From the time Indiana entered the

thought your efforts frutless, and call

sure you have questioned the wisdom
of some of the orders that have been
given you--but you have never re-
fused to obey them. And now, after
serving in the army of the Food Adj
minstration for more than year you
are called here to receive further
orders.
For us, service did not cease when
the armistice was signed. The men
in khaki may leave the environments,
our sailors will leave their camou-
flaged battleships, and the cramped
quarters of our Gestroyers to join the
Merchant Marine that in these few
months has grown, a tonnage un-
dreamed of before the war But in
every home the fight with food must
go on-no longer to win the war-but
to save humanity, not to destroy the
enemies of civilization, but to defeat
anarchy and ruin, and to strengthen
the hungry millions who, newborn in
to the freedom of self-government,
must yet until famine and riot have

habits overnight. The only difference
is that now we have no longer the de-

are not asking our people to save
food for the Belgian children or the
men in the battle line. We are ask
ing them to save food for Russians,
