Mr.. Hoover says that by saving food the
American people can save the lives of one
million American boys.
The war can be won and will be won
next year if the American people, out of their
food economies, will save the food necessary
to maintain the strength of the armies and
allied civil populations says Mr.. Hoover.
EFF, by failure to save food and enable
the United States to increase by one-third lis
food shipments to France, the war is proIong-
ed to 1920, the nation is warned it will cost
an additional million American lives
Will we save it?
America must send 5, 72O, 900 tons more
of food to Europe the coming wear than it
sent the past year.
To do this. the nagon is asked TO reduce
its consumption of brcadstuffs one-half pound
each week per person, and to reduce its con-
sumption of meats and fats one-half pound
per week per person.
VIII you eat onebalf pound LESS of %breadstuffs each week
to help save a million Hves}
VIII you cat onehaIf pound LESS Of meats and fats each
week to help save the lives of American bovs2
Breadstuffs means anything made of grain-any kind Of
grain. Eat a half pound less per week than you are now eating.
Meats and fats means beef, pork, poultry, dairy and vegetable
oil products, Eat a half pound less per week than you are now
eating. :
In other words, SAVE MORE.
But children, however, must still have as much milk as
ever" says Mr.. Hoover.
The strength of the allied armies including that Of the
100000 American soldiers which must be placed in Europe to
win the war in 1919, and the strength of the allied civil popula-
tons must be kept topnotch-or the war will go over in 1920.
THAT MUST NOT HAPPEN.
1--WE can bring this dreadful business to an end-we can
do all of these things, " says Mr.. Hoover, If every man, woman
and child in the United States tests every action by the. Q n
touchstone-does this or that contribute to winning the war?'

American Editor Brings
Story of Reported Clash

Baltimore, Nd. Nov. 29.-The Sun,
one of the leading administration
papers in the east. prints an article
by Frank r. Kent, it's managing edi-
tor, who has just returned from Eu-

In it he seeks to tell a story Of the
international complications abroad
that would not be permitted to come
by cable and to tell some Of the diff
flculties that confront the approach

Fair words flow in the open, but
when one goes inside quite an amaz-

a lack Of sanity or balance to ac-

cables sent to him from there, urg-

"The truth is, and everybody in
Paris knows it, that in governmental
and political circles they do not love
us at all over there. neither the Eng
lish nor the French. Between indi-
vidulas of different nations and races
warm and sincere friendships are
possible, and there are plenty OF

IN THRILLING TRIP
WITH BIG CARGO

man was one Of the straws that
broke the kaisers back, and brought
on his abdication.
The commander was Capt. Hansen
Evesmith, 392 eventh avenue south,
who is spending an indeterminate
leave with his family after one Of the
most nerve-racking, trips in his ex-
perience as a navigator.
Captain Evesmith, though over age
when the need of skillful navigators
became acute, volunteered his serv-
ices, leaving the superintendency of
his Ignite mines at Zenith and Dick
inson to employees. and spent six
months on the water before Germa-
my gave up the ghost Of world dom
nation.
''We were rather mixed propo-
sition,' Captain Evesmith said to-
day in reciting the experiences Of his
last trip across, "in that we were a
German ship flying the Cuban flag,
and sailing under the United States
board crew and gun crews and wire
less operators from the United
States navy.
Nerve -Rackina Voyage
"0ur crew numbered 110. men, and
we were given certificates emitting
sus to be treated as prisoneCs of war
in case of capture.
+ 1--WE had a very rough trip; and
one Of the most nerYe-racking !
ever undertook. Among the army
supplies that we carried were 500
tons of T. N. r., the same explosive
that effaced Halifax from the map.
The ship was pretty badly used up
when we got 1t over, and had to go
into drydock. so came back to see
my family and attend to business
matters which multiplied in my ap-
sence.
Captain Eyesnnith is a reserve Of,
ficer. with certificate as skillful
navigator. and is subject to call to
service at any time. He does not ex-
pect to be called for some tine, how
ever, at least not until American
troops are returned from Europe in
large numbers.
cubans Have Pretty Flag
"Speaking OF sailing under the Gu
ban flag" Captain Evesmith conttn-
ued, have you ever noticed what a
pretty dag the Cubans Iave?, It is
Of blue and white bars with a gold
star in a red background. The Cu-
bans take great pride in their flag,
and sailing under it was not entirely
displeasing to me. for I was in Cuba
earlier in the year on another ship
and learned that their flag stood for
the same principles as our own Stars
and Stripes, and they were with the
allies to a man"

condition from lack Of food, accord
ing to a message to the Daily ES-

pint of soup made Of rotten cabbage
and -four containing quantity of
sawdust. On Sunday a little horse
flesh is added.
Dying by Hundreds
"A1l these human wrecks, with
bones protruding," continues the
correspondent, exist on this soup.
Hundreds die daily and are buried in
paper coffins because the wood is
needed for fuel" He says incident
ally, that the clerks in the Spanish

served on Thanksgiv day in the
entire American army Of occupation
This was at the mess Of Is far sight
cd officers OF the bureau OF opera
tions at headquarters of the Third
division at Remich. The turkey was
purchased November IL, and was fat
tened for the feast today.
Other Thanksgiving dinners In the
army varied according to the re-
sourcefulness of the mess officers and
the ingenuity Of the cooks. Owing to
transportation difficulties the quar-
termaster was unable to furnish the
1uxuries and trimmings which al
ways mark the last Thursday in No
vember.
Foot Riots Across Line.
While the Americans had plenty Of
wholesome and substantial food, from
the enemy lines came further reports
of hunger among the released allied
prisoners, food riots among the de-
feated troops and civilians AT the
mess of staff officers Of the 32nd
division a quarter of venison was
served. 1t was git from a resi-
dent OF Luxembourg whose hunting

at Second division headquarters at
Larochette had duck costing 40 to
so francs apiece.
Chickens Look Good.
Chicken took the place Of turkey
at the tables of the officers of the
first division at Canach. The chick
en- was nearly as expensive as duck.
In some other divisions Luxembourg
ham costing 20 francs a pound was
served. Among the men there was
an abundant supply of beef, nuts and
mincemeat. The cooks We'd with

SOCIALISTS TO
TAKE NO CHANCE
With The NEWLY.
ELECTED SOLONS.
Bowen Already Signing
Them Up to Plan Laid
Down by Leaders

The signing up of the Nonpartisan
league members -elect of the North
Dakota legislature to the program
dictated by, the Socialist leaders of
the league, already is in progress
with A. e. Bowen, Mr.. Townley's
chief aide within the league, in
charge of the work
Two years ago the Socialists
awaited the convening of the legls-
ature before they signed up, but this
year it lis already apparent that a
new plan is being worked out. and
that the legislators are being COM
mitted far in advance to be bound
by the league system of handling
legislation.
Whether or not the signing up pro-
cess calls for the continuance of the
secret caucus in the coming assem-
bly,, is not at this time clear, but re-
ports received from several points in
the state where Mr.. Bowen has held
meetings with the legislators elect
indicate that such is the case.
While Mr.. Bowen is the chief in
charge OF the signing up process. he
is being aided by other leaders of the
league movement. and it is said to
be their aim to cover the whole state
within the next two or three weeks.
Leaguers Are Strong
Estimates place the Nonpartisan
strength in the house at about so,
while in the senate the league will
have about 35 members, according to
the present lineup. Each Nonparti-
san supported candidate for the leg
islature is expected to abide abso-
lutely by the program laid down for
them by the league leaders, and I
there is every indication that the no
torious caucus system, by which all
legislation is dealt with secretly, will
be continued, the Socialists contend
ing that it is necessary to the sue
cessful working out of their plans.
Among conferences Mr.. Bowen has
held so far was one at, Hillsboro,
where the three house members
elect, Messrs. Strom, Moen and Mes
Wig met with Mr.. Bowen. Another
similar conference is said to have
been held at; Jamestown on lWednes-
day Of this week.
Bowen will be on the job at Bis
marck again during the coming ses-
sion OF the legislature. either in the
capacity of chief clerk Of the house,
or secretary OF the senate. The
league leaders expect to place many
of their workers on the state pay !
roll during the sessions, thus serv-
double purpose-that of relieving |
their own treasury of the salary roll, |
and that of maintaining a more eff

latiye organization.
