eHERBERT HOOVER"
Outlining the wheat situation and
the necessity for pledging abstinence
from the use Of wheat, Mr.. Hoover
sent the following message to the peo-
pie through the churches:
1.-THE wheat situation IL the most
serious in the food supply Of the world.
"Our harvest was less than esti-
mated.
Needs Of the allies are greater than
we calculated.
Losses by sea and battle have been
heavier than were anticipated.
"Tenser demands on shipping space
restrict ships more than ever to the
shortest haul and the highest bulk.
I'VE have fallen behind in our pro-
gram. We have eaten further into
our stock Of wheat than we should.
There is no margin anywhere.
Near Danger Point.
1.-THE allies stocks of wheat are
down to the danger point. We dare
not stop the flow OF wheat over seas.
That would be greater disaster than
the defeat Of an army.
I'VE must send wheat and more
wheat. To redeem our obligations to
those who fight for US, and whom we
sent, we must go on . wheatless basis.
Going without wheat il an incon.
venience-nothing worse. 1t IL no
hardship, no danger.
Food will win the war! Food today
means first of all wheat.
Perhaps this is the largest contri.
button we can make.
Going without wheat adds directly
to our forces In battle.

UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION"
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1918-05-31

An urgent appeal to the American
people to save wheat and wheat prod
ucts until the next harvest and q re-
quest that everyone, 30 far as his cir
cumstances will permit, sign a pledge
to abstain from the use of wheat and
wheat products, was issued by Her
bert Hoover through the Church and
Sunday School Division Of the Food
Administration for Washington Sun
day.
The following il Mr.. Hoovers mes
sage to the American people:
1.-The confidence of the United
States Food Administration that the
people of the country would respond
enthusiastically and whole heartedly
upon presentation Of the facts to any
necessary requests for reduction in
consumption of food has been fully
justified. We have demonstrated our
ability not only to think together but
to act. together. This response of the
people IL the reason for the present
appeal.
Our work ID not yet complete In
spite of the encouraging results of
our efforts. In spite of the fact that
our exports of foodstuffs are constant
ly increasing and are approaching the
minimum requirements abroad, the
need for renewed devotion and effort
is pressing. While all Of the require
ments Of the food administration
should be constantly observed, there
are certain matters which desire to
stress at this time.
Need More Meat
I'm the case Of meat and meat
products, the necessities for shipment
abroad are very great. Whereas the
allied consumption has been reduced
to an average Of about one and one
quarter pounds per person per week.
we are today enjoying an average Of
about three and one-quarter pounds
per person per week. This division Is
inequitable. An understanding OF
these facts will justify our request
that the consumption Of all meats. in.
GLIDING poultry, as nearly as possible
be reduced to two pounds per person
over four years Of age.
I'm the case Of sugar we are EN-.
barrassed by the necessity Of using
ships for carrying our soldiers and
feeding the allies and in consequence
We must use sugar with great econ
omy. We must emphasize the impor,
lance of canning and preserving on a
large scale among our people Sais sum-
mer and our available sugar must be
conserved for this purpose.
But the situation with regard to
wheat is the most serious in the food
supply Of the allied world. II we are
to satisfy the minimum wheat require
ments of our armies and the allies and
the suffering millions in the allied
countries our consumption of wheat in
the United States until the next har.
vest must be reduced to approximately
one-third Of normal. It Is incOnceiv-
able that we should fail in this crisis.
For each Of us who can personally
contribute to the relief of human suf-
fering il is q privilege. not a sacrifice.
All elements Of our population cannot
bear this burden equally. Those en-
gagged in physical labor need larger
bread ration than those in sedentary
occupations. Because of the constant

George w. Cocktails, Chief of the di-
vision of purchase, storage and traf-
fic of the general staff of the Army,
has commissioned Arthur A. Ham
merschlag, President of the Carnegie
Institute, and Lieut.. Col. j. w. McIn-
tosh. Subsistence Division. @. NJ. c.,
N. A.. to cooperate with the Chicago
packers in experiments which may
save up to 40 per cent of the tremon-
dous cargo space now required for
shipping fresh beef. President Ham
merschlag and Col. Mcintosh have
already reached the stock yards and
the experiments have begun.
The experiments contemplate not
only the conservation of shipping
space. but also the problem of having
the packages small enough to be
handled by the class of labor availa-
BILE at unloading ports overseas and
the quick and convenient issue at
supply depots in France.
Hty range lTOIl lHt mere tutliHS
of the carcass into more convenient
sizes and shapes to the entire boning
of the carcass to be packed in boxes.
II is estimated that If the plans prove
practicable saving of from15 to 40
per cent of the room now used in
transporting the same amount of beef
will be made possible. Since fresh
beef constitutes considerable part
of some 350.000,000 pounds of beef
and pork products now sent monthly
to allied countries the saving by the
new method may prove TO be con-
siderable if found practical. The
bones and surplus fats salvaged by
the operation will be converted into
various by-products.
The chief difficulties encountered
so far have been the necessity of OBJ
tanning enough labor sufficiently
skilled in this particular work and
the providing of facilities necessary
to handle the quantities required
without interfering with production
of other meat products being prepar-
ed for our armies and those of our
allies.

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES.

At the Red Cross rooms at Akron
co. Chapter, members have had to
come day and night-doing the pack
ing and assembling at night so that
the workers could be accommodated
during the day.
Within a year after the chapter
organized. a change of location had
TO be made. \ spacious house, recent
ly vacated by the University Club, is
now in use by the various depart
ments of the Red Cross chapter.
About the time this change was
made. the president of the Akron
College Club suggested starting Red
Cross salvage shop. The members
were enthusiastically in favor, and
such shop was opened to the public.
The proceeds are devoted to the
chapter use. The first month of bust
ness netted $4,000, which was turned
over to the chapter treasurer. Recent
ly the shop has been made one of the
departments of the chapter.
%
4 flower shop was also started in
Akron. Space and the necessary mer-
chandise were donated, and every
Saturday flowers have been sold with
the result that the receipts have made
possible the purchase of a small car

partment.
The chapter has completely equipp-
ed an emergency hospital of twenty

of the fire engine houses. This equip
ment. on request of the supply officer.
was used on the arrival of the Train
ing Detachment at the University of
Akron until the regular equipment
which had been unduly delayed was
available.
The Terre Haute Und) Chapter
has profited greatly through a white
elephant sale conducted by Mrs. Fred
b. Smith. which in one week netted
the local Red Cross chapter $6,Ol5.
Arthur Fromme, just before leav-
ing Terre Haute for service in the
army, gave the chapter his riding
horse, valued at $500. AT an auction
sale by repeated biddings in at $500
and giving back the horse, Melted the
local chapter $2,225.
The stripping OF prisoners appar-
emily takes place only at the front in
the heat and confusion of battle. AT
the prisons. camp committees, APP
pointed by the prisoners themselves,
see that American prisoners receive
and enjoy the supplies sent them.
Each individual, moreover, returns a
signed receipt card for each parcel to
the American Red Cross representa-
tives at Bern.
The girls at the Smith College
Relief Unit have opened reading
room for American and British sold
iers. Regular visits also are paid to
the American soldiers in the hospital
at Beauvais. Wounded soldiers to the
number of some 5000 sometimes are
fed in the course of a ten-day period.
In one night the record of feeding
5000 was made.
The American Red Cross rolling
canteens in Italy recently distributed
to 1000 Italian soldiers packets con-
tanning socks. soap, cigarettes, choco-
lates. handkerchiefs, writing material
and small mirrors and combs. Such
packets will probably be distributed
TO some 10000 more. They help to
