ALLIES ARE FED
BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without In
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since II
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
taIned the health and strength of those
who have been bearing the brunt Of
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden Of keeping starvation from
increasing Its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
In freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by a nation harassed
by hunger. A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the M
tions fighting for democracy; 1t must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility to re-establish themselves
In freedom and democracy.
without cur help 1t would have been
absolutely impossible for me Allies to
maintain living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con-
tributing largely to the support Of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut of, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point. whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States In the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration Of twenty-five million people.
1t Is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance of the assistance
(which has been lent the Allies b. the
patriotic, voluntary service Of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf-
ficient to feed one-fifth of our popula-
tion. And this was done In spite Of
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops. Our surplus was practl-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro-
portion of the food that left this coun-
try last year was saved out of the nor
NAL home consumption Of our own
people.
In spite of difficulties met In inter-
nal transportation and shortage Of
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted to a figure that few
years ago would have been unbelleva-
BILE. Even the most optimistic element
of our population faced with anxious
CONSERVATION the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
Of the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled to save. They have been
appealed to on the basis of humanity
and of patriotism. They have re-
sponded voluntarily.

She is Mrs. Alice Carter, whose hus-

''Unless one of my brothers Is killed

wounds are so-what do you say?-
the common thing that we do not fuss

Why Picture postals Are wante

WY EOohdto SNtS
Old picture postcards and pnoto.
graphs of France and Belgium, or any
Of the territory now occupied by the
Germans, are needed by the war de-
partment, according to an open letter
written by William Guggenheim, chair
man Of the army and navy committee
of the American Defense society, to
the American people. This letter reads :
II urge patriotic Americans to forward
any picture postcards, photographs
and prints of any of the towns Of the
country now occupied by the Germans
In Belgium and northern France to the
American Defense society at Al East
Twenty-third street, New York. They
will be sent to the war department, as
they will be Of value to our officers
abroad, who can familiarize themselves
with the appearance Of localities to-
ward which they are advancing. This
will undoubtedly be distinct aid In
military operations. I especially urge
persons who have travelled abroad and
who have collected postal cards to
carefully sort these, with a view to
their being used by the war depart
ment. Written descriptions of terri
tory already mentioned will be Of con-
siderable value"

SEVEN LOAvES OF BREAD
FOR EVERY PERSON IN
U. S. SAVED FROM WASTE
Farmers and Threshermen PatriotI-
cally Respond to Call Of Food
Administration.

From information received by the
u. s. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, 1t Is
now possible to announce with fair ac-
curacy the amount of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods Of han
ding. According to official calcula-
tions, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 100000 bushels of wheat
with corresponding savings of other
small grain harvested and threshed In
a similar manner. In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish fig
ures, reported greatly reduced harvest
losses.
The figure for wheat alone Is equiv
alent to seven one-pound loaves of
bread for every person In the United
States and represents food that form
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While op-
portunities In this branch of conserva-
tion were large, the quantity Of grain
recovered surpasses early expecta-'
tions. 1t is noteworthy also that re-
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation.
No conservation measure of the
Food Administration, 1t is declared,
has received more wholehearted sup
port than that pledged and rendered
by farmers and threshermen toward
reducing grain waste at Its source.

GENERAL GOURAUD IS

where trouble had been rampant for
years. A few years later he punished
the African tribes that had dared to
attack Fee.
Becoming brigadier, In cooperation
with General Baumgarten, he laid siege
to TARA, the Berber fortress which
since its erection no enemy had dared
to attack. The success Of this opera
tion resulted in the establishment Of
eastern and western Morocco.
In 1914 Gouraud went to Gallipoli,
from whence he soon returned minus
an arm He previously had been
wounded many times. Ordinary gen.
erals would have retired. But not

@.ii:17':-cP'lGAN TROOPS
....s.1vvH 70 BATTLE:
United States Forces Are All
Turned Over to the Allies
Under Foch.
OVER 100000 FOR DRIVE.
Great Activity in American Zone
Troops In Lines Miles Long PIod
Over Muddy Roads-Men De-
termined, But Cheerful.

With the American Army In France
The acceptance by France of Gen.
eral Pershing's offer of all American
men and material for the present
emergency has in effect virtually re-
suited in & unified army command, so
far as the French army and American
forces are concerned. This is shown
by the fact that the orders issued to the
American troops are Of French origin.
All the American troops have been
turned over to the allies for such use
as they see fit to make of them.
American troops may soon be fighting
side by side with their British and
French allies in the battle which Is
raging in northern France.
1t is enough to say that great &C
tivity of many kinds is in progress in
the entire American zone. Miles of
motor trucks loaded with Americans
have passed through the towns, some
going in one direction, some In anoth-
err. Through a driving rain the motor
trucks plowed their way along muddy
roads, the Americans singing. Many
of the trucks had American flags
fastened to their tailboards.
On other roads mile after mile of
marching Americans splashed through
the mud which came over their ankles.
The horses were steaming from the
work they had to do.
All the men are working as hard
as possible, with the realization that
they are TO be of service in the COM
mon cause and used in the present
conflict.
Great activity continued Sunday
throughout the zone where the Amerf-
can troops are quartered. 1t began at
four o'clock in the morning, when
heavily loaded motor camions began
rumhling through the streets and over
the reads. which by noon were crowd
ed with camions, both motor and
horse drawn, marching men, horses
and artillery.
As on Saturday, some parties were
going in one direction and some in
another The Americans passing
were cheered by others who stood
along the roads watching the virtually
endiess procession, some of which
were miles long.
Out on the open roads, the men in
the camions sang everything from
''Tlle Battle Hymn of the Republic"
TO ''Tipperary." They exhibited the
greatest enthusiasm for the work they
have in hand and seemed to be anx-
ious TO get it started.
Frequently during the day heavy
motor trucks skidded from the muddy
reads into bitches, but they were
quickly literally picked up by as many
Americans as could get a hand on
them and set back on the road and
started again toward their destination
A little thing like lifting the end of a
five ton motor truck from a ditch
means nothing to Americans who are
in a hurry to get into the fight.
