Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula.
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes Its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near AL
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are In the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be ham
died through our ports This means at
the very least a minimum Of 100000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S2OOOO tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
| happen we will see in other parts of
Europe q repetition Of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peac
will have been in vain.

SUGAR SHOWED
our BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States AVerted
Famine at Home in Spite
of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
If the general public had failed to-
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the throes Of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux.
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton Of sugar. By 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight,
Now the nation Is In position So
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to 20
far afleld, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

seat of government the little nations
first thought was to express her graft
tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such a map for Ameri.
cans because there Is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem II she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou.
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri
Gus difficulties. The same Is true OF
Spain and the northern neutral coun
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most Of Russia Is already In the
throes of famine, and 100000 people
there are" beyond the possibility OF
help. Before another spring thou
sands of them inevitably must die
This applies as well to Poland ant
practically throughout the Baltic re
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1918-12-27

A food map Of Europe today shows
not single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and Is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
afterthewar needs, which, with those
Of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent In the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more in her own

"America's Answer" which will
be presented at the Opera House
Monday, Dec. 80 is not the ordinary
press-agented film play. 1t is a
chapter of the great drama of the
war, registered by U. S. Signal
Corps photographers. The picture
was made and is presented by the
Division of Films, Committee on
Public Information, in order to
show the millions of contributors to
the several Liberty Loans, the pur-
chases of Thrift and War Stamps,
and those who have so generously
given in other ways for the needs
of the war, just how the great sums
have been expended and what, in a
physical way, has been accomplished
in France during the first year of
Americas participation in the
struggle for Democracy.
1t also shows the wonderful three
mile dock Somewhere in France"
built on swamp land by American
soldiers and now being used to ex-
pedite the landing of our troops and

shows how American soldiers live in
camp and on the fighting lines, what
they eat, how the daily supply of
bread is made, how the worn cloth
ing is renovated and repaired by
French women in the service of the
American Army; the utilization of
