Christian Scientists Not Hoardlng
Food.
Editor Vireinian:
Sir.-In the installment OF Ger
many, the Next Republic" by Carl
w. Alderman. which appeared in The
NtrgInian of November 20, there IS
statement to the effect that the
Christian Scientists are boarding food.
While Mr.. Alderman refers only to
what 1t may have been found wise to
do In Germany, there is the posi-
biiity OF creating the impression that
the entire Christian Science movement
is boarding food, which would be IN
true and unjust in the extreme.
Early in October of this year. TWEEN
ty-fve mem bers of the Christian
Science residing east OF the Missis-
sippi river met with Mr. Hoover In
Washington by his invitation, and
heard from him and others of the
necessity for protecting and wisely
administering the food resources OF
the country. Resolutions were adopt
ed pledging assistance In every con-
sistent way in this important work
In the Christian Science Sentinel
OF y October 90, 1917, the Christian
Science board of directors published
an open letter from Mr. Hoover to
the Christian Science churches ask
ing their support and corporation in
the governments plan for food con-
eervation. Commenting on this let
ter, the directors said:

AMERICAN STEEL
AND WORLD WAR

Washington, u. c., Nov. o. In
communication to the National Geo
graphic society William Joseph Sho-l
walter tells the graphic story of steel.
tAtfHstfyAe gfeatest-Hsset- and waF,s
chef weapon. par Of the communi-
cation is issued by the society as the
following war geography bulletin:
Would YOU know the size of the
American steel industry? Then reflect
that even before the great world war
broke out, even in the slack and un-
certain days OF 1914. it employed
more people than live In Nevada, Ari-
2ona. New Mexico and Wyoming to-
gether--four states whose aggregate
area is more than twice that OF al
Germany. The capital employed is
greater than the national wealth of
Switzerland. The republic of Portu-
gal---land, improvements. industrials,
everything--is not worth as much by
billion dollars as Americas steel
products were in the single year of
1914, a year in which a ton OF pig iron
sold for less than oue-third present
quotations and a ton of steel like
wise.
Think OF an ore train so long that
it would take a fortnight to pass a
given point, running at full freight
train speed and never stopping Think
of ore ships moving In column forma-
ton and stretching from Detroit,
Mich, to Erie, Pa Think of a row of
blast furnaces reaching from New
York city to Chester Pa: OF a column
of rolling mills and pudding furnaces
reaching from New York to Indiana
polls Think of a stream of ten tons
of. liquid iron flowing out as molten
pig metal every second of the yeart
Then you will begin TO get a pic
ture OF the vastuess OF the steel In
dustry. II is steel, steel, steel, every
where and always--steel for guns
steel for shells steels for ships. with
out American steel the German sub
marine would conquer the oceans the
German war machine would starve
1ur- allies -oYerrun France and work
its own good pleasure upon all the
earth But with American steel that
can never be done. The road 10 vic
tory for autocracy has been closed by
the unyielding gate which American
industry has put across its path"

PRICES GET SETBACK
AS u. S. GETS BUSY

Chicago. Oct. 13-Greatly enlarged
estimates of the 1917 yield of corn, to-
gether with reports Of government
pressure to establish a ratio of 81 a
bushel for corn and $40 hundred
weight for hogs have led during this
week to some big setbacks in prices on
the exchange here. Among the net
losses were: corn 5h cents to Shc, oats
NC to &c, pork s2.75 to S4.20; Lard,
s1.55 to $3.50: ribs. 25c to $2.12.
Government crop figures on corn sur
prised the trade by placing the total
production this season 36.o60.c00 bush
els in excess Of what private experts
had indicated. The bearish effect Of the
official reckoning proved mild, however
compared with results which followed
from attention to possibilities to gov
ernment prices to curtail corn prices
and cotton seed ellis and other food
products. Comparative steadiness was
finally restored that new regulations
were not designed to interfere with
operations exchanges.
Liberty buying for export acted as
substantial prop for oats.
F1urried unloading OF provisions
went day after day until the selling ap-
peared at least temporarily to have
worn itself out. The decentralization
was due chiefly to the fact that $40
hogs would imply cut of nearly 50
per cent in recent value OF packing
house products.
