A food map of Europe today shows
not q single country in which the fu-
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 accu-
mulated on the farms, there Is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
we'll 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-
pl0 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
TO- 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

gions, with conditions most serious In
' Bohemia, Serbia, RoumnnIa and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes It's 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 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 20,0OO,OOo
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20000 tons eI-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
II we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or II 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 fight for world peace
will have been In vain.

HOOVER SENDS MESSAGE
FROM ACROSS THE WATER

Nations liberated from the German
woke are daily and urgently calling
upon the United States for food. Inc
pressure of this demand Is empna'
sized in a cable received today from
Herbert Hoover, United States Fooo
administrator, who is now in Europe

one week in Europe, Mr.. Hoover
cables that the situation does not yet
admit the formulation OF definite
program, but that this nation should
be firmly impressed with the neces-
sitv for continued conservation, when
is more needed now than at any
time since we became aligned WIN
the enemies of Germany.
Mr.. Hoover is now negotiating WIN
the Allied Governments regarding
shipping, finances and organisations
Until these details are finally settled
II will be difficult for him to outline
. definite constructive program. MI.
Hoover = arranged before leaving
America for the immediate purchase
OF 100000 tons of food to meet the
most urgent calls. The first OF the
feet of ships carrying these supplies
has already been reported at Gibrai'
tar. en- route for Southern Europe.

FRANCE AND ITALY
HAVE SHORT RATioNS

The signing of the armistice lifted
the cloud of fifty years, and france
broke into 10y and color and dane,
ing. She walked at last freed IN the
sunshine and every good seemed pos
sible at once. Peace, however, added
nothing to food supplies and hard
ships must go on until next harvest
Victor Boret, the French Food Con-
troller, announced shortly after the
armistice was signed that 1t would
be impossible TO increase the war
time rations to civilians, but prom
Used lower prices.
To Italy, peace brought only In
creased food difficulties as tho newly
ACQUIRED territory and prisoners add
ed about 100000 people who must
be fed. With admirable foresight
the Government set aside . great
store of food for the immediate re-
lief OF the redeemed provinces and
returning prisoners, and prepared TO
face, the situation.
Rationing Is vigorously enforced
by the card system and wartime al
lotments Of food have been severely
cut. The new ration provides q
month allowance Of II pounds OF
bread and IL pounds OF other food
for each person. This is only a
pound OF food day and seems very
little at any time, but especially
meager in this hour OF victory.

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 a map for Amerl-
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 II 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 haye 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 100000 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-

EUROPE MUST BE FED

Drained Of food, stripped bare 81
all her material wealth, her towns
and villages wrecked, her population
scattered, Northern France In her
Liberation presents picture OF DESC
lauon, the completeness of which Is
impossible to imagine. The same
may be said OF brave little Belgium.
and In fact this picture OF despair
might be drawn over the entire map
of a very large portion OF Europe.
Famine is staring countless millions
OF people in the face, and these
starving people are very largely do
pendent on the United States for sus-
tenance and food until normal condi-
lions are re-established In Europe,
and the new harvest Is on.
This country has q surplus OF
food products, and the people are
urged to continue to produce and In
crease this surplus by economy in
the use OF foodstuffs for shipment
overseas. Twenty million tons Is
the minimum amount Of food that
has been promised to the European
people, and this can only be supplied
by the strictest economy. The Amer
lean people in the time OF prosperity
with an abundance Of food are ex-
pected to eat sufficient wholesome
food TO keep up their physical
strength, but they are requested to
save along all lines, and especially
does this apply to the fats, pork
products and vegetable oils, In
which there Is world shortage Of
about three billion pounds.

Dried Meats and Fish Possible.

A new drying process, BY when
meats and fish can De kept indefinitely
and then restored to their former state
of freshness by the application OF water
o,d which il is believed, will increase
the worlds meat shipping capacity
more than II times by doing away win
the need of refrigeration and speclai
containers, has lately been perfected
in the chemical engineering aoora-
tories at Columbia University.
During a period Of comprehensive
tests. meats that had been dried AMI
kent a wear were restored t. tlelr fresh
state and served in the homes OF pro-
fessors, attached to the laboratory. a
few months ago a shipment OF o'u
hounds was sent to a camp in the South
and served to the soldiers. Reports
received from the camp state that those
who ate the restored meat failed &c dis
cover any difference between 1t ana
strictly fresh meat.
With half the world facing year
and possibly three years OF food snort
age: with thousands Of tons OF SHIP
ping tied up in the transportation OF
troops and urgently needed supplies
other than food, and rail transport
demoralized in Central Europe, largely
destroyed in France and Belgium and
badly congested in the United States:
the possibilities Of the process perfect
ed at Columbia are held to be in
calculable.
Hitherto in the shipment Of meat and
fish it has been necessary to resort to
icing, the use Of salt or brine, or, as in
the case of ham and bacon, smoking or
treatment with chemicals. Not only
have these methods necessitated pom
derous equipment and much handling
but the finished product required the
use of more or less expensive contain
ers, greatly increasing also the bulk OF
the product.
BY the process perfected in the Co.
lumbia laboratories all bone waste, tat
and connective tissue are removed
from the meat or fish to be treated, leav-
ing 100 per cent food. The meat IS
then cut into cubes or, in the case o.
beef, into steaks, placed in a vacuum
and subjected to a period Of drying at a
relatively low temperature. No other
treatment is necessary. Fish, it has
been found, can be dried completely
in from four to eight hours and meat
in ten hours, the time varying slight
ly according to the thickness OF the
pieces under treatment.
Meat so dried exhibits no visible or
chemical change,.with the sole excep-
ton that all water is removed. The
meat also remains absolutely STERILE
free from putrefying germs-so that
it can be kept indefinitely without re-
refrigeration
DR.. Ralph H. Mckee, professor Of
chemical engineering at Columbia Uni
versity, said:
"The advantages from the CON-
mercial side are that this meat, dried
according to the new art, can be shipped
in ordinary cloth sacks. II is simply
and solely dried meat, which regains,
when placed in water, the virtues and
character Of the meat from which it is
made. When one compares this with
the present method Of shipping meat to
Europe, the advantages are readily ap-
parent. For such dried products as the
new method supplies, no refrigerator
ships or cars are necessary"

Miss, where they met Mr.. Coman's
father, who is secretary to the board

son and Leroy, Of Memphis, were
also in the party.
These gentlemen report a fine

Parchman farm are fine. Mr.. Brn-
gle tells us that on this farm they
have 1000 acres Of corn, 5000
acres in cotton, 1000 acres in wheat
anG more than 1000 acres in alfalfa,
SEQ acres of which is in one fled.

KENTUCKY CONGRESSMAN
SOUNDS POETIC NOTE

Robert Y. Thomas, Jr., Of Ken
lucky, is quoted in the Baltimore
Sun as follows, from a speech in
the House of Representatives:
IL a man wants a good, comfort
able, soul-satisfying smoke he should
get Kentucky or a Missouri corn
cob PIPE and some natural-leaf hill
side tobacco and 60 out into the
country to a log farmhouse and sit
in the front yard under an old oak
tree in his shirt sleeves, with his
shirt unfastened in front and his
suspenders down, close by an old
well of cool water with a sweep aEH
an old moss-eovered bucket. There
he can get Ine right kind Of smoke,
such as the denizens of the crowded,
profiteering cities never dreamed Of
in their philosophy, while with half
closed e<es he watches the curling,
fragrant smoke drift away and min
gle with the lazy, fleeing clouds
while he dreams of home and heaven.

LEAVES RIGHT TO STORE
LIQUOR IN HOME

Washington SJuly 21,-The pro-
hibition enforcement bill, drastic pro-
visions and all, was adopted today,
section by section by the House, but
mans right to store liquor in his
home stood UP against all attacks.
On the final count, only three votes
were recorded in favor Of an amend
ment to make home possession of in
toxicants unlawful.
After all perfecting amendments
had been adopted and others designed
to make, the bill less severe were
bowled over in chorus Of "noes,"
an attempt was made to adjourn over
night This prevailed, but there was
demand for roll call and the pro-
hibition forces, summoned from
sides by their leaders, piled into the
chambers in sufficient numbers to
keen the House in session tonight for
the tedious roll call vote on half
dozen amendments in dispute which
had to be passed on before a vote
was taken on the bill as whole.
