Outcome of War, Agricul-
tural Minister Says, May
Hang on Food Supply.
PLEASED WITH
AMERICAN WORK
Fully One-third of Eng
lands Farm Labor Taken
for War Work, He Says.

London. June 26.-"Discontent of
the stomach is more to be feared than
discomfort Of the brain-that is why
we value the cooperation of Ameri-
can farmers"
This statement was made by r. E.
Prothero, minister of agriculture. to
the Associated Press today.
1.-The outcome of the war;" said Mr..
Prothero. may ultimately hang on
the question of food supplies. and the
American farmer is allotted the essen
tial part to play in the great struggle
for freedom"
This declaration, with a note Of
welcome to agriculturists across the
sea. who "are determined to use ev-
cry ounce of their strength to win the
war on the plow lands Of the United
States." was the keynote of the min
ister's message to the American
farmer. Discussing the moral and ma
terial efforts on agriculture by the
entrance of the United States into the
war, Mr.. Prothero continued:
THE president in his address April
Is put to the forefront an appeal to
the farmers. He bids them to carry
on to their plow lands the same spirit
that animates their brother allies in
trenches, on the sea and In munitions
factories. From the grim spectacle

so thick with corn they shall sing.
Yet the man who drives plow is
helping, as is the man who shoulders
a rife.
"The need of food for man and
beast is great whether II peace is won
or war prolonged"
Replying to a question as to what
the United Kingdom is doing in the
way cf food production, Mr.. Prothero
said that fully one-third of labor
usually employed on land has been
taken for war work. "Short-handed
harrassed by a hundred new difficult
ties. the farmers are doggedly strug-
Cling to increase grain production by

ROOT AMAZED
AT CONDITION
OF RUSSIANS
Difficulties Overcome Far
Greater Than
Supposed.
STILL DANGER OF
A GREAT FAILURE
Malign Influence at Work
Which Would Destroy
All Now Done.

Moscow, June 26.-In the first "a
hours OF his stay in Moscow, Elihu
Root. head Of the American mission,
addressed six important orgahiza-
ttons. representing every kind of in
dustrial and political belief. In each
liveliest interest and enthusiasm, and
his audiences listened eagerly to Mr..
Roots account of the way in which
America Is mobilizing all her re-
sources.
In a speech before the military and
industrial committee today, Mr.. Root
said:
"a study of the conditions since
our arrival reveals that the difficult
ties under which you have labored
are far greater than we supposed.
That increases our admiration for the
courage. persistency and public spirit
with which you have carried on your
great work in the last two years.
Il observe with some distress that
there are influences operating in an
attempt to hinder your future efforts.
or course. if the revolution were now
to proceed to the destruction Of all in
dustrial enterprises, that must end
your work. There are plainly malign
influences which desire to accomplish
that result. have. however, the
greatest confidence in the sincerity Of
purpose and the strong determination
of the provincial government at Petro-
grad to counteract those influences
and maintain the industrial system of
the country"
Won Over the Delegates.
At meeting held in the palace of
the governor general. there were as
and municipal unions, the zemstvo
industrial committee and the local
council of the workmen's and soldiers
deputies.
The meeting was in the nature of a
test to determine whether the COM
mission was to have the real sympathy
of the socialist element in the coun-
try.
It is said no foreigners ever before
succeeded in getting the attention and
interest of this association of commit
tees representing the working masses
Of Moscow. But as Mr.. Root began
to speak, antagonism and indifference
yielded to rapt attention. and he was
! warmly applauded at the conclusion.
Marvel Mt Self Control.
I'VE have seen nothing since we
came to Russia" said Mr.. Root, that
gives cause for criticism. We marvel
at the self control, the kindliness of
spirit and the sound. common sense
that Russians display. We feel that
the work you are doing in the COM
mittees Is on the right path toward
an actual permanent democracy.
'The government of Germany. the
German social system. even German
socialism, are all militaristic in their
essential nature. They shall not gain
control Of free America, and if we can
help you to prevent their gaining
control of free Russia we shall be
happy in feeling that we have assisted
in the perpetuation of the ideals of
our fathers who fought and sacrificed
to make us free"
