THE PROGRAM OF VICTORY

Atlanta, Ga.-As the great victory
SO grows humanity's demand which
can be answered by but one nation on
earth. The responsibility of it falls
upon the Food Administration, and
through that branch of the govern
ment of our country, upon the people
the great Home Army"
For the rest of the war, America
is under double obligation of food
conservation We must send provis-
ions to sustain the armies and the AL
lies. We must, so far as we can,
share, the extra burden they have TAX
en- on themselves to insure victory.
The first part is plain. If they are not
fed they cannot fight, their essential
supplies of wheat, meat, fats and SUI
gar must come more than ever from
the United States.
The second part is less familiar. For
the sake of victory, they have again
cut down their margin of comfort; we
are bound more than ever, to see that
if their food is less palatable there
shall be an ample margin of nourish-
ment.
What is it they have done? When
the Inter-allied Food Council met last
summer, the program of victory was
laid down; to-wit America would add
to their forces so many men that Ger
many would certainly be overpower-
ed in 1919 Only one thing was lack
ing. There were not ships enough;
they could not be built fast enough
to carry out this program; it could be
completed in only one way-by draw
ing ships from other routes to ferry
men and equipment and supplies
across the Atlantic.
That meant giving UP by the Al
lies, of all but bare necessities. These
necessities America agreed to furnish
in sufficient supply, the comforts, the
Allies agreed to forego; to cut down
still further their margin of comfort
after four years of privation.
Without demur, the Allies agreed to
the program. Stripping their COM
MERGE to the bone, they found mil
lion tons of cargo space to divert to
the army program, the program of
victory.
America, in turn, is obligated to
furnish the necessaries in place of the
goods these ships would have brought
from other sources-the necessaries
to maintain health, comfort and cour-
age.
To carry out the food program to
which the United States is thus COM
mitted, the food exports of last year
must be increased by fifty per cent.
1t can be done without serious priva-
ton; it cannot be done without self
denial of all the people. Once more,
for those who sit at common table
with us, the American people are ask
ed to make a sacrifice less than theirs.

display will be educational; it will have
live specimens of the best breeds in
all worthwhile varieties. The Florida
State Fair and Exposition Association
being a member of the American
Poultry Association, the rules of that
organization will govern in the matter
of exhibits and the awarding of prizes,
assuring a high standard for both.

Uncle Sam urges the saving of $751;

throwing away eggs that have not kept

variety.

SPECIALIZED CLERKS URGENTLY
NEEDED

Washington, d. c. June ID; 191S.-
Expert clerical work has more I'M
pOrtant place in the Governments war
organization than most people realize.
we all know that the war can not be
won in the trenches alone; that an
effective establishment at home is vital
to the success of the biggest job ever
undertaken by any nation; but the full
extent to which the specialized clerk
is needed is perhaps not generally I'M
derstOOd. And it is i'll this class OF
work that women have the best oppor-
tunity to be of real service to the Gov
eminent at this time.
In the national capital alone the civ
Ilian force increased from 10000 to
nearly $4,000 during the first year OF
our participation in the war. Nine
tenths of the new employees are clerks
of one kind or another, and fully
three-fourths of them are women.
$4,000 stenOgraphers and typists are at
work constantly in the Government
offices at Washington on the tons OF
correspondence and records made neces-
sary by war preparations on a scale
such as the world has never before
known.

BIG CROWDS SEE AMERICAN
BASE BALL IN LONDON

las the latest wonder of the world
London has taken to baseball" says a
committee on Public Information rep
resentative in London. 1.-THE English
never before had much use for our
great game. They called it an eXag-
gerated form of FOUNDERS and wondered
what the noise was all about, but the
American and Canadian soldiers in
England have been educating them.
"a regular league of eight teams has
started summer schedule, and the
English public is learning what it has
missed. Big crowds witness the game
which is played every Saturday, and
the sport bids fair to become widely
popular. Here is the way Thomas
Burke, the short-stOry writer, reports
a game in the London Star of May ~:
"'Last week / discovered baseball.

w teams was my first glimpse of a

lieve me, it's the good goods. And the

fans, bristling with megaphones and
tossing hate and demOniac faces,

1.-The game got hold of me before
the first pitched ball. The players in
their hybrid costumes and huge
gloves, the catcher in his gas mask,
they practiced runs shook me with eX-
element Then the game began and
the roofing began. In past years
have attended various football mat
ches in mining districts where the
players came in for certain amount
of raging but they were church SER
vices compared with the furious abuse
and hazing handed to any unfortunate
who failed to play ball.

got an error he sure handed the Navy
