FOOD TO ALLIES
u. s. WAR TASK,
HOOVER WARNS
Fats, Beef and Sugar to Be
Supplied From America,
He Declares

New York, Aug. 24.-The United
States will share with the Allies their
sacrifice of food as we'll as blood in
the cause of world democracy, de-
clared Herbert c. Hoover, federal
food administrator, on his arrival
here yesterday on his way to Wash
ington after a brief visit to England
and France.
Asserting that I'VE have to make
good" and that he had given a
pledge to this effect to the Allied
food administrators while sitting lat
common table in common cause"
Mr. Hoover said, to do so, America
next year will have to supply the
Allies 4,000,000,000 pounds of fats,
900, 100000 pounds of beef products,
500, 100000 bushels of cereals and
100000 tons of sugar. However,
Mr.. Hoover added, beginning Sep
temb Der 1, there will be no need for
drastic food rationing in the Allied
countries. except in the case of
sugar and beef. In a statement deal
ing with his observations abroad. Mr..
Hoover said, in part:
Harvcsts Saved by Women
The harvests in France. England
and Italy are better than one could
expect in the tremendous drain of
man-power to the front. This is due
to the women. There Is no sight in
the world that would appeal to the
American heart as that of the liter
ally millions of women doing all the
work of getting in the harvests while
their men are at work in the shops
and driving back the Germans"
OF the foodstuffs which America
must export Mr.. Hoover said:
After shipping is set aside for
transport of the American Army and
for military purposes of the Allies,
definite amount of tonnage is made
available for transport of the pro-
gram of food for civilian consump-
ton. The purpose OF our European
food conference has been to deter
mine the amount of food upon which
health and morale can be maintain
ed and to determine the nearest pos
sible sources of supply of this food
to the Allies.
Upon North America falls the
burden of food supply. While Can
ada can export 100,000,000 bushels
of grain this year, the major part of
the Allies program for next year
falls upon us. We have also to feed
our own enormous army. We can
do it if we simply have the will to
live with every economy and to waste
nothing.
'By the great effort of our farm
ers our United States harvests are
better this year. but in order that we
may build up surplus of wheat
this year, as against possible crop
failures such as we had last year. we
have decided to mix twenty per cent.
of other grains with wheat flour
in all the countries fighting Ger
many. We cannot ask for better
bread than France and we propose
the American people should maintain
a common standard of bread with
them.

HENRY CABOT LODGE

Washington, Aug. 24.-An earnest
warning against 'insidious and pois-
onous' German peace propaganda and
declaration that peace must be die
tated to and negotiated with Ger
many to place her in a position where
she never again can disturb the
worlds peace, were made in the Sem
ate yesterday by Sen. Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, ranking Republican of the
Foreign Relations Committee.
Peace terms which must and will
be forced on Germany were specific
ally detailed by Senator Lodge, in ad-
dressing the Senate in support of the
manpower bill to extend the army
draft age. They included complete
restoration of Belgium. unconditional
return of Alsace-Lorraine to France
and of Italia Irredenta to Italy,
safety for Greece. independence for
Serbia and Rumania, an independent
Poland. independence of the Slav peo-
pies and freedom of Russia from Ger
man domination, including return of
Russian territory wrested by Ger
many in the Brest- -Litovsk treaty.
Furthermore, Senator Lodge declar-
ed Constantinople must be made a
free port and Palestine never re-
stored to Turkish rule.
These are the principal condi-
tions," he said, which will give a
victory worth having. No peace that
satisfies Germany can ever satisfy
us. 1t cannot be negotiated peace.
1t must be dictated peace and we
and our allies must dictate it,"
The Germans, repulsed and los
ing" said Senator Lodge, "undoubt-
edly will begin an insiduous and
poisonous peace propaganda. With
this weapon they have succeeded in
disorganizing Russia. 1t is the Ger
man propaganda which we shall be
obliged TO face in the ensuing
months"

YOUNG TROUT GO
INTO STREAMS
State planting Operations
Are Going Ahead With
Considerable Vigor

Thousands of young trout have
been sent from fish hatcheries of
the state to small streams in the
northern and western counties of
pennsylvania in the last week, the
season for planting" streams with
hsh having had to be started earlier
than known before owing to the
unusual conditions brought about by
the war. Generally the distribution
of trout does not begin until late in
September, but this year transporta-
ton is so uncertain that the De-
partment of Fisheries decided to do
what it could and do it early
We have been very fortunate in
getting many fishermen and lovers
of sport to agree to handle the ship
ments for us" said Commissioner
Nathan r. Butler. I'VE are short
handed at the hatcheries and every
man we can get is at work. The
cans have been sent to men who are
known to be interested and they are
putting out the fish. The reports
show that they are arriving in good
condition. If things can be handled
we will send out many young trout
and blue gills before frost comes"
Reports to Commissioner Butler
tell of good bass and salmon fishing
in many sections of the state, the
bass fishing being particularly good.
1t is probable that steps will be
taken in the next few days to brinE
to attention of federal authorities
the pollution of the West branch
of the Susquehanna by what is al
legged to be refuse from explosive
factories on tributaries. The state
authorities have found the wastes to
have killed large numb bers of fish
| but the owners of the plants insist
that they are working on war or
! ders and that the state must not
interfere.
