5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, flours, and meals, corn,

'etera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
uctS whatever, except a very small
mount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subSist perfectly well with the use of
, less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week. and we specially
ask the well-to-dO households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme in order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves 70 so large a pro-
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
s0lutely demanded of us TO maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary cO-opera-
ton of the public by further Iimita-
ton of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience sacrifice
and cooperation of the distributing
rades.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL,

A general idea Of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July |. 1914. to
January l, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Adj
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly ratio1s for 57,1OO,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for - 1880 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour TO the three principal allies IS
equivalent TO about 3S4 600 900 bushels.
Pork exports for the az years amount
ed to almost 2,OO0OOO 600 pounds. Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled 443. 4S4. 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
10 Russia is negligible comnared with
that sent TO the western allies.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat ratiOns.
Great stocks of wheat are iSO-
lated In India, and Australia. AT
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced TO Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1, Australia had
stored 1O0.000000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of S0,OOO,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S00O0,OOO bush
els waiting for ships.
India. at the same time, mad
7O.OO0O00 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
50,0O0.0O0 huSnelS more ou' Oh
the new crop will be added TO
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ming season with 11,Ouo,OOO
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export The
new crop will add l35.OOo'OOo to
the left over.
Ii is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world-it is entirely a problem
of shipping. which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
l. HOuSehOlders to use not to exceed
q total of IA pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than IL pounds of
victory bread containing the rec llred
percentage of substitutes and One-hnf
pound of cooking -four, macarOnl,
crackers. pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined
2. Public eating places and clubs TO
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstufIs. macarOni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes. wheat
brea kfaSt cereals, containing total
of more than two ounces of wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
each ninety meals served, thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
of the hOuSeholders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of barrel OF flour to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than One-quarter of barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
b fore, and corresponding proportions
i'm other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their

by Mrs. Rinehart that
no other author gets
a deeper thrill in the

Big Moving Picture Exhibitor

motion picture bureau OF the Army
and Navy Y. M. G. A. in the South
eastern Department, states that at
present GA movie shows are givon
monthly in II camps and naval sta
tions in these seven states. over
so moving picture machines are
used. By summer it is anticipated
that the number of shows to be
given monthly will, pass the 1000
mark, booked from Atlanta, Geor-
gia headquarters.
The Southeastern Department is
now running 100000 feet of film
monthly for the entertainment of
our boys in khaki and blue. That
is each month the Y. NJ. c. A. will
show in its 125sodd buildings in this
Department the equivalent of u film
5S1 miles long; picture capable,
in other words, of spanning the dis
tance from the Atlantic coast to the
Mississippi river or across the en-
tire Southeastern Department.
From the New York City office
of the Community Motion Picture
Bureau, which is the selecting and
distributing agent for practically all
the films shown by the Y. M. c. A.,
between four and five million foot
of film is the total recorded weekly
as being distributed through its
eight offices, one of which is in At
lanta, Georgia, serving the South
eastern Department. When the full
quota of Army "Y" buildings called
for are in operation, seven and q
half million feet of film will be re-
quired weekly.
If one man were to watch a pic
ture the aggregate length of time
that all the soldiers and sailors in
the country watch the movies every
two weeks, that man would still
have q century to sit and watch,
assuming that he first sat down be-
fore the screen at the beginning of
the Christian era and had remained
there eight hours a day, six days a
week ever since.

are shown, secured "over there"

The Army and Navy Y. NJ. c.. A,

ture Bureau, is now showing more
film at more places every night than

GERMAN AND SPANISH

~ TUDY of German has been
~ dropped by Rutgers College
~ and Spanish has~been substi-
tuted in its stead. There can be no
question as to the advisablity of
teaching Spanish, both in our col
leges and public schools, for much
of our future business will be trans
acted with people who speak the
Spanish language, but as for the
elimination of German, that is silly.
Because we are at war with that
power Is no reason why we should
bar ourselves from a knowledge of
the language. Indeed, it is all the
more reason why we should be able
to speak it fiuently. Much of Ger
many's success in foreign diplomacy
has been through the ability of her
agents to use with greatest facility
the tongues of their most hated
rivals. The more we know of the
German language the better we
shall be off as a nation, both now
and hereafter. German and Spanish
are closely linked in the trade cir
cles of Central and South America,

WESTWARD

Westward the happy islands hide
Where the Greeks knew their

To take their hire for toll, and bide
Remembering much, in all con-
tent.
And If folk phrases still hold truth
Strong meat within a warding
rind-
Out of war, the chosen youth
Pass West, and walk amongst
their kind.
Their elder brethren there, l think,
Change tales for tale with manly
joy;
And iron names pass over the drink:
Verdun Propontis - Aisne -
Marne-Troy.
Ulysses scans the tangled lines
A sapper draws, of trench and

And laughs to hear of burrowins
That cleared and won a bloody
ridge.
Jason, hearing from sailor men
Terse, salty gossip of the feet,
Feels in his fist an oar again,
Argo leaping under his feet.
And one who breathed of middle

And died in flight-at ease upon
A wind befriended hillock there,
Holds converse with Bellerophon.
Folk phrases still hold truth; their
clay
Shell smashed, gas livid-left
behind,
Our mother takes and uses: They
Pass West, and walk amongst
their kind.

FROG AND CAMPAIGN

II is not surprising that our DEM
ocratic brethren are showing
great solicitude over the choice
of the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. They realize that unless the
Republican party is hopelessly divid-
ed in the campaign this year there
is about as much chance for the cleo
ton of a Democrat as has a singed
cat in place described by Sherman
as applying to war.
So the busy little machinists of
the negative party now temporarily
in power are sitting up nights
scheming and plotting in the hope
of taking over Pennsylvania as part
of their party preserves. They are
unhappy over the prospect, of course,
but pretend to see in the more or less
hectic discussion of certain Repub-
lican aspirants a chance for politi-
cal "annexations and indemnities."
tt all looked quite simple a few
weeks ago for our friends, the
enemy, but a change has come over
their dreams recently and they are
now hearing from within their own
political household. Scores and
hundreds of Democrats are tired OF
many things and are determined to
bring about a change on their own
account. They are not going to be
herded like sheep or follow like chill
\ ron flo Dia6 piDnr
Also, it may be observed in pass
ing that there are very definite signs
of a more sane attitude toward con-
ditions among Republican leaders
and workers. They have had quite
enough of party divisions, and while
here and there a candidate will con-
tinue to strike right and left with his
fail of criticism the great body of
the party is determined that individ-
uals must step aside, if necessary,
for the welfare of the party as a
whole. 1t is regrettable that there Is
still so much personal animosity in
certain quarters, but the story of the
farmer who sold a New York hotel
a million frogs in the belief that the
noise he heard in the pond back of
his barn represented about that
many of the croakers, when invest-
CATION developed that there was only
one making the noise, applies in this
case. Mere noise never won a cam
paign and it will not do so this year.

RUSSIAN REVOLTS

Three real battles determined that
Bolshevism should rule in Russia
the fighting in Petrograd, Kieff and
Moscow. Kerenskys provisional
government had talked and talked
until even that talk-loving country
was tired. The workingmen, who
are the backbone of the Bolsheviki
or extreme radical party, are "prac-
ticap' men-men accustomed to
doing things with their hands. So
it was natural that they should
promptly resort to the argument of
arms.
Their own capacity for organiza-
tion was surely directed by more
comprehensive minds, else the al
most simultaneous battles in Petro-
grad, Kieff and Moscow could not
have been so swiftly staged nor so
successfully carried on. In Kieff I
was told that Austrian officers in
uniform openly fraterniZed with the
committees; and British and Ameri-
cans assured me that they knew for
a certainty that some of the artil-
lery in the battle of Moscow was
directed by German officers.
This is mere detail, for the whole
affair served the kaiser's purpose as
thoroughly as though every part
bore the Made in Germany" stamp,
William T. Ellis in the Saturday
Evening Post.
