New Jersey became great potato re-

THREE ESSENTIALS TO VICTORY
What is Required of America to Insure
Victory for Allied Cause.

American resources required to win
the allied cause may be divided into
three parts: money, men and food The
fact that the Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan has been oversubscribed shows
concluslvely that the first essential is
forthcoming. The government an
nouncement that there are now over
100000 American soldiers in the al
lied armies and another million in
training at home is convincing proof
that America is furnishing sufficient
man-poWer to ensure victory at arms
Now comes the third and in some
ways the most important of the three
factors upon which victory or defeat
hinges. That is food. 1t is still mat.
ter of deep anxiety on the part of the
food administration officials who rea
he that unless sufficient food is pro.
vlded by America to take care of the
home folks and the allies and theil
armies, there is very real possibility
| of disaster. Men and money, ships and
airplanes, guns and ammunition-all
are useless without sufficient supply
of food
Here is the Important fact that must
be driven deep into the mind of every
person: strict economy must be main
| tanned in all foods i'll order to provide
| the reserve supplies that are required
to meet the enormously increasing de
mands upon America. Every ounce OF
food wasted is a blow at the great
cause of world freedom from oppres.
sion and tyranny.

what 1T all meant, cried too and kissed
the hands of the officers and men.
What food they had on hand the
French turned over to the Americans
the villagers insisting upon the Ameri-
cans, taking all they wanted of what
they had. So in the streets and in the
houses, some of them occupied only
few hours previously by German of
icers and men, the Americans made
themselves at home, for short breath
ing spell, and the French population
Of the village endeavored to satisfy
the appetites of their deliverers.
From the time the Germans reached
Thiaucourt in September, 1914, until a
few days after the village had been re.
taken by American troops the civil
ians were entirely without fresh meat
Of any kind excepting now and then
chicken or a rabbit which were
raised in cellars without the knowledge
of the Germans. All the cattle in the
region of Thiaucourt were taken by the
Germans, but two cows being left to
furnish milk for the babies.
Until the United States entered the
war food was sent to Thiaueourt by
way of the Netherlands by the Ameri.
can relief committee and later by g
Spanish relief committee. This con
sisted principally of bacon, flour, sugar
rice, beans, peas and some cocoa. Tive
boxes of condensed milk were received
in Thlaucourt each month and now anC
then a shipment of salt meat Twice
several boxes of American shoes ar
rived for the inhabitants and at Ions

law against all hoarders of flour and
all ,penny-patriots who persist in ex-
ceeding flour allotments to the detri-
ment of the government. =
