SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers; Urged by Food Adminlstra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner thresbing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed. threshermen and farmers of the
United States. this year saved fully
16,000000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person In
the country. This result accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley
oats, rye and other grains, Is shown by
reports from 80 grain states to the U.
5. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures Of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saying achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
3A per cent.--the estimated average
In normal times-to the lowest possi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired
In numerous instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop, cases Of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success Of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions of dollars "ln pocket"
as q result Of the grain saved.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil Populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
.rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. IN the past year we
have carried out an export program
the magnitude of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 1920
600 tons, We must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
.year--as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, 1t would have been impos-
sible for them 10 maintain their de-
fense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have concfdsiyely proved that democ-
racy is success ana that in time Of
need it will rise to its own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that 1t
has shown the strength of democracy
has In itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
in the eyes Of the world
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas 8
food problem on basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, "and the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months In the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratlc Germany. Germany
has been confident that It could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many di-
rections and upon the mere word Of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances
The history of the Food AdmiHistra-
tion has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ-
racy hasenot been misplaced.

GOLF LINKS, EFT GET.
Corvallis Gazette-T -Times)

Editor ingalls, must be looking hope
fully toward tho goal that comes with

ing the laying out of golf links at
Corvallis Journal.
Nay, nay, Pauline, not so. AS a strict
ly professional secret we do not mind
telling you, as one newspaper man to
another, that the G. T. favors the golf
course for purely mercenary reasons. AS
more and more legislation is designed
to hamper the country press in an Of
fort of one big publisher to put it out
of business, the G. t. hopes when the
sheriff finally nails the sale notice over
the door, to be abel to retire to the
Corvallis Golf Links and caddy for the
college professors. Perhaps Sam Jack
son and DR.. Chapman may come down
to advocate that the course be owned
by the state. Before deciding to ref
erend the matter, no doubt they may
want to test the cou1se to see if it is
worth owning. Then perhaps the G.. T..
editor may bask in the sunshine Of
their glory as he caddies for the great
men. AS the pearls of wisdom drop
from the lips of this Lenine-Trotzky
duo, among swine as it were, the hum
BILE caddy expects to garner them in

NEW ISSUES BROUGHT
out IN PRELIMINARY
PEACE DISCUSSIONS
Proposed To Divide German
Navy Among AIies.---Unit-
ed States Not Favorable.

Omitted Press staff correspondent

| UNITED Press Btaff correspondent
Paris, Nov. 30.-The pulse Of interna
tional politics is visibly quickening a;
additional issues are cautiously brought
out in the formal preliminary peace
| discussions.
The principal new issue is the propo.
sition TO divide the German navy
among the allies The United Press il
able to state on good authority that
this would not be received favorably
by the United States, which is not de-
WAITING from its course that it wants
nothing out Of the war Az the same
time, the psychological effect on the
world Of such a division of boche i'm
lements of war would be that it was
not in keeping with the ideals for
which America fought, if the latter
accepted a portion Of the surrendered
fleet.
Object is Obvious
The obvious object CT the suggested
! division among the allied nations is
that such distribution would result in
increasing the combined bulk Of the
European navics to such an extent as
yeritably to dwarf the fleet of Ameri-
ca which is entitled to maintain equal
sea power in the league Of nations.
Colonel House will not attend the
conference Of allied leeders in London.
His doctors have ordered him to re-.
main in bed. The United States thus
will be unrepresented at the meeting Of
allied premiers.
Paris Amazed
Paris newspapers arc giving promi'
nenle to dispatches regarding the po'
litical furore which President Wilson 3
coming trip to France created in his
own country. The fact that such an in
tcrnal squabble could gain 50 much
prominence at present is creating
amazement in European circles. Here,
the only question resulting from the
president g trip is the selection, from
the rush for applicants for representa-
tives of all classes to welcome him for
mally.
The allied delegations will begin ar
riving next week. The British alone
will number between 300 and 400, in
cluding experts on al subjects. The
resultant shortage in hotel accommo-
dations is acute.
Italy's King to Frarce
King Victor Emanuel Of Italy is ex-
pected to reach Paris the middle Of De
eember. The crown prince Of Serbia
will be the next member Of royalty TO
arrive.

expressed here privately on several Oc-
easions by entente and neutral repre-
sentatives.
Lord Milner, according to London
reports. warns allied statesmen against
holding ont for drastic changes in Ger
many. declaring that this would result
in stiffened resistance by Germany.
Diplomats are carefully studying re-
ports reaching here today of socialist
and trades unien protests IA Germany
in which more food and easier working
conditions were demanded of the gov
eminent.
Protests From Trades Union
SpeAesmen for one delegation re-
Gently, appealing to the chancellor,
declared:
1.-THE whole nation has becsme ter
ribly dispirited as to the result of do
nestle political events Of the last few
weeks. Representatives of the German
working classes win no longer look on
as spectators while the nation sinks
from one stage to another, economic
ally.n
Delegates openly protested against
the food shortage, demanded shorter
working hours to 'sparalyze under
nourishment" and regarding the fail
ure to make franchise reforms deelar-
ed:
1.-THE people are turning in angry
embitterment away from the comedy
in the Herrenhaus (the upper Prussian
chamber"
Reputation of the pan-Germans
was demanded by another delegate.
The trades unionists and socialists
wanted hearing in the determination
of the peace policy of the government.
One Newspaper View
The following excerpt from Erzberg-
er S organ, the Neue Zurzher Nachrich'
ten was read with interest:
''Some time ago we were informed
in quarter in very close touch with
the entente that Britain. France and
Italy were resolved to avoid fifth
war winter. Now we learn that high
placed neutrals in Berlin are confident
4 that the war will not survive 1918
These statements should be received
with caution. The military and polite.
al situation by no means points to an
early termination of the war;
i The organ remarks, however, that
there is the growing anxiety of Eu
ropean financial circles at the pros
peet of continuation of the war."
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1918-10-18

something in the way Of a reply will
come from the reichstag session. On
both points, the government professed
early today to be in the dark. How
ever, it is anticipated that before many
days the nation will find some new
phase of the German peace offensive,
for there is no mistaking the German
desire for peace and the German ef-
fort to keep the peace subject alive,
authorities say.
Danger of Bolshevism
Bolshevism appears growing through
out Germany and is even penetrating
the army according to entente and neu-
tral diplomats here today. Thriving on
military defeat, food shortage and gen
eral war WEAKNESS. extreme socialists
are growing bslder as they see popular
support increasing, according to meag-
er information seeping out through
tight German censorship.
Hopes were expressed guardedly by
neutral and allied diplomats that Ger
many would head off this movement
by establishment of liberal govern
ment. Diplomats are openly apprehns-
i've lest growing bolshevik spirit IN
Germany invade surrounding neutral
and allied countries and result in a
reign Of disorder throughout Europe.
Reported warning by Lord Miner,
British war minister, that it is to the
allies interest to see stable govern
ment maintained in Germany aroused
