CHEERFUL Mr.. POST.

The assistant secretary of labor,
like many another gentleman down in
Washington, has figured out with
his paper and pencil that there is
no actual farm labor shortage. 1t
is merely a press-made scare he says,
and the American farmer is the vic
tim of publicity. "Two-thirds of
the farm labor shortage is imagin-
any," says he, land the other third
can be remedied."
Mr.. Posts remedy of the only one
so far the government has been able
to think of--higher wages, shorter
hours, and better living conditions.
He tentatively suggests that all the
idle labor of the cities be rounded
up, placed in comfortable quarters
ron the farm and paid around seventy
dollar month wage, with not over
a ten-hour day. He also thinks that
help should be hired permanently mo
more hiring by the, day" says he.
Converse with few farmers might
assure Mr.. Post. there is an actual
farm-labor shortage, and that the
Communicating Of the idle riff-raff
of the cities for farm work would not
solve the problem. There are other
ways in which Mr.. Posts beautiful
theories would not work, as anyone
conversant with farm s conditions
knows. He does. not believe in the
importation of oriental labor because
"there are plenty of able-bodied men
in America to farm American farms,
and the labor department will see
that they get there. a.. ~ ~.-e'
/. Big words, Mr.. Post. i i-e go
I. Now Mr.. Farmer, all you have to
do is to call on Mr., Post, who will
settle all your difficulties. which he
says you haven't, got, or at least,
are mostly imaginarynsA. Egg ."

Outlining the wheat situation ana
the necessity foR pledging abstinenos
from the use of wheat, Mr.. Hoover
sent the following message to the pee
pie through the churches: Joy.
1.-THE wheat situation is the most
serious in the food supply of the world.
Our harvest was less than estirs
mated. ~ 1sA
Needs Of the allies are greater than
we calculated. 49,
Losses by sea and battle have been
heavier than were anticipated. $50
"Tenser demands on shipping space
restrict ships more than ever to the
shortest haul and the tightest bulk.
I'VE have fallen behind in our pro-
gram. We have eaten further int
our stock of wheat than we should.
There is no margin anywhere.
Near Danger Point.
"The allies stocks of wheat are
down to the danger point. We dare
not stop the flow of wheat over seas.
That would be greater disaster than
the defeat of an army.
I'VE must send wheat and more
wheat. To redeem our obligations to
those who fight for us, and whom we
sent, we must go on a wheatless basis.
Going without wheat is an incon-
venience-nothing worse. 1t is no
hardship, no danger.
Food will win the war! Food today
means first of all wheat.
Perhaps this is the largest contrtr
button we can make
Going without wheat adds directly

challenge most of all to America.
Against Germany's lust for domin-
ion, Americas aim is healing, her ideal
is service
1--WE can hope to contribute most to
the common cause by supplying need
ed food.
Now is the hour of our testing.
Wheat is the test.
May 28th to 30th, 1918, the date Of
the wheatless pledge, may go down in
history as the turning point of the
worlds struggle.

UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION"
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-05-31

An urgent appeal to the American
people to save wheat and wheat prod
ucts until the next harvest and re-
quest that everyone, so far as his cir
cumstances will permit, sign pledge
to abstain from the use of wheat and
wheat products, was issued by Her
bert Hoover through the Church and
Sunday School Division of the Food
Administration for Washington Sun
day.
The following is Mr.. Hoover's mes
sage to the American people:
1.-THE confidence of the United
States Food Administration that the
people of the country would respond
enthusiastically and whole heartedly
upon presentation of the facts to any
necessary requests for reduction In
consumption of food has been fully
justified. We have demonstrated our
ability not only to think together but
to act together. This response OF the
people is the reason for the present
appeal.
Our work is not yet complete in
spite of the encouraging results OF
our efforts. In spite of the fact that
our exports of foodstuffs are constant
ly increasing and are approaching the
minimum requirements abroad, the
need for renewed devotion and effort
is pressing. While all of the require
ments of the food administration
should be constantly observed, there
are certain matters which | desire to
stress at this time.
Need More Meat
"In the case of meat and meat
products, the necessities for shipment
abroad are very great. Whereas the
allied consumption has been reduced
to an average of about one and one
quarter pounds per person per week,
we are today enjoying an average OF
about three and one-quarter pounds
per person per week. This division is
inequitable An understanding OF
these facts will justify our request
that the consumption of all meats, In
Guiding poultry as nearly as possible
be reduced to two pounds per person
over Jour years VI age.
I'm the case of sugar we are en-
barrassed by the necessity of using
ships for carrying our soldiers and
feeding the allies and in consequence
we must use sugar with great econ
omy. We must emphasize the impor-
lance of canning and preserving on a
large scale among our people this sum
mer and our available sugar must be
conserved for this purpose,
But the situation with regard to
wheat is the most serious in the food
supply of the allied world. If we are
to satisfy the minimum wheat require
ments of our armies and the allies and
the suffering millions in the allied
countries our consumption of wheat In
the United States until the next har'
vest must be reduced to approximately
one-third of normal. 1t is inconceiv-
able that we should fail in this crisis.
For each of us who can personally
contribute to the relief of human suf-
fering IL is a privilege, not sacrifice
All elements of our population cannot
bear this burden equally. Those en-
gagged in physical labor need a larger
bread ration than those in sedentary
occupations. Because of the constant

 The disposition of European 1ur- key and the Dardaneiles IS ques- ton brought suddenly to the front py the armlsJlce which has ended Fur keys career as an ally of Germany. One thing IS regarded nere as virtual ly certaln-the Dardanelles will nev- CT again be under the domination of Turkey. Great Britain and France are determined upon this and the American government has voiced it's approval oI their position.
 In some quarters, the belief prevails that the Dardanelles will be lnterna- tionallzed, thus opening the Black Sea to the commerce of the wordl and giving Russia an outlet to the Medi- terranean.

 the armies in the north and those on the Venetian plains.
 Over the plais leading toward the Austrian frontier at the lsonZo river the invaders everywhere are in full flight with the allied troops press ing them hard. Here the debacle seems to be complete. The enemy in his flight is leaving behind large num- bers of guns and great quantities of war stores as he endeavors to reach the passages over the Tagliamento river.
 On the western battle front there is still little fighting of a violent char acter but the intensive operations of the airmen seem to presage an early return of battles of major importance.
 In the Serbian theatre the Austro- Hungarian eastern army has succeed ed in outdistancing the Serbians and reaching their home territory across the Danube. In Mesopotamia the Turkish army which for so long held up the British in their attempts to proceed up the Tigris river, which lately as been suffering severe de- feats, has surrendered in its entirety to the British commander.
 Through the dection of Turkey the plight fthe Teutonic allies becomes a critical one. The gateway to the eastern boundaries of Germany and Hungary is opened the way of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, and doubtless shortly allied fleets will invade the Black Sea and begin opera tions in this heretofore unattainable region. Such war ships as the Ger mans have afloat in the Black Sea, in cluding the Russian Black Sea fleet will prove no barrier to the mighty floating fortresses the entente can impose against them.

generals letter says:
 Agreeing substantially as 1 do, with the statement of facts made by udec Hughes, l am of opinion that it cannot fairly be charged that a managin gofficer of any contracting corporation has desired or attempt ed to delay production or been act uated by disloyal motives"
 MT. Hughes, in his report referred to the retention by Henry Ford Of Earl Emede as chief of his drafting department, despite charges of pro- German utterances against Emede. After hearing complaints against Emde, Mir. Ford's reasons for keep ing Emde were set forth in minutes O.? the proceedings, saying:
 He (Mr. Ford) felt that it was a time of acrifice-that ill the next few years every man would be called upon Co make some sort of sacrifice, and that possibly MT. Emde, German bern, was making his sacrifice now when making drawing for the Lib- crty motor to be used ultimately against Germany"
 Mr. Hughes added that this indi- cated "laXity at the Ford plant with respect to those of German sym pathies which was not at all com patible with the interest; of the government"
 Among the principal charges which !Mr Hughes report declared substan- tia:ed in part, were that there was delay in getting model planes from the allies, and in preparing speci- ficstions for their reproduction; that plans were frequently changed both oa airplane types and on the Lib erty motor; that some manufacturers well qualified for production, failed to receive contracts, while others poorly prepared were given orders; that many plants engaged in air plGne manufacture lacked knowledge and experience; and that in pushing fo: speed production. confusion and waste occurred in plants.
 As for actual results the report states that up to October II, 9.674 airpianes were built, of which 2,1S7 were for elementary training, 2,137 were for advanced training, and 2.SS5e were for observation and bomb ing service. In the same time. 24, 672 engines had been finished of which 9,6S9 were Liberty motors.
