RAIL CONGESTION is BLAMCD

Washington, Feb. 22.-The next two
months will be the most critical period
with regard to food that the United
States has faced since she entered the
war.
This was the statement on Thursday
of Herbert Hoover, United States food
administrator. Earnest cooperation
is called for. The statement reads:
I'm response to many inquiries l beg
to say it is true that since the first Of
December we have fallen far behind
our agreed food program with the al
lies. By the end of February we will
be short 100000 bushels in cereal
products which we undertook as our
share of their supplies. We also will
be short of the amount of meat prod
ucts that we were to deliver.
''This deficiency is due solely to the
railway congestion since that date.
Face Critical Stage.
1.-THE next sixty days will be the
most critical period in our food his
tory. The simple fact is that the pro-
gram goes far deeper than supplies to
the allies.
During the last three months we
have fallen far behind in movement of
fOodstuffs from the farms to the con-
Stunning and storage Centers. Up to the
first of February less than so per cent
of the normal ratio of corn has been
moved, less than 80 per cent of the
oats and less than 60 per cent of the
potatoes.
eve had about 10000 carloads Of
potatoes November 1 that should have
been moved from the producing CEN
tiers, and up to the first Of February
we had moved about $4,000 carloads.
We should have moved over $4,000 in
this period. The result is that pOta-
toes are spelling in the producers
hands.
"There is a great deal Of live stock
which has been ready for the market
for some time, but is still held in the
farmers hands through inability to OBJ
tain transportation.
"The situation calls for every coop
Grafton of the public-through the
quick loading of cars, loading them to
capacity, and discharging them quick
ly-and in every way reducing the tax
on the railways.
Incorporation can be given by reduc-
ton of consumption of foodstuffs, by
the consumption of home and local
stores to the exclusion of transported
articles.
"No effort is being spared to move
allied food, and the railway director
ate is arranging special trains to carry
meat and clearinghouse products from
Chicago TO load the waiting ships.

WILLIAM H. TAFT URGES
DEATH FOR ALL TRAITORS
Whisperinq Anti-Americans Called
Chief Internal Enemy of People
at This Time.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-"Death to trait
ors.'
These words brought an audience III
the Medina temple to it's feet time af'
ter time at the opening session OF the
congress of national service, under the
auspices of the National Security
league.
"Anti-American and whispering
traitors" was the term used by former
President Taft in describing the insid-
iouS Sedition which now constitutes
the chief internal enemy of the Ameri'
can people.
I'm little communities" he said,
"the presence of two or three of these
whispering traitors has paralyzing
effect on our entire people. Fight their
insidious propaganda of peace. Hunt
them down and give them the short
shrift of a firing squad!"
At this statement representative
men and women from various parts OF
the country arose from their seats and
cheered for several minutes.

York, president Of the league, declared
new and sterner sedition laws were
needed by the nation, his utterances
received a whirlwind of applause.
Two things remain. to make victory
certain for America, according to Gov
ernor LOwden, the first speaker. They
are a permanent policy of universal
military training and the immediate
adoption of a definite financial pro-
gram.
Mr. Taft also came out for universal
military training. He declared that a
3O-day speaking tour of environments
and personal acquaintance with SOL
diers would make any one a convert
to universal service.
The keynote of the congress was
sounded by Mr.. Menken when he as
serted America-the America of the
future-needed not only strong and
able men to carry out her precepts
of peace, but citizenry trained in it's
duties and responsibility to the ma
ton.

BRITISH MAY ENLIST
 IN TWO ARMIES NOW

Under special instructions sent by Provost Marshal General Crowder to the draft boards throughout the coun- try. British subjects may enlist volun- tarily either in the British or Canadian armies, through the agency of the Bri- tish and Canadian recruiting mission in the United States.
 This news was received yesterday in the form of copy of a telegram, re- ceived by Alexander Baird, jr., of Douglas, British vice consul for Ari- zona.
 The message says:
 July 12, 1918.
 "In view of the senate's approval of the recruiting convention between the United States and Great Britain an important order has been telegraphed today to all local boards throughout the countTy,by General Crowder, the provost marshal general. Shortly this order provides that till further notice local boards shall put on one side all registration cards relating to British subjects whether classified or unclass- flied and shall suspend the induction of British subjects into the United States army. While this order is in force all British registrants may be voluntarily enlisted for the British or Canadian army.
 Precautions have been provided to prevent the enlistment of American citizens. An earnest appeal is made to British registrants to avail them selves for service in their own armies before they finally become liable to compulsory service under the United States draft"
 Mir. Baird adds that applications for enlistment in the British or Canadian forces should be made at the vice con sulate in Douglas. which will furnish free transportation to Vancouver, B. C., to those applicants who pass the required medical examination.
