Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations viii Be Able to Re-
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply of White
Bread.

Oyershadowing all other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership Of Food Administration
is the history Of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments Of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat The ac-
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the peO4
pies Of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
2OOO0,O00 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent III, 100000 bushels Of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out Of their normal consumption
121 100000 bushels.
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation of flour brought
about by the WheatleSs meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 33,000000
barrels of white flOur-Wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the 1st of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional 36,000,O00 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies 1t seem
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 100000,00O
bushels by July l. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed The American people
responded by sending 85,OO0OOO bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first of the
year and the advent of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1913, we had already
shipped 659G0,305 bushels since July
1. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by July l of next year
we will have sent more than 237 ,500,-
600 bushels to Europe
Thus are we making good Americas
pledge that the bread rations of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

COAL HELD TO BOOST PRICE
Senator Reed Charges Producers
Stored Anthracite When Too
Much Was Mined

Washington, Nov. 2G.-With J. B.
Neale, director of anthracite produc-
ton for the fuel administration On the
stand, Senator Reed attempted to
prove that anthracite coal operators
always have limited fuel production in
order to keep up prices. Neale, him
self a millionaire coal operator, con-
tended that anthracite operators prior
to the period Of government supervis-
ion always were able to meet the de-
mand. ''But there never was a sur
plus" Reed observed. "There never
was a surplus put on the market. The
coal was stored if it was evident too
much had been produced, in order to
keep up prices" Reed added. Seventy
per cent of the anthracite coal is pro-
duced by seven railroad coal COM
panies. Neale said.

Mr. Wilson at the Peace Table

Springfield Republican: Though Mr.
Wilson has been accused of mote
writing" nobody has keener sense of
the value of the spoken word, as was
shown when he amazed Congress by
addressing it instead of sending it a
voluminous message.
1t is the same instinct for direct con
tact which now leads him to cross the
ocean. AS he said last December:
1.-The cause being just and holy, the
settlement must be of like motive and
quality. A supreme moment
'of history has come. The eyes of the
people have been opened and they see.
The hand of God is laid upon the ma,
'tions. He will show them favor, de-
'voutly believe, only if they rise to
the clear heights of his own justice
'and mercy" If their spokesmen at
the peace conference can once rise to
those clear heights way will be found
to solve the hardest riddles of the new
Europe and the new world. To make
the full influence of America felt in
that sense is the decisive reason for
President Wilson's course,

The FutiIity Of Brag.

Chicago Journal: The surrender of
the German high seas fleet yesterday
was one Of the most dramatic moments
in history. The navy that was planned
to win dominion of the oceans skulks
behind impregnable land forts for
years, and comes out at last only to
haul down its flag to a foe that it af-
fected to despise. The fleet that cost an
empires ransom proves to have been an
emperor's toy.

FATHERLESS CHILDREN OF
FRANCE
Who Will Take Child Of Dead French
Soldiers?


Takes 10 cents a day. Do you know
that for 10 cents day, $3 month,
S36 80 year, you can save one of these
children?
"There isn't any way we can help
France more practically, more usefully,
or more personally than by giving her
children chance to grow up into Wig
orous, we'll trained men and women,
mentally and physically equipped to do
the work that is before them. Victory
will bring rejoicing, but it cannot give
back to France the men who for four
years have fought our battles. It can
not restore bread winners to those chill
dren who have suffered so much. For
just 10 cents a day you can tit them to
bear their burdens and make them
worthy inheritors of a great tradition
I have visited the battlefront and seen
families returning to their destroyed
homes with a cheerfulness that is in
spring. If our people could fully real
ize what France has inwardly suffered
without complaint, and could under
stand what our assistance to the or
phans means in these hours Of trial and
suffering, I truly believe there would
not be an unassisted orphan left in
France. The French Government, the
French people in every walk of life, in
Guiding Cardinal Annette, Archbishop
Of Paris, have SO generously expressed
the appreciation of our work that feel
that any criticisms that may have been
directed against our society in the past
have been fully answered and that we
can look to the future with optimism.
