Food Problem Will Last
After War Is Ended

just as the Maryland Food Admin
istration advised the public to sus-
pcct rumors of enemy collapse as
possible traps set by the foe, it now
urges that even well-substantiated
prophecies of the cessation Of hos
tilities be regarded only as mile
stones on Americas triumphal path
and by no means as the goal Even
tIIe advent OF peace itself will not
straig htway solve this nations food
problems.
The program announced by Her
bert Hoover for next year provides
for an increase of 5,730,000 tons in
the amount of food stuffs we are to
shin to Europe Though the figures
were based on the assumption that.
active warfare would continue, our
task cannot be materially lightened
even though the foe lays down his
arms. The food shortage will not
end till two things come to pass.
First, millions of fighting men who
. are uON COuSl lltSlS must UCSOtAiS pl
ducers again and the world have
time to harvest the crops they sow.
Second, the ships now engaged in
the transport of troops and NUM-
lions must be returned to the ordi-
nary routes of commerce..
Whenever peace does come, the
task of repatriating the Allied forces
will be gigantic 1t may be expected
i that the short hauls' will be the
| first undertaken; that is, General AL
lenbys force will be returned from
Palestine to India, while the Saloni-
! XII contingents Will be shipped to
Naples and Marseilles. The British
/ Army, to a large extent, may cross
| the Channel in Iren-of-war, but as for
most a million of them-paSsenge
ships will be needed to carry them
to their homes. AS most of these
have seen three or four years service
/ the L. S A., despite its Impotence to
have its own boys back, will no
doubt generously yield to their prior
claim upon the transportation facili
ties. 1t may be added that the ma
jority of our troops We're either car
ried or conveyed by the ships of our
Allies.
Of our Sammies, a popular song
declared They won't come back till
it's over, over there" 1t is highly
probable that they will remain

TRUE AMERICAN
SPIRIT Of TRENCHES
Officers Shake and Ask Salute Be
Forgotten for the Time

New York, April 5.-''Isn't that
bully? True American!'
This is what one of the Young
Mems Christian Association workers
overseas has written back in telling
Of the first American soldiers that
came back from the front-Ine
trenches.
The incident that he called true
Am erican'' is contained in the fol-
lowing extract from one Of his let
tiers.
g. These boys turned out to
be among those who went first into
the front-Iine trenches. They said it
was strange and terrible experience,
and that they felt that only wonder
full luck, or the protection of God
brought them out safe. [ suppose
that is the feeling of all who are for
the first time experiencing trench
life, even in a quiet sector.
Dent Salute: Shake" the Officers
LAS they went, they passed some OF
our officers, and, of course. saluted.
Z" Don't salute us, boys. Shake
hands,. the officers said. You're the
first ones up
wasn't that bully? True Ameri-
CAM
This is just one of the incidents he
tells that show the "bully' spirit Of
our soldiers overseas, their true
American" tendency to grin, under
trying circumstances. Even the sol
diers in the French hospital where
he spent some weeks showed these
traits, he says. and were known to
doctors and nurses as the smiling
Americans He writes of them thus

in the manner in which the war
will be carried on, because even
before President Wilson recon-
,mended the declaration, Austria
was allied with Germany and
naturally against the United
States. The only problem to
confront the members of Con-
gress and the President in max
ing the resolution law was the
alien enemy question.
This matter is more serious
even than the similar question
which arose when war was de-
clared upon Germany. Germans
who came to this country before
the war did so merely to use
their respective trades and pro-
fessions to better advantages
and to have larger field. Prac-
tically all Germans in the United
States at the outbreak of the
war were skilled workmen or
professionals. Each was expert
in his particular line but the en-
tire German population here
represented no particular class.
The case of the Austrians and
Hungarians in the United
States at present is decidedly
different because they belong
entirely to the laboring class.
Dissatisfaction arising among
these people over the admins
tration of the alien enemy laws
would result disastrously to
several industries and particul-
arly to mining.
