THE PROGRAM.
Food Conservation Must Be In
tensified Whether War
Ends or Not.

The food conservation program
for 191S-1919 Is mathematics
plus patriotism. The figures
are simple. The United States
is pledged to send to our SOL
diers and allies so per cent more
food than we did last year, to
say nothing of the starving mil
lions whom we must feed after
the war.
We must send 17,5OO.OO0 tons;
we sent 11,S0O,O0O tons last year,
and that ii. 100000 tons was 12O
per cent more than we sent the
year before.
We know how much food there
is, where it is needed and Just
how much can be shipped. The
program agreed to calls for CT
per cent more meat and fat, 30
per cent more breadstuffs and 81
per cent more sugar than was
shipped last year.
Where will we get that 6,0O0.-
600 more tons this year? Our
people must save 1t. They must
buy less, cook less, eat less of
everything, and waste nothing.

peace conference If he so desires" says
the Kansas City Star. Under the con-
Etitution he has the initiative in max
ing treaties subject to the limitation
that they must have the approval of
two thirds of the Senate.
But. irrespective OF his right TO at
tend the conference there viii be
many Americans who win question his
wisdom in doing so. After all, the
United States got in only al the end
OF the great war. While American
troops were the determining factor
and while they did magnificent work,
the burden which they and the oOun-
try bore was relatively small eompar-
ed to that borne by the Allied nations.
An engineer officer writes the Outlook
from France that
General Pershing and many 9th
er Of the best men under him are
doing everything they can TO keep
cur people at home from a boast
full spirit and TO have a modest
view prevail OF what has been &C
compliEhed BY the American Army
in France
THE number of our dead and
wounded, he says, is less than 2 per
cent of the total sacrifices made by
our allies.
while America has vital interest
in just settlement al the peace table.
it recognizes the fact that the prob
lens involved are far more momen-
Ious 10 France, England and Italy than
TO the United States. A mistake in the
settlement might result in ruin for
one Of them. II would only slightly af-
feet America. They are the neighbors
of the Central Powers. America has
the protection OF three thousand miles
of ocean.
Just as the question of the Tela-
tions with Mexico are far more mo-
mentous TO the United States than TO
France, so is the question OF Germany
after the war far more momentous to
France than TO the United States.
Under these circumstances the
Presidents decision to attend the con-
ference will be received with mixed
feelings. Undoubtedly there will be
widespread regret
"On account of his unique position
he will go as head of the state. as web
as premier. He will be the ranking
figure at the conference and so Amer
lea will necessarily be at the head OF
the table. We read that the President

"The impression can hardly be
avoided that America will thus be
seeking an importance in the peace
councils beyond that to which she is
entitled on the score of performance.

and England, each Of which has paid

dead, and four years Of agony, to have
the United States seem to come for
ward as arbiter, after fighting cam

America is entitled to urge its
views at the conference. But it is un'
fortunate that she should be put in
the position of urging them as the
leader of the alliance"
