".It will be my duty and privilege
to tell America that France is looking
to >her for help in relieving the suf-

devastations. I know that when the

American people to contribute freely

Guns and airplanes and tanks and
liquid fire and flaming shells which
squirt molten metal mean much to the
fighting general but in the last analy-

Men More Than Machinery.
The generals who command troops
at the front will TEN you that no me-

has been the weight of men which has

hope of the allies, not only for food
and inventive genius, but for her vast
resources of fighting men.
The most surprising feature OF Cen
eral Matrices frank talk in London
ir ire development of the fact that the
military authorities of the United
States, as we'll as the people at large
have had the IDEA that Great Britain
had more men in the fighting lines
than France herself. 1t is small Won
der, in view of this mis- apprehension,
that so many people in America have
wondered why the British should only
have held about one-third of the
battlefront while France was holding
the other two-thirds.

NO COMFORT IN UKRAINE.
New Russian Country Dominated (


Germany Is Shy Of Food.
The German people have been led to
believe that the Ukrainian peace meant
a fun market basket, and in Austria 1t
was described as "a bread peace" Now
comes along the Berlin Statistisches
correspondents the official organ Of the
Prussian statistical bureau, with nice
little bit of cheerful reading for hum
CRY Germans. It says:
"Podolia is so densely populated that
it has no grain for export The crops
of the governments of Kief. Volhynia,
kharkof, Tschernof, and Poltawa are
just sufficient for the needs OF their
own population Even in peace time
there was scarcely any surplus. The
last potato and hay crops were both
bad. Consequently large quantities OF
corn must be used as fodder. The
Ukraine sends forth no dairy produce,
the supply being not even sufficient
for the demand of the town popula
tons. The stocks Of cattle in the
Ukraine, with the exception of horses
are very small and there is no hope OF
any cattle being exported
The poignant part Of the situation is
that even the Austrian forces sent tc
plumber Ukrainia have to be fed from
home. A cable dispatch telling US thai
| Germany and Austria will not get the'1
much needed supplies Of foodstufff
from the Ukraine, despite the glowing
accounts which are used to bolster uI
the spirits of their hungry peoples, il
confirmed by the Berne correspondent
of the Morning Post, who telegraph:
that the German authorities admit these
hopes must remain unfulflled for thu
present.
Austria actually is sending flour II

members of the military administra-
ton, who explained that difficulties had
arisen in the export OF food-stuffs from
the Ukraine, and it was found neces-
sary to send provisions for the Aus
train armies in the Ukraine.
Within the last few days one hum
bred wagon-loads of Austrian -four had
been sent in and other consiSnments
were to follow. This condition is con-
firmed by recent speech of the pros
ident of the Krakow municipal council,
who. referring to the danger OF fam
inc that was menacing that city, said
there were wagons full OF -four on the
trains traversing Galicia, but only on

evaded by dealers and producers.
Regulation of the amounts of the
necessities sold 10 one CUSTOMER was
attempted but resulted in much Illicit
trading at high prices with the rich
getting the much needed commodities.
German government figures show
the cost OF living to have increased
III per cent but the bulletin says
these figures do not show the real
facts. Buying has to be, illicitly done
to get the goods and e9prmous prices
have to be paid.

the crowd down. With better weather
