The American Food Administrator
further said that
"the exertion of the American agricultural
authorities and farmers has borne such
fruit that there will be no need during
the next twelve months for any restrictions
on the volume of breadstuffs to be shipped
to the European Allies"
In a line with his Mansion House
speech Mr.. Hoover at the end of last
week cabled to Washington to have ho-
tells, restaurants and other public eating
places released from their pledge to alb
stain entirely from wheat till the next
harvest. The remarkable success of the
Food Administrators food-saving cam
pagn was indicated in a Washington
dispatch of Sunday, according to which
there had been saved from October 1,
1917, to August 1, 1918, between 1885,
100000 and 2O0,O0O,OO0 pounds of
wheat and it's products, as we'll as 1907
100000 pounds of meats and 100000
pounds of sugar
At the same time the food admins
tration at Washington announced that
housewives were released from volun-
tary pledges to curtail the consumption
of wheat in their households.
The savings effected by the voluntary
restrictions of consumption submitted to
by the American people, as the press is
pointing out, have enabled us to export
larger quantities of foodstuffs to our
allies than even the large figures regis
tered for the previous war years. Ac-
cording to figures just issued by the De-
partment of Commerce, our exports of
breadstuffs in the last fiscal year were
worth 1888, ,485, as compared with
$588,983,454 in the year preceding,
while our meat and dairy exports were
worth 1919, 84s,942, against $4o3,192,-
279 for the earlier period.
Mr.. Hoover's speech naturally caused
great satisfaction throughout the coun-
try, as is amply testified by the press.
His announcement that we "have turned
the corner" was received with sort of
triumphant satisfaction. 'The New York
Times" said it was Gas important as the
bulletin of timely battle won by Amer
lea and her allies in the field" "The
Baltimore Sun" also sounded martial
note in it's comment: $50 let US all con-
tinue to go over the top with General
Hoover until the enemy surrenders. We
have won notable triumph which ought
to inspire us to win greater ones STILL"
"The Philadelphia Enquirer" sum-
married Mr. Hoover's words as meaning
that "the American hog will win the
war;" and it added:
ut will be great day for the American
hog when he has done his share of achieving
victory. In the meantime shall COM
plain the less of meat costs, seeing that
they are the result of foreign shortage.
We shall eat little meat or none if only
it hastens the end"

I t Wouldn't Be Fair to the
L Boys in the Trenches

Secretary Bakers recognition that
baseball players were really engaged in
amusement enterprises similar to that of
theatrical performers has the approba-
ton of public opinion generally. "The
Pittsburgh Dispatch" states the case as
follows:
Secretary Baker promised the correction
of an obvious discrimination when in max
ing this ruling he suggested revision of
the regulations which would include all men
of draft age engaged in entertaining with
IN the work or fight order. The baseball
men had a just complaint if they were to
be included and film and stage players ex-
cluded. The net addition to the army NAV
not be large enough to affect the war, but
as matter of absolute justice to the men
IN the trenches and to those obliged to sac
rlfce their personal interests by transfer
to essential industry, the War Department
could not set up special exemptions"
Most of the papers, while admitting
that both money and pleasure will be
sacrificed, are inclined to make the most
of it. Some think good will result from
the suspension, "The Chicago Tribune"
for instance, which declares:
professional baseball might be given A
rest for the duration of the war without
much injury to national essentials. 1t has
been productive of much bad sportsmanship
and some times seems to develop and en-
courage every American tendency toward
bad manners and poor sport.
Except as professional baseball is an
undoubted stimulus to amateur baseball it
is amusement rather than a sport. The
American tendency is to put sport in the
hppodrome, where it does the least good to
the nation generally. We killed boxing by
spectacular scandals, and baseball has
shown a number of symptoms of going the
same way.
"A wartime suspension of the game for
professionals of draft age might bring the
amateur game to the front more, and it is
in the amateur game that national benefit
IS really found Our disposition to get
hectic with unproportioned excitement
might be abated little, and when the pro-
fessionals went back to the game it might
be to corrected game"
It's only for the duration of the
war-a case of eau revoir" rather than
"adieu." The coming Of peace will re-
store it along with many of the other ac-
Invites which have shrivelled in public
opinion during the last year. In the
words of "The Petersburg News:
Baseball can be reconstructed after the
war. There is no time for it now
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-08-04

"Of course it will be necessary to build
up reserves against possible future shortage.
But the people will readily respond to any
demands of this sort. They realize that
they have contributed largely to the Win
ming of the war by feeding their allies,
and hua keeping up their morale"
'The New York World" draws atten-
ton to the fact that the "half- and-half
rule" requiring purchasers of wheat
flour to take an equal weight of wheat
substitutes still remains in force, while
bakers must continue to make victory"

Election:
"The advantage is in the lifting of the
voluntary embargo on the use of any wheat
flour at all i'll bread or cake or pastry
But it is obviously going to be long time
before the wheaton loaf regains it's former

The announcement of Mr.. Hoover was
made at the famous Mansion House, AZ
a luncheon given in his honor by the
Lord Mayor of London. In regard to
the general food situation, he said that
eve have turned the corner and de-
clared "emphatically that all anxiety as
to the great essential of food is now
past" In regard to bread, he said:
Our loaf will improve in quality, and
we can deliver it without restriction, ex-
cept an injunction to economy"
Equally reassuring were his remarks
about meat:
~ have in my possession the needs of
the European allies for meats. We can
furnish the whole volume in pork alone
We can summarize our present position
by stating that within the next twelve
months can, with less pressure of
saving upon our people, export $4,000, 900
tons If necessary, and to this Canada will
add 100000 tons"

VA HAT remains of professional
wv baseball is to pass into his
tory on the last day of Au-


Marshal General Crowder that ball play
ing was a non-essential industry under
the "work or fight" rule has been sus-
tanned by Secretary Of War Baker, who
granted the national pastime respite
until September /.
Only three leagues survive-the Ma
tional, the American and the Interna-
tional. The thinning of their ranks had
previously forced the minor leagues out
of business. The American Association
wound up its season hurriedly two weeks
ago to-day, and Kansas City was awarded
the pennant. The Eastern Association on
the same day adjourned, with New Lon
don the champion.
1t had been predicted for some time
that baseball would not be able to survive,
with players from twenty-one to thirty
one going into military service. Most of
the draft boards saw no reason why the
husky young athletes should not engage
in some essential INDUSTRY. The status of
ball players under the selective service
classification came to showdown with
the appeal of Catcher Eddie Ainsmith, of
the Washington club of the American
League, from the ruling of his local board
in the District of Columbia.
The press of the country has found lit
tie fault with the ruling of the Secretary
of War. Those interested in the game
must be willing to accept their incon-
venience or hardship in the same spirit of
sacrifice as have persons in other activi~
ties interfered with by the war. "The
Louisville Courier-J ournal" points out:
"Of course, the Secretary Of War is right.
and only the prejudiced few could possibly
have expected him to announce with
straight face that baseball was a produc-
tive, essential industry. In time of peace
baseball plays useful part in the outdoor
life OF the nation and should be encouraged
But the spectacle Of lot of husky young
Americans chasing balls around Il field and
claiming exemption on that account from
productive labor war service is properly
TO disappear from our national stage The
odd thing about the contention Of some of
the magnatcs was that they placed them
selves IN the position of wanting to send

"The Chicago Daily News made this
comment:
"The American people, in simple truth,
have saved the cause of freedom and democ-
racy from disaster by their cheerful and
effective cooperation in the vital task of
conserving food products that are essential
for the sustenance of the European nations
that are fighting on our sidc.'
But this paper reminded its readers
that the food problem of the Allies is
only "solved provided this years har-
vests are carefully gathered and con-
served and provided the problem of ship
ping is met in an adequate manner. Not
only does the submarine peril remain,
but the great and growing army of
Americans in Europe places huge ad-
dtional burden upon the available cargo
vessels"
"The Indianapolis News" also looks to
the future in it's comment:

came at a moment when the Allied ar
mics were steadily pushing the German
armies northward between Scissors and
Rheims. 1t thus deepened the feeling
of relief in all Allied countries over
what seems to be the definite turning
of the tide at the military front. 1t also
came at a time when the submarine
menace was being overcome more surely
than ever before, despite the sinking of
the Justicia and several other important
vessels during July, for the British Ad-
miralty was able to announce to the
House of Commons on Tuesday that ship
construction in Allied countries during
the past quarter had exceeded the sink
ings by submarines and other losses by
about 100000 tons per month.
