A GRAVE SITUATION

While The Inteili"encer dorS not
wish to unduly alarm the community
It. would BE- rcr!iss in its duty il il did
not call attention to tho grave situa
ton occasicned by the prevalence OF
smallpox. The spread Of this disease
seems to have been due in some meas
nre to the laxity of some OF the au'
th6fities. 1t is high time that the
most vigorous measures were taken by
the health officials &c prevent its fur
Their spread. and thar the situation

PASSING. THE BUCK.

The procraStinatinG political leaders
Of the administration, some OF whom
! have been the most obstructive units
IN Congress in the forwarding Of war
preparations. arc now endeavoring TO
avoid responsibility for the rXasperat-
Ing conditions that confront US by
passing the buck" to the business
men OF the country who have FASTENED
TO Washington and tried to rescue the
Government from the incOmpetents
! who were plotting 1t to certain ruin.
The various committees OF the Council
Of National Defense, who have handled
the purchase OF war supplies. arc COM
posed OF men with established reputa'
tions in the business world who have
, sacrificed big incomes to give their
services 10 the Government. Despite
the lack of complete success that their
efforts have achieved. heaven only
knows what state Of affairs We would
! be in had they not volunteered their
expert knowledge and experience to
the country.
Perhaps the cloth and clothing
manufacturers have been subjected 10
more unjust criticism than any other
branch of our industries. An unbiased
Investigation shows that the mills
were ready to turn out the goods, but
were kept idle while fussy officials IN
Washington haggled over unimpor1ant
| specifications and blckered about
prices. All such details should have
! been decided on long in advance Of
the actual need of materials. Perhaps
lit would not have been we'll TO buy
! Quantities OF uniforms two years be.
! fore they were to be worn. but the
needs of an army Of two million men
could have been accurately forecasted,
and when the time for mobilization
came. adequate orders could have been
placed without a moments delay.
| The same story, with slight rarta.
lions. could be told Of ordnance sup
plies. shipping facilities, food. fuel,
; trans portation and everything else
: that enters into our war activities.
! The onrushing war found the men
charged with our national protection

The American Red Cross is the largest and most
efficient organization for the relief of suffering that
the world has ever seen.
It is made up almost entirely OF volunteer workers,
the higher executives being without exception men
accustomed to large affairs, who are in almost all cas-
es giving their services without pay.
It is supported entirely by its membership fees and
by voluntary contributions.
1t is today brining relief to suffering humanity,
both military and civil in every war torn allied
country.
It plans tomorrow to help in the work Of restora-
tion throughout the world.

twenty-five million Americans have joined it.
1t feeds and clothes entire populations in times Of
great calamity.
1t is there to help your soldier boy in his time of
need.
With its thousands of workers, its tremendous
stores and smooth running transportation facilities,
it is serving as Americas advance guard-and thus
helping to win the war.
Congress authorizes it.

VOUR Red Cross is an al-American, largely volunteer
/ organization, authorized by Congress, headed by
President Wilson, audited by the War Department, en-
Enthusiastically approved by your Army, your Navy, and
your Allies.
The work covers both military and civilian relief IN every
War-tcrn Allied country and full reports Of all ezpendi-
lures are continually being published, or are available
through the Chapters.
It stands beside our boys in training here or "oyer
there
It watches beside the pillows Of battle-broken men,
and offers rest and sympathy to War-torn lighters on
brief respite from the front.
It carries food and clothing to hungered mothers and
little ones IN ruined villages.
It helps rebuild the scattered pile Of brick and stone
they once called Home
It brings back to the hopeless mothers arms her long
lost child.
It helps care for the orphans Of the men who diedth
civilization might live.
It helps care for the thousands that have fallen prey
to dread tuberculosis.
It nobly represents in deeds Of mercy, relief, and res
toration the more than twenty million members that
have made its great work possible.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
is putting tho Allies and tho
United States on wheat rntiona.
Great stocks of wheat arc iso- -.
lated in India. and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to &C.
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January I. Australia had
stored 100000 900 bushels Of
wheat that was ready for OK
port-but there were no ships.
Then camc tho new crop with
an exportNblc surplus of $4,000
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1sO,Ooo,oO0 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, ut tho same time. Ind
10000, 900 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 600 bushels more out Of
tho new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed tho last ship
ping season with ll.OOO,NN
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add l35,OOO.OOO to
the left over.
II ia not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world--it Is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid-
Ing our stock with tho Allies.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea of tho quantity Of
food sem to European allies by the
United States from July l. 1914, to
January l, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by tho U. 8. Food Ad.
ministration. In that period tho Unit.
ell States has furnished complete year
~ rntions for 8 7.1OO.0S3 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro.
tcin to supply this portion of the diet
for "a, 1e4, $50 additional men.
The total export Of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about S94, 100000 bushels.
Pork exports for the az years amount
ed to almost 1900, 100000 pounds. Elk.
ports of fresh beef totaled 44S. 4S4.4OO
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies,
