KAISER'S CONFIDENCE

l have referred in a previous chapter to the Kaisers unbounded confidence after the Italian collapse in 1917. Nov, we've got the allies!" he exclaimed, with an air of conclusiveness which empha- sized the optimism he displayed.
 After the capture of Rumania, he ex- hibited similar degree of exultation. He believed that in that achievement he had successfully solved the food problem the one cloud which constantly darkened the kaiser's horizon.
 Now the allies will never succeed in starving us," he said to me, in my office, shortly after the Rumanian drive. With Rumania ill our pockets and Serbia al- ready ours, their wonderful agricultural possibilities will supply our food needs and ifoil our enemies efforts to starve us. Indeed, they had better look out for themselves. Don't forget we have a monopoly on the potash mines of the world Without proper fertilization, American crops will so on decreasing and decreasing and they won't get any potash until we get ready to let them have iti"

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food AdmlnIstra'
tion, Provide Seven Extra LoaVes
Of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the q.
8. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures Of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re.
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.-the estimated average
In normal times-tO the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh
ing machines were stopped until the
cause Of waste was removed, But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of compulslon were com
paratlvely rare. The Food Admins.
tration freely attributes the success Of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher
men and their crews. incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions Of dollars "in pocket"
as a result Of the grain saved.

To the voluntary service and sacrl.
fee Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil popVlace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac

months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program.
the magnitude Of which Is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of II, $780,
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed BY
America, 1t would have been impos-
sible for them to maintain their o.
fenss against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ.
racy is success ana that in time Of
need it will rise to Its own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that It
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
In the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Aany thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, "Gnd the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months In the fear that demo.
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that It could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d.
reetlons and upon the mere word Of
Inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage Of our Army and finances"
The history Of the Food Administers
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in demOc.
racy has not been misplaced.
