WHY We MUST SAVE FOOD


The men of the allied nations are
fighting; they are not on the farms.
Even the men of the European neutral
countries are under arms. The fields
of both allies and neutrals lack man
power, fertilizer and machinery.
Hence, the production of food by these
countries has steadily lessened ever
since the beginning of the war, while,
at the same time, the shortage of ship
ping has grown more and more Sc
rious, with the consequent steady in
crease of difficulties in bringing food
from the faraway markets of India,
Australia and the Argentine.
The situation has become critical.
There is simply not enough food in
Europe, yet the soldiers of the allies
must be maintained in full strength;
their wives and children at home must
not face famine; the friendly neutrals
must not be starved; and, finally, our
own army in France must never lack
needed ounce of food.
There is just one way in which all
these requirements can be met. North
America must furnish the food. And
we must furnish it from our savings
because we have already sent our nor
NAL supplies.
We do not need to starve our own
people. We have plenty for ourselves,
and it is the firm policy of the food
administration to retain for our peo-
Pile, by it's control of exports, suffi-
cient supply of every essential food
stuff. We want nobody in our coun-
good health and full strength, for
America needs the full productive
power of all its people. Much of the
needed saving can be effected by sub
stituting one kind of food for an
| other But the time has come to put
| aside all selfishness and disloyalty.
| The time has come for sacrifice.
The allies ask US to meet only their
absolutely imperative needs. They are
restricting the consumption of their
own people to the minimum necessary
for health and strength. They are con-
| trolling their food by drastic govern
ment regulation. There is even actual
privation among their women and chill
dren; there is starvation in Belgium.
The allies need wheat and meat and
fats and sugar. They must have
more of all of these than we have
been sending, more than we shall be
I able to send unless we restrict our
own consumption. We can do it with
out harm, for, as nation, we are
! today eating and wasting much more
| food than we need.
The whole great problem of win
ming the war rests primarily on one
thing; the loyalty and sacrifice of the
American people in the matter of food.
1t is not a government responsibility,
it is the responsibility of each indi-
vidual. Each pound of food saved by
each American citizen is pound given
to the support of our army, the allies
and the friendly neutrals. Each

Two LETTERS FROM u. s. SENATORS AND
REPLY OF A DENVER POSTAL EMPLOYE
Declares Opposition Wage Increase Clerks
While Shafroth Offers Send Some to
Wage Bill Careful Consideration; Denver Boys
Are Not Rapturous Over Our Senators

| do what i can to secure relief for en-
ployes, etc, but fails to state whether
| he has proposed or introduced any
| measure to fix the prices of necessi-
ties and rent or when such legislation
| is likely to come before Congress
| However, as the postal employees do
not enjoy the incomes and salaries of
our honorable senators from Colorado,
| am afraid that by the time Senator
Thomas and Congress sees fit to enact
any such legislation granting the post
| office employees relief from the H. C.
of L., if they move with their custo-
mary speed, the present generation of
employees will be somewhere "over
there tbut not in France) where the
high cost of clothes and coal will be
the least of their worries and the only
necessities they will need will be ice
to keep cool on or maybe the other
place where the high price of wings
or harps will bother them very little
Probably Senator Thomas will be
there in front seat sporting a large
pair of extra fine wings as a reward
for his watchfulness of the treasury
during war times then.
His watchfulness of the taxpayers
money does not seem consistent with
the large salary (war tax exempt) he
draws from his Uncle Samuel or the
extra dividends he enjoys from his
copper stock (most of which is pro
vlded by Uncle Sam, no doubt which
understand he owns, but no doubt
if it were suggested to him he would
use his influence with the copper min
ing company to provide Uncle Sam
with copper free or at least at cost of
producing same, or better still, to re-
fund to the overburdened treasury the
large salary he enjoys and which he
has no conscientious objections to ac-
cepting as far as l know and give
his valuable (?) services to the gov
ernment for 81 per year as many a
better man at Washington is doing
now.
Does the Hon. Thomas think that
he and Congress can by legislation
compel the landlord to reduce rent, the
coal barons to reduce the price of coal
the farmer to sell his wheat cheaper
than he can produce it for or Bob
Speer to reduce the taxes on the en-
| ployes' modest home (that is, those
who are fortunate enough in owning
| their own homes), in time to be of any
| material benefit to them? If he does,
he certainly deserves a crown or an
iron cross for such sublime faith
Please return these letters when
further use for them and if you see
| fit to print these and my remarks
! please don't mention my name, as the
honorable senator might spare some
of his very valuable time from the
door of the United States treasury to
try and get my job.
Yours very truly,
C. w. SCHECTER.

as to their sentiments in regard to pro-
posed legislation now before Congress
to raise the pay of postal employees to
meet (partly) the increased cost of liv-
ing. These letters speak for them
selves.
Senator Shafroth's "bit of camou-
flage" about giving it his most serious
consideration, which is his usual
stereotyped form, in reply to all in
quiries on any legislation, is evidence
of his usual ''straddle the fence stand
on all labor legislation and can be dis
missed without comment.
Mr.. Thomas, however, is more di-
rect and honest in his statement than
Honest John" and shows his patriot
ism CD and also to which class his

Lieutenant Lance was known to have
been fighting where the fighting was
the hottest. It had been known that
he was with the men in the trenches
and the last letters received from him
told of this warfare, but his relatives
at home had not known that he or any
other Kenosha man had shared in the
glories of the American troops in the
capture of Cantigny.
Lieutenant Lance was one Of the
first young men from Kenosha to vol
unteer for service He went along to
the first training camp for officers at
FIT. Sheridan and came out with com
mission as a lieutenant. He chose the
artillery, one Of the hardest branches
of the service and he was called for
earlier overseas service than any Of
the other Kenosha officers.
While the citation declares that he
was twice rendered unconscious in the
great battle for Gantigny, he evidently
was not wounded as his name has not
appeared in the casualty lists.
Lieutenant Lance was one of the one
hundred and thirty-three members Of
the LIST division, of the American
troops to be cited for bravery. At
the head of the list was Major Theo-

Control Trade After War

Extension for period Of three years after the
close Of the war Of the extraordinary powers now
exercised by the government In the regulation of
Imports and exports Is the object of q bill now
before parliament, according to commerce reports
This measure, entitled imports and exports item
porary controD BILL presented by the president of
the board Of trade, embodes the most important
legislation thus far initiated with a view to pro-
tectlng and controlling British trade after the
war; Unless extended. present powers Of control
Of exports and imports will to great extent lapse
upon the cessation of hostilities.
Section !, paragraph of the bill reads as fol-
lows:
''The lords Of the council on the recommends
tion of the board Of trade may by order prohibit
the importation or expectation Of goods Of any
class. description. or origin or produced or manu-.
factured In whole or In part In any country or
place specified In the order, either generally or
from or to any country or place named In the
order, subject In either case to such exceptions
III any) as may be specified in the order, and to
any licenses the grant of which may be auth.
orfzed by the order"
While ordinary legislation has given authority
for certain measures of control In times of
peace the particular powers which 1t Is desired
to make effective beyond the duration OF the war
are the following: Prohibition Of Importation Of
goods of specified origin; prohibition of exporta.
ton of goods Of any kind; prohibition Of expor.
tation Of all goods to any country or place spe..
cited.
The desire on the part OF British interests for
some action of this nature Is shown In a resolu
tion In favor Of restriction, by tariff or other
wise, of the trade relations with enemy countries"
adopted by the Association Of Chambers of Com
merce OF the United Kingdom In 1915.
