100000 bushels of wheat In the United
States. If we consumed wheat at our
normal rate of consumption. more
than 40,0o0.000 bushels per month,
We would lack at least 25,60o.00o bush
els for our needs during June and
July, and not send one bushel abroad.
To meet the very minimum needs OF
the allies, we must ship 30,000,000
bushels for this two-month period.
leaving but $4,000. ZOO bushels per
month--iess than one-third OF nor
mal--for home consumption. The en-
tire 10000, 900 bushels that the allies
need must come from our savings be-
fore the next wheat harvest.
It is inconceivahie that America
should fail in this crisis. The vaesnus
strata of our population can not bear
equally this reduction in consumption
OF wheat bread Those engaged In
physical labor need a larger bread ra-
tIon than those in sedentary occupa-
lions. Furthermore. the special re-
quirements Of children and invalids
must be safeguarded. To meet the
needs abroad and prevent serious suf-
fering at home, 1t Is Imperative that
those whose circumstances permit
shall abstain from wheat and wheat
products until the next harvest.
With full understanding that as :
nation we must save ~ stnk, succol
those overseas or pefish with them
let us grasp this opportunity--a priv,
iiege, not sacrifice--to abstain from
wheat. Thus. may those who canno

success of which rests the freedom
of mankind.

sponsiblity for enforcing the laws as
to liquor and vice. the logical and
proper course Is to grow indignant.
not toward those who have exposed
shocking conditions long tolerated.
but toward those who have betrayed
high civic trust.
We believe that long and publicly
voiced opposition to the prohibition
Of the liquor traffic is in large meas
ure responsible for the existence of
the activity of bootleggers and blind
tigers. This influence of the press and
a strong public sentiment created by
1t has in our judgment paralyzed the
administration of Justice by the ju-
rors sworn to try and determine the
guilt Of persons accused of violating
the laws. Too great leniency and
clemency has long been apparent in
Richmond. AS for the vice conditions
there are we'll meaning and intelligent
people who tenaciously contend that II
ought to be tolerated under regula-
ton, despite the prohibitions and pen
alties of the laws.
Finally the presence of the yam
