Seibians, the Rumanians the Czecho-
Slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs are look
ing to this country in their misery
and famine for aid, and America must
answer their appeal.
As II was the women last year who
were largely responsible for the food
saving which prevented a collapse in
the morale of the Allies, so it will be
the women now who must urge that
conservation in their households be
continued despite the fact that the war
is over, and the food administration
has supreme confidence that they will
see that Americas food pledge of
twenty million tens is kept, and that
the starving nations of Europe do not
want for food
1t was to bring before the average
consumer the fact that food conserva-
tion must be continued and that there
should be no relaxation in the pro
gram of food saving and elimination
of waste that the week of December
, to ! was set aside as conservation
week for world relief.

5000 Workers Cheer
Hoover in Paris

Speaking at a luncheon given in his
honor at munitions works to-day, Mr..
Hoover said
Comrades, allied in the common
cause, salute the French workingmen,
for during three years | myself have
worked as a laborer
have word Of encouragement and
hope to convey to you. Last year the
American and French crops were much
below the average. This season the
crop which will soon be harvested in
America IS the largest we have ever
had
Next year our bread shall be bet
ter. On all sides we must practice
economy. Each pound of bread saved
viii make room for the transporta ton
of an equal amount of munitions for
soldiers and more munitions.
The bread may times have bean
bad in France, but you workingmen
should know that the American work
ingman has also sacrificed the quality
OF his daily bread in order to share
the French workingman's war bread
The sentiment of the American food
administration is that. as we are fight
ing for a common cause. we should sit
ct a common table"
Three thousand French workingmen
gave Mr.. Hoover great ovation as
his speech was translated by Hugh
Gibson, secretary Of the embassy.
NJ. Boret, the French Food Minister,
led the cheering, shouting: Let US
salute together the man who made il
possible for France to eat"

Next, and not least, for the moral
weight of her wholehearted and un-
selfish cooperation.
From her detached position she has
surveyed the struggle in its broadcast
lines. She cannot be suspected of hav-
ing any, interest in secondary or Ill
terror aims. Her single object is seen
to be that the sinister and perverted
ideals Of which German policy and
German teaching had become the po-
tent and aggressive vehicles should be
rooted out Of the world. Above ali,
she has emphasized and brought into
the foreground the one method for the
full attainment of the Allied purpose.
THE great mass Of thoughtful opin-
ion in Europe, as in America, is now
convinced that we shall have fought
in vain unless, before we lay down
our arms, we have achieved at least
the beginnings Of great international
partnership to be built upon the lines

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT, Aug. 8
Morning Before evacuating Sapor
nay the Germans desperately endeav-
ored to remove several locomotives and
railway cars, which finally they were
compelled to leave behind. The French
and American heavy guns previously
had severed the railway running north
from Saponay, and the Germans were
unable to make repairs, owing to the
continued Smelling.
Saponay and the district extending
to Fere-en Tardenois form an imoor-
tant railway centre, of which the Ger
mans made use until the Allied guns
cut the line When the French en-
tered Saponay on Friday they found
two locomotives which the Germans
had attempted to destroy when they
discovered the railroad had been sew
cred, and the railroad yards had also
been damaged by German explosives.
Friday was the first day Fere-en-
Tardenois was not under the German
artillery since the Germans evacuated
the village. The French and Americans
already have started to restore the
shell-swept village. A group of Amer
lean engineers under a lieutenant from
North Carolina to-day worked side by
side with French engineers repairing
the roads and streets, and other de-
tachments were busy burying the Ger
man dead.
Every House a Target
Before evacuating Fere-en-Tardenois
the Germans destroyed virtually every
thing which could be made use Of
mirrors, beds and furniture. There
was not a single house which had not
been shelled or dynamited. Most of
the stone houses are mere shells, with
gaping holes in the roofs and walls.
Some houses were totally demolished.
The church stands with many large
holes in the roof and sides. Virtually
the only things in Observation-Disclosures
that are really intact are the weather
cock on the church steeple and the
cobblestones on the streets.
The trees in the village square were
twisted rs if by a cyclone by the fare
well shells OF the Germans.
large sign in German at the en-
trance of the church reads; Remove

Britain's Gift to War

Great Britain's contribution to the
success of the Allies was made public
here to-day by the British Bureau of
Information Of the British War Mis-
sion.
Staggering figures that tell en- elo-
quent story OF sacrifices, heroic deter
mination and accomplishment are re-
vealed by the bureau, which enumer-
ates, among other things, for instance,
the fact that Great Britain and her
colonies have raised 1900 900 soldiers.
Of whom 100000 have been slain and
100000 are wounded or missing.
England herself, it is said, has fur
nished so per cent Of the fighters and
suffered 76 per cent of the casualties
1t has been estimated, the bureau
says, that Britain has fought on seven
teen fronts during the last four years,
including Belgium. France, Italy, Ser
bia, Greece, Russia, Palestine, Mcsopo-
tamia, China and North, East and West
Africa
To give one an idea OF the great
strides made by Grea. Britain in pro-
ducing implements Of war it is stated
that the expenditure of rife ammuni-
ton per week is now sixty-fve times
greater than the average weekly ex-
penditure during the first ten months
of the struggle. Machine gun output
is thirty-nine times greater. The Min
istry Of Munitions now handles 3d.
100000 articles week, and in addition
to more than ninety arsenals, Great
Britain now has 5046 government con-
trolled factories, all working night and
day on munitions and supplies.
The British navy has trebled its per-
sonnet and doubled it's fighting arma-
ment since entering the conflict. It

Tons Monthly

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Upon the fourth
anniversary Of Great Britan's entry
INTO The war the Secretary of the Ad-
mlralty makes public figures and facts
which throw an encouraging light upon
the naval situation of the Allies.
The British navy, apart from The
American forces which now form an
integral part Of its fighting strength,
consists at the present time of war
SHIPS and auxiliary craft whose total
displacement reaches 100000 tons,
against . 100000 in August. 1914. Dur
ing that period about three-Qu4rters Of
q million tons have been lost but At
the present day the growth of the feet
SHOWS an increase OF $50 per cent.
Similarly with the personnel. The
original $4,000 officers and men have
grown to $4,000
U-Boats Losing Power
Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord OF the
Admiralty, speaking in the House Of
Commons on March 5, 1918, was able to
express the opinion that the British
and American naval forces in the
North Sea the North Atlantic and the
English Channel were sinking subma-
rlnes as fast as they were built, and
on July 80, says the statement, he
made the welcome announcement that
during the last three months of the
first half of 1918 the world output of
tonnage exceeded the worlds losses
from all causes By no less than 100 600
tons a month.
AS 10 the means of defence against
submarines, figures are now availa BILE
which show that the convoy system has
played large part in overcoming the
submarine menace TO the ocean COM
munications of the Allies Whereas in
the period from April TO June of last
year, before the convoy system was
established, British steamers sailing to
and from the United Kingdom in the
main oversee trades suffered losses
through enemy action of Sal per cent
of their total number. The figures
since then have steadily diminished,
until in the period from March to June
of this year, during which 1913 per
cent of the ships were conveyed, the
losses have dropped to 1.23 per cent of
the total number of sailings in these
trades.
American troops who reached Europe
by July 27 Of this year totaled we'll
over 100000. Nearly half OF these
We're carried by American sh ps, and
the United States furnished for them
forty ocean escorts and 1856 escorts of
destroyers.
The total tonnage Of ships of all ma
tionalities conveyed in all trades since
the Introduction of the convoy system
is 61,691 900 of which 1913, 900, or ap-
proximately 81 per cent, has been lost
while IN convoy.
Since August 4, 1914, the British
navy has transported nearly 20 900 900
men to different destinations. 1000 900
animals and 100000 tons of naval
and military stores.
The men lost through enemy action
during the Transportation bear the
proportion of to every 5000 carried.
