wheat Showed :
SPIRIT OF u. S.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations Will Be Able to Re.
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply Of White
Bread.

OverShadowing Ill other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership Of Food Administration
is the history of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
u war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping Of large move
ments of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax cur efforts to save wheat. The &C.
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus Will have to leave this country.
we in America and the nations which
nave Won h world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the peo-
pies of denEcracy.
We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
2O.o0O,O0O bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent al, 600, 900 bushels of wheat
TO Europe. The american people had
saved out of their normal consumption
121,O00,o00 bushels.
y survey of export figures shows
that the conservation of flour brought
about by the whpatless meals. wheat.
less days, substitution in IL kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 30 1000. 900
barrels of white four-wErat figured
as flour. Had We exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able TO ship less than 1900, 900 barrels.
Before the LIST of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional $4,000 900 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies. 1t SEEM
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 100, 100000
bushels by July l. But in January the
late Lord %Thondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 75,OOO,o 900
bushels he could not take response
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending 85,O0O,OOO bush
els Of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first Of the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped G5,96O,305 bushels since July
1. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity Of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by July 1 Of next year
we will have sent more than 237,5O0,-
600 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good Americas;
pledge that the bread rations of Allied.
Europe shall be maintained.

BY comparison of the population and
wealth Of the entente allies and CEN
trail powers it would appear that the
war will be ended by that process
of attrition so often referred to. The
allied nations have 300. 100000 people
and their combined wealth is placed
at 1896, 000,O 600, The Teuton part
ners are rated at 147,OOO,OOO people,
having a wealth of $4,000 ,00O, 900.
The allies have debts amounting to IA
per cent Of their worth, while. the en-
envy nations are in debt tc the extent
of % per cent.

IN Ia a. stan 1OilNHlNiiNDANfN
A FRENCH CITY, Oct, l.--Rank grass
and weeds have no place on the grave
OF any American soldler-hero fallen in
France.
Not a single grave Is unmarked I'M
known, INTENDED
The United States army gives tender
care to its wounded. And to its mar
tyred dead, heroes who gave their
lives for the freedom Of the world, 1t
gives all grateful country can.
Casualty lists do not make pleasant
reading. Nor Is il pleasant work the
grave registration bureau has to do.
But Il IS a labor Of love and OF graf
ilude, undertaken by the army In be-
half Of loved ones at home.
Hero IN this inland city are the head
quarters Of the little known bureau,
headed by Major Charues S. Pierce. He
did similar work In the Philippines and
though he was on the retired list when
The United States entered the war, he
was called into service.
Eight units OF 30 men each are IN the
field. They work under shell fire and
gas. They find the spot where each
fallen hero has been buried. They erect
new and permanent crosses in place OF
the temporary identification marks.
Perfect Record Kept.
They preserve records and locations,
plot out cemeteries and maintain them.
Full control Of the plots are taken over
from French property owners In the
name OF the United States Government.
And everything is done so that any
grave can be found at a moments no
tice now or after the war.
At the bureau headquarters records
are kept Of each hero's name, rank,
service, date OF death, cause, where
buried, the grave number and marks,
cemetery number and name OF the COM
mune and department in which 1t Is
located, map references, sources Of IN
formation, Identification number, name
and address OF nearest relative, nota-
lions Of personal letters sent them, dis
position Of identification tags and dates
Of frequent inspections OF grave.
Immediately after a grave is located
and data gathered the kindly old major
personally writes a letter to the hero's
nearest relative. 1t Is the letter that
reaches a mother or father after the
first shock OF the War Departments
telegram announcing the soldiers death.
Human Touch in Letters.
Usually that letter crosses in the
malls letter from the boys home
asking for Just the very information
fhe veteran majors letter gives. Into
the lines he writes he puts human
touch. Though his task may be ardu
Gus he always writes each letter with
the care, the kindness, the tenderness,
the gentleness that belongs to his per
sonality.
