Food Sacrifices of
America Wo, Hearts
of French People

Cedar Falls. June IT, Mrs. Francis
E. Whitley. OF Webster City, chairman
Of the woman's committee OF the United
States food administration for Iowa,
who returned recently from Philadel-
pha, said in an interview here that
she learned while east that the enthusi-
asm Of the French people with respect
to the entrance Of America into the war
was first really aroused when they be-
came convinced that our people would
give up food in order to supply the
armies Of the allies.
This information came to me-" said
Mrs. Whitley, from a man OF very
great prominence in public and bust
ness aaffairs who had special familiarity
with war conditions in France who was
not connected with the food admins
tration. who disclosed to the friends
whom / visited in Philadelphia that
while the French view with great In
terest and approval our preparations
on an enormous scale for the construc-
ton Of the American army establish
ment in France, the thing that really
impressed them and convinced them
that we were actually in the war. was
the news that our people were vo!un-
tarily sacrificing their normal supplies
of food In order to keen the civilian
population of our allies from want.
The German Lie.
THE French had been told by the
Germans that we would probably pour
. lot Of our enormous stock OF money
into the war but that we would not
make any real sacrifice and the French,
while they appreciated what we were
doing in using some of our endless re-
sources in building immense depots and
docks and railroads and other equip
ment for our military establishment
over there. were not convinced that we
would go the limit until we began de-
priving ourselves of our usual food in
order to help the common cause.
They Knew 1t.
when the news reached them that
our people had voluntarily cut down
their rations they were at last Impress
ed with the fact that we were will
ing to make what ever sacrifices were
necessary to win 1t. That is the thing
that put heart into the French at a
critical time. Then of course. our SOL
der boys began marching through the
roads Of France and the streets OF It's
grief ridden villages and the conviction
that we would do our full part. first
carried into their hearts by our sacri-
fees Of food. was confirmed"

MUST CURB CRITICISM.
Crime to Talk Against Red Cross and
Other War Organizations.

Minneapolis. June 17.-Language
slandering the Red Cross and other
war activities is held by the state
under the 19l7-law against discourag-
ing enlistments. The. decision. it is be-
lieved. may lead to other indictments
The decision is taken by attorneys to
indicate that the Red Cross, Y. NJ. c.
A., knights Of Columbus and other
similar war activity organizations are
to be regarded as a part Of the war
machine Of the United States. and that
any derogatory remarks against them
may be regarded as detrimental to the
prosecution Of the war.
The ruling Is in the case of George
w. Freerks, Of Ortonville, who de-
INJURED to the Indictment against him
and appealed from the district court
order overruling the demurrer. The
court holds that the language attrib-
uted to Freerks constitutes a public
offense. He is accused OF saying on

Thus letter from patriotic Ger

that the German people are much per-

western front. There Is also an effort
afoot to convince the people that the

action of our submarines Is directly

not change the situation"
The Weser Zeitung says Frances APP

have more confidence in the American
army than in Foch's. The paper points
out that the scissors offensive closed

that the Germans could not have chosen
a better way to stir up the war spirit
in America.
The Weser Zeitung says that this

zeppelins in England, and Wilson
talks Of unlimited force. The paper
says that only the German sword has
taught Germanys enemies modesty.
