gions, with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine Is near AL
though starvation Is not yet imminent.
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria. and Tur-
key are In the throes of serious strin-
gencies. -.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least minimum of 10000, 900
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,OO0 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or II we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see In other parts OF
Europe repetition of the Russian de.
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been In vain.

Germany, on the other hand. need

England. France, the Netherlands

maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-

Spain and the northern neutral coun-

whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.

DOUGLAS, May 21.-People are still talking about the Country Fair. Along the sides of the hall were var ious booths tastefully decorated and presided over by Red Cross members in white caps and aprons. The coun- try store was well represented, hay ing everything in it for sale that is usually procurable at that sort or 0 place The hams suspended from the ceiling looking especially tempt ing, as they who later drew them in a raffle for the small sum of p cents, thought Everything from an electric pefcolator to a picture frame was raffled. The homemade candy booth, presided over by young ladies was a popular place and took in over $40. Good service was given at the ice cream and punch booth and their sales amounted to $32 The refreshment booth, where coffee and most delicious cakes were serv ed, was well patronized and $64 was taken in there.
 The Egyptian fortune teller kept fhany spell-bound with her promises and predictions for the future and il this way added $20 more to the fund The canes and pennants, donated by
