AMERICANS MUST DO MORE.
Greater Food Conservation Necessa.
~, Says French Commissioner.

Columbia, Mo, April 13.-The
bread ration of the French soldiers
has been cut from 25 ounces to 81
ounces; the civilian bread card al
lows 10 ounces a day, which is about
one-third of the average bread con-
sumption of the French peasant or
workman. The manufacture of
crackers and pastry has been abso-
lutely prohibited. Consumption of
sugar has been reduced 40 per cent.
The import of dried vegetables has
been reduced 81 per cent and of fats
As per cent.
These facts concering food con-
ditions in France were told recently
by Andre Tardieu, French high COM
missioner to the United States.
1.-THE people who have imposed
such sacrifices on themselves" said
Mr.. Tardieu, ARE a people who have
kept fighting for almost four vars
people who have modified seven
million men from a population
which, excluding the invaded terri
tries, does not exceed 80 million in
habitants, a people whose women
and children take the burden of In
dustrial and agricultural work left
by the men who Joined the army,
people whose army lost more than
million men in killed, more than
million in MANNED, a people whose
army, nevertheless, is still holding,
with an unconquerable steadfast-
ness, more than two-thirds of the
Western front.
within the last weeks, despite
the restrictive measures already
stated. there have been in French
agricultural districts which had for
days to put up with complete, alb
solute deprivation of bread, a situa-
ton which could not go on without
endangering the physical and moral
health of the nation.
"I am aware of what you have
done to reduce your domestic con-
sumption and to increase our eX-
ports. But you must do more You
must do it, for it is case of necessi-
ty. You must do it because it can DC
done.
1--WE and our Allies--the British
the Italians-have been taught to
suffer. Americans, you who are now
sharing our burden of bloodd and OF
death on the battle line, we are re-
ouesting you share as we'll, in the
rear, our burden of suffering. In or
der that you and we may win the
war, it is necessary that you, here in
America, should all agree to new
effort and to new privations."
