VIC 3IOlI8lcO.
We have just held q great naval and
military meet at Madison Square Gar
den, where large sum was raised for
this remarkable unit. which has sailed
to do such valuable work in France.
Every person In II, even to the plumb
ers and mechanics, are women, and
they volunteered for dangerous service.
Other branches Of our war service
have been an intensive food conserva-
ton campaign and the War-Savings
Stamps campaign. In al this active
patriotic work we feel inspired with
the thought Of our own chairman,
Mrs. Norman der. whitehouse, abroad
on an important government mission
and many others Of the rank and file
Of our women who are engaged in de-
voted service "over there"
citissNship Schools.
Another interesting branch Of our
work IL the great university extension
tf citizenship. Schools are being held
throughout the state under our Educa-
tional Committee.
Another line Of work In that Of our
Intelligence Committee. which lists Of
ficials of all political parties and all
men in every township and county in
the state who have run or are to run
for Office. It Ii believed this commit
tee will become extremely intelligent
as time goes on, and its intelligence
will react on the civic welfare of the
state most tellingly.
Our Americanization Committee has
issued some very effective and educa-
tional literature and II organizing In
every center and community where
there are foreign groups.
Maintaining Morale.
We realize that great part Of ma
tion's war time sflcisicy II in keeping
life normal and efacisat at home. In
the last analysis that nation which
keeps most nearly steady and normal
in its industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for 1t.
The work Of the Rural Problems
- VI RoA shNSioA sss
terest in this publication which Is be-
ing sent out by the National Security
League. Very few people in the ceun-
try have stopped to realize how in our
body polite the rural committees are
Disseminated against in the matter OF
socializing forces. Our great cities
have their amusements, their munich
pal halls and baths, their community
kitchens, their public libraries and lee
ture courses and innumerable settle
ments and clubs where people are
drawn together and stimulated men,
tally and spiritually. We feel that
some of these advantages should be
brought to the country districts. {.

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE.
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People q
the United States Averted
Famine at Home in Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people OF the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the iniunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administrations this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great Anxiety TO tnOSe IdInllldr WIN
the sugar situation. They feared that
it would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would, no longer be mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments OF the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. By it we have been able
to bridge over the period Of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in position 30
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
tion.

Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply of White
Bread.

OvershadOwing all other accomplish.
ments Of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
Is the history of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength Of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight Of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
Is eased by the stopping of large move
ments of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The ac-
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table Of the peO-
pies OF democracy.
We entered tho past crop year with
q wheat supply which gave us only
10000, 900 bushels available for e.
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent al 100000 bushels OF wheat
to Europe The American people had
saved out OF their normal consumption
III, 100000 bushels.
A survey Of export figures shows
hot bo -
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution In our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 100000
barrels Of white f1nur-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST Of December our sur
plus had gone overseas and an addi-
tional 36,000O00 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies 1t seem
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 1O0,00O,OOO
bushels by July l. But IN January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 75,00O,OOO |
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending $4,000, 900 BUSH
els of wheat, saved from their homo
between the first Of the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
By October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped 65,960,305 bushels since July
/. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. II exports continue At the
present rate, by July l Of next year
we will have sent more than 2S7 &c.,
100 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good Americas
pledge that the bread rations Of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light Of succeeding events 1T
Is interesting to recall the confidence
with which, the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Even though the situation In Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" be de-
clared in a public statement mo

results already obtained in every d.
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
