_,_.)il_ ..,..,...‘,_,t“... i PAGE EIGHT SA¥E FOOD AS “NEVER BEFORE ¥his Is Call of Food Administra- tion to Public for Com- b ing Year. INCREASE OF FIFTY PER CENT IS NEEDED “Last Year 11,820,000 Tons Sent Army and Allies—This Year 17, 550,000 Must Go. “The people of the United States are right bang up against the stiffest food saving they have known, at least since Civil War times,” says A. D. Wil- son, federal food administrator for Minnesota. “They must realize this fact right now and be prepared to make sacrifices in order that the flght- | ing forces of the Allles in Europe and the civilian population of the Allies | in Europe, who have endured the bur- den of history’s most terrible war for more than four years, may be sus- tained in the trying period which we believe will mark the finisfi of the great conflict. “The cold, hard facs of the situation are just these: Last year with not a little effort, the United States shipped to its armies and Allles 11,820,000 tons of food. This year, with no larger re- sources upon which to draw, they must ship 17,650,000 tons. This is an in- crease of 5,730,000. tons, or practically B0 per cent. “In other words, America this year must save 50 per cent more food than they saved a year ago. “How is this to be done? “The rigid rules which _have been Iaid down for public eating places and which were outlined in these columns a week ago, show what the food ad- wministration belleves it is necessary for hotels, restaurants, boarding houses and other places where ready food is sold, to do, and the food adminis. tration intends to see that this is done, If public eating places do not loyally and patriotically co-operate, the food administration will not hesitate to se- <ure compliance through 1its control of the distribution of sugar, flour, and other food supplies. “But, this affects only about 10 per <ent of the people of the United States, ‘What about the other 90 per cent or more than 90,000,000 people? In other words, what about saving in the Amenr ican home? “This is the answer: The American housewife must put herself into faten. sive training 50.as to learn to manage her resources as effectively as the sol dier 1s compelled to save his strength and use It with the most telling force. She must conserye scientifically and all the other members of the family must support her loyally in doing this, All ‘must conserve in the use of every kind of food. To eat merely for the pleas of eating, after enough has beenicpnsumed to sustain health and strength, i8 to ‘waste just as surely as to throw good food into the garbage can. “Here is a typical illustration: A small boy in a Minnesota household, the other day, within an hour after a hearty dinner, asked for something to eat. His father knew that he could not be hungry, that he was merely ! ki for food to satisfy his appetite Hig father met his re-| he fieures which are given 3 4 follcved that, 'with this statcment: ‘Iw mouthfal you eat| which is u v for the maine tenance of your health and strength is a mouthful taken from someone in Europe who veeds It a thousand times more than you do. Now, if as a loyal young Am ant you feel you can eit food within an hour ;nr!m having a full 2al, it s up to yow' The boy was ne and refused the food. ut, it is just that .kind of thing s have got to merely for the 3 of eating must stop, it we 3.g0ing to do the right thing by our and other relatives, and our 5, who have gone overseas to one of the cruslest and vilest of salf-consiituted tyrants that 1 has ever ltnown, and to make the world a free and decent place to Hve in, “We have subscribed for liberty loan bonds. We have given to the Belgian relfef, to the Red Cross, to the Y. M. €. A, Y. W. C. A. and similar organ- fzations. We have contributed loyally in order to make the leave-taking of our home boys express our determina- tion to support them here at home while they fight our battles abroad.

The republicans have been out- spokenly against several of Wilson’s peace terms which are now endorsed by the allies. Congress must ratify the peace.treaty and now. they will apparently control both house and senate. Incomplete returns indieate that the republicans gained seven senate seats and lost one to the democrats. The returns thus far also indicate the republicans gained twenty-four house seats and lost eight to .the democrats. SLAVS STRIVE 70 SAVE _ BABIES FROM FAMINE By Henry Wood. _ (United Press Correspondent.) Rome, Italy, Oct. 5. (By Mail.)— Forty thousand babies from Austria’s famine stricken: provinces of Bo- hemia, Dalmatia, Herzegozina and Istria are being fed and cared for by the twd more fortunate sister Slav provinces of Croatia and Slavonia, Details of this latest’effort on the part of the Slay provinces of Austria to sustain each other until an allied victory can insure them a national independence have just been received by Dr. Ante Trumbio, who, repre- gsenting the Slav provinees of Aus- tria, singed at Corfu on July 20, 1917, the pact with Serbia providing for a single united Southern Slay nation following the war, Croatia and Slavonia rank as two of the most fertile provinces of Austria, and despite the ever increass ing scarcity of food = that exists throughout the dual monarchy, these two provinces continue to produce more than they need. Through their local. diet they to the Austrian-Hungarian govern- ment that they be allowed to succor the other Slay provinces of Bohemia, Dalmatia, Herzegovina and Istria. The only condition they demanded was that in recognition-of this they be exempted from military requisi- tion of their food products. The proposition was turned .down by the Austrian-Hungarian govern- ment, whereupon the two more for- tunate provinows of Croatia and Slavonia began immediately gather- ing together all the babies and little children from the other provinces. No distinction was made either on religious grounds or grounds of di- verse branches of the Slav race. The children likewise were = distributed amongst the families of Croatia.and Slavonia without religious or ‘other distinetion. .Catholic children often being taken into orthodox ‘families and vice versa. All are now being fed and educated towards the'.com- mon end of saving the greatest num- ber possible of the = Southern .Slay race, whiclw has-had thé most .dis- proportionate losses in the present war, for the future independent Slav state, TEUTON PRISONERS EXPECT DISASTER: BELIEFS CHANGED (Continued from Page One) They aet like boys, now that re- gponsibility has been taken from them, and joke and sing as they are brought back. They are glad to talk about anything, except war, about which they joke. «The principal interest of ‘the Hun- garians in the ‘‘pens” now is whether or not they will be sent to America until the war is over. All went to go to America, most of them to stay. They are never vindictive, and take the war as a gambling. proposition, which they are about to lose. Har- horing no hate themselves, these Hungarians assume they will be wel- come, and can find friends anywhere but in Germany. German officers still maintain their arrogant bearing, though when they are frank enough to speak hon- estly their remarks show they -are weakening in their confidence. How- ever. they still seem militaristic. You fail to find a note of sympathy in talking to them. Their overbearing attitude prevents any understanding. The German soldier is a different proposition entirely now. He has given up that belief instilled in him by officers that Germany is supreme. His hatred of the military class in Germany is marked, and he frankly expresses his opinion now. The Ger- man soldier is exceptionally serious in his ‘conyersation. You are surprised at the under- standing he has of the war and of history. He has studied history and can back up his views with it. “We have looked to the people at home to bring about a revolution and they have looked to us at the front,” he tells you, ‘neither of us can do any- therefore proposed | thing now.” . The biggest delusion the soldier carries with him, apparently, is as to the purpose of the allies in the war. Either he has not been allowed to read allied statements or else he does not accept them, for the Ger- man soldier thinks he is fighting a defensive war to prevent the dividing up of Germany among other nations. Most Germans think they are go- ing to lose the war, but that they must resist as 16ng as possible. They say they must accept their present leaders, because there are none among the people. Their attitude, coupled with that of their officers, shows that only defeat can influence them. Comparison of the German captured today with those taken a year ago show that war is so6ftening morale. Modern Term Misunderstood. “What became of that rascally young gon of the Blowers?” I understand he is to take a course of ethics in one of our modern penological institutions.” “There!
