SAYS FAMINE
THREATENS PEOPLE OF WORLD

Washington State College, Pullman.
while there is greater activity in
food production throughout the state
than ever before, it is perfectly clear
that the bulk of our populace even
yet has failed to comprehend the ser
iousness of the food problem con
fronting the world today" says Direc-
tor w. S. Thornber, of the State Col
lege extension department. I'VE could
comprehend a famine in China or In
dia, because we are used to hearing
OF famine and pestilence in those
countries; but we are not used to
hearing OF famine threatening hui
mainly in every quarter of the earth
it is a big thought
What makes it particularly hard
to comprehend is that We now are liv-
ing in the midst of apparent plenty
We're we the unintelligent. unthinkinl
mortals that comprise the native pop
ulation of many parts of India and
China which repeatedly have been
swept by famine and pestilence, we
would approach the deadline between
plenty and starvation in utter ignor-
ance and lack of alarm. We would
not perceive the thing until it was
upon US and our children and our
selves were hungry.
World Shortage Predicted.
with the enlightened races of the
earth, it is different When the great
war broke out, shrewd, well informed
men all over the world at once per
ceived that il war OF such terrific
deadliness to life and productive in
dustry continued long enough, there
would be a world shortage OF food.
The war has continued long
enough, almost, to bring this food
shortage upon the whole earth. Now,
t is only a few months away. All
over the earth the pounds of flour,
meat, potatoes, and all other food
needed to sustain human life on the
earth, have been estimated. The food
reducing capacity of war-stricken
ands with only women, boys and old
,aen to work. and many of them
:rawn into munition manufacture and
,ther branches of war service, has
been taken into account. We have,
hen. merely a problem in arithmetic:
cunt the people of the earth and di-
tide the food of the earth by the PEG
de. The world is short of food. There
s only few months supply for each

Thus We see, IN the midst Of plen'
". the approach of a world shortage
food. Every time a German sub
marine sends a vessel loaded with
food to the bottom of the sea, the peo-
pie of the earth are by that iniquitous
act moved a little closer to the dead
line in the worlds food, across which

would eat.

Recruiting Going Forward.

Regarding recruiting, II has been dis
covered that greater progress has
been made in getting men to volunta-
rily join the colorS than newspapers
generally concede. Military men who
have studied the problem state that as
many as can be expected are coming
forward. Too much emphasis cannot
be laid upon this activity at the pres.
ent time, II Is said, however. REPORTS
. from some states are meager and in
some instances diSCouraging. Some Of
the governors have been very active in
bringing home to young men the rea-
sons why they should respond to the
call Of the country and showing them.
by proclamahonS, by speeches and pic
lures, the necessity for responding to
call to arms.
The full quota for the expanded reg.
ular army has not been reached, and
many more recruits can be taken
Therefore II IS urged that all local
councils of defense concentrate effort,
upon this work. The frSt.line men of
the regular army, the navy and Na.
tionol Guard should be volunteers, II
IS said. Therefore the comparatively
few thousands still needed as com.
