FALSE MESSAGE EXPOSED BY
 GUNNISON

A telegram received Saturday by F .J. Vandewall, president of the SkaEway Food Saving organization, from Royal A. Gunnison, federal food administrator for Alaska, pro tests against 8 false and malicious report sent out from Chicago on December to the effect that fool saving is unnecessary. The cable follows:
 Juneau, Alaska, December s, IT. F. J. Vandewal,l
 Skagway, Alaska.
 Herbert Hoover, National Food Administration, advises Decmeber sixth of unwarranted and malicious reports in Chicago by parties in terested in exploiting sale of meat and protesting against wheatless and meatless days as unnecessary sacrifice by American people. The Administrator characterizes all such utterances as foolish and un- patriotic He says that owing to the critical condition of the world 8 food today opposition to government conservation measures is comparable to opposition to the draft, because failure in saving food means direct and immediate loss of life aside from serious interference with our war measures in feeding our allies. That results from meatless days have tor the first time created suf- ficlent visible supply of meat to al- low us to partially com ply with quantities request ed by the allies for ship inert this month and urges continu- cd devotion to food conservation, Further, that notwithstanding the expo-Lation of the whole of the sur plus nineteen seventeen wheat crop above normal demand of our own people, it is necessary to restrict the export of wheat so as to retain in the United States sufficient sup ply to carry our own people until next harvest, and that even with all the conservation made We are still unable to load over four hun dred thousand tons of foodstuffs urgently required by the allies this l mOGth.

Sent to the Philippines.
A flotilla of destroyers was dispatch
ed from the Atlantic coast to the Phil
ippines via San Juan, the Azores. the
Mediterranean, the Suez canal, Indian
Ocean, and the West Indies. II so
happened that on one OF these destroy
ers the commanding officer was a man
weighing go pounds. His two assist
ants, both then ensigns, each weighed
well over 200 pounds. Out OF a half
dozen chief petty officers three OF
them were heavyweights, and in the
rest of the crew were two others OF
the same avoirdupoIs.
Upon arrival in the Philippines the
weather was hot and sultry, the sun
keeping the steel decks OF the vessel
warm, adding another torment to the
lot of these God-fearing men. The yes
sells original allowance list had in
cluded one electric fan. so the com
handing officer submitted a reQuisi-
ton requesting that a fan be furnish
ed for the wsrdroom and one in each
compartment in which the crew were
CHARTERED, a total OF FIVE fans.
The request in due time reached
Washington and some three months
later was returned dIsapproved. as
the bureau did not wish to add any
unnecessary weight to the vessel for
fear OF reducing its speed. Nothing
daunted, the commanding officer re-
turned the requisition with a state
ment thereon OF the weights OF him
self, his two commissioned assistants
and other members OF the crew and re-
quested that one of these heavy
weights be transferred and that a
man weighing about $50 pounds be
sent in his place. The fans were
forthcoming and nobody was transfer
red. Since that time electric fans are
one OF the few comforts found on
destroyers.-New York Herald.
