America Deeper In This War

BY President Ray Lyman Wilbur,
Of stanford University.

We must realize that we are

nation, for we have said, through
our President, that our peace Is to
be with the German people, not
with the Hohenzollern. We have
then the problem of providing the

In history with millions Of trained
veterans under his control. To do
this, we must see the issues clear
ly and back UP those at the front
by our actions each hour Of each
day. The morale OF the fighting
armies will settle this war. We
must see that the morale of our
men and that of those who fight
with us is kept at high tide. We
can do so II they can feel our sup
port all of the time.
Now is the great opportunity OF
the American people to demon

ment is a success. IL we do not

willingly get behind those who
fight and die for US, in every phase
OF our life, and now particularly
realize that food 10 powder to win
the war, then we are going to fail
in this, our immediate pressing
duty, and be a despised and hum

united democracy fighting our way
forward toward a final victory.
There can be but one outcome of
this war and we must steel our
selves for any misfortune, for any
reverse, with our minds united and
fixed upon the idea Of final vio-
tory.

IN FLANDERS FIELD

Lieutenant Colonel John G. McCrea,
an officer serving with the British
forces in Flanders, wrote a short poem
that was printed In Punch. During
the war men serving In the field have
written several that will live long after
they themselves have been resolved
TO dust. Taking high rank among
these noble offerings is Colonel Nc
Crea's poem, In Flanders Fields. We
print It here:
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, while In the
sky
The larks, still singing bravely, fly
Unheard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn. saw sunsets glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch, be yours to hold 1t high,
II ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies
blow
In Flanders Fields.
Colonel McCrea himself now sleeps In
Flanders Fields. New rows of crosses
have been added to the old. There in
the long alignment he has found his
place. He who lived, felt dawn, saw
sunsets glow, loved and was loved.
now with his comrades lies In Flanders
Fields. Let us take up his quarrel
with the foe. To US he flung the torch.
1t is ours to hold 1t high and carry
on. As we keep faith so shall they
sleep we'll where poppies blow on
Flanders Fields.
IL is not for all of us to serve in
uniform. For every one who takes his
place In the trenches scores must re-
main at home. We, too, can help-we,
too, be torch bearers. 1t Is as we buy
bonds we keep our faith with those
who fought our fight, and dying, died
reposing trust In US. Shall they have
died In vain? Shall their trust be
broken?

The Food Administration by per-
mission of the White House makes
public the following letter, written by
Mr.. Hoover to the President:
IL July, 1918.
Dear Mr.. President:
1t is now possible to summarize the
shipments of foodstuffs from the
United States to the Allied countries
turing the fiscal year just closed
practically the last harvest year.
These amounts include all shipments
20 Allied countries for their and our
armies. the civilian population, the
Belgian Relief and Red Cross. The
ngures indicate the measure OF effort
Of the American people in support OF
Allied food supplies.
The total value of these food ship
ments which were in the main pur-
chased through, or with the collabora-
ton of, the Food Administration,
amount to, roundly, $1,400,000,0 900 dur
Ing the fiscal year
The shipments Of meats and fats
Qncludes meat products, dairy pro-
ducts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied
destinations were as follows:
Fiscal year
1861 ......... .2,166, 500, 900 lbs.
Fiscal year
1918 ......... 3,011 100000 lbs.
Increase ........ 844, 100000 lbs.
Meat Exports
Our slaughterable animals at the
beginning of the last fiscal year were
not appreciably larger than the year
before and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by
our farmers. The full effect Of these
efforts began to bear their best re-
suits In the last half of the fiscal year
when the exports TO the Allies were
2,133, 100000 pounds, as against l.
G66,5OO,000 pounds In the same period
Of the year before. This compares
with an average OF S01,000,O0O pounds
Of total exports for the same half
