Tht record is needed so that the nation al authorities may know ap proximately how much food can b spared to the allies without inflict ing a hardship on our own people. They have a record of availabit food, and know what the average consumption is, and the record you are asked to make will give Mr. Hoover and his associates a very erood idea of the amount that can be spared. premier Lloyd George said that the collapse of Russia and the reverses in Italy "made it even more im perative than before that the Unit ed States . send as many troops as possible across the Atlantic as ear ly as possible.

The following shows what is be ing done in the Hickory "zone of war" through food conservation. On one of the cards the following Sy the Associated Press. Washington, Nov 22. Heads of the four railroad brotherhoods came here today at President Wilson's re quest to discuss with him their pro posed new demands for higher wages. The president was prepared to take up the problem with a free hand, so far as the railroads are concern ed, having been notified that they will abide by his decision. An entirely new proposal which it is understood the brotherhoods intend to make is that rail trans portation during the war with respect to the carriers and employes be vested in a new commission to deal with the situation. They plan, it is stated, to ask the president to appoint such a commis sion with plenary powers, headed by an official of the government. Opposition to intervention by the existing federal board of mediation and conciliation is understood to be one of the factors in the proposal for a new commission. The brother hood heads are said to be unalterably opposed to any plan which would give the present board any power to deal with the situation. They want a similar commission to that in England. The brotherhood chiefs also are expected to urge their claims for higher wages, suggesting that the increase come from the railroads or as war bonuses.

Since then there has been a gradual falling off in ship ping losses until the minimum since Germany's intensified submarine campaign began was reached No vember 11, with a total of six.
