FOR VIRGINIA
FEDERAL FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
GEO. c. PERRY, Tazewell, Va.
Food Administrator for Tazcwell
County.
A MESSAGE FROM HOOVER

Roughly. every 5000 tons of food
to the Allies requires $4,000 tons OF
shipping from Australia, 10000 tons
from the Argentine. and 5000 tons
from North America. Every steamer
We oan save from these long journeys
means the possibility of an additional
shipload OF soldiers and munitions to
France. If the Allies were compelled
to go to these more remote mari. cts
for their whole food supply today it
would require over 100000 tons more
shipping than at present in use for
this purpose. If North America could
next year provide the whole of Allied
necessities We could save $500, 900
tons Of shipping. Every ship we save
Is ship built The weight of our
blow against the Germans will be linz
tied not alone by the ships we build,
but by the ships that we save. The
measure of ships saved by food sup.
piled directly from North America is,
until our shipping expands, the meas
ure of ships for our own soldiers" u

A MESSAGE FROM FRANCE.
(Roanoke Times(.

1t was only IL little river, almost n
brook; it was called the User. One
could talk from one side to the other
without raising ones voice. and the
birds could fly over with one sweep
of their wings. And on the two banks
there were millions of men, the one
turned toward the other, eve to eve.
But the distance which separated them
was created than the stars in the
sky; it was the distance which sep
arates right from injustice.
The ocean is so vast that the sea
gulls do not dare to cross it. During
seven days and seven nights the great
steamships of America, going Mt full
speed, drive through the deep waters
before the lighthouses of France come
INTO view; but from one side to the
other hearts are touching.-From a
letter written by pupil in the Lyccc
Victor Durny in Paris.
No apology is needed, and certain
~ none is rendered, for taking up edi-
torial space with the foregoing ex-
tract from letter received from one
of the schools of France in response
to the message from the American
universities and schools carried to
them by DR.. John II. Finley, Commits
sioner of Education OF the State Of
New York. 1t is a beautiful expression
CT great truth and tells in the few
est words possible that which sepa-
rates the men in the opposing trench
es as we'll as that which binds the
American and French peoples togeth-
er. We know that our readers will be
struck by the beauty and simplicity of
expression, even as we have been.
