contact with.
Mr.. Parent has brother who is
a Captain in the cavalry branch of
the regular army and other brothers
in the service. consequently the in
born promptings of patriotism are
touched by near ties Of those serving
their country on the battle front.
With all these promptings it is no
wonder he gives his spare time to do
his "bit" to serve his country in
these times of great need.
Mr.. Parent sold many thousand
dollars of bonds for the first Liberty
Loan and now is doing a greater
work on this second loan. The Port
land Evening Express of October %,
has group picture of those at the
head of the big drive in that city
and Mr.. Parent is in this group of
bankers and bondsmen who are plac-
ing that city's quota of the Second
Liberty Loan.

WOMAN HAS SHOWN ABILITY
Has Demonstrated Her Efficiency In
Professions and Trades Never
Opened to Her Before War.

WOman's sphere of usefulness will
be limitless. Since the war began
men have had to recognize her ability
to cope successfully with every trying
emergency. She has demonstrated her
efficiency in trades and professions
never before opened to her but now
to remain open for all time. Woman
abroad has won her right to laurels
with which the future promises to
crown her. British parliamentary
leaders have acknowledged that her
work in the war has won for her the
right to vote after the European con-
fiict.
Millions of women, nine millions in
Germany alone, are in the economic
ranks of the belligerent countries Of
Europe. American men are recogniz-
ing in advance the future standing Of
the no longer "weaker" sex and are
generously offering to help her to a
position at their side. 1t Is gratifying
to observe that one school of COM
merce has agreed to train a hundred
women for business free of charge,
and 1t is safe to assume that other
schools will follow this commendable
example. A tendency among COM
mercial organizations to grant equal
pay for equal work for women who
take the places Of men released for
military duty is noticeable thus early
in Americas participation in the war.
