As America gets more and more

puts on mourning for sons who have

federation of German sympathizers in

THE surplus wheat crop Of
Australia and India is report
ed to be sufficient to supply
all of Europe. But there are
not enough ships to get it
across the seas so far away in
the time it is needed, and for
that reason America, because
of its relative proximity to
Europe, has been assigned
the task of supplying the
entente allies with wheat.
Our surplus and that of Cana
da from this years crop are
not sufficient, hence the effort
of the food administration to
create an additional surplus
by appealing to the people to
eat less wheat bread and to
substitute corn. 1t is urged
that the winning of the wal
depends largely upon Ameri-
ca keeping the allies supplied
with wheat.
