WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. %
Lamb and mutton may be eaten
on "meatless days" until April 15
The food administration in
making this announcement today
indicated clearly there is no chance
for lifting the ban" on beef and
pork, however.
Since November 1, the food
administration declar Is,
Americas beef exports to the
allies have amounted to less
than five per cent Of the total
cattle slaughtered. The per
capita consumption Of beef
and pork during 1917 i'm
creased over that of pre-war
days.
Beef and pork must be left of
the menu on meatless days in
definitely, it is indicated. Rations
in Europe, the food administration
explains have been reduced to ap-
proximately one pound of meat
per capita a week, or less than SO
per cent of the American consump-
tion.
European rations today are sc
low as to tend to diminish the
morale and resistance of tho al
lies" Hoover. declared.
Situation Alarming
Throwing aside the secrecy
which for weeks has covered a rap
idly developing world food crisis
Hoover laid bare the alarming
seriousness of the situation.

| by Hoover. Food deliveries are
short. Corn and potatoes are rot
ting. Some districts are virtually
on the verge of famine because OF
exhausted food reserves.
Hoover's startling revelations,
known here confidentially for
some time, are intended, it is be-
lieved, to spur on the railroads,
the ships and the American public
to get behind the food administra-
ton and push thru the food that
will win the war.
The situation characterized by
Hoover as the most serious in his
tory is briefly as follows, accord
ing to Hoover's statement:
The next 60 days will be the
most critical in our food history.
BY February 20 we will be short
AZ, 100000 bushels in cereals
promised to the allies.
Frantic Appeals
This deficiency Is due solely to
railway congestion.
Laws of supply and demand are
suspended by interrupted flow of
distribution. Food reserves in
consuming areas are approaching
exhaustion.
Movement of food over the ma
tional railways to the practical ex-
clusion of much other commerce is
the only solution.
Hoover's statement follows re-
ports of anxiety over the food sit
uation from Lord Reading, British
ambassador and frantic appeals
from heads Of, italian government

action.
