it's soldiers in that dreary land in
which they have been for three years
to go short. The very work of SOL

best-fed man in the world.
And not only have we to protect the
food of the soldier. You are all
aware that since the beginning of the
war the ships of the British navy and
those attached to it have increased
tenfold. Sometimes we only think of
the navy in terms of battleships, de-
stroyers and submarines. Added to
these are thousands Of small craft,
trawlers, drifters, observation ships,
and on every one Of these, summer and

out their work with greatest efficiency.
Quite apart from our navy, which
has prevented an! German ship from
appearing on the ocean for the last
IS months, are the men in the air. Can
you conceive man going through that
hellish life, $4,000 feet up, clothed In
electrically heated clothes and supplied
with oxygen to enable him to breathe
can you imagine him doing that on half
rations?
Can you imagine the boys In the
trenches surviving a week If we had to
cut down their pork and beans and
the various things they have to eat?
And can you imagine the men and
women working in the factories and
mines, here and in Great Britain, going
short? These are some Of the reasons
to which we in Great Britain attach
such enormous Importance in the con-
troll of the food Of the people.
The same considerations operate in
the United States to lead people to
save food that our soldiers, sailors,
aviators, fighting forces over there,
may have food.

Our Country's Birthday.

heart will have gone out of the old
time scene of racket and mischief

fateful scene when this nation was
an equal place in the world family

and conventional scene. 1t is hard
to imagine that it thrilled with any
human emotion. Yet these men by
the hangman's moose. They were de-
flying the strongest military power of
their day, and with but handful of
raw soldiers. 1t was an audaciOus
proposition. The fortunes of time
have made us now the ally of that
power. But the American spirit of
liberty has SO far. penetrated the

faith of democracy that inspired the

of the old patriots Of rs. They
would rather risk their necks than
stand for acts of injustice. That
temper has persisted to the present
day. 1t has drawn to our shores
millions of immigrants who shared
the same feeling of revolt from ty-
ranny, and who are fitting heirs of
the patriotic legacy. Blood will
will be patriots too. The sons of
the men who came to this country
to escape tyranny will not weakly
bow the knee to the autocrat. If
handful of the fathers dared DEFY
the old country in the days of weak
ness, the sons will never hesitate to
defy kings and empires in these
days of our strength.
