WASHINGTON, March o. Tho

quantities the consequences to civiliza-

This Is the message brought from

ing British and French officers. At the
conclusion of her talk the officers col

Lathrop:
Everyone In France anticipates n
great German offensive this spring. I'm

will be the outcome? Americans do
not realize how great Is the danger
At present this war is anybody's fight
Germany has lost men. but she is still

needs hospital supplies. The people Of
the United States have been asked to
give them precedence over all other

warning. DO they realize that the
whole outcome of tho war may depend
on our doing our utmost to rush those
supplies in time TO meet the great de-
mand which must come" There IS still
opportunity TO ship them to France
Later on General Pcrshing may want

save from their normal consumption
We believe our people will not fail to
meet the emergency"
Our responsibility does not stop with
the allies. however. We must find 49,
600, 900 bushels to keep starvation from
Belgium. and we must also furnish
some 10.000.000 bushels for Cuba and
