this season than it was last. Carey is
wonderful fielder, a great man on the
bases, but he is not the hitter the figures
of last season lead one to think.
While the Cubs again make a rather
bad showing in the center field figures,
they are improved there because Paskert
certainly is a better man for them than
was Williams. This is not saying Will

with the Cubs was weak armand

some reason, has an idea he can get
good results from Williams. If he does
he will succeed where everyone else has
failed. Williams, when he first broke
in, gave promise of being great star.
but four managers have tried to cure
his batting faults and surrendered it as
an impossible job. At that, Moran is
the best manager to handle Williams he
ever has had and such things have hap
pened.
The loss of Kauff is not as hard a
blow to the Giants as some think. Or

perspration means expelling the waste

work.

Americas entry into the world war
has emphasized the need of and the Won

The very fact that tens of thousands OF
those who were drafted were rejected
upon the first examination owing to
physical unfitness is striking evidence
that America is nation which neglects
it's health. The draft embraced only

And the saddest part of it all is that
SO many lack superb health simply be-
cause they do not exercise enough; do
not follow a careful diet; do not get
enough fresh air and sunshine.
Tie wonderful Improvement wrought
by exercising and careful diet is shown
by visit to any army cantonment in the
United States Hundreds of thousands of
youngsters, and men beyond the S0-yeai

months ago. Many carried from 10 to 40

1t perhaps would be correct to say
that without coal only civilization such
as that achieved by classic Greece,
Rome, Asia Minor, Egypt, India and
the far East would have been possible.
Iron and copper would still have been
available, but the use made of them
would be far more limited. None OF

Rapid transit would never exist. Elec-

 Germany, on the other hand, need
 not figure in such a 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 if she is given access to shipping and is enabled to distribute food to the cities with dense populations, which are the trou- ble centers.
 England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, all of which have been maintained from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet immediate needs, but their future presents seri- ous difficulties. The same is true of Spain and the northern neutral coun- tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies.

 Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering heavy toll of death. The Armenian popula- ton is falling each week as hunger takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania and Roumania so serious are the food shortages that famine is near. AL though starvation Is not yet imminent, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Fur key are In the throes of serious strin- gencies.
 In order to fulfill America's pledge in world relief we will have to export every ton of food which can be ham, died through our ports This means at the very least a minimum of 20000,000 tons compared with 6,O00000 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 fall to tighten the black spots on the hunger map or If 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 a repetition of the Russian de bacle and our fisht for world peace will have been in vain.
