OUR SAVED FOOD
 FED THE ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi- dent America Conserved 141,-
 100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by
 4,6oo,ooo Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by the American people enabled the Unit ed States to ship to the Allied peoples and to our own forces overseas 141,- GOO. 900 bushels of wheat and S44 60O,- GOO pounds of meat during the past year, valued in all at $1,400,O00, 900. This was accomplished in the face of serious food shortage in this country, bespeaking the wh0leheartedness and patriotism with which the American people have met the food crisis abroad.
 Food Administrator Hoover, in a let ter to President Wilson, explains how the situation was met. The voluntary conservation program fostered by the Food Administration enabled the piling up of the millions of bushels of wheat during 1917-1S and the shipment of meat during 1917-1S.
 The total value of all food ship ments to Allied destinations amounted to $1,400,000000, all this food being bought through or in collaboration with the Food Administration. These figures are all based on official reports and represent food exports for the harvest year that closed June 30, 1918.
 The shipments of meats and fats (including meat products, dairy prod ucts, vegetable oils. etc.,) to Allied des- tinations were as follows:
 Fiscal year 1916-17 9 166, 300 900 lbs. Fiscal year 1917-1S. :. 3011, 100 900 lbs.

S44,600,O lbs.

Increase c4f,OOU,OUU IDS.
 Our slaughterable animals at the be- ginning of the last fiscal year were not appreciably larger than the year be- fore 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 results in the last half of the fiscal year, when the ex- ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100000 pounds, as against 1,266 100000 pounds in the same period of the year before. This compares with an average of SO1 100000 pounds of tot~l exports for the same half years in the three-year pre-war period
 In cereals and cereal products re duced to terms of cereal bushels our shipments to Allied destinations have been:
 Fiscal year 1916-17.. 259900,0O0 bushels Fiscal year 1917-1S. .340, 800, ,000 bushels

Why Jap Wants Intervention
In Russia 5 Chaotic affairs

Toxic, July l8.-(Correspondent
OF The Associated Pdess. )--One OF
the arguments set forth here in ia
vor of combined intervention by
the Entente nations in Siberia was
that it was imperative as a military
diversions. The European nations
in the Entente were represented as
believing that if the expeditionary
forces did not penetrate into Russia
as far as the old battle line on the
eastern front. it would nevertheless
relieve the French front and force
the Germans again to prepare to
meet an adversary on the eastern
front.
1t was urged here that an expedi-
ton composed of forces of the lead
ing Entente nations would be abso-
lutely friendly toward Russia and
would rally to the German domina-
ton. 1t was also contended that
such an expeditionary force would
counteract the economic and indus
trial, as we'll as political, penetra-
ton of Russia by the Germans.
The indications here are that the
\cconomic aspects of the war are
attaining a very important stage and
the belief is expressed that if Rus
sia is left alone there is danger OF
her falling permanently under the
economic grip of the Germans.
France, which has made immense
loans to Russia, was said here to
believe that military move from
the East. cautiously conducted,
would save something to the entente
of their tremendous economic inter-
ests in Russia.
England was described as fear
ing German advance towards the In
dian frontier and as feeling that a
Joint intervention would protect the
situation in that direction.
Japan and China, who are now
united in military agreement, have
the interest of protecting themselves
against the advance of the German
menace to the Far East and are be-
lieved to be sympathetic to any pro-
ject which would check possible
eastern aggressions.
Still another consideration raised
here as justifying intervention is
that Germany is steadily employing
Russians in her munition plants and
general enterprises connected with
the war and is thus able to relieve
a large number of her own citizens
for service on the western front.
This development is declared to be
4 new menace which is liable to
lengthen the war. Advocates Of in
tervention insist that it should be
of nature to hold and reconstruct
Russia.
From military standpoint, it is

correspondent "Washington has OIL

ton will come Immediately"
The opponents of intervention
question its advisability. They think
it would be steadily opposed by the
bolsheviki and prove to be an error
similar to that of Gallipoli and Ru-
mania.

The element OF investment has en-

ma invested largely from patriotism
and blind faith in representations

tary McAdoo and congress. Late, as
educational propaganda was extend

felt that in order TO check Hun out

the standpoint of investment. This
has worked out so well and has in
duced many salaried men earning
fronF $1,000 to 10000 a year to place
their earnings in bonds in order to
