Within flfty years the place WINS only
Z small fishing village and was known

was received in 1910 by reason of its
having been the first spot In Ireland
upon which Queen Victoria set foot.
II still serves as the port Of the city Of
Cork. from which 1t IL twelve miles dis

Of entry Of the river Lee into the bay.
The harbor Of Queenstown is splen-

AMERICANS MUST
FEED FRENCH ARMY

Washington, Oct. 25.-France faces
very serious food shortage in the
near future unless America comes to
the rescue with shiploads Of wheat i'm
mediately, French officials declared
here today.
The American governments, the
Food Administration points out. did
its share in answering this call by
requisitioning. October 18th. all Amer
lean steamships of $500 tons or over.
The Food Administration feels 1t Is
now up to the 22,000,000 housewives
Of America to fill some Of these ships
with wheat by using q pound less
wheat flour per week for every mem
Der of their households.
THE situation in France Is worse
than had been thought" said a Food
Administration official today. I'VE
should not walt for Food Pledge
Week, Oct. 20 to Nov. to begin this
saving. We should begin now.
France certainly needs wheat. at
once. We hundred million Americans
must make up from our short supply
the wheat shortage Of France and our
other Allies. There is a call for every
one OF us to do his utmost.
Wheat, however, is only part Of
the problem. It is equally vital that
we conserve also meat, fats and
sugar. II each Of us will eat >an
ounce less meat. a quarter ounce less
fat and an ounce less sugar a day,
our Allies won't go hungry.
1--WE must make up this shortage.
No other country can do It,"
The situation in France today, &C.
ccrding to figures given out at the Of.
flee of French High Commissioner
Henri Tardieu, is this:
Normally, France produces 10000
900 hundredweight Of wheat. This
year the production will not be more
than $4,000, 900 hundredweight. This
shrinkage was caused by the transfer
of 12,00O,0O men and women into
military and industrial war work
Fighting back the Germans, France
has had little time for growing crops
"As for the shipping, 1t has gone
the same way. At the beginning OF
the war France had 100000 tons Of
merchant bottoms. Five hundred
thousand tons Of that has been sunk
by submarines. It has not been re
placed, and there Is no ship-building
under way in France today because
ali the shipyards have for three years
been turned into munitions factories.'
