Food Administration Bureau
VIII Speak.
Tuesday, Dec. 3, 1918.

former governor Of the state OF
New Jersey. now connected with VT.
Hoover. in the national food admins
tration ourea. at Washington. D. &. Will
speak at the womeR's mass meeting l"
be held at the Elks' Club on Wednesday
afternoon The meeting will start
promptly at c:30 o'clock. and it is urged
that all women aid in very way possible
In the work and that all attend the
meeting.
In q recent statement, Mr.. Hover paid
& deserved compliment to the accom-
plishments OF the women or the country
along the line OF food conservation. he
said Our contributions could not have
been accomplished without effort and
sacrifice. and it is matter for turthcr
satisfaction that il has been accoT-
plishcd voluntarily and individually. IL
Is difficult to distinguish between vari-
credit for these results. but no one Will
DENY the dominant part Of the American
women.
Mr.. Hoover said:
The food supplies Of the world has
been steadily lcssening- 1t is the I'M
pact of this shortage which has Knocked
a, every door in the United States.
We hold it in our power and ours
alone. 10 keep the wolf from the door
OF the world. This duty Is wider than
war-it is as wide as our humanity.
The Hun is defeated. but hunger
reigns in Europe. In Poland and Serbia
hardly a child is left alive. Fields ara
reed-choked: those who titled them lie
on a hundred hattlefields. Widows and
childless women are left alone to care
for tho aged and wounded. But at last
each violated land lies open to our sue
cor and We must not fail. WI: MUST
