GERARD POINTS TO
CERMANY'S FOOD
SOLDIERS AS LESSON
In WINNING THE WAR

Washington, Aug. 20.--"Imp ortance
Of food conservation and the value OF
the work of the soldiers of the soil in
winning the world war has never been
more startlingly stated than by former
Ambassador Gerard in My Four Years
In Germany, in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger" said Charles I.athrop
Pack. president Of the national emery
Here Is what he says andswell may
the people of this country heed the
picture he draws OF the mighty power
CT the foe who realizes the value ot
food:
There Is far greater danger Of
the starvation of our allies than Of the
starvation of the Germans. Every
availa BILE inch of ground In Germany
is cultivated and cultivated by the aid
of old men, the boys and women and
the 100000 prisoners Of war The
arabic lands of Northern France and
of Rumania are being cultivated by
the German army with an efficiency
never before known in these countries.
and most OF that food will be added
to the food supplies of Germany.
Certainly the people suffer. but still
more certainly this war will not he
ended by the starvation OF Germany
THAT picture of what is being done
by the enemy To feed his soldier

worth needing, Will the people real

months for the planting of food gar

nation wide. We are offering $4,000
in prizes for the best canned vege-
tables grown in war gardens. We are
distributing the second million of the
canning and drying manuals which
we are sending free any where in the
nation.
I'VE are living In a land OF plenty.
but what of the future with the pic
ture Mr.. Garard paints for us? He
says that starvation of Germany will
not end the war, Then In the name
of democracy for whose world safety
we are fghting. | urge the conserva-
ton of food on a scale never before
known In this country. In other
words we must fight this war by pro-
viding enough food for ourselves and
for our allies.
Remember this. When the hero of
the air comes down from his battle
above the clouds he must eat; after
the gunner's trained eye has left a
trail of boiling oil over the stricken
submarine he must eat, after your
husband or your son goes over the
top behind the Stars and Stripes the
mess wagon must come along or the
next trench will be lost.
But what If there be no mess
wagon? This is a war of food. as
Mr.. Gerard we'll points out. What
are you going to do about it? The ma
tional emergency food garden COM
mission is ready to help you. Send
for it's food conservation data which
is free, organize a canning club and
plan to exhibit at the war garden fairs
that will be held throughout the coun-
try, become soldier of the soil. and
