our BOYS CANNOT KNOW
French FOOD CONDITIONS
Decrease in Production and Feeding of
Allied Armies and Refugees
Cause Food Shortage.

American soldiers living at the front
correctly the food conditions of
France The armies are given the
best food, and they often commander
practically all there is in local mar
kets, not realizing the effect this has
on the civilian population.
When stationed in Paris or other
large cities, our boys sometimes dine
at expensive restaurants which can
furnish sufficient food Even in visiting
certain French homes, they may not
realize the actual scarcity of food.
The French are proud race and do
not enjoy showing their discomfort to
their guests; furthermore, they are
ready to do anything to make an
American feel at home among them
even though it takes all their sugar
ration at one meal.
But statistics show the decline of
food production in France. AS much
land as possible is being titled by the
old men, women and children. They
have done their work under danger of
bombardment by the Germans. After
working in the fields all day, they re-
turn to their homes at night to cook
supper and then carry their blankets
out into the fields to sleep because Of
the German habit Of throwing bombs
into the villages two or three nights
week.
The civilians have difficulty in get
ting food because of the large amount
taken from their supplies by the arm
les and refugees. The food supply of
Farnce flows in three directions. First
into the area under military influence,
second into big cities such as Paris,
Marseilles and Bordeaux, and third
into the rest of France which has
been drained to support the Allied
armies.

Zone teaspoonful or it's equivalent
for tea or coffee plus one teaspoonful
for fruit or cereal may now be served"
reads the telegram, "but teaspoonful
may not be given for both fruit and
cereal. The patron may decide which
one of the two shall have sugar. One
small lump may be used fo- demi-
tasse.
I'm no event shall the amount
served to any one person at any one
meal exceed one-haf ounce" Isj

several boys and. a large size sheet
iron drum which they pounded with
all their strength. They attracted
considerable attention and were heart

WAR DEPARTMENT BACKS
WAR AID PLUS QUOTAS

President Wilson and the war de-
partment have formally approved the
augmented subscriptions sought in
the United War Work Campaign. This
is made known in a resolution adopt
ed by the Commission on Training
Camp Activities Oct. %, which speci-
fcally states that the war department
has been consulted and that it ap-
proves Of the plan.
Since the needs of enlisted men
have grown apace with the increased
army and navy, the campaign leaders
have determined that at least a fifty
per cent subscription of the original
goal is imperative. The following i'm
portant resolution is an eloquent testi-
monial Of the urgency for large plus
subscription in the coming drive:
1.-The Commission of Training Camp
Activities with knowledge Of the ac-
tual and probable requirements of the
seven organizations cooperating in
the United War Work Campaign are
convinced that owing to the changed
and enlarged plans of the American
Army and Navy a larger sum will be
nedeed than one hundred seventy mil
lion five hundred thousand to carry
their work through the coming sum
mer, Notwithstanding the wise and
substantial economies which are be
ing effected as d result of the yalua-
BILE process of coordination and CO.
operation now going under the di-
rection of the Commission of Eleven
and would therefore express the hope
that the American people may be glad
to respond to an appeal in November
with a generous oversubscription.
"The War Department has been
consulted and concurs."
