The following statement on the

THE success OF this program rests
on the honor and cooperation of the
American people. What are they do
ing now? We hear of people going
from store to store. trying 20 double
their portion over and over. They
don't realize they are trying to beat
the game, That is failure Of the pro-
gram.
How was II in the wheat cam
paign? People everywhere vieng
with one another in zeal to play the
game. That was success.
"Our success in the wheat campaign
literally held the allies together
through the spring and summer. II
did more than any other thing to
give them comfort and courage until
the tide turned last month. 1t did
more than any other performance Of
ours to establish American credit un-
til the splendid part of our troops

SECRET COMPACT
RUMORIS DENIED

LONDON. Aug. 1T.-The attention
Of the Ministry of Information mas
been called to a rumor that the fresh
calling up OF farm laborers for mill
tarv service Is due to pressure from
the United States government, and 1t
has been further rumored that the
United states insisted that every
able-bodied man under the age OF 40
years should he called up Tor the
army. Additional weight has been
given these rumors by the suggestion
that Prime Minister Lloyd George
when he said in a recent speech,
We must live up to our contract
with America" was alluding to a Sc
cret understanding Of this nature be-
tween the American and British gov
ernmeuts.
THE Ministry or Information Is
able to state with authority that there
is no truth whatever in these re-
ports" says Reuters. Limited. The
United states has made no claim In
respect to British man power as has
been suggested.
when Mir. Lloyd George referred
to our contract with America he had
in mind the moral obligation of Great
Britain not t. relax her efforts ow-
ing TO the entry of the United states
INTO the war. America declared war
tn defeat the menace to civilization
and 10 the ideals which both Amer
leans and Brtuns have in common.
Both nations are putting out their
fun efforts to- this end in complete
co-operatiuu hut with no interference
