of bitter contests. ..s- -.-u..
Only one unusual incident was re-
corded throughout the city. Sproul fol-
lowers in the twelfth division of the
Third Ward alleged that the Judge of
election had barred the door OF the
polling place at 73S South Ninth street
and had announced that only Bonniwell
votes would be accepted, An appeal to
City Hall brought Morris Roesch, su-
perintendent of elections. Before he ar
rived. however. followers of Harry
Trainer had climbed through window

To Go Through And Win

A French woman writing to an Am
erican housewife says: But, after all,
We have but one thought. 1t is to go
through and win" All American
housewives are at last awake to this
one thought. that this war is a dead
ly struggle for right and liberty, and
that every woman In the home. like
every man at the front, must be ready
to do her best to go through and win.
Further on, the letter reads: you
ask me to tell you what l think we
need the most. l think 1t 10 -four,
wheat. all cereals In fact We are
getting short Of many things. Every
thing is very expensive. Soap that
l bought for about so centimes (six
cents) four years ago. costs now near
ly 4 francs eighty oents) Olive oil
has advanced In the same proportion"
This Is an index to conditions In
France.
In Italy, there Is extreme need of
cereals and scarcity of meat, cod
fish and wheat.
England has met every reduction in
her ration with that same grim deter
mination with which she fights at the
front. She has taken from her own
diminished food stores and shared
with France.
II America is to go through and win
she must begin to share the sacrifices
as we'll as the victories of these brave
Allies. She must see that they have
their share of the worlds remaining
food supplies. The combined popula-
ton Of the allied European countries
Is about 143,000,000. 1t is the part of
every man, woman and child here in
America to see that In so far as pos
sible each shall have his share of the
food supply.
The story Of why they want wheat
has been told so often 1t needs no re-
telling here. Americas reserve supply
or wheat was gone by December and
since than we have been sending them
only what could he saved from individ-
ual consumption. Gradually the Amer
lean people have cut down on con-
sumption until they were able in the
single month Of March, 1918 to ship in
wheat and its products the equivalent
of 100000 bushels. This shows what
genuine patriotism can accomplish.
A still further reduction is demand,
ed, however, If any wheat at all shall
be left to send abroad. Shall we not
willingly and gladly give up all wheat
In our diet for the next ninety days, il
by so doing we can help the Allies, as
well as our own Army at the front, to

recently by British officer to an Am
erican audience.
And who, having heard 1t, having
realized the necessity for the cry from
the brave nations of Europe, can help
saving wheat
There are two definite appeals to US
voiced there.
The one is to patriotism and to COM
mon sense. The Allies cause is our
cause; our men are fighting shoulder
to shoulder with their men. II food
fails the fighters must fail; the war
must be lost. None of us are too ig-
norant to know what Germany VIC

men and children of the land. So,
our love Of country, our love Of our
homes, our every instinct of self-pres-
ervation must make us do each thing.
whether great or small, towards VIC
tory.
The other appeal is that of human
ity. Who can refuse to deny himself
because of his greediness, his love Of
his own food habits, when the thought
comes Of the Allies suffering?
Can any one with either sense or
sensibility keep on eating wheat pro-
ducts In the present need? Does 1t
not seem petty disgusting weakness
