Food Shortage
I'm Turkey Acute;
Poor Eat Seeds
Dishonest Officials Nullify
Governments Effort to In

LONDON, June british Admiralty
Per Wireless Press Reports con-
corning the food situation in Turkey
show that conditions continue bad, and
that there is a great deal Of suffering
among the people, some Of the poorest
being forced to depend to a large ex-
tent on chestnuts and pumpkin seed,
owing to food shortage and the high
prices.
In certain districts. those on the
Middle Euphrates, for example, harv-
est prospects at the beginning Of this
year were bad and starvation was
anticipated unless the government
helped. A certain amount of seed
was at the governments disposal, but
local Turkish authorities were OBJ
structive and dishonest, and would not
issue the full amount, while the newly
appointed seed commissioners found
difficulties placed in their way. Under
these conditions the success Of the
harvest is highly problematical.

the Turks turned their animals loose

ripe, causing wholesale destruction.
The Turkish soldiers themselves

The bread ration should be two pounds
daily, but the men rarely receive more
than seventeen ounces daily, and fire.
quently ten ounces. The meat ration
is nine ounces three times a week, but
on the few occasions when meat has
bcen available the ration has not ap-
preached the nine ounces. Butter has
never been supplied, though occasion

or sesame oil has been provided.
The troops in the fighting line and
the gunners are better fed than the
rest, but in general ,hr food is in-
sufficient, though the officers are al

shortage and disorganization are not
responsible the dishonesty of the sup

DR.. Vincent Tells of Work
of Rockefeller Founda-
ton Among Soldiers

DR.. George E. Vincent, OF the Rookie
feller Foundation, who had been on q
trip of nearly three months to Italy,
France and England, arrived here yes
tcrday from Europe accompanied by
DR.. Livingston Ferrand, president of
the University of Colorado, who had
been in charge of the Foundation's IS
tuberculosis work in France for a year.
Both men were elated with the work
accomplished in France and expressed
qualification over the enthusiastic re.
ception with which the French people
lad received their efforts.
"The earlier reports relative to the
spread of tuberculosis among t.1e SOL
diers of France were greatly exag-
gerated," said Dr.. Vincent. Moreover,
they were misleading because the num-
ber of cases was overestimated.
French Aid in Work
"The enthusiasm with which the
French took up the task Of checking
the disease was splendid. We gradu-
French physicians, and in Brittany
where we received q great ovation
there are seventy young French
women enlisted as nurses.
"While in England ! attended the
interalleG conference relative to the
after care of wounded soldiers. The
work they arc doing in England for
the rehabilitation of seriously maimeo
men is amazing. Tie surgical work on
the face is most skilfully done and
the flesh-colored masks that are de-
vised for the faces of men frightfully
disfgured is astounding. So we'll are

IN Columbia Baccalaureate
Sermon Declares War Has
Blazed the Way
No Time To Be Lost
Insists Prohibition Should Be
Law of the Land When
Peace Comes

Taking as his theme, "Not when the
uar is over. but now" the Rev. DR.
Charles L. Slattery, rector of Grace
Church. in delivering the Baccalaure-
ate sermon yesterday afternoon in the
gymnasium at Columbia University
urged that the unifcation of the
churches be begun while we are at
war in order that it might be per
manent afterward.
Steps have already been taken, be
uid, in the direction of lasting world
liberation by the appointment Of Gen.
sral Foch in command of democracy S
armies, and the advocates of a united
Christianity might we'll take their les
son from this and strike while the
iron is lot.
World Safer for Little Peoples
"Now that this beginning of world
federation is made" said DR.. Slattery,
zone can indulge in the beautiful
dream of a world safe for the little
self-governing peoples, with rights
sacredly guarded by the united homer
Of the strong. Had this beginning not
heen made in the heat of war, I suspect
that in the colder days of peace the
nations would have fallen back to their
strange selfshnesses and jealousies,
and the dreams of federation would
have been mere vapors to be blown
out to sea with the first breeze of the
bargains Of peace.
ut is quite the same with the
visions which good men ere having
Of a united Christianity. Stirred by
the tales of Christian fellowship in
the trenches. bishops, moderators and
elders are saying: When the victory
is won, we must plan to get together
in the Name of Christ and dwell in
love in one Church which shall honor
Him indeed
at is a hazy, hopeful dream. If it
is to be more than that it must begin
to be transmitted into generous Chris
tian craftsmanship during the war.
Mems hearts are tender now, fellow
ship among Christian workers in our
camps is evident, we are all inclined to
look eagerly upon the virtues of our
nsighborhors, we are humble about our
own lack of devotion, we want the
contributions Of all the scattered or
carnations that the Church of the
whole may be filled with the fu.lness
of Christ
Church Unity Must Begin Now
"lf we wait till the strain of the
war is past, until the feeling of need
is reduced, then we shall fall back to
our ride in our little histories, our
conviction of privilege, our mutually
exclusive authorities-and the unity
we dreamed of will be definitely re-
mote. If the unity of the Church is
to come soon, it must begin to come
during this war. 1t must begin now"
Dr.. Slattery also made a plea for
lasting prohibition, declaring that ain
our country it is increasingly clear
that the cry from the camps for a
manhood free from the slavety of in
temperance will compel our State
Legislatures to give Washington the
authority to make prohibition the law
OF the land"

Anna Held Improves
Bone Disintegration Stopped,
Says Doctor

The first indication that Miss Anna
Held may recover from her illness is
contained in the statement yesterday
by DR.. Donald McCaskey, who an

the last three days.
"Ill fool you and everybody else
who thought that was going to die"
Miss Held declared to DR.. McCaskey
yesterday at the Savoy Hotel.
DR.. McCaskey stated that there have
been no further bone disintegration
and no new fractures or crumblings;
that she has now began to call
for extra food, and that her blood and
skin take the treatment prescribed
ideally.

Marion Davies is appearing this
week at the Rivoli in "Cecelia Of the
Pink Roses" a picture which, it seems
to US, owes much of its charm to its
presentation. When it was shown pri-
vately, last week, it lacked the ad-
vantage of Rothapfel presentation,
and that was not all that it lacked, to
our way Of thinking. But Sam Roth
APPEL could take q Keystone comedy
and present it with music and per~
fumes and lighting and artistic effects
which would make people believe that
they were being elevated as we'll as

Time to Spray
For Apple Scab

A large percentage of the Newtown
apples in the floor of the valley are
in the proper stage for the applica-
tion of the pink spray. This is the
most important scab spray and orch
ardists should make every effort to
apply lime-sulphur to 25 before the
blossoms open. The petals should
be developed so that they show a
good pink color and the fruit buds
we'll separated in the clusters so that
the spray can come in contact with
all parts of the buds and stems.
There may be some localities not so
far advanced, and orchardists should
watch the development Of the buds
and apply the spray when the buds
are in the stage stated above. 1t
will be all right to apply the spray
even if few of the buds are out in
blossom. This spray should be ap-
piled to all Newtown orchards and
other apple varieties that are subject
to scab. Winter Nellis pears are now
in an ideal stage for this scab spray.
Lime-sulphur to 35 should be used
on pears. Spray thoroughly so as to
cover all parts of the tree.

German Salute Flag

According to the Medford papers,

I'd Fielder, an alleged German pas
senger who was en- route to Teton
City, Idaho. It is said that Fielder
made remark to the passengers on
the train that THE kaiser is good
enough for me-" and this disloyal ut
terance was repeated to the soldiers,
who took the occasion to make Fled
Ter kiss the American flag and Red
Cross button every once in a while
along the road. At Medford, it is
stated, the soldiers made Fielder pay
over 81 for membership in the Red
Cross and S. as the first payment on
Liberty bond. The soldiers gave
Fielder receipts for the money and,
calling Night Policeman Timothy,
turned over the money to him, who
in turn gave 1t to Mayor Gates. The
soldiers threatened to keep this per-
formance up with the man until
Portland was reached, when he
would be turned over to authorities
fer investigation.
