THE SUPREME ISSUE.

Food is the issue of the moment in Europe,
according to DIR. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president
Of Stanford University. DR.. Wilbur has been
connected with the work of the food admins
tration ever since it started and has made trips
among residents of the famine stricken districts
of Europe.
Revolutions are made in bread lines" accord
ing to Dr. Wilbur. Russia's dropping out of the
war was because of hunger. The people became
hungry then began to starve, and the revolution
followed. People who without food fight,
but they fight only for food. Mr.. Hoover, who
knew the situation, predicted the revolution in
Russia
The United States is saving the situation to-
day in critical spots, by seeing that the people
get bread. According to DR.. Wilbur, there is a
great race going on between Germany and the
United States. Germany is making desperate
efforts to win before the full strength of the
United States can be felt, and the United States
is trying to get in before Germany win.I 1t
is better for Germany to lose million men in
winning the war than to win million men in
losing it." says Dr. Wilbur. eff we lose the war
we lose the world"
We must be willing to go on and fight this
war, even if Paris and London are lost.
1t is faith in us and what we are going to do
that is going to be the big deciding factor in this
war. 4cach officer told DR.. Wilbur that it
was faith in what Mr. Hoover could and would
