THIS WEEKS FOOD FACTS.

On December 3-after one week in
Europe-Herbert Hoover cabled the
food administration that the situation
did not yet admit Of the formulation
of definite program, as negotiations
with allied governments regarding the
shipping, and organization of the food
needs were still in progress. Before
leaving Mr.. Hoover arranged for the
purchase and dispatch of 100000 tons
Of food to meet the most urgent calls.
The first Of the ships carrying this
food had been reported as having pas
sed Gibralter carrying SUPPLIES to
southern Europe.
Liberated territories are daily and
urgently calling upon the U. S. for
food, pending the determination of
complete program for distribution"
says Mr. H0Over's cable. 1.-The press
ing demand for food is obvious. Our
point of view has been changed from
war necessity to a humanitarian ap-
peal. The need for voluntary cooper
alton, as distinguished from enforced
regulations, therefore becomes in
creasingly apparent"
Which means that in the midst of
our plenty of now we must be prepar-
ed to meet call for more definite
conservation, if the need becomes an
appeal.
Do you realize that in Poland and
Serbia hardly a child is left alive?
The Hun may be defeated but Hunger
has followed in his wake The fields
are choked with weeds and those who,
in times past titled them into fertility
are scattered over a hundred battle
fields. Women are left alone to care
for the aged and the MANNED. Will
you help them?
At this holiday season put a new
leaf in the Common Table," Many
of our new guests haven't had a square
meal for long time and never had a
square deal.
The need of fats abroad is great
The food administration is asking the
American housewife if she wastes fat
by serving baked ham with large por-
tions of fat on the edge; by throwing
away fat trimmend from beef or other
fresh meet; by using heavy cream; by
IL AA6 4OOu III uOOp law W o0A VAAA6
large portions of butter; by frying
food when it would be as well or bet
ter to bake or stew it.; by making pies
and other pastries when simpler des-
serts would be more nourishing?
Last June the prices of food and
other articles at Liege had increased
over pre-war prices, from two cents
per kilO for potatoes to eighty cents:
five cents per. kilo for -four to $3.50;
ten cents per kilo for rice to $500;
fifty cents per kilo for bacon to $780,
sixty cents per kilo for butter to $6.40;
seventy cents per kilo for meat to
$500; two cents per kilo for eggs to
twenty-five cents; eighty cents per
kilo for tobacco to $1,000; four cents
package for cigarettes to ninety cents;
twenty cents per spool Of silk to $500;
and eight cents for spool of cotton
thread to 1920. Later these prices
mounted much higher. A kilo equals
about 20 pounds.

Of a sugar famine were given by

the food situation generally was

Neu York Cifg
Paper German
OUned, ge

New York, July 9-Through the
checking of financial transactions
international in scope, by which it
is alleged the New York Evening
Mail became the property of the i'm
perial German government, state
and federal authorities caused the
arrest late yesterday OF DR.. Edward
A. Rumely. An intimation that bail
of 100000 would be demanded
when DR.. Rumely is arraigned to-
day on a perjury charge indicated
the seriousness with which the gov
ernment views the case.
Instead of being American owned,
as DR.. Rumely, who is vice presl-
dent, secretary and publisher OF the
Evening Mail, is alleged to have
stated to A. Mitchell Palmer, alien
property custodian, the Mail in fact,
according to Merton Z. Lewis, state
attorney general, and Harold Har-
per, assistant United States district
attorney, is owned by the imperial
German government. The arrest of
Dr. Rumely, which caused a senSa-
tion in newspaper circles here fol-
lowed several weeks OF investiga-
ton covering the financial transac-
tion for the purchase of the Even
ing Mail
The first suspicion that German
money paid for the Mail, it is said,
came through an examination by
federal authorities of the books Of
Hugo Schmidt, the German fiscal
agent in this country.
The money, amounting to $l,36f,-
coo used in this transaction, which
Attorney General Lewis said has
been carefully traced and checked
up, was obtained in this country
through the sale of German war
loans.
The documents in the case, ,"At-
torney General Lewis stated, ''ipdt-
cate that Rumely purchased the
stock OF the Mail and express COM
pany from Henry l.. -Stoddard m
June, 1915. the money paid to
Rumely being drawn from deposits
of the German government at va
rious banks in the city OF New York,
these accounts standing in the
name of Bernstorff, the former am
bassador of Germany at Washing
TON, anu Ol DI- ileluIlCu Aibti L,
who was known as the commercial
attache of the embassy. The mon
ey was drawn from the joint &C
counts of Bernstorff and Albert
The transfers of the money we're
concealed in the following manner:
DR.. Albert procured various banks,
where the German government had
accounts in his own and Bern
storff's name, to issue cashiers
checks to the order of one Walter
Lyon, a member of the former Wall
street firm of RenskOrf, Lyon & Co.
This firm in turn paid the money
back to Lyon, who then transferred
IL to Rumely. We have the checks
which figured in these various
transfers"
Hearing in the case, involving al
legations by the government that
the Mail is owned by the German
imperial government, was deferred
for two weeks.

Paris, July 9.-Hopes founded or
American aerial aid to the allies
soon will be realized, says Captain
Herteaux, the famous French avia-
tor, who has just returned from a
visit to the United States, in a
statement to the Associated Press.
Both American pilots and American
machines are coming overseas in
large numbers, he said. The cap
tain's statement follows:
I'VE now have several thousand
American pilots in France They
have arrived after adequate train
ing, so they have only TO put the
finishing touches to the already
sound instruction.
I'VE have not sufficient chaser
planes to mount all these pilots,
but the machines are being manu-
factured more quickly than the
pilots can complete their training.
1t is certain that America alone
within a few months will be able TO
more than supply all its aviators
with machines
America still has something to
learn in the construction of chaser
planes, but progress is being shown
every day. The Liberty motor now
is ready and machines fitted with
it are being turned out rapidly.
The American bombardment air
planes are of the finest quality and
they are reaching the front regu-
larly.
The day of errors, in which we
had our share, is now over. The
hopes which public opinion found
ed on American aviation soon will
he realized "
