Lutheran church of America but his
arguments and plea for the school were
ignored n q decision contrary to his
expressed wish was made. Professor

Famine Hoover Tells Brit
ish-U-Boat Is Not
Now a Menace.

London. July 24.-Herbert Hoover,
United States food administrator. told
the allied food controllers here today
that the corner in food production and
supply has been turned. There ia no
longer anything to fear from the Ger
dress delivered at q luncheon at the
Mansion House, he said:
The submarine menace no longer
threatens the food supply. We have
turned the orner at last.
During the last IL months the
United States has exported 10. 200, 900
tons Of foodstuffs to the allies. During
the next 10 months with less pressure,
we can export $1,000. 900 tons. Include
We have built enough ships to
handle food for the soldiers.
"The United States pork output alone
will supply meat for the allies,
I'm contrast to this, hunger is the
dominating fact with the enemy. They
have been unable to produce the food
they need. Starvation rings the words
OF the so-called German victory
These conquered people are being
slowly but surely starved. Their loss
Of lives through malnutrition and
starvation during the next harvest
probably will be larger than all the
casualties Of the west front"
Hoover read the following message
from President Wilson:
"The, American people will gladly and
willingly make any sacrifice in their
stuffs to maintain the healthy comfort
and the courage Of the allied peoples.
We are in fact eating at q common
table with them"
