America Must Save More Food
Than Ever and Send 1t to Our
Allies to Win War Next Year.
BY MILTON BRONNER.
IN. e. A. Staff correspondent.)

Washington, D. c., Sept The ak
iom that a straight line is the shortes
distance between two points has fo1
the past year been pounded into the
allies by the German submarine war
That's why it's up to Americans to hi
back by growing and saving more food
than ever before.
If we can save lots Of food. we car
shoot it in straight path across tht
Atlantic to the allies. Thus we save
time and ships, and have more vessels
left for sending more soldiers across
to- Pershing. lt'%tii
If we give him millions of soldiers
we assure the prepOnderance in man
power to the allies. This will WIN
THE WAR IN 1919.
The whole basis of victory rests up
on food and ships. Look at the map
There is wheat in India, and some o1
it was sneaked through the Mediter
ranean to the Italians last year-s
trip of vast hazards because the sea
swarms with U.bdats. That some
| wheat going around Africa to avoid
the Mediterranean travels .1O,6S(
miles.
| =. The Shortest Line.
There's wheat in Australia, But it's
! 1880 miles from Liverpool and $500
miles from San Francisco.
There's wheat in Argentina, but
it's $3.50 miles from Liverpool and 5,
S36 miles from New York. au., d..
That is where our straight line
comes in. It's only 3,036nmiles across
the Atlantic from New York to allied
ports.
In other words, if we want to send
continuous stream Of ships bearing
food to our allies, it requires half as
many ships and half the time from
New York that it would from South
America; one-third the ships and time
it would take from India; and one
fourth the time and ships it would
from Australia.
Increase Our Fleets.
So that feeding the allies with Amer
ican food is like INCREASING our
precious fleets This INCREASE en-
abled us to rush 100000 troops to
the hard pressed allies this spring ana
summer.
1t. Is up to us eaters to say whett-
er we will make it possible to con
tinue to send Pershing 100000 men a
month of whether we will greedily eat
food eat SHIPS and eat the bitter
ashes Of defeat! y
In the year which began September
we must send to our allies 5O0,00O,-
900 bushels of cereals, 100000 lbs.
of fats 100000 bushels of cereals, A.
100000 tons of sugar 90O,00000O lbs.
OF beef for civilians in addition to
meat for the armies and oats for the
army horses. We must supply 80 per
cent of our allies deficit in food.

DIR. GILMORE AND
SOUTH DAKOTAN IN
FOOD PLANT HUNT

Dr. Melvin r. Gilmore. curator of
the North Dakota historical museum.
and DR.. n. E. Hanson, professor of
horticulture at the South Dakota ae-
ricultural college at Brookings, have
left on prospecting tour which will
take them to Elbowoods, on Berthold
reservation, to the Turtle Mountain
reservation of the Chippewas and
across the national boundary into
the Winnipeg country in quest of ma
tive food plants which have been iden-
titled by Dr., Gilmc-c 80 which DR..
Hanson desires to acclimate and adapt
for modern domestic use. The plants
on DIR. Gilmore's list include choke
less choke cherry recently reported
by an ancient Mandan Indian of the
Berthold reservation which is held in
high esteem as a food product. It is
native of the semi-arid regions Of
the great plains. and DIR. Hanson is in
clined to believe that 1t will readily
yield itself to domestication and culti-
vatiOn.

CHICAGO WINS SECOND.

Chicago, Sept. despite the re-
turn of good baseball weather yester.
day, the crowd for the second game
of the worlds seyies between Boston
Red 'Sox and Chicago Cubs was al
most as slow in assembling as
Thursday. Half an hour before game
time, the increased attendance was
visible in only few sections of the
bleachers and stands.
The Eoston men bubbled with
good nature as they went through
their practice stunts. jigging when
the band played rag-time, jostling
their opponents and otherwise
showing their confidence of being
able to repeat Thursdays victory.

Chicago, Sept. with long lines
forming in front of the ticket windows,
and approximately $500 bleacherites
in their seats at noon, indications
were that the first crowds of real
world series magnitude would attend
the game this afternoon between Chi

: Revival of interest was attributed
partly to the Cubs victory yesterday,
leaving the series all square, and with
the perfect weather and the fact that

EVERYONE WORKS
IN. FRANCE
Spirit of Cooperation Excellent
Declare Lieut.. Paul Bertheir
of French Ordnance Engineers

Everyone works and there is a fine
spirit of cooperation among the peo-
pie of France. according to Lieut..
Paul Berthier and other officers Of
the mission Of French ordnance en-
gineers in America, where they are
engaged in important work for the
French Government.
Men. women. and children are all
gladly doing their part to free the
land from the invader. and although
long hours are the rule, there is no
complaint. for everyone realizes that
the task must be accomplished and
that only by supreme exertions will
it be possible.
In the great rush Of the German in
vasion, back in 1914. France. fearing
for her very life. summoned every
man TO arms. This was a mistake,
for munitions factories were denuded
OF their skilled workmen and many OF
them gave their lives in stemming
Won Kluck's sweep toward Paris.
When the realization came that the
munitions factories were hampered
and that their men could serve better
there than in the army. problem was
presented. For these men were al
ready in the army. and not one was
left outside except the men past IS
years of age. those physically unfit,
and a few great specialists. Even the
managers of the shops were in the
fighting line.
The work or fight" rule at once,
therefore. became reality. for men
were sent back from the army TO the
factories only so long as they could
serve better there than in the ranks.
If their work proved unsatisfactory.
they were promptly returned to their
places in the battle line.
France has now found reservoir
of unskilled labor among the German
prisoners. They are used for heavy
work, and Chinese and Senegalese
workers have been imported for sup
plying other labor needs. Women
have shown remarkable adaptabili,y
in the skilled trades, and do some
really remarkable work in the NUM-
tons factories, particularly on shells.
The supply of male skilled labor OF
military age, however, can only be
increased by request to the ministry
OF munitions for the services OF men
a. the front In many factories
wounded soldiers have been employed
adyantaeously on certain work. IN
practice the rule is that men are not
returned to munitions factories unless
they have passed their thirty-hfth
birthday or have served two full years
| in the army.
1T Is not often necessary to send
men back from tn efactories," says
Lieut. Berthier. THE war is a fact
10 every man and woman in France.
We shall have to stop and think whai
we shall do when the war Is ended.
Everyone works for the war Think
what il means that we have made guns
to enable America to enter the night
ing line earlier than she could have
done. Think OF the land, the factories
the coal mines. and, most OF all the
men We have lost 1t is only be
