may be made for one or all of four
purposes. (1) to provide for the pur-
chase Of land for agricultural uses,
I(2l to provide for the purchase of
equipment, feltilizers and live stock
necessary for the proper and reason
able operation of the land; (3) to pro-
vide buildings and for the improve
ment of the land; and (4) to pay ex-
isting debts

AMERICA MUST MOVE
QUICKLY TO SUPPLY
ALLIES PROVISIONS
England Was Full Two Years
In Striking Her Stride In
War Efficiency
BY Ed L. Keen,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Feb. e." england took two
years to become really effective in the
war; America must find her stride
much quicker"
A high British official made this
declaration to the United Press today
IN pointing out the striking parallels
of war progress in Great Britain and
the United States.
The official emphasized the vital
necessity of hurrying American food
shipments to the allies.
London officialdom is convinced that
America must speed up to the utmost if
the war is to be won on the battle
field.
Every trainload of foodstuffs tied
up, every ship delayed in American
ports is reflected in England, they said.
1t is frequently asserted here that
enough food is wasted in the larger
American cities to feed England, under
the latter's planned system of ration
ing.
Britishers agree that England would
have been far better off if rationipg
had been instituted long ago.
President Wilson's statement to
American farmers, urging increased
production, was displayed here prom
inently in all English newspapers, as
was Secretary Daniels announcement
of new anti-submarine device. The
widest interest is displayed in the
number of American soldiers being sent
to France, and Secretary Bakers state
ment in this regard is held encourag-
ing.
Americans may appreciate the magni-
tude of Britain IS forces on the west
ern front by the fact that 10000 Tom
mics have been enabled to come home
on leave during the past ten days.
