SUCCOR. IS PROMISED
Food Administration Cables That
America Will Not Fail to Meet

To Cooperate.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-More wheat
from the United States is the urgent
appeal of Great Britain. Without it
the Allies may not have food enough
to win the war, Lord Rhondda cables
the food administration.
Unless you are able to send the AL
lies at least 100000 bushels of
wheat over and above what you have
exported up to January 1, and in addi-
tion to the total exportable surplus
from Canada, l cannot take the re-
sponsibility of assuring our people
that there will be food enough to win
the war;" he said.
Necessity imperative.

continued, "compels me to cable you
in this blunt way. No one knows bet
ter than | that the American people
regardless of national and individual
sacrifices have so far refused nothing
that is needed for the war, but IT now
lies with America to decide whether
or not the Allies in Europe shall have
enough bread to hold out until the
United States Is able to throw its
force into the field. have not minced
words because l am convinced that
the American people, If they know the
truth. will not hesitate to meet the
emergency"
America viii Not Fail.
The food administration cabIe6
hat America would not fail to meet
the emergency.
President Wilson will issue at once
a program for conservation and the
food administration calls upon the
whole country to cooperate, even to
the extent OF making personal sacri-
fees TO get the food To the soldiers.
President wilson's program will be
voluntary in some measure, but in
others 1t will be enforceable under the
food law. The food administration
warns that the situation does not bear
OF delay, "and we propose to do the
best we can on voluntary basis, plus
what authority we do possess"
No Privations Asked.
No prlvations are asked. There
are plenty of substitute foods that
this country can use to advantage, it
was stated.
Explaining the vast work of feed
ing Europe done by this country. the
food administration says the demands
are growing daily. On January /, the
country had exported the $4,000, 900
bushels of whaet. comprising the nor
NAL surplus from the last harvest.
In addition to the 100000 bushels
now asked by Great Britain, the coun.
try must find 100000 bushels for
the Belgian relief, to prevent starva-
ton; 100000 bushels for Cuba and
other neutrals upon whom we are
dependent for other foods in return.
IF We are to meet the increased
demands we must rigidly reduce our
wheat consumption to 80 per cent be-
low normal until the next harvest"
says the food administration.

people saved as much as 10000, 900
bushels out of last harvest.

NO ADVANCE TOWARD PEACE
Washington Sees Nothing Favorable
In Teuton Replies.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-No advance
toward peace is seen here In the
speeches made in Berlin and Vienna
by the German chancellor and Aus.
trian foreign minister, upon the war
aims of the Teutonic powers. Formal
comment will be withheld until the
text are put out by an authorized
German agency but after reading press
accounts of the speeches officials ex.
pressed the opinion that they were
framed largely for internal consump.
tion with the incidental purposes to
plant seeds of discord among the AL
lies, by suggestions of separate nego-
tia:ion and appeal to the sympathies
OF the radical Socialist elements in
the enemy countries.
Regarding the design to affect the
internal conditions of Germany and
Austria one official suggested that
the striking differences of tone in the
two notes, the German being almost
defantly aggressive and the Austrian
compromising and insinuating, were
calculated precisely to meet the vary.
