WORLDS FOOD SURVEY
[From the Pittsburgh Dispatchl

[From the Pittsburgh Dispatchl
Following Colonel Houses message
announcing the adoption by the
Versailles council of a resolution Of
fering cooperation with Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey in furnishing
the necessities of life to the suffer-
ing peoples of those countries, it is
stated that the American Food Ad-
ministration is making a survey of
the worlds food supply preparatory
to formulating a new food conserva-
tion for the American people Be-
fore the withdrawal of Austria, Bull
garia and Turkey from the war, 1t
had been announced that to supply
our Allies and neutral European coun-
tries alone, this country would be
asked to export 17.500.000 tons of
foodstuffs in the coming year. This
would be an increase of more than
100000 tons over what we did this
year. AS much more Is estimated as
likely to be needed If we take over
the feeding of the three former en-
emy nations who have surrendered.
Since 1t Is also intimated that we may
be called upon to feed Germany If
she surrenders. a demand for pos
sibly double our shipments of food
prospect calculated to stagger even
bounteous and generous America.
The decision to have world stock
taking of food before asking the
American people to attempt this feat
is therefore wise. The Allied coun-
tries have reported a gain of 312.-
100000 bushels of wheat over 1917.
This includes the United States. Can
ada, France. Italy. Great Britain and
British India, but does not include
Austria, which, according to reports.
has a similar surplus of its own
available for export. The opening
of the Dardanelles. the release of
Austrian shipping and the return to
the shorter route to India and Aus
tralia are factors that should make
the Indian and Australian crops
available and unlock any supplies
that may be, in Southern Russia. The
argument that Europe must draw on
America because of the scarcity of
shipping win mot be SO convincing
as it was during the war.

The United War Work Drive
General Felix Agnus Gives Strong Approval the Campaign
Which Opens Next Monday

the agency of the organizations as
transmitting bankers and that half
a million dollars is tied up in pos
tage stamps alone.
Miles and miles of motion picture
film have enlivened the recreation
hours of the actives, and the dull
and the pain-filled hours of the men
in hospitals!
And to further impress my read
ers with the mammoth work done,
let me quote from q report of the
United War Work Committee that:
More than 500 tons of supplies
for the boys leave our ports every
week under the direction of these
agencies. Individual items on the
shipping lists run into figures that
are astonishing; as for example,
these figures taken from the ship
ping lists of one organization, for
the period between July, 1917, and
August, 1918: Canned fruit, 1862
15. cans; chewing gum, 14,510,000
packages; cigarettes, S4S,7S5,S S02;
cigars, 32,358,7 700; tobacco, 2,557,-
4S1 packages; cocoa, 463,824 pounds;
condensed milk, 1,665,12O cans;
flour, S1,279,O2O pounds. sugar,
10,227,735 pounds; tooth paste,
561,520 tubes. In France and
Switzerland two cracker factories
and n chocolate factory have been
entirely taken over so that the boys
may have something good in their
pockets between meals"
1t has been thought that now
that peace is assured there will be
no further need for great relief
work. Let me warn the public
against such a mistaken idea. 1t
will be a year before our troops
demobilize. During that time hund-
reds of thousands of Allied soldiers
garrison the fortified cities of Ger
may be used to police Russia and
many and her accomplices.
Deprived of the thrill of the great
adventure of war these men will
need, as they have never needed
before, the guidance and help of
each one of the organizations; they
will need wholesome, clean recrea-
ton; mental and moral training,
lest there come back to our shores
men less com petent to take into
their hands the rule of the nation.
Give during the campaign when
it opens Monday; give, as asked
by the United War Work Committee,
at least one days pay each month
for six successive months. Even
then we will not be able to repay
our debt, but we can at least in
this way show our appreciation of
our men. FELIX AGNUS.

SPROUTS BIG MAJORITY
[Philadelphia Pressl

However the figures are inter-
preted, the fact remains indisput-
able that the myth of the liquor
vote" is pretty well discredited. The
fact that a man who had come out
squarely and unequivocally against
their interests and whom they had
threatened with all sorts of ven-
geance, could be elected Governor
of Pennsylvania by the largest maj
ority in it's history, and that in an
"off' year, tends to discredit their
political strength. 1t reduces them
in the viewpoint of practical politics
from Vote-producers to mere con-.
tributers to campaign funds, a func-
tion they probably will be allowed to
exercise by one or another political
chieftain as long as they feel like
doing it, The huge majority with
which Senator Sproul goes to Har-
risburg will tend to strengthen his
hands in every way. 1t seems likely
that he led his ticket. This ques-
ton lends interest to the awaited
returns from the Congressman-at-
Large positions, as the average mai
ority each receives will be taken as
the average party majority. One
report, WHICH may or may not be
true, had 1t that the highest vote
received by any candidate for Con-
ess-at-Large was about 10000. If
this should be the case, it would
show that Senator SpToul ran any
where from $4,000 to 100000 ahead
of his ticket.
The larger Senator Sprouts per-
sonal triumph, the less he is bound
to any leader or faction. He may be
in a position to show them by the
figures that he could have done
without the majority they can claim
as having been instrumental in CIV
ing him.

GERMANY IN CHAINS

"HE armistice terms as signed

chains. Once in effect the Ger
mans must accept whatever peace
requirements the Allies and America
may decide upon. Prussianism has
been stripped of it's arrogance and is
groveling in the dust. Kaiserism is
dead. Even Won Hindenburg, seeing
the handwriting on the wall, offers
what is left of the German armies to
do police duties for the new govern
ment, once new government is
firmly in the saddle.
The armistice is comprehensive
and all inclusive. 1t is drastic enough
to satisfy the most exacting. 1t re-
stores the lost provinces and guar
antees the eastern front. 1t protects
at the same time that it restores,
and best of all it acknowledges that
the German armies have been ut
terly defeated and wiped out of
existence by tho Allies, for upon its
armies Junkerdom based its bid for
world dominion.

When France-the unfortunate

against the Hunnish hordes and
when, a few years before our own
United States were rent asunder
and brother was arrayed against
brother in the cruel Civil War, in
those days, when a soldier left his
home he left it behind him. In this
war which now is drawing to q close
victorious for the AlliesA when our
soldiers bade goodbye to their fam
lilies they were assured that the vital
parts of home life - the elments
which safeguarded their physical
moral and mental welfare-would
follow them even to the first-line
trenches.
More than $1,000 uniformed
workers of the seven big relief or

death that our men might be cared

already done by the seven organi-
cations should convince any one that

occupied public attention that
in these days when the State
is coming out from the restrictions
imposed because of influenza it has
not been possible to accord COM

hard row to hoe.
But when the time came the Re-

and its members did not stop for
trains. They loaded the equipment
into trucks and started them across

HISTORY OF THE WAR

N" ITH the end or the war the
wv necessity of real preparation
for an accurate history of
Pennsylvania's part in the struggle
of the ages is emphasized. Cover
nor-elect Sproul is particularly in
terested in this matter, and, as he
has been identified with matters
having to do with the history of the
State, he may be trusted to give
proper impulse and direction to the
authoritative record of the achieve
ments of the Commonwealth.
This history, of course, will en-
brace every form of war activity.
There has been so much that was
important that each community will
be required to aid in the work. 1t
is going to be a great undertaking,
but capable men and women should
be commissioned to prepare a COM
prehensive plan which will give as
surance of an accurate and abso-
lutely dependable history that will
cover every war activity, however
insignificant as compared with the
bigger things of mobilization and or
ganization of troops.
Now is the time to begin this
work and it ought not be permitted
to drag over long period of years.
In fact, while the records are fresh
and the memory of those who are
familiar with what has been done
is acute is the time to put into
permanent and imperishable form
the story of the part of q great
State in helping to save civilization
and in safeguarding justice and lib
erty throughout the world.

RUM INFLUENCE DEAD

A WRITER for the Philadelphia
~ Public Ledger, interviewing
Governor-ele Sproul, said he
gathered from the conversation that
the new Governor believes the in
fiuence of the liquor interests in the
politics of the state to be dead.
Senator Sproul is in position to be
very certain of that. In his fight
for the Governorship the rum inter
ests were lined up solidly for Judge
Bonniwell, his opponent. They made
boast of what they intended to do
to the Republican candidate. They
threatened and they forecasted; they
worked and they spent their money,
but when the votes were counted
the Republican nominee, who made
his canvass on a distinctly dry"
platform, was so far in the lead that
his election was conceded by 10
o'clock the evening of election day
and his victory will now go down as
one of the greatest in the history of
politics in Pennsylvania.
The Bonniwell defeat laid forever
the old political bogey of the "liquor
interests" The day of booze and
politics hand in hand is past. The
people want none of the combina-
ton. Prohibition for the country is
just around the corner. John Barley
corn always was over-rated as vote
getter. To-day he stands as utterly
discredited as the Kaiser himself.
