American troops. under General
Pershing, will soon be on the firing

that nothing is lacking, in equipment
and material, to make them efficient
fighting men. The American Red
Cross must see that nothing is lacking
to keep them healthy, happy and eff
ficient soldiers. For this the Red
Cross must have: Cd Hospital and
medical equipment to supplement that
of the army medical department
equal to any emergency. Equipment
to care for 100000 men ought to be
provided at once. CD Recreation and
rest facilities behind the firing line.
Americans on leave, unlike the Brit

Govt Control Only Solution for
Tragical Combine.
Head of U. $. GrOcerS Blames
Professional Spectators.
40 MILLION men IN WAR
Are Destroying Faster Than
World Can Produce.
Urges Everyone Write Con-
gressmen to Rush Lever Bill.

Chicago. June 21.-"Food hoard
ers'' and professional spectators
are mainly responsible for the present
high cost OF living.
Theodore Whitmarsh, president OF
the National Wholesale Grocers' asso-
citation, in convention here. made this
Statement to the United Press today.
''Of course" said Whitmarsh, the
fundamental r~ason for abnormal
. ces is the war, which has caused
e unprecedented economic revolution
that is. the world is destroying more
than il can produce"
s Forty million men, according to
Accurate statistics, are engaged in the
industry' of destruction, instead or
their natural field of endeavor-pro-
alction-and the world supply Of food
products and commodities of every
description is becoming more limited
each day.
Must Have Govt Control.
The most eXpedient remedy, and
perhaps the quickest, is the regula-
ton of production, distribution and
consumption by government control.
The Lever food bill. which is now
before congress. embodies all the nee
essary means for the government to
control the supply of foOdstuffs and
possibly harmonic the demand Of our
allied nations.
4 Natural causes OF the food Sltua =
ton are easily recognizable. The
Weather of the past two growing sea-
sons has been very unfavorable to
crops and resulted in a world grain
shortage Labor being diverted also
helped TO create this crop condition
But other reasons, not natural, helped
20 aggravate he situation, which now
is bordering on an actual food crisis,
and. if action is not imm ediately taxi
en- by the government, will result in
famine next winter and spring, as
well as precluding all possibilities T
an early victory over Prussia nism.
Small Buyer Hoarding, Too.
Z "These unnatural cases are profess
sional spectators and food hoarders.
The majority of people, especially the
middle classes have become alarm I'd
and are boarding food. The specd-
lator has taken advantage of the pc
euliar situation and contributed his
Artificial demand to the frenzied de-
nnand of the small buyer.
THE Lever bill will stop profess
sional speculation and food boarding
and in order to adjust harmony of dis
tribution It is absolutely essential that
the administration take action at once.
THE fate of this nation rests upon
congress in passing the Lever bill. l
urge everyone to write to their con-
gresham and advise him to vote in
favor of it."

WOULD CLOSE DRYDALE
Atty. Gen. Brewster in Effort to Bar
Leavenworth Thirst Quencher.

Further efforts to close up the Mis-
souri, saloon village, Drydale, across
the river from Leavenw nth, have
been made by Attorney General S. NJ.
Brewster. He has written to Con-
gresham D. r. Anthony, Jr., and Sem
ator Charles Curtis asking them to get
the cooperation of the Kansas dele
cation in using it's influence with Pres
ident Wilson to obtain an order from
him to close the village.
In his letter Brewster describes
Drydale as a village built up entirely
of liquor traffic. The principal bust
ness of retail and wholesale liquor
houses, Brewster declares, is to supply
residents of Leavenworth and Kansas.
He claims the town is near enough to
Fort Leavenworth, a military post, to
justify the president in closing the
saloons and putting Drydale off the
map. Brewster also declares that
bawdy houses are being erected at
Drydale at the present time
