APPEAL OF HERBERT HOOVER
4. =. FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
For the Elimination Of the Use OF
Wheat and Wheat Products Until
the Next Harvest, Wherever POSSIBLE,
and for Reduction In the COnsump-
ton OF other Food.

The confidence Of the United States
food administration that the people
OF the country would respond enthu-
siastically and whole-heartedly upon
presentation OF the facts to any nee
essary requests for reduction in con
sumption OF food has been fully JUS
titled. We have demonstrated our
ability not only 10 think together but
to act together. This response OF the
people is the reason for the present
appeal.
Our work is not yet completed. In
spite OF the encouraging results of our
efforts. in spite OF the fact that our
exports OF foOdstuffs are constantly
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 20
stress az this time.
In the Ease OF meat and meat pro-
ducts 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 requests
that the consumption OF all meats
including poultry as nearly as pos
sihle be reduced to two pounds pes
week per person over four years OF
age.
In the case OF sugar we are embar.
rassed by the necessity of using ships
for carrying our soldiers and feeding
the allies and IN consequence We must
use sugar with great economy. We
must emphasize the importance OF
canning and preserving on a larg,
scale among our people this SUMMED
and Our available sugar must be con
served for this purpose.
But the situation with regard e
wheat is the most serious In the food
supply of the allied world. II we are
TO satisfy the minimum wheat require
hents Of our armies and the allies and
the suffering millions in the allied

Ing we may expect the next enemy OF
fensive 10 begin the first or second
week in June. A lull OF six weeks az
ter an offensive OF forty days would
fix the time for the third offensive
about the first OF September. When the
third offensive has worn itself out II
will be too late for either side TO amass
the strength for another major oDer-
alton before the winter sets In.
The advantage Of the enemy will lie
In his ability 10 minimize his losses
and yet obtain the maximum results
from each blow. His peril will lie In
the fact that he Is permitting the al
lies 10 add 100. 900 soldiers a month
from the United States. He has an al
tentative. but II offers lees hope than
the plan We have described. He could
keep on fighting with but brief lulls
hammerirg against the allied lines al
most continuously, but his blows
would lack power, his advances would
be slow and uncomfortable and his
losses would be heavier. II he could
attain some definite stragetic goal.
such as channel ports. he could afford,
perhaps, 10 suffer the heavier loss, but
the chances are all against decisive
gains by this method. He must choose
the lesser evil. lie must take the risk
OF letting the Americans into the war
BY the millions and counting on some
stroke OF fortune 10 equalize condi-
tons for the campaigns OF next year.
Such strokes OF fortune have favored
the Hun from year 10 year. Why not
again. II he preserves his man power
through the year 30 that he may have
an army approximately az strong next
year as the army OF this year. he may
trust 10 d~isintcgratlng forces among
the allies or 10 reinforcements for
the German cause from some more or
less unexpected quarter. Today he Is
recruiting Teutons In Ukraine, where
there are thousands OF them, and he
Is exchanging prisoners with the Boil
sheviki government OF Russia.

might shatter all the Huns we'll ar

Examples of
Hun Hate of
Yankee CiUefe

Chicago, April 5.-A CHASTITY IL
lustration of German hatred of
American soldiers is given in a Sal
walton Army letter made public
here today by Adjutant Fletcher
Agnew. 1t was written in France
by Adjutant r. c. Starbard, who
has charge of Salvation Army hut
to Commander Eva Booth, who
turned it over to Adjutant Agnew.
Il visited base hospital recent
ly," says the letter, land had this
story from a sergeant who had
passed through one of the raids.
The sergeant was horribly wound
ed by a grenade, and passed by the
Germans as dead. Before the ser
geant lost consciousness, however,
he saw a dozen Germans overpoW-
er three American boys and cut
their throats from ear to ear.
Il have just learned" continues
the letter, that this same company
of Americans passed through here
today with their bayonets sharp
ened like raZors, sworn to avenge
this awful crime against their COM
hades. What can you say to meQ
bound on such an errand except bid
them strike with all their might
and harder because of the right
eOusness of our cause and the dew
ilishness Of the enemy?"

Historic One
Britain Says

London, April 5-The recent visit
OF Newton D. Baker. the American

says, was a historic one and will
leave a lasting impression on An
glo-F'ranco-American relations, as
it was then decided that American
regiments should be brigaded with
British and French troops on the
western front
Premier Lloyd GeoEge, the Mail
says, acquainted Secretary Baker
with the situation and expressed
the lively desire of the British gov
ernment for employment of the
American fighting forces. Secre-
tary Baker was much impressed
and went to France the next day
and saw General Persnlug.
The American commander in
chief" adds the Daily Mail, "in that
spirit of soldierly generosity and
craftsmanship which characterizes
him in his subsequent pronounce
ment to General Foch, assented
unhesitatingly.

the credit for the prompt adoption
of the scheme now in effect"

RUSS ALARMED
AT HUN ACTION
Slav Ships Try to Keep German
Warships Away From Finland
Treaty Violation Charged.

Petrograd, April 4, (By the As
sociated Press Two German war
ships and several torpedo boats
have landed troops in Finland and
occupied the town of Eknes, south
west of Helsingfors. Several Rus
sian warships, including four sub
marines, were powerless to prevent
the entry of the Germans into the
harbor of Hango and the sailors
sunk three of the ships in the har-
Dor to prevent their capture.
The commander of the Baltic
fleet has sent a communication to
the German commander concerning
the German aims and protesting
against the entry of German war
ships as a violation of the Brest-
Litovsk peace treaty which guar
anteed the security of the Russian
fleet.
The arrival of the German fleet
off the Finnish coast threatens the
safety of the Russian feet at Hell
singfors, which, for lack oil an ice
breaker, has been unable to reacn
the naval base at Kronstadt. The
fleet includes two armored shipc,
a division of torpedo boats and sub
marines.
