There is no national bread cards" In France as there is Sugar card", but in some parts of the country if has been necessary to restrict the use of bread by local regulations. I have in mind several letters from my friends among the peasants Of Brittany, toll ing of the privations they were eDdur- ing because their bread was cut down so much. Remember, that bread is the chief article of diet among those people.
 France Suffers in Silence.
 Do not think they complained. There is no finer souled, stronger or greater people in the world than tho French peasants. They are heroes among nation of heroes. No trial that justice and right could demand could wiring a complaint from Joseph inc Herve, one of the grandest women among a grand race. That simple peasant woman can neither read nor write, but without word of bitter ness she gave her husband to her country, and she is schooling her five sons and raising them for her conntry. The oldest goes 10 the army with tho next class that is called out. When little Chariot, next to the youngest of her boys, writes for her and tells what they are enduring, there is no com plaint, no bitterness It is q simple statement of facts in plain and home ly language, the story of peasant cottage told to the child she nursed and loved.

difficult thing to do, for one comes i'm mediately into contact with so many counter currents of opinion. There is no question in the mind of anyone conversant with the facts that it is not only with Germany, but with the Allies, as well, that the food situa- tion is serious and needs prompt and effective treatment. But in the en- deavor to deal with this question one finds constantly in the official mind an attempt to reconcile two irrecon- cilable positions.
 Government Alone Cannot Win War.
 On the one hand, there is the open and full recognition of the serious ness of the situation, of the demand for prompt, full and eff1cacious co-ope- ration and coordination of effort among all the nations warning against Germany in order that each may be able to sustain it's striking power at the point of highest efficiency This opinion recognizes that governments alone cannot win the war It must be a war of the Allied peoples against Germany. And this opinion sees the necessity of laying the situation fully and fairly before the people so that they will voluntarily adopt the con servation methods necessary to vic tory.
 On the other hand, confused in the same minds with this opinion there Is an idea that if the people are told too much they will become frightened and will weaken. This is bald statement, very plainly put, but that is what it boils down to. The states men and politicians have a peculiar idea that they are the only men who are far-sighted enough and strong enough to face the whole truth and go on fighting So they try at the some time to arouse the people and to reassure them.
 We find fine example of this in the submarine. On the one side we are told that our efforts to overcome the submarine must be redoubled,

It is estimated that there will be a deficit Of approximately 5,000,00 tons of wheat in France over the period from September 1. 1917, to September l, 1918.
 The normal annual consumption of wheat in France is from 9,290,0O0 tons to 9,400000 tons. France has always been an importer of wheat, her aver age production for several years be- fore the war being 9,000,000 tons, or slightly less than the consumption. Since the beginning of the war her production has fallen off radically In 1914 it was 7,700,000 tons. in 1915, G. 065,000 tons and in 1916, 5,S40,000 tons, while for this year the crop is estimated at 100000 tons, with pos sibility of rising to 4,500,000 tons, leaving for the period from Septem- Der, 1917, to September, 1918, de- felt of nearly 5000,OOO tons. which must be made up by imports. Wheat Must Come From America. Where can those imports come from except from America? Italy by req son of her position in the Mediter- raean takes the first toll from the wheat of the Far East, While England, of whom the Far Eastern wheat pro ducing countries are colonies, takes the remainder. France can get lit tie from South Africa. Argentina has stopped the exportation of wheat This country is the only resource left to France.
 have spoken of the scarcity of flour, resulting frcm the shortage in wheat. Let us try to see what this means to France. In the first place, it must be realized that there bread is the staple article of food It is the base of all meals, especially among the working population Breakfast consists of coffee or chocolate and bread. Luncheon is bread, soup, cof- fee and often, though not always, some meat or fish and vegetable. The big dish is bread. Bread is again he base of dinner or supper, however the meal may be called. Bread and cheese will make an entire meal for a French peasant, with glass of wine to wash it down

me remark in passing that one learns a great deal when keeping house, of which one gets no inkling, when liv- ing in hotel and eating in restau- rants. One can always go to restau- rant and order a meal and get it. have heard many visiting Americans, who lived in France in that way, pooh
 ea that there WAS q food shortage in the country. If those same persons had had to search the markets before. they had their meals, they would have gained a very differ ent idea of the food situation.
 Sugar offers an excellent concrete example In restaurant one is fairly certain of sugar for ones coffee. Three Jumps to a person is the rule Formerly, the sugar was put on the table in a bowl and one helped ones self Now, the ration is served to each person separately. Still, one is fairly sure of ones sugar in a rest aurant.
 But if one is keeping house, one finds that one must have Sugar card", permitting him to buy stipu- lated amount of sugar in a month. The allowance is 1 1-2 pounds of sugar a month, if three meals day are taken at home, one pound if two meals are taken at home and one-half pound if only one meal is taken at home. This means for the person who takes three meals a day at home IS pounds of sugar year The an nual sugar consumption per person in America is 85 pounds.
 One would not be likely to find this out. if one were living in restaurants in France, but one finds it out very soon if one is keeping house.
 It is soon learned. also that the "su- gar card does not mean that one can demand pound and a half of sugar 3 month, but only that one is per aFitted to buy that much, provided q deealer can be found who has it to sell. A dealer who has sugar will not aail if to anyone sho comes in. He sells only to his own regular custom CTS.
 We paid lasl v,fer in Paris Ii cents a piece for egEs and $2 pound for butter and thefr was frequently neither butter nor eess nor milk to be had Private fam,liss were allowed to buy one-eighth sf ! pound of fiour at 9 time. The gr2 could not seI' hour, only the basss The flour mills could not choose their own customers, nor could the bakess and restaurants choose the mills tnsv would buy from. Lists were made out, tealling each miller to whom ne could sell. This was in order that one section should not be able to eaf ID the stock Of four belonging to another section, or one baker deprive the customers of another, when all were short. Wheat Situation in France.
 Let me givs you tfie official figures on the wheat situation in France, so that there can be no question.
The Pulaskian., 1917-10-26

while on the other side we are told the submarine is a failure and it is to laugh at the German threats. In re- gard to food we are told that the AL lies must guard their every resource, and immediately on top of that we are told they have reserve stocks for the next three years. We are told that if is yitally necessary for America to put a great army in the field at once and in the same breath we hear that the Allied preponderance in man pow CT over Germany is increasing every day.
 Whole Truth Must Be Known.
 How can one expect to arouse a nation to war with such stream of contradictory statements? My own opinion is that the peoples of all the Allied nations are strong enough to know the whole truth and that know ing it viii only make them more de- termined and fight harder, while at the same time their collective action will be much more intelligent I do
 
 to win this war. I believe that only an aroused nation will be victorious. And l believe that the way to arouse the nation is to lay every shred of face fully and completely before the people.
 In France, however, one meets with third phase of official opinion that further complicates the situation France has borne the brunt Of the lighting on the side of the Allies for three years. Her resources in men and material have been strained to the uttermost, and everyone realizes that France cannot go on bearing the brunt of the fighting for another three years. Yet, French statesmen are so afraid of the possible effect at the time of the peace conference of an admission that France needs as sistance now that immediately the idea is suggested there comes an Of. ficial denial in one form or another. French statesmen, perhaps with req son, are obsessed with the idea that France will get an extremely short end of the stick at the peace confer ence, if there is a suspicion that she does not go into them stronger thar she went into the war and able to fight on for another million years. But how is she going to get anything at the peace conferences if the Allieg are not the victors? And how are the Allies to be the yictors, unless the people of America know the full truth about the task imposed on them?
 This complicated situation makes if extremely difficult, however, to tell the truth about food conditions in the face of the imminent probabilities of there by injuring susceptible official feel ings.

* < $ < < # # % a
 This is the first of a series of articles by Fred B. Pitney, a not ed foreign correspondent, on the Food Situation in France. MT. Pitney not only had at his dispo- sition the official figures of the < French Government on the food supply of France, but he has lived in France during the war and speaks from personal experience and intimate first hand knowledge of the conditions there. States men and politicians have had the mistaken belief that they are the ' only ones wise enough and strong hearted enough to face the entire truth. Consequently when the na- : tion is hard-pressed and it's man. power is low and food supplies " nearing low ebb, they wish to keep this information from the ' people and endeavor to reassure them with false hopes. Politicians have also officially denied reports " of meagre resources in order to " give France greater prestige in peace councils. This, the writer shows, is dangerous policy since , : it results in conflicting reports and weakens confidence of the people in their government &&. < a* 2
