for the past ear beef pounded into
the allies by the German submarine

II we save lots of food. we can
shoot 1t in a straight path across the

If we give him millions of soldiers

So that feeding the allies with
American food Is like INCREASING
our precious fleets. This INCREASE
enabled us to rush 100000 troops
to the hard-pressed allies this spring
and summer.
1t is up to us eaters to say whether
we will make 1t possible to continue
to send Pershing 100000 men a
month or whether we will greedily
eat food, eat SHIPS and a the Bit

In the year which began Septem-
Der 1 we must send to u allies
