WHEAT NEEDED
 FOR LIBERTY

The only question for every true learted American today is: What 3an I do to help win the war;" The )nly answer-"Give instantly the 'ervice needed"
 That service now is until the next arvest for you to share your wheat with your comrades across the sea for you who can afford it to give your whole share to them.
 Wheat is now a luxury for in aids, babies and the very poor
 It is not fit food for strong men nd women.
 The Allied countries of Europe ack wheat because: Belgium, for nerly strong, splendid and free, has bread; England formerly imported Ter wheat from South America and Australia as we'll ass from North \merica; France and Italy have ost to the army the majority of heir farmers; their women are eeded in intuition factories and other civil occupations. Fertil- gers and farming tools are lacking.
 The Allied countries of Europe leed wheat because: Bread has ,een one of the chief sources of punishment. Bakeries can not make raised bread without wheat lour-French homes in particular lepend on bakeries; fuel and time re lacking. One bakery can SUD- ply hundreds of families and so re- ease hundreds of pounds of coal hundreds of hours of time. If we insist upon eating wheat needed broad, Liberty's armies and Liber- y's civil population will collapse Russia, because the food supplies f her armies and her civil popula- ion failed.

Citizens of America, it is bad enough to have those countries acros the seas bear the brunt of all the fighting. It is impossible to believe that with the facts before us, there is living man or woman who will permit those countries to starve for us also. In old times the Prophets would have cursed the bread so eaten. It needs no Prophet now to say that there is a curse for anyone who in mere qualification of appetite eats wheaten bread, and that curse proclaims him a traitor to himself and to his country.
 Enough has been said and writ ten. The one who does not now understand the situation is an ig- noramus or a stacker; the igno- ramus can't and the stacker won't understand. The real pure-bred American from now on needs only the briefest message from one whom he trusts. .e

Reports of recent airplane acci- dents in England in which the names of American young men have been mentioned, verify the belief held here for some time that Amer ican aviators are playing a promi- Dent part in the aerial defence of London against hostile Gothas. One of the British Royal Flying Corps members was Lieutenant Alwyn Levy, known as Bert Levy, Jr., son of an actor and himself a youthful actor. He was killed, according to q despatch to his parents. He was not yet nineteen years old. Bert" was accompanied in his last flight by his English cousin, Lieutenant Cyril Whelan, also member of the Royal Flying Corps, who was like wise killed. Cyril was a month or two younger than his American rela- tive, yet was so experienced a flyer that he was classified as an in- structor in the tricks of flying up- side down, in loops and circles and other means of combating the enemy by superior skill and daring.
