ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea Of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914, to
January 1. 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the q. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year.
ly rations for 57,1OO933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for 2,194, $40 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 384,OOO,OOO bushels.
Pork exports for the 31a years amount
ed to almost 2.OO0,0OO,OOO pounds Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled Az, 4S4, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

Armed Vehicles Failed.

In 1874, when Holland attempted
to invade France by sea she furnished
the expedition corps with large num-
bers of armed vehicles, which were con-
ceived with the idea of arresting the
rushes of the cavalry. In addition
there were companies of grenadiers
provided with grenades not dissimilar
in principle from those Of today. How
ever, in landing on Belle Isle they
were hurled back by the Bretons and
their carts and grenadiers forced into
the sea.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India. and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 100000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex.
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of 10000.
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0,O00,OOO bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 1S5, 100000 to
the left over.
1t Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world-it is entirely a problem
Of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.
