ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea Of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July /. 1914, to
January :, 1918. is given by figures
just announced by the q. S. Food Ad.
minisration. In that period the Unit,
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rattons for 57,100,923, people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to snpply:th this portion of the diet
for 22,194,57o additional men.
The total export Of wheata and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4,O0O,000 bushels
Pork exports for the 49, years amount.
ed to almost 2,0O0,Ooo0o0 pounds. Ez.
ports of fresh beef totaled 4s3,4S4 AGO
pounds. The amount OF food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.
