MUST CUT IN WHEAT
Need for Limitation in ConSump-
ton Very Great.
Food Administration Corrects False
Impression Given by Recent
News Dispatches

WashingtOn.-Rece press dispatch
eS widely, circulated through the coun-
try have given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation of wheat and
-four. The food administration de-
clareS that every aspect of the wheat
situation. both present and prospec-
tive, intensif1es the need for the great
est possible Limitation in the American
consumption OF wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
in the slightest degree relaxed it would
result in serious want for the people
Of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food administrators estimate
OF the position on the first of June in
dicates a total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms,
IN country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators, of about 100000 BUSH
els. OF this 100000 bushels must
be exported before new wheat is avail
able for export If we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
about 100000 bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
Normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels a
month, so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third Of normal.
The harvest will not be generally
available in flour until the middle of
August or early September, although
in the extreme South it will be some
what earlier. So long as the war lasts,
with its increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. If we are
wise, a great harvest will mean the
willing building up of great national
reserves.

BUILDING ROADS IN ALASKA
Road Commissioners Find Trouble in
Maintenance on Account of Mar
row Tired Trucks.

Alaska has been building roads since
1905. It has built 92O miles OF wagon
roads, 629 miles of winter sled roads
and 2,21O miles OF trails. One of these
roads was built for motOrcar traffic,
but more than go trucks and passen-
ger cars were in use over them at the
close Of the last fiscal year.
Much damage has been done to the
roads by heavy narFOw-tfred trucks,
and the board of road commissioners
finds troubles of maintenance with
them always. In addition, they found
1t necessary to build q five-mile road
along a hillside last summer by cover
ing the road bed with willow cordu-
roy and Surfacing the corduroy with
gravel because the material underlying
the location consisted of six feet of
gravel on the bed rock, forty feet of
clear ice on the gravel and two feet Of
moss and tundra on top.

In the New England Bulletin of the
American Red Cross there is splen-
did review OF its work during the past
year from which the following is an
extract under the title of .sThe Human
Side
'The American Red Cross recognizes
that our first duty for humanity in this
war is the protection of our soldiers
in France. 1t recognizes also that this
duty lies with the United States gov
eminent and that the government is
responsible for 1t. As n supplement-
airy relief organization the Red Cross
stands ready to cooperate with the
government in this work, and TO put
its organization, money and supplies
into service at the call OF the Ameri-
can army whenever and wherever they
can be Of use. Fully realizing the dis
advantages that are always met in a
foreign country, and with the view of
keeping our soldiers in touch with
things American, the Red Cross begins
at the port of landing in France by
establishing rest stations. These rest
stations extend inland toward the
camps and are located in a series at
junction points and railroad stations
where the soldiers are required to
wait for train connections.
"Chief work of the American Red
Cross in helping care for wounded sol
diers lies in its cooperation with the
government in supplying an efficient
nursing service; in assisting the Army
Medical corps in cases of emergency,
and in furnishing materials for hos
pitfalls. There were on March 1, 1913,
more than twenty-three hundred Amer

Berne-The correspondent Of the

"Who would have thought possible

after the governments departure to

the high war prices without blinking.
One submitted to the necessity of a

PERMANENT ROAD IS FAVORED

the saving in the cost of rebuilding
would pay for them in a comparative
ly few years-and then there would be
a prospect OF valuable returns. The
thing would be like making a few pay
mentS to secure an annuity. Wherever
the money can be raised there should
be permanent highways. That is the
