how little of it we got back to the

no use arguing with them, unless you
can put them out on a farm and compel
them to make their living and live on

Austrian Food Crisis
Declared Almost Over

AMSTERDAM, July 81. The food
crisis in Austria is almost overcome
and presumably will never recur, says
Food Minister Paul, according to the
"Neue Freie Presse," of Vienna. He
says that harvest prospects are prom
islng and that the situation, especially
as to fodder, is better than in the pre-
vious year. Cattle have sufficient fod-
der. SO that the prospects of an au-
tumn supply of milk and meat are
better than hitherto. A note of warn
ing, however, is sounded by the min
ister who says:
There must be the greatest econ
omy. The food department will make
an effort to have sufficient supplies
for the whole population of Austria

his work, and by faithful and eff
cient service to justify the large in
creases Of pay and the improvement
in working conditions here granted.
The American people have a right to
expect this, and they will be content
with nothing less
at is of the utmost Importance that
motive power and cars shall be kept in
repair, and that the output of rail
road shops throughout the country
shall be greatly increased in the fut-
ure. Unless this is done the railroads
cannot efficiently perform the in
creased duties imposed upon them by
the war. and the fighting power of our
armies in France. and of our navies on
the high seas will be seriously i'm
paired.
Il am proud of the loyal service the
great body of railroad men throughout
the country have rendered to their
government since the railroads have
come under Federal control. 1t is
genuine pleasure to make this acknowl-
edgment, but l should not fail to say
at the same time that there are in
stances where agitations and disturb
ances in some of the locomotive and
car shops have been extremely hurtful
to the country. The loyal and patri-
otic employees, who constitute the great
majority of the army of railroad work
ers, have not yielded, be it said to their
credit and honor, to these disturb
ances. But the few who have, have
done their country a grievious injury
by impairing the efficiency and reduc-
ing the output of the shops where
these disturbances have occurred.
Wants Slackers Exposed
'The loyal employees can render a
new and powerful service to their coun-
try by using their influence to expose
any who may become slackers in their
work, by cooperating with their officers
in the enforcement of discipline and
by increasing, to the utmost limit of
their capacity the output of locomo-
tives and cars, which are SO essential
to the the efficient operation of the
railroads of the country and to the
success of our armies in the field.

and devotion to duty of every true
