seat OF government the little nations
first thought was to express her graft
tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions Of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indl-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needss 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-
BILE 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-
GUS 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.
Most of Russia is already In the
throes of famine, and 40.O00,000 people
there are beyond the possibility Of
help. Before another spring thou.
sands of them inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re-

gions. with conditions most serious in
Finland.
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 starvationis not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum of 2OOOO, 900
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,0OO tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail 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 repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

MR.. PETER JESSEN
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

AS fitting reminder of the sew
enty-third birthday anniversary of
Mr.. Peter Jessen of West Extra, his
good wife made the event one to be
long remembered by inviting in
a number of their relatives, Mon
day, December 30th, to partake Of
a big dinner prepared for the occa-
sion and to spend the afternoon.
Those present were: H. P. Pet
ersen and family; A. S. Stone and
family; Martin Jessen and family;
Chris Jessen and family; Mss Jes-
sen and family; P. M. lessen and
family; G. A. Petersen and family
Elven Petersen; Ruby Stone; Rev.
Rasmussen and wife.
The occasion was certainly a
happy one as you may imagine af-
ter reading the names of those pre-
sent.

A food map of Europe today shows
not single country in which the fl-
ture does not hold threat Of serious
difficulties and only small part which
Is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accn-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers Of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude Of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more In her own

Mr.. HIRAM HEATH
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

While his mind was clouded by
constant disease, following stroke
of paralysis about a year ago, Mr.
Hi Heath, an old resident here, In
ficted a wound with suicidal intent
Sunday morning. The old gentle
man had been for several days de-
ploring his inability to perform any
kind Of work until his mind became
clouded and he made a rash at
tempt to end itall by cutting his
throat. The attempt at self de-
struction failed and five stitches
were taken to close the wound.
Mr.. Heath was taken to the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Ola Dorsey
near Anita, Monday, where it is
hoped that new surroundings may
help to restore his lost reason.
