A war department statement today
shows that soldiers stationed in this
country have about five times more
butter than oleomargarine, while in
France the quantities of butter and
oleomargarine are about equal, owing
to the greater difficulty in obtaining a
high grade butter.

LIBERTY MOTOR.
BUT SENATE BODY DEPLOREs
DELAY IN ADOPTING ENGINE
TO BATTLE PLANES.

Washington, Aug. 27.-One Of the
brightest spots in the history of air
craft production in the United States
since. the war, according to the special
Investigating committee of the Sen
ate committee on military affairs, is
the Liberty motor.
This motor, the report of the COM
mittee, wqich was submitted today,
says, "has been approved by our allies
who are anxious to get it in such
quantities that we are unable to sup
ply them" The report continues:
In the development of this motor,
the aircraft board has performed an
important task, but the notion that j:
could be used for planes of all sizes
and character was largely responsible
for delays in our plane production.

is FORMIDABLE TASK

Motor production has proved to he
a formidable task, magniied in some
degree by the reluctance of the de-
signers to accept suggestions from
competent engineers and make the
changes IN conformity with them.
Manufacture of the best foreign
motors contemporaneously with the
development Of an, american engine,
would have a sounder policy. That
it was partially adopted later con-
irmed this conclusion. We are doing
what we should have done a year ago"
After deploriag failure to build the
Rolls-Royce motors and French motors
the committee added:
"No fighting plane has been built
around the Liberty engine. although it
is an axiom in aeronautics that planes
must be adopted to motors. Uutil a
plane is successfully built around a
Liberty motor our air program will not
be complete"
Efficiency in administration was i'm
possible, the committee declares, with
the aircraft production board exercis-
ing authority without responsibility.
"The production of training planes
has been fairly adequate" the report
declares.
FIGHTING PLANES INADEQUATE
Early in 1917, the report says, this
country contracted with England and
France for fighting planes, of which
2,114 have been delivered;
"This enabled us to maintain thir-
teen squadrons of eight flyers each on
the front, a force wholly. inadequate
to meet the requirements Of moedrn
warfare"
Despite the assurance that foreign
fighting planes would be available in
sufficient numbers, given by Secretary
Baker, Major General Squire, chief,
and Colonel Deeds of the Signalycorps,
according to report, inability Of the
United States to. furnish raw mater

OF these, cereals u shipments of
the prime breadstuffs In the fiscal year
1918 to Allied destinations were
Wheat 131, 100000 bushels and of rye
Is, 1900, 600 bushels, a total of IA, 9OO.-
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1867 were
Wheat 1876, 100000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, a total of 49,, 400, 900
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from u last harvest Of
wheat will be therefore, about IA, OO0,-
600 bushels, or a total Of 154, 100000
bushels of prime breadstuffs.. In adj
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels~to neutrals depend
ent upon US, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
"This accomplishment Of our people
In this matter stands out even more

over u normal consumption about
200.OO0,OO0 bushels Of wheat which We
were able to export that year without

Hoover said. "This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
c%arry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume Of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole Interchangeable. Do
spite the magnificent effort Of our agri-
cultural population in planting q much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there a very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
Ierly, and our corn is u dominant crop.
II: am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote IN
concluding his report, "that all tho

This was accomplished In the face Of q

bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a let
ter to President, Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up Of the millions OF bushels of wheat
during 1917-1S and the shipment of
meat during 1918.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,400. 900, 900, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments Of meats and fata
