A HUNGRY WORLD.

In September the Belgian Relief
Commission calculated that, until aft
err the harvest of 1919, it must feed ten
million people in Belgium and North
eastern France. They will require, in
twelve months, forty-two million bush
els of breadstuffs and over three hum
bred million pounds of meat; the chill
dren alone must have seventy-three
million pounds OF condensed milk and
cocoa and forty million pounds Of
sugar
A month later Washington publish

troller The wheat crop there aver
aged about three hundred and twenty
five million bushels before the war
1t was a hundred and eighty million
bushels this year The potato crop
dropped from twelve million tons to
seven and half millions. Besides her
own army and civil population, there
are probably six million foreigners in
France-mainly, of course, British and
American troops. To feed these for
eign troops, the Interallied War Coun-
