Americans and Tanks.

BY inventing the caterpillar device
for motors, American Ingenuity has
played vital part in the war, says
Boys Life, the boy scouts magazine.
The success Of the tank lies in the
fact that It lays its own track, so to
speak, and after rolling over it, picks
IL up. Now the track, Is merely a belt
made of fiat links of STEEL This belt
fits over large wheels at either end of
the tank, much as the chain Is
stretched around the wheels of an au-
tomobile. On the outside of the belt
ere fixed series of broad links called
track plates, which take q firm grip
on the earth. The tank itself rests on
rollers which in turn rest on the in
side OF the belt. It is equipped with
two belts on either side of the car,
10th Of which are connected with the
driving machinery. When the tank
moves straight ahead, both these belts
are driven at the same speed. It Is
possible, however, to drive the belts
Independently It usually travels at a
speed Of about half a mile an hour.

KEPT PLEDGE
TO send Bread
American Na,,,.., Maintained Al
lied Loaf Through v Sel1-
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping Between July
and October 10 we shipped G5,9SO,3O5
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 bushels Of wheat and
flour in terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton of hostiities we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have q white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream Of wheat and -four NOV
Ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
2O,0OO,OOO bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of bread
famine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article In the diet.
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only If we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was S5,0OO,0O0 bushels safely dellv-
cred overseas between January / and
July 1. Out Of harvest which gave
us only 20,O00000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread ratlons could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

WORLD RELIEF
Week IS OPENED
Meetings Will be He'd Throughout
State to Explain Necessity Of
Further Conservation
APPEAL BY ADMINISTRATOR
e, BROOKS
Spectre Of Famine Abroad Haunt
the Abundance Of Our Tables
at Home, He Says.

Montpelier, Dec. - World Relief
Week" is in full swing throughout
Vermont and the rest of the nation.
Meetings will be held for the remain
der of the week in every county and
IN great many towns Of the state at
which the necessity that every indi-
vidual join in doing everything pos
sible along food lines to bring relief
to the starving, and thus prevent Boil
shevism from spreading will be ex-
planned.
Frank H. Brooks, Federal Food Ad-
mtnistrator for Vermont, today adj
dressed the following appeal to the
people of the state:
THE miracle Of the loaves and
fishes is to be re-enacted-not before
multitude of five thousand but for
millions Of starving multitudes. In
that day Of Christ, there was enough
and to spare. In this new day Of
Christ. there will be sufficient, If we
share. -.,-
Let me quote statement made BY
Mr.. Hoover to the State Food Admin
istrators recently in Washington:-
'" In North Russia forty million peo-
pie now face winter and starvation.
OF those forty million, probably ten
million will die from starvation this
coming winter ".'e -.. :"-
II know the sympathetic action Of
the people of Vermont will support
Mr.. Hoover as he goes forth on what
may be termed a God-like mission.
He has saved Belgium from starva-
ton. BY his organized effort and the
cooperation Of the people tho cause
Of the allies has been saved more than
once. He, with your corporation
now will save the world from starva-
ton and Its twin companions, anar-
chy and Bolshevism. We must re-
move famine. 1t is to save ourselves,
and American Institutions, that We
should promptly and willingly help
Mr.. Hoover stop famine conditions.
Let me quote from Mr.. Hoovers
inspiring message to the Administra-
tors. Referring to changes in rules
and regulations, he said:-
: "'There ia one policy which cannot
change. That is the vital necessity of
simple living and economy in con-
sumption Of food commodities. We
must realize that the spectre of fam
inc abroad now haunts the abundance
Of our table at home
+ Can we be more worthily chal-
lenged1 You know, as well as I. that,
when the people have thought this
thing through. they will quickly and
unseIfishly respond as for all the
requests heretofore made by Mr..
Hoover.
Make World Relief Week develop
that World Conscience that will save
the world from famine and Bolshe-
vism.
"Mr Hoover sends his apprecia-
ton, deer and sincere, to the people
Of Vermont Join as heartily in
thanking you for what you have done
and all that 7 know YOU will do"

the United States If all the people
would adopt the system Of fresh air
