CONSERVATION OF FOOD
 THE DUTY oF CATHOLICS
Special Letter From Bishop Milan Read Sunday, Requests Patriotic Self Denial as Commissioner Hoov- CT Recommends.


 In all the Catholic churches of this diocese Sunday there was read cir cular letter from Bishop Milan em- phasizing the importance of con- servation of foods, especially of meat and meat products, sugar. wheat and wheat products. Statistics furnished
 by Commissioner Hoover were quot
 ed to accentuate the urgency of this form of self-denial, that the supplies to the allied armies and to our own men in the field may go forward with out interruption until at least after the next wheat harvest Is secured. Bishop Milan, in his customary di-
 rect and forceful way made plain the patriotic duty of Catholics to cheer fully adopt every possible sacrifice in l this regard, as well as to labor to in- crease the food supply by extra crop | raising, and the most frugal and pains taking conservation of food by drying, canning and the like.
 | At the high mass in St. Patrick's | church, when the preacher was Rev. Peter J. Cuny. the letter of the Right 1 Reverened Bishop was commented up- on, and the congregation exhorted to adopt it's suggestions with prompt and
 hearty willingness and patriotic com pliancc.
 l Father Cuny chose as his sermon text certain phrases from the Litany | of the Blessed Virgin. who is especial ly venerated by the Catholic church during the month of May. The Moth- CT of God. the Mother of Christ, left by the Saviour Himself to be our | Mother, was considered, as the great est spiritual influence ever risen from
 human ranks. The deyout Catholics affectionate invocations of the Blessed | Virgin in this htany. were utilized as
 suggestions for those special devo- tions which Christians should cherish in honor of one who is referred to as Virgin most powerful, Mother of our
 Creator, Mother of divine grace, Refuge of sinners, Queen of peace
 whose virtues. if initiated would bring
 true peace to a distracted world, Our
 Lady of Victory, whose intercession
 with her Divine Son may bring about
 that victory which all desire, and who like Almighty God Himself, only waits to be asked by man to render l abundant aid.
 The preacher reminded his audi
 tors of the importance of frank and open devotion to that most pure, most
 chaste, most renowned and mos . faithful Mother, best manifested by at- l tendance at those special services 0. veneration in her honor at the daily
 morning mass at o'clock and at the , Tuesday evening devotions, to fnisl up this month of May

10y MORNING JoussAL SPECIAL LEASED wrerI

New York, Nov. 16.--The problem
of feeding Germany Is not one of
going to their relief, but of relaxing
the blockade. so that they may Sc
cure for themselves the bare necessi-
ties that will give stable government
said Herbert c.. Hoover, food admin
istrator before sailing for Europe to-
day to discuss food measures for the
relief of starving populations,
There has been a great deal of
unnecessary furor in this country
about feeding the Germans" he said.
I'VE are not worrying about the Ger
mans. They can take care of them
selves if given a chance, but the wa
ter tight blockade has got to be aban-
doned"
Continuing his discussion of Eu-
ropean food conditions, Mr.. Hoover
said:
Arrangements have long since
been completed by which the big al
lies, that is, France, England, and TIA
ly, will be provisioned. This covers
125,00o, 600 people. ss
"Our first and deepest concern now
must be for the little allies who were
under the German yoke, they are the
Belgians, Serbians, Rumanians,
Greeks Czechs, JugoSlavs and 9TH
ers There are some 100000 peo-
pie in these groups and they must be
Systematically helped at once. We
have already doubled the stream of
food flowing toward Belgium.
e"There is a great problem in the
situation of the enemy people--about
90,000,000. would certainly approach
this problem with mixed feelings,
having been long a witness to the rob-
berry of food from women and chill
dren and the destruction of millions
of tons of food at sea and to the mis-
cry under which the millions amongst
the big and little allies have suffered
under the German yoke"
Discussing domestic conditions the
food administrator said that the regu-
lation forbdding brewing after De-
cember I, would not be rescinded but
that it expired with peace. There was
enough beer in the country to last four
or five months, he said.
