to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wl,e:.;
crop the only limitation upon Ameri
can exports to Europe Inns been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July /
and October 10 We shipped O5,9SO.3O-
bushels. II this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with NOR,

The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa
ton Of h0stilitfes we are able to re-
turn tO'a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacces.
stble markets may be tapped. by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail.

But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep n
steady stream Of wheat and -four NOV.
lng across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
gear with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic staiisticians
figured that We had a bare surplus or
10000 900 bushels And yet Europe
was facing the probability OF a bread
famine In Europe bread is BY far
the most important article in the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early In the fall. BY the first
Of the year we had managed to ship q
little more than 50,OOOOOO bushels BY
practicing the utmost economy at
hOme-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals. heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
in January the Int Lord Rhnndda,
then British Food Controller. called

take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed
The response OF the American peo-
pie was $1,000, 600 bushels safely deliy-
cred overseas between January and
July l. Out Of harvest which gave
us only 10000, 600 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141. 900 900 bushels
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
nm awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

For the Disabled Soldier.

Publicity Bureau. Gulf Division. A. II. C.l
The Red Cross is cooperating with
the Government in arranging for voca-
tional education for the disabled sol
diers and sailors after they have been
discharged from active service. as pro-
vided for by the Vocational Rehabili-
tation Act, recently passed by Congress.
The Bureau of Information opened by
the Red Cross at its headquarters in
Paris has prepared set of questions
and answers which will help make
cletr to the men the workings of this
act.
The training will extend along in
dustrial, agricultural, technical. COM
mercial and professional lines, accord
ing to the aptitude and previous expe-
rience OF the men. Wherever necessary
a fundamental education in reading,
writing, mathematics and science win
be given as prerequisite to the voca-
tional training.
The Federal Board has also insti-
tuted an employment bureau, called
placement bureau, which will not only
secure positions for the men but will
follow up their business careers
The VOCATIONAL edncation will in NO
way affect the amount of compensation
a man should receive from the Bureau
OF War Risk Insurance, AZ this is en-
tirely based upon his physical disa-
bility. While the ex-soldiers are i'm
training they will also receive Il
monthly compensation equal to that Of
their last month In active service; and
their families will continue to receive
their accustomed allowances.
The Government, through the medi-
um Of the Red Cross. will help every
disabled man to lead Il useful and
happy normal life. through his voca-
ticnal training. Red Cross representa-
tiyes are in charge Of the work of sup
plying information in regard to the
course to all men IN the service

existence OF the Food Administration
In the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the

that awakened democracy would prove

have been watching anxiously the last
four months IN the fear that demo

meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that It could not be
done. Contrary proof Is immediately
at our door, and our people have a.
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare

But since that time Bailey has been
