Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1918-12-26

"A loou map vi h4urope today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms there liz famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
we'll AS Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
tlOn from the other nations to the peo-
pie OF the United States America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and Is already making special
efforts TO care for their Increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent In the extreme and
must have immediate relief
The gratitude Of the Belgian nation
fur the help America has extended to

strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German

tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives OF
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such map for Ameri.
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem il she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
TO distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers
England, France, the Netherlands
und Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food TO meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties The same Is true Of
Spain and the northern neutral cOun-
trles-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able TO draw TO some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia Is already in the
throes of famine, and 100000 people
there are beyond the possibility OF
help Before another spring thou

From Double Pneumonia

Mrs. Songer, wife o. Or. Wes-

es ent from a most dangerous
experience with influenza which
turned to pneumonia of the doub-
lie type whereby both lungs were
affected. Her life was despaired
of. and only by most careful
treatment was she carried thru
a most dangerous condition. DR..
McNabb of Whitwell, was called
to attend her as well as a gov
ernment specialist. She was a.

gions, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
tion is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania 50 serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. AL
though starvation Is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throcs Of serious strin-
gencies
In order to fulfil Americas pledge
in world relief we will have TO export
every ton of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least minimum OF 20,000,000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,820,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail TO tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or II we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts OF
Europe repetition of the Russian de-
hacle and our fight for world peace
will have been In vain.
