"We Ravarians are not in any way
in opposition to the interests OF the
peoples whom we are fighting. On
the contrary, France, for example,
has notably favored our country and
our people during the course of his
tory. Among the governments that
are our opponents in this war, not
one has as one of its war aims the
extinction OF orr country. But the
war hinges entirely, and with good
right, against Prussia, which, with
the Russia OF other days. is the most
corrupt state in Europe. The sons
Of Bavaria sacrifice their lives by
hundreds of thousands for this Prus-
sia, for this country which few
decades ago. in 1866. took away a
part OF our territory and an enor-
nous war indemnity.
Can Expect Nothing.
And even ii it were possible to
be victorious, what can our coun-
try, what may We Bavarians expect
from such a victory? As little as
nothing.
'All TIE precious Bavarian blood,
all the mourning, the stirring, hor-
rible suffering OF our compatriots,
OF our women and our children, all
the lives sacrificed and ruined and
all the material losses; all of that
has gone for nothing! All the sac
risces have been without object
they haven't even been for the de-
tense of our country, for it has not
been menaced. but merely have been
for the conservation OF Prussian
power. In addition, as allies OF
Prussia, we have drawn upon us the
hatred and disapprobation OF the
entire world.
"CompatriotS, the hour has come
when We must reflect whether we
wish to continue on to utter loss, or
whether we want to unite in an et-
fort to save what may yet be saved.

French Aumen Sou Freedom
Literature on German Soil

Paris, May 26.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press) French
aviators are dropping behind the
German lines and upon German
cities and towns thousands OF copies
OF an appeal written by Bavarian
urging his compatriots to protest
against Prussian tyranny and au-
tocracy.
The document was found recently
on Bavarian prisoner OF war cap
tured Dy the French. In it the writer
places upon Emperor William the
guilt of the war and expresses other
sentiments against Prussian militar-
ism well known to exist in Bavaria,
despite frequent official testimonials
OF alleged solidarity and units be-
tween both the German states.
AS its circulation in Germany is,
OF course, prohibited, the French
authorities undertook its distribu-
ton by air route. Some copies ac-
cidentlv have fallen on the French
lines. The document reads:
"Bavarians, Compatriots.
The frightful misery which be-
cause cf the war has spread also to
Bavaria, and which is leading our
Bavarin people TO almost certain
ruin, imposes upon us the sacred
duty Of thinking OF the welfare OF
our country and our compatriots.
"Who is it that has led us to this
abyss OF perdition Let us be
frank 1t is not presumptuous enc
mics! 1t is not the English and the
French. Neither is the other coun-
tries that we call the entente. The
guilty ones, one can say in all con-
science today, are solely and only
the PrusSians, or more precisely,
there is but one guilty party-the
king OF Prussia. The official asser-
tion tha. our adversaries started the
war against us and menaced us, us
and our own. is falsehood.
Now the king of Prussia has the
right. IN the name of Bavaria, to de-
clare war and make peace.
What Atrocious Misery.
What the atrocious misery this
country suffers signihes-a misery
that shouts to heaven-must make
us realize it cruelty. Prussia, by its
absolutist political situation, IS
obliged to go tc war at longer or
shorter periods, if for nothing else
than 10 sustain the interests OF its
dominating clique. The history OF
Prussia is one OF continual war with
more or less lengthy Interruptions.

(hobereauX) already talking, despite
the terrible misery, of the next war,
The present war, also, is not at
all in the interests OF Bavaria, but
is solely gamble for the power OF

its agrarians.

FLYING DAY ON

American Seaplane Training
Camp, Italy, May 27.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press -
A flying day on the beach here, with
the roaring OF the engines OF dozens
of seaplanes overhead, on the water,
starting out or returning, with cries
of command in two or three Ian
guages, presents stirring picture.
Life and death hang in the bal

SO soon as he camp commander

millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hcnd, need
not figure in such q map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany, Germany probably can care
for her own food problem if she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, al. Of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.

gions, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes it's toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. AL
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton Of food which can be han
died through our ports This means at
the very least minimum of 2O,OOO,O0O
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S2O,OOO tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or if we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threa tened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine Should this
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

A food map of Europe today shows
not single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
we'll as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie OF the United States. America has
for -four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
safter-the-war needs, which, with those
OF Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
gnust have Immediate relief.

KEEP! PLEDCE
TO send BREAD.
American Nation Maintained AZ
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
.AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.


Il. Since the advent OF the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July i
and October 10 we shipped 65,98O,3O
bushels If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237 100000 bushels of wheat and
flour In terms of wheat.
The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton Of hOstilities we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf at the com
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep q
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
100000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of bread
famine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the first
Of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only if we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July / could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response Of the American peo.
pie was. $4,000, 900 bushels safely deliv.
cred overseas between January l and
July l. Out Of harvest which gave
us only 20,0O0OOO bushels surplus we
actually shipped III, OOO,O 900 bushels
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.
