scribing the food.
The new regulations affect hotels,
restaurants, dining cars, clubs, and
other places where food is sold 20 be
consumed on the premises. In a
message to the managers of such
establishments the Food Administra-
tor fully explains the food situation
with reference 20 the war, and tells
what the people of the United States
must do in the way of saving food
in order to make good the pledge
which, authorized by the Presiden.,
he gave to the Allies at the recent
conference of food controllers.
There is no prospect of a proper
ending of the war before the cam
paign of the summer of 1919" says
Mr.. Hoover. ITO attain victory we
must place in France three and half
million fighting men with the great
est mechanical equipment that has
ever been given to any army While
we expect the position on the Wes-
tern front may be improved, from a
military poin. of view, between now
and then, there can be no hope of a
contamination of the end that we
must secure until another year has
gone by"
The Food Administrator poin' out
that this accomplishment in 1919 will
save a host of American lives that
will have to be sacrificed if the war
continues until 1919. To strike the
final blow in 1919 means that we must
not only find the men, shipping and
equipment for this gigantic army, but
that our own army, the Allied armies
and the civil population of the Allied
countries must, in the meantime, have
ample food if their strength is to be
main aimed. I'VE can do all these
things" he leclares. "and / believe we
can bring this business to an end If
every man, woman and child in the
Uni ed States tests every action every
day and hour by the one touchstone
Does this or that contribute to win
ming the the WARP"
I'VE must appreciately decrease our
own Imports of food, notably sugar,
coffee, an tropical fruits" he says,
and points out that while our wheat
production this year is better than
last, our production of other cereals
is less, and our resources are no
greater than last year. However "
he says, lit is possible for us to give
Europe it's vastly increased require
ments and at the same time have a
margin over the quantity necessary
to maintain our own health and
strength"
The Food Administrator finds we
shall apparently have sufficient sugar
to take care of the present rae OF
consumption and to provide for the
extra drain of the Allies, and suffi-
cient coffee if wastefulness in brew
ing the beverage is eliminated. OF
our own produces there must be a
reduction in consumption and waste
of foodstuffs and of meats and fats
that is to say, pork, beef, poultry
dairy products and vegetable-oil pro-
ducts. Stress is laid, however, upon
the fact that the Food Administrator
does not wish curtailment in the use
of milk for children.
Patriotic propiretors of public eat
ing places demand enforcible rules for
their own protection against the
Stacker in their business. The Fed
eral Food Administrators of the va

ders against those not sufficiently pa
triotic to follow them voluntarily
