the matter of food riots in the different
countries and told how in the retreat
Of the Italians the bridges were packed

reply OF the United States had been:
I'VE win send the wheat and it was

emergency occurs across the water you
can rely on the American people"
Mr.. Woleott spoke of the great work
accomplished by the food administra
tion, and the whole burden OF response
bility is now on our shoulders. The set
ting of the price of wheat at $500 was
to help the producers and at the same
time the interests of the unskilled work
men had to be safeguarded. Sacrifices
must be made by the well-to-do, and the
problem WIS being worked out most sat

The demand has been upon us, for
Frances strength, though not bled white,

making many mistakes at first has now
surpassed Germany in efficiency as the
war has progressed. The line may bend
here and there; it would be insane to
think it would not; but the only way TO
end the war is to kill as many Germans
as possible. A great responsibility is on
our shoulders, for we must share our
food, live simply and institute in our
homes new regime. All this will have
a great effect on the winning of the war.
