FAMINE FACES FRANCE
SAVE WHEAT TO SEND
OVERSEAS TO ALLIES

"The Allies are still hungry
and if you can spare . little MORE
flour, for Gods sake send il, "
was the plea made recently by a
British officer to an American
audience.
Who Of You, after hearing that
heart -breaking cry after realizing the
necessity which faces the brave ma
tions Of Europe. can help saving
wheat? -
Two definite appeals to - are
voiced there.
One il 10 patriotism, the other 70
common sense. )
The. Allies cause 10 our cause. Our
men are fighting shoulder to shout
der with their men. II food fails. the
fighters must fail. The war must be
lost to Liberty. Even the most ignor-
ant among US knows what German
victory would mean, especially to the
women and children Of the land. Our
love Of country. our love OF our
homes, our every instinct OF self
preservation must make u do every
thing, whether great or small toward
victory.
The other appeal IL that Of human
fly. Who can refuse to deny himself
because Of his greediness, bis love Of
his own food habits, when that
thought-the thought Of the Allies
suffering-comes to rs?
Can any one with either sense or
scnsibility keep ON eating wheat pro-
ducts In the present need? Does II
not throw human weakness into an
ominous German shadow to insist up
on having food requiring white flour ?
Won't you-all you red-blooded
willing American citizens let that
British officers cry for the Allies
spare q little more flour. for Gods
sake send it!''

NO INTEREST NOW
Public Does Not Want To See
Heavyweight Fight.
Willard and Fulton Played
Their Cards Wrong.
BY LACK VEIoCK.

New York, May 31.-The fight fans
of the country are no longer inter
ested in the heavyweights.
The calling off of the Willard-Ful-
ton battle July was met without a
sign of regret from the boxing public,
and it will probably be many a day
before the big fellows in pugilisp get
back into the spotlight again.
Colonel ]. c. Miller saw SO many
evidences that the country did not
want the big fight that he became dis
couraged, and no one could blame
him. The bout was handed the chill
some shoulder at every turn. and it
deserved no better reception.
Might Have Cleaned Up.
Had Willard and Fulton played
their cards right, they would have
stood a chance to make a cleanup.
But they would have had to fight
more than ten rounds to win popular
approval.
In turning down the offer of Pro-
moter Tortorich, of New Orleans. the
big fellows-Willard in particular
made one grand mistake. Willard Of
fered the fiimsy excuse that the cli-
mate in Louisiana is too hot in July.
He did not get away with it in the
eyes of the boxing public.
The long search for site for the
bout became so tiresome that each
new attempt of Promoter Miller evok-
ed only passive interest among the
fans. The public was more interested
in seeing the bout turned down than
anything else.
No Chance Now.
Since Colonel Miller gave up the
ghost, there is little chance that the
heavyweights will get back into the
spotlight until after the war is over.
And even then it is doubtful whether
Willard will get cordial reception
should he still be in a mood to defend
his crown 1t would not surprise the
boxing public to see Willard retire I'M

PLAN STANDARD WAGE
Government Considering Making Ono
Wage Scale for Whole Country.

ton of wages of common and unskilled
labor, to halt the enormous labor
turnover that is slowing up war work
thruout the. country, was under con-
sideration today by the department Of
labor.
Such a move is essential to equal
distribution Of the present labor sup
ply, officials of the department say,
because of varying wage rates and in
equality of houring conditions.
Under the standardization wage
plan. carpenter, for instance, would
get the same wage in California as
in New Jersey. This would auto
matically take away the temptation
to large groups of men to concentrate
in one district at the expense of
others.
