AMERICA FACING SHORTEST RATIONS
 IN ITS HISTORY
Ten Million More Mouths to Feed When Germans Quit
 Occupied Territory.

Washington, Oct. 17-AmeVica is facing the shortest rations in her his tory. The demands of the world on her for food are increasing daily and her faith is pledged to her Allies and to neutral countries to feed them.
 With the full territory of France and Belgium back under Allied flags, and the Germans hurled behind the Rhine entrenchments. 10,00O,O00 more people become dependent on this country for food.
 Should peace come, where Ameri- ca is now feeding upwards of 40,- 900, 900 of people in her duty to the Allies, the burden of nearly 0,000,- 900 people will fall upon her in her duty to the world; these, in addition to her care of her own people at . home and her soldiers abroad.
 The Food Administration knows all of this and. is seeking solution of the problem.
 But when the Germans are driven behind the line, and the 1O,0OO, 900 of people behind the German lines are again reunited to their countries, Americas burdens will be increased almost 25 per cent, which would in- crease the export food program to over 22,00O,00O or approximately twice the exports of foods last year. And, with peace, 1So,0O0,OOO to feed, or about five times the number cared for last year.
 Armenia, Serbia, Rumania, the neu- trals, Italy, France, Belegium, Eng land and perhaps a great part of European Russia must be fed. Not until her first crop comes in can Flu rope do much to feed herself and for many crops after that the yield will ba small.
 America must prepare to deny her self as she has never denied herself before. The American government will ask 1t and conditions will exact it.

LIVING HIGH IN
 ROMANTIC SEAS

Papeete, Tahiti, Oct 17-Living conditions in the South Seas are quite the opposite to the popular idea con- veyed in books of romance and ad- venture. Instead of being able to loll under the shade of palms and having the fruits thereof drop into ones mouth, the daily needs only are obtainable through the medium of hard toll. Living, if one desires to live according to the standards of the white man, is as expensive as in any other part of the world.
 According to those who have lived here for some time, 'it Is the last place in the world for a man with out capital to come.' Consular of- ficers have regular form warning all inquirers against attempting to set tie here unless provided with ample funds as there are but few oppor- tunities for obtaining employment.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY

The first commercially practicable process for converting iron into steel was patented 6s years ago today by H. Bessemer. This important inven- ton soon revolutionized the iron in dustry, The method was to burn out the excess carbon by the direct intro duction of oxygen! Steel had been fabricated from earliest times.and was used to small extent by the Greeks, Egyptians and Assyrians. In 1722 Roamur discovered a direct process of making steel by immersing nal leable iron in bath of cast iron, A east steel manufaetory was establish ed near Sheffield, England. in TAO. Since Begsemer's epochal invention, which was the beginning of the mod ern steel industry many Improvements have been made

 Four new. but tired, German divis- ions have appeared in the Flanders battle. All the prisoners captured complain bitterly that they are being compelled to continue fighting stead fly without rest Many of them have been continuously retreating or fight ing since August 8.

All things succeed which really de- serve to,-which fill a real need which prove their worth. The fact that the famous old root and herb remedy, Lydia P.
