Food Situation in
 Germany Still Bad

Amsterdam, September H.-Herr Won Waldow, president of the German food regulation board. speaking at reces- sion to the leaders of the German trades unions. said he regretted the lateness of the harvest and that there were no sharper means than were at present used to get more foodstuffs.
 The corn crop, Won Waldow said, was only l5 per cent better than that of last year and the potato crop probably was worse. The provisioning of industries, he added, would improve from October ]. A full bread ration certainly would be restored, but he declared he could not hold out any prospect for an increase in the potato ration.
 Meatless weeks must be continued, the speaker said, in order not to endanger the milk and fat supply. Unfortunately, he was unable to hold out any prospect in the food problem, but he was posi- tive that it would not get worse.
 Herr Lenien, a member of the Reichs- tag. who was one of the deputation, replying to Herr Won Waldow, sald that In view of the hopeless information he gave regarding the food supply, the workers could not continue to work the number of hours they now are workins'

CANADA's REPLY

Canada's response to the demand for men on
the western front is an order by which all unmar-
ried men and childless widowers between twenty
and twenty-three years Of age, inclusive, will be
sent into the army after only physical examina-
ton. No exemptions on account of occupation or
will be granted. The premier has stat
ed that,by the end of April $4,000 men will have
been sent abroad under the military service act.
and others are in camp; but this new measure the
government believes required to fill the contem-
plated quota of 100000 rapidly enough to keep
the divisions in France at full strength. If the
exigencies of the war and need for reinforcements
demand it, men of other ages will be called out
under the same emergency orders to disregard ex-
emption peals. 1t is stern step to take at the
very time the farming season opens, and in the
face of the use made of exemptions to placate local
sentiment hostile to CONSUMPTION, but it is evidence
of Canada's earnestness.-New York Post.

preference given farm labor in the Sc
lective service system; that, railroads
radiate from Bismarck to all parts Of
North and South Dakota and eastern
Montana, making it possible to supply
men from this point to any part Of the
great wheat belt on few hours no.
tice. -,.
An inspiration.
In conclusion l would urge upon
your honor the consideration Of this
fact: The rural population of North
Dakota consists very largely, of citi-
zens of foreign birth and descent.
They yield to no state in the union in
their loyalty, as you may note by
North Dakota's record in the First,
Second and Third Liberty Loan; in
the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A., Knights of
Columbus War Camps, Salvation Army
and other drives. To them great
cantonment, where they could visit
their boys occasionally during the
course of training; where they could
see an American soldier in the making
and learn for themselves the vast diff
ference which exists between the mil
itary establishment of the American
ISpuUllC duu CuC llll1tdl1SAI I'LL WAICA
many of them were familiar in the
monarchies from which they have
sprung, would be wonderful inspira-
ton, and a most important factor in
still further cementing their. loyalty
to this their adopted country. ~
Producing as it does, so large a per.
centage of all the wheat that comes
from American farms, North Dakota
is today one of the vital states in the
union. The North Dakota Council of
Defense sincerely belieces that such
recognition as we have urged for the
claims of this state would be wise
and most important war measure, ad-
vancing the efficiency of our arms, pro-
noting loyalty, assisting to insure
maximum production of the most es
sential cereals; convincing the farmer
of the northwest of his Governments
desire to cooperate with him in the
production of food stuffs, and serving
in large way the best interests of our
nation as whole.
Your very truly, &.. -.

IT'S A HIT, ALL RIGHT

Don't overlook the fact that China is also fight
ing the Hun. She isn't putting into it much if
any, man-power or gun-power but she's striking
some heavy blows along the line of high finance.
Under her treaties, she was bound to pay Germany
and Austria about $4,000 annually, until 1881,
as indemnity for the Boxer uprising. Declaring
war on the central powers, she cancelled all trea
ties and quit sending the monthly instalments Of
the indemnity.
Go to it, China! If you can't hit the Hun on the
head, hit him in the pocketbook!
