 The United States Food Adminis- trator this morning releases the fol lowing cablegram from Lord Rhonda, food controller of Great Britain:
 "Cnless you are able to send the Allies at least seventy-five million bushels of wheat over and above what you have exported up tU Jan uary first, and in addition to the total exportable surplus from Gam ada, I cannot take the responsibil- ity of assuring the American people that there will be enough food to win the war. Imperative necessity compels me to cable you in this blunt way. No one knows better than I that the American people, regardless of national and indfvid. uAl SdCTluCC IldNO oo Ae4 nothing that is needed for the war but it now lies with Americans to decide whether or not the Allies in Europe shall have bread enough to hold out until the United States is ready to throw it's force into the field.

 United States Food Administrator Hoover's reply was as follows:

The des- truction wrought by Pelee and Vesuv- jus are thousand times preferable to the tortures administered in the name of Prussianism. This 75.OOO,- 900 bushels of wheat must come from the kitchens of our land: your own kitchens. It will come only as you women give to the problem of saving wheat. Your thoughtful, earnest, pa tient endeavor.
 You may be working in the Red Cross, you may have sent a husband, son or brother to the front. bought Liberty Bonds with your savings those things are splendid: but you done enough yet. This is the way of infinite care and painstaking; this is your own special personal problem.
