French Ambassador to u. s.
Extols Memory of Washington

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The mem
ory of Washington was extolled by M.
Jusserand. French ambassador, and
Senator Warren C. Harding, of Ohio,
in addresses delivered at a commem-
orative mass meeting held here to.
day, under the auspices of the Sons
and Daughters of the American Rev.
OlutiOn.
Everybody" said M. Jusserand,
knows the unanimity of feelings of
all French people who ever met Wash
ington; how, during our revolution
French citizenship was bestowed on
him as being lone of the benefactors
of humanity" and how, when he died
the French nation went into mourn
ing, officers wore Grape, and. our flags
flown at halfmast.
Washington is Model.
ITO conduct oneself well is a hard
er task in days of gloom and anxiety
In both. Washington stands a model
He knew all the trouble which may
result from delays, mishaps and mis-.
management, but never thought of a
patched-up peace"

Inmates place the amount as high as
billion bushels.
The cost of grains for feding live
stock has increased to such an extent
by reason of transportation difficulties,
Mr.. Hoover says, that feeders are con-
fronted with the prospect of serious
losses. Dairying interests, too, he de-
clares, are hard hit.
Potatoes, the Food Administrator de-
clares, are spelling in the producers
hands, while consumers have ben sup
piled only from sumner garden crops
and stores carried over.
Short 45,oOo,oo0 Bushels
Mr.. Hoover's statement follows:
''In response to many inquiries
beg to say it is true that since the
first of December We have fallen far
behind our agreed food program with
the allies. BY the end of February
we will be short 100000 bushels in
cereal products which we undertook
as our share of their supplies. We
will also be short of the amount of
meat and pork products that we were

bushels, and this further aggregated
by similar shortage outside the ter
minals.
Part of Corn Crop Spelling
Furthermore, this year we have the
largest perVentage of soft corn in
many years and, though we have a
record crop of corn, considera BILE
portion of the soft corn will be lost
by spelling unless it can be moved in
the next 60 days TO the drying ter
minals. The least amount of Grain
that must be loaded for the next so
days is 100000 bushels per day-and
we have not yet attained that Less
than this will solve neither the allied
nor our domestic situation.
I'VE have about 10000 carloads of
potatoes on November / which should
have been moved from the principal
producing centers and up to the first
of February we have moved about
$4,000 carloads, while we should have
moved over $4,000 in this period The
result is that potatoes are piled up

ly to the railway congestion since that
date The Railway Directors. since
coming into control on January l have
made efforts to find remedy, but dur
ing the month Of January the weather
was insuperable, and. although prog
ress has been made since the fifth
OF February, the situation is the &C
cumulation of three months delays
THE next so days will be the most
critical preiod in our food history. The
simple fact is that the problem goes
far deeper than supplies TO the allies.
During the last three months we have
far fallen behind in movement OF food
stuffs from the farmers to the con-
suming and storage centers. Up to
the first of February less than so per
cent of the normal ratio of corn has
been moved, less than 80 per cent OF
the oass and less than so per cent OF
the potatoes. From November to
January | we were short in the usual
movement of grains and grain prod
ucts into the terminals alone by over

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The next
two months will be the most critical
period with regard to food that the
United States has faced since enter
ing the war.
This was the statement of Herbert
Hoover, yesterday, United States Food
Administrator Earnest cooperation
is called for.
In making the disclosure the Food
Administrator declared that the stu
alton is the most critical in the coun-
try's history and that in many of the
large consuming areas reserve food
stores are at the point of exhaustion
BIames Rail Congestion.
The entire blame is put by the Food
Administrator on railroad congestion,
which, he says, has thrown the Food
Administration far behind on its pro-
gram for feding the allies. The only
solution he ses is greatly increased
rail movement of foodstu-s, even to
the exclusion of much other commerce

Kisses We're Worth $40
Each Says Wife, Who
Charged Hubby for 'em

ST. LOUIS. Mo, Feb. 22.-Louis j.
Salveter, former director of the Rice
Stix Dry Goods Company, who alleged
that his wife charged him SO kiss
on their honeymoon and $500 to be-
come reconciled after she had desert
ed him twice, was denied divorce in
court here today.
Mrs. Salveter admitted that she
charged her husband for each of the
16 kisses she gave him on their honey
moon, but said: "He offered me the
money and / saw no reason why !
should not take it."
Mrs. Salveter testified that after
they had become reconciled, following
their first separation. she was called
out of town by the illness of relatives,
and while she was gone her husband
entertained six nurses in their home.
and made love to each of them.
She said she had been doing all of
the work in their apartment, and that
she complained once when they were
at the breakfast table. That angered
Salveter, she said, and he cursed her
She threw a glass of water on him.
Mrs. Salveter said that when theT
were on their honeymoon, on their
way from New York to Chicago. Sal
veter cursed and slapped her. forcing
her to run out of the drawing room
She said he pursued her and contin
ued TO slap her, compelling her to
jump from the train. Mrs. SalveteI
is Sa1veter's third wife. The present

secretary.

railroads. Director General McAdoo
declared he was ready to provide every
transportation facility for expediting
food movement. The Railroad Admin
istration. he said, had suggested that
farmers be urged to release grain
holdings that large numbers of avail
able cars might be utilized in moving
them.
Cereal exports to the allies. Mr..
Hoover's statement says, will be A.
100000 bushels short by the end of
February, and meat shipments also
are short by far of the amounts prom
iSed.
Price Margin Is Widened.
Inability to move the crops, Mr..
Hoover sets forth, has suspended the
law of supply and demand, and has
created a price margin between pro-
ducer and consumer wider than it ever
was before.
A large part Of the corn crop is about
to spoil because it is not moving to
terminals for drying. The percentage

which must be dried if it is to be

He described as a German invention
the story that Frederick had present
ed Washington with a sword bearing
the inscription: From the oldest
general in Europe to the greatest in
the world"
Referring to the present war, Mr..
Jusserand declared:
THE fight is on. AS we shall no
more desist than Washington did even
at his most perilous hour, the result
is certain The work must be done so
that it may not have to be done again.
in this we are all of us with you whose

Peris Have Increased.
Senator Harding declared that the
time had come to apply the masims
contained in Washington's farewell
address concerning the pernicious e.
fects of internal dissension in a ma
tional emergency.

have added to the perils of which

Meatless Days in u. S.
Have Saul'.' l4O, 100000
Pounds of Beef, IT'S Said

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Meatless
days in the United States have saved
14O0O0,000 pounds of beef in four
months, the food administration an
nounced today. During this period
165, 100000 pounds of beef were ex-
ported to the allies together with
00.000,000 pounds of pork products.
The figures were made public in a
statement explaining why the food ad-
ministration refused requests of cattle
and sheep growers to remove beef,
mutton and lamb from the conserva-
ton rules With regard to tmeatless
days. The administration again de-
clared that meatless day was estab'
iisEed for the purpose OF enabling the
United States to feed the allies by
saving on meat consumption.
The announcement concludes: III
the many people who have assisted us
in the accumulation Of exportable
stocks of meat products during the
last three months could receive the
expressions of gratitude with which
these shipments are now being receiv'
ed in Europe among the allies. they
would feel amply rewarded for the
sacrifices
