The food pledge canvassers today
begin their second days work to
obtain the signature of every house
wife in Washington to a pledge for
the conservation of food.
Only a few scattered reports Of
the first days results were made
to Clarence r. Wilson, Federal food
administrator for the District, last
night and no figures were avail
able. Officials believe, however,
that their first estimate that the
canvass would be completed in two
days might have to be extended and
the work probably will be finished
Thursday or Friday. However long
IL takes to complete II, a full can
vass will be made.
A few of the subdistTicts into
which the city has been divided
proved after the first day to have
a surplus of women volunteers,
while others had not enough and a
redistribution of workers will be
begun today. Additional volunteer
workers still are wanted for the
work, Mr.. Wilson declared, and
every applicant will be assigned to
territory.
Mr.. Wilson delivered two adj
dresses in the interests of food con-
servation last night. Early in the
evening he addressed a meeting at
The Wilson Normal School and later
at meeting OF the Bethel Literary
and Historial Association. at the
Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Church, on

The necessity for the solution of

to by diplomat here today as

Italian situations.
Officials here were encouraged
last night at the further evidences
