for the Allies.

Washington.--Am will win the
war, Herbert Hoover declared In a
statement Saturday, because Of it's SUI
perior resources and through the abll-
ity of the American people to organize.
The success, already evident, of the
nations voluntary food conservation
effort, Mr.. Hoover said, points to a
FINAL victory.
Germany accomplished less in THIS
direction in twelve months" said MIR.
Hoover, than our people have in four.
The only need of legislation and au-
thority IL to curb those who would
profit by this voluntary movement"
More than two million women, MIR.
Hoover announced, have enrolled as
members of the food administration
and pledged themselves to follow its
directions as to saving FOOD within the
household. Within sixty Gays ne said,
many more millions viii have become
members.
Success Question Of Resources.
"No one can rightly be gloomy over
the outcome for the American people
in this war" said Mr.. Hoover Sue
cess In this war Is a question of re-
sources and the will and ability of the
people to organize themselves to use
them rightly and to endure. Many
thinking Americans and the whole
world has been watching anXiously the
last four months in the fear that dem
noratto A -, apia, nnuld mot nrpaniZn tn
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not
be done
Contrary proof is Immediately at
our door and our people have already
their ability to mobilize,
organize, endure and prepare voluntar-
lily and efficiently in many directions
and upon mere word of inspiration,
aside from the remarkable assemblage
of our army and finances.
"We entered the war four months
ago and it was announced by the pres
ident that one of the great problems
of the war would be food. There has
been no consequential national or To-
cal legislation, yet the greatest spon-
taneous volunteer effort ever made in
history has not only provided us with
a larger stock of food supply as re-
suit of patriotic planting in every
quarter, but waste is being eliminated
out of every crack and Granny of our
homes and of our industries, and this
is being done without compulsion of
the law, but by spontaneous effort and
of the people.
"Our present prospects indicate an
of production of cereals by
S50000,000 bushels. Literally millions
If new gardens have been planted or
extended everywhere. We have the
argest supply of vegetables ever in
,ur history"

On Will TRAINING.

The magazines advertise many books
on will training. Each of them prom
ises to heal the sick self, to strengthen
the feeble knees, to turn the poor in
heart into dominating personalities, to
make live wires out of hard bound
brains. Pleasant is the picture, very
pleasant and alluring, which these adj
yertisements paint of the future. Your
inhibitions shall be cast out of you,
they shall perhaps enter into your
Gadarene competitors, who shall be
driven violently down steep place
into the sea, leaving your once faint
heart free to win fair wages. Unless,
indeed, your competitors happen to
better their wills by buying and read
ing the same books, in which case the
future looks less clear.-The New Re
