WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Food Ad- ministrator Hoover, in outlining the food conservation program recommend ed for the American people during the coming year, said the United States was prepared to ship 5.730,000 more tons of foodstuffs to it's armies and allies than last year and still have a margin over the amount necessary to maintain health and strength at home.
 The great undertaking cannot be ac- complished, however, Mir Hoover em- phasized without due regard to the inn portance of saving by every person.
 Sees Wars End Next Summer
 With no prospect as he saw it. of a proper ending of the war before the summer campaign of 1919. the food problem. the food administrator de- clared. is no small part of the issue. The allied civilians and armies, the American armies the Belgian relief and certain neutrals who are dependent upon the United States, will require 17,o60. 900 tons of foodstuffs for the year beginning July l. This. in round num- bers. will include meats and fats, g. 600,000 tons; breadstuffs 10, 100000; su- gar. 1,S5O,000 and feed grains-mostly army oats. 2,700.O00.
 No Food RatIonIng There will be no food rationing in 1 this country so long as the people con- tinue to conserve as in the past, Hoover said.
 "Of our imports" he said, i've shall apparently have sufficient sugar to maintain the present consumption and l take care of the extra drain of the al- l lies from our markets. instead of com | polling them to send their ships to the Far East. We can secure in sailing vessels the coffee We need, if no one makes an overbrew
 Must Reduce Waste | Of our own products we must secure a reduction in consumption and waste | in the two great groups of first, bread stuffs. and second, meats and fats that is. in all bread and cereals, beef pork, poultry, dairy and vegetable oil products.
 | The average consumption of oul people of breadstuffs amounts to about six pounds per week and of meats anC | fats to four pounds a week for eact person. A reduction in consumption of less than one-half pound per weel per person in each of these two grea groups of foods would accomplish oul purpose.
 No CurtaiIment of Milk
 We wish to emphasize, however that we do not want curtailment in tn, use of milk for children.
 Some of our homes, by reason o limited income cannot now provid, more food than they have to have tt maintain health in the family. They cannot rightfully be asked to make tn, suggested reduction in consumption But the great majority of our home. can do more than suggested
 We need even greater simplicity O living than last year.
 Ask More Strict Program
 We estimate that nearly 5000 .O0i people eat at our public eating place hotels, restaurants, boarding houses clubs, dining cars and so forth. Tn food consumption in these places i larger than in the average homes. w are asking the proprietors and employe of these institutions to undertake il many particulars more strict program than last year, and we are confiden that they will willingly do this"
