The Actual Wheat Situation.

Recent press dispatches widely circu-
lated through the country have given
the wholly false impression that there
is no longer need for rigorous conserya-
ton of wheat and flour. The food ad-
ministration declares that every aspect
of the wheat situation both present and
prospective intensifies the need for the
greatest possible limitation in the
American consumption of wheat and
wheat products. lfpresent restrictions
should be in the slightest degree relax
ed it would result in serious want for
the people of Europe before the new
crop can reach the market.
The Food Administrations estimate
of the position on the first of June indi-
Gates total available supply until the
new harvest, including the grain which
will be available from the farms in
country and terminal elevators and mill
elevators of about $4,000, 600 bushels.
Of this 80. 000, 900 bushels must be ex-
ported before new wheat is available
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1918-06-20

for export, if we are to maintain the
absolutely necessary shipments to our
Army and the Allies. That leaves
about $4,000, 900 bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
Normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels
month so that the most liberal consump-
ton at home would be only one-third of
normal.
In addition to the wheat on the farms
and in elevators there is always an
indeterminate further amount in transit
and in dealers hands and this can never
be reckoned in with the flour available
for use for export and use at home.
AS a matter of fact this stock is not
actually available since these supplies
must remain constantly in flow; they
remain permanent stock the removal
of which would later cause a period of
acute shortage in distribution before
new wheat would be available.
There is further an inclination to in
clude new crop prospects with present
conditions which has led to confusion.
The harvest will not be generally
available in flour until middle August or
early September, although in the
extreme south it will be somewhat
earlier.
At meeting Of the Federal Food
Administers in Washington Yesterday,
representing all forty eight States. it
was the unanimous view that even if
the harvest does prove abundant it will
be the first duty of the American people
to place every grain they can save into
storage as against possible bad years
ahead. In consequence there should be
no anticipation of unlimited wheat bread
until the war is over.
Some of the most inconyenient re-
strictions can no doubt be modified with
the arrival of large harvest, but if we
are honest with ourselves we will main
tain restrictions requiring the use of
commercial; we will continue the re-
quirements of high milling extraction
and the elimination of the non essential
use of and waste in flour and bread.
1t is worth remembering that the
famine in Egypt eight thousand years
ago was saved by little governmental
foresight and it does not require any il
Illuminating dream to anticipate that so
long as the war lasts with its increasing
drafts foreoldiers and munition workers
the world will steadily produce less
food. If we are wise great harvest
will mean the willing building up of
great National reserves.

ONLY SMALL PART OF
TIME SPENT AT FRONT
Soldiers Do Not Rush From Troop
Ships to Battle as at Beginn-
ing of War.

Behind British Lines In France, May
10-The young soldier under orders to
embark for the first time who pictures
to himself future which will be all
fighting days and sees himself step
from troopship to be rushed to battle
as did the first British divisions sent to
the rescue at Mons. is doomed to dis
appointment.
Asa matter of fact, he will spend
only a small proportion of his time in
the front line, and even while there,
will only see actual fighting at more or
less rare intervals. Life will hold
good deal of base" and "billets"
for him even in France.
This time spent far behind the lines
he will find irksome or pleasant. accord
ing to whether his temperament is eager
and enterprising or reverse. For the
great majority, however, billets and
base camps are very pleasant. The
food is excellent, WORK is comparatively
light and amusements are plentiful,
The Associated Press correspondent
paid visit the other day to a huge
artillery base camp, situated on the
French coast near some famous bathing
beaches and within easy reach of big
city. Within the camp, which also
serves for large number of engineers
and some special infantry units are
several theatres, the canteens of the
British Expeditionsry Force, the lounge
rooms and huts of the Young Mems
Christian Association and various camp
Institutes" and athletic grounds. Here
the soldier can have fairly comfort
able and enjoyable vacation.
Most of the men enjoy the varied
opportunities for amusements to the
full. Occasionally one meets a few
men, probably just over from England,
who are impatient at every days delay
in moving forward to the business end
of the line" The sergeant-major
soothes them with wise words;
Don't worry, boys" he says,
there's going to be lots of fighting in
this war, enough for all of you and
little over to spare.
1t is the custom at this base, so far
as artillery officers are concerned, to
distinguish between those who have not
yet been up to the firing line and those
who have had their baptism. The
former have fairly complete program
of daily drills and are kept occupied also
with lectures and educational courses.
The veterans are permitted to forego
these trials to a large extent. They
have little to do but amuse themselves
with sports, theatres, operas and the
beach, subject only to the stipulation
that they must always be prepared to
move off at few hours notice.
Throughout the army, in the ordi-
uary course of things, the individual
soldier gets rest period at the base
every two or three months. Some
times a whole unit comes down for
rest, after an exceptionally arduous
period in the line. Then there are
specially organized sports, in addition
to the standing attractions, to help the
soldier to forget for time that there
is war on.
Between amusements. the soldier
spends his time hunting up "towneys."
that is, men from his own town who
are in other units at the base.
