FOOD SAVING IS
STILL ESSENTIAL

The nations obligation and oppor-
tunity to serve stricken humanity in
war-ton Europe by helping to pro-
vide sustenance until the next harv-
est will demand further sacrifices of
the American people. Food Admin
istrator Hoover declared in an adj
dress at conference Of State Food
Administrators.
Conditions Of famine exists in Eu-
rope, Mr.. Hoover said, that will be
beyond our power to remedy" even
with the carrying out Of the plan to
ship from America 2O,0OO,O00 tons
Of foodstuffs during the next year, in
Northern Russia alone, he declared,
there are 100000 900 people who have
but little chance Of obtaining food
this winter. Millions of others thru
out Europe, he said, who can be
reached must be fed.
"This being the new world situa-
ton, created by the collapse of the
war;" Mr.. Hoover continued, 1.-THE
prime changes in our policies on to-
days outlook can be summarized;
"That we may now advantag-
eously abandon the use Of substi-
tutes in our wheat bread; that we will
still require economy and elimination
Of waste in its consumption; that for
the present we need conservation in
butter and condensed milk, that ulti-
mately we must extend this to all
the fats.
1--WE can contemplate, at the most,
maintaining fully three pounds per
month Of sugar per person Of house.
hold sugar on the present outlook,
and we can by the availability of
Java sugars to Europe begin at once
to relax more restraints on sugar
pending some change in European
policies.
"These are special features of
changes in policy, but the shifting OF
conservation from one commodity to
another is not the whole policy.
There is one policy which cannot
change and that is the vital neces-
sity to simple living, to economy in
all consumption for commodities
more or less substitute for each
other. We must realize that the
specter Of famine abroad now haunts
the abundance of our table at home.
1--WE have now to consider a new
world situation in food. We have to
frankly survey Europe, a Europe OF
which a large part is either in ruins
or in social conflagration; Europe
with degenerated soils and depleted
herds, Europe with the whole Of ITS
population on rations or varying de-
grees of starvation and large num-
bers who have been under the Ger
man heel actually starving.
eve must consider carefully how
this situation reacts upon our people.
We must consider our national duty
in the matter and we must make such
changes in our policies as are fitting
to the new situation. The matter of
prime Importance to us is now much
of each commodity the exporting
countries can furnish between now
and next harvest and how much is
necessary to the importing countries
in which we have a vital interest, in
order to maintain the health and
public order in the world"
North America, Mr.. Hoover said,
will have to furnish 60 per cent of
the worlds supply Of foodstuffs and
the United States and the West In
dies will be able to export 2O,OOO,0DO
tons as against a prewar normal of
6,OOO,O 900 tons.

Unless present plans are greatly
changed. no Christmas boxes can be
sent to the American soldiers in
France from home. One year must go
by without the usual white tissue pa
per packages tied in red and green
ribbons, because, from Wayne county
alone more than $500 men will be in
service by Christmas time, and allow
ing even as low minimum as five
pounds to each. 1t would amount at
least to 1880 pounds, or over six tons,
from this one community. Multiply
ing that by thousands over this coun-
try one readily can see how shopping
could become impossible by the con-
gestion and the whole machinery. of
military manoever would become clog
ged.
Last year when there was a small
number in France compared to this
year. the Christmas shipping of non
essentials was even then so heavy
that more than one hundred carloads
Of Christmas presents from America
were In the depots and railroad yards
as late as May of this year.
But this does not mean that the
American soldiers are to have no
Christmas from home. Nothing means
as much to the boys as cheering
Christmas letters. And besides letters,
photographs, magazines, homemade
joke books, money orders, and even
such small articles as handkerchiefs
enclosed in letters can be sent.
Provision for sending actual gifts
has been made by resourceful business
men. Several of the large stores in
the cities have made arrangements
with French business firms to fill mail
orders in France and send the articles
to the boys from Paris. In that way
the danger of losses by submarines is
eliminated. and the expense of ship
ping from America is saved.

E3HEARDFR oMoRS SOLDIER SApS AIlORSE3
Christmas Spirit, But No Christmas
Presents For U.S.. Soldiers This Year

Postmaster Beck asks that citizens do
not put more than two papers In a
bundle. or one magazine, as the wrap
ping is so much harder to keep from
tearing when large rolls arc sent.
General Harbord, commanding gen.
eral of 8. o. s., confirms the report
that Christmas shipping from the
United States cannot be allowed, for
he says:
I'VE will require all available ton
mage for troops and war essentials
Much confusion and interruption OF
traffic ensued last winter because of
the great number Of Christmas pack
ages. While the spirit back home Is
understood and appreciated, 1t Is OBJ
vious that we must not add to the bur-
dens that will be placed on shipping
and transportation lines this winter"
In view of this fact, the American
boys in France are beginning already
to plan for their Christmases on this
basis. and instead of looking forward
to having presents from home, are
planning to turn into American Santa
Clauses themselves and give the
French people the most glorious
Christmas they ever have known.
Y NJ c. A. workers are arranging
to have community Christmas trees in
the little French villages and town
nearest the camps in which they are
stationed, and all the churches and
even the city arks will be turned into
American Santa Claus sub-staticns. In
the sections where there are large
numbers Of refugees from Belgium,
the American soldiers are Planning to
load the Christmas trees with useful
presents for the unfortunate people,
and it will be safe to say that many
an American Santa Claus in France
will be happier in giving a Christmas
| to the French children than in sitting
around camp wondering what he would
ever do with that manicure set from
Mabel.

Besides the industry of such a huge

and streets lined with barracks mess
rooms, canteens, barber shops, den

OF flourishing frontier town.
Beyond the shops and barracks are
the great stretches of railway tracks
and sidings, for this is the first step
in the intricate system of transporta-
ton by which American troops and
supplies are moved to the front. When
the Americans came here there were
two tracks; now there is a network of
FL tracks. Hundreds of American en-
gines and cars were moving over
these lines as we went through the
yards today. and some 40 newly COM
pleted locomotives just turned out at
the nearby shops were starting on
their way. And as these went out,
long trains were bringing in more Of

II received your letter and was

Some people think that Poles from

governments, and that is the principal
reason why myself and others immf-
