1 Alaska gave out the following state. ment this morning. directed particular ly to the house wives of Alasl1a.
 The plain blunt statement of Lord Rhonda, British Food Controller, brings every woman in every household to the turning of the roadways. Careless or thoughtless observance or neglect of the food administration appeal to save wheat and other es- sentiai food is the way of the least resistance and if we follow that way we cannot win the war, and the name less horrors and sufferings of the wo- men and children in Flanders. North ern France and Italy. Poland and Ser bia will be repeated in America.
 The destruction wrought by vesu- vius and Mount Pelee arc thousand times preferable to the tortures ad- ministered in the name of Prussian- ism.
 This seventy five million bushels of wheat must come from the kitchens of our land-your own kitchens. It will come only if you women give to the problem of saving wheat your thoughtful, earnest, patient endeavor. You mny be working in Red Cross. have sent husband, son or brother to the front, bought Liberty Bonds with your savings. Those are splendid, but you haven't done with the fight.
 This is a day of infinite care and painstakng. This Is your thoughtful, earnest, own special personal problem If all your time Is occupied with other activities, discontinue some now and turn your thoughts to saving food in the kitchen. If you are saving food now, save still more food.
 Tt does not matter what friends and neighbors do: you arc responsible for your own kitchen and the food you and family eat. Your other activities are useless and wasted if you don't save food
 Do you care for those who have gone out to fight? Then don't sacrifice them to satisfy your family's palate or that you may have more time for something else.
 To-day and until the end of the war. this is the primarily important work for us who stay at home. 1 Tt is your problem. Make it your individual work. whether you work in your kitchen or someone works for you.

 U. s. Food Administration this morn- ing released the following cable from Lord Rhonda, Food Controller of Great Britian.
 Unless you are able to send the allies at least seventy five million bush- els of wheat over and above what you have exported up to Jan. first, in ad- dition to the total exportable surplus from Canada, cannot take the re- sponsibility of assuring people that there will be flour enough to win the war.
 Imperative necessity compels mo to cable you in this blunt way No one knows better than that the American people, regardless of national and in- dividual sacrifice, have so far refused nothing that is needed for the war, but 1t now lies with Americans to decide whether or not the allies in Europe shall have enough bread to hold out until the United States is able to throw it's forces into the field
 I have not minced words because I am convinced that the American peo- pie, if they know the truth, will not hesitate to meet the emergency"
