PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To. the voluntary service and sacri-
flee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
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 11,S2O,'
600 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, it would have been impos-
sible for them to maintain their de,
fense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy is success ana that in time OF
need 1t will rise to it's own defense,
If there were no other accomplish.
ment to it's credit the very fact that 1t
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.
rMany thinking Americana" said
Mr.. Hoover, "and the whole world
have been watching an1iously 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.
rections and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage Of our Army and finances.

LLOYD GEORGE INSISTS KAISER
AND HENCHMEN BE PUNISHED
Premier Scores Those Guilty of
Starting Conflict. War Was Crime,
Frightful, Terrible Crime, He
Declares. Punishment for Pris-
on Officials Demanded.

London, Dec. TN the detailed
restatement of his policy, issued by
Premier Lloyd George Thursday call
ing for the trial and punishment OF
the men responsible for the war
however, high their place, he pledged
the entire influence of the British
government at the peace conference
to see that justice was done.
In declaring for the expulsion and
exclusion Of all enemy aliens from
British soil, the premier pointed out
that a considerable proportion OF
enemy residents in the United King
dom during the war had abused Brit
sh hospitality and thus had forfeit
ed their claims to remain.
In his statement, the premier, af-
ter paying a warm tribute to the SOL
diers and sailors of the empire, said;
"The kaiser must be prosecuted.
The war was a crime. Who doubts
that? 1t was a frightful; terrible
rhine. It was crime in the way in
which it was planned and in the de-
liberate wantonness with which it
vas provoked. It also was crime
in the invasion of a helpless little
tate and in the wicked and most
brutal treatment of that little state.
Remember the treaty of neutrality,
he scrap Of paper" >....
Surely the war was a crime. The
fact that all these iniquitous things
were done in the name of war and
under the imperial edict of an auto
crat does not change their nature.
The war was a hideous, abominable
'rime, a crime which has sent mil
lions of the best young men Of Eu-
rope to death and mutilatfon and
has plunged myriads of homes into
desolation. =.
els no one responsible? Is no one
to be called to account? Is there to
be no punishment? Surely that is
neither Gods Justice, nor mans. The
men responsible for this outrage on
the human race must not be let off
because their heads were crowned.

to destroy, and much as regret that,
it is impossible to have free inter-
course between all nations, hold we
are up against the events Of the last
few years, for which Germany alone
is responsible, and she must abide the
consequences. ...
GAIL the European allies have ac-
cepted the. principle that the central
powers must pay the cost of the war
up to the limit of her capacity. The
allies propose to appoint committee
of experts to examine the best meth
cd of exacting the indemnity"

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THREsHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Admlnlstra'
tlon, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
ods 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 U.
s. 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
3k per cent-the estimated average
In normal dmes-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh.
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the Official
recommendations for accomplishing
tho results desired.
In numerous instances drivers OF
racks with 1eaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip

cause Of waste was removed. But ir

OF course the destruction of the ball

the reason of doubts as to the league S
