Tbe world is now face to face with a supreme struggle against famine. Mr. Hoover understates the gravity of the food situation rather than overstates it. America can be of In calcuabl service to humanity during the coming year by practicing self denial and exporting its surplus of food to the starving millions in the devastated continent of Europe. Our task in feeding our friends now in cludes that of feeding those who were our enemies. Even the most embittered enemy of Germany realizes that anarchy in the domains of the central empires would be a world catastrophe. Noth ing ran promote anarchy like famine. No orderly settlement of the war Is sues or the lines forecast by the vic tors can be attained if responsible government with which It is possi ble to treat and place under inter national obligations do not survive the shock of the sudden breakdown of the old imperial regime. This is instantly understood by so stout and implacable an enemy of German imperialism as Premier Cle men reau. who promises on behalf of themselves, the utmost possible as sistance in food supplies for the pop ulation of central and eastern Europe It is no strained interpretation of the situation to say that the spread of Bolshevism from Russia as far West even as the Rhine may depend upon our success in feeding the German people the coming winter. Anarchy knows no national bound aries and patriotism cannot be nour ished on an empty stomach. If the western democracies wish to witness the amalgamation of German and Russian socialism into an empire of the proletariat under the leadership of fanatics and terrorists, they will leave the inhabitants of those coun tries a prey to the pangs of hunger. It is fortunate, indeed, that Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd George and President Wilson agree as to the ex treme urgency of giving relief at the earliest possible moment. The north temperate zone Is on the edge of winter. Not in many gen erations has there been in this zone so small an amount of food in pro portion to the number of human beings to be fed. During the last growing season none of the Allied Countries in Europe produced enough to feed its own inhabitants for the coining year. Going east from Fiance, the situation becomes steadily worse In this respect, until in European Russia millions are now in danger of actual starvation before the next crops can be grown. The salvation of the European pop ulations now depends upon North and South America, Australia and even India, the land of traditional famine, Mr. Hoover estimates that North America, including the West Indies, must send abroad at. least twenty million tons of foodstuffs in the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1919. as com pared with 11,852,000 tons in the last fiscal year and a prewar normal export of six million tons. Yet the United States this last season har vested a total crop of cereals and their substitutes, that was two hun dred and twenty-five million bushels less tan the total crop of 1917 and four hundred and eighty-one million bushels less than the record crop of 1915. Of wheat the United States can furnish a goodly amount for export: it is in corn fed animals that we will be short on account of the corn crop shortage this year, and this means an Inadequate amount of meat and fats. Particularly undernourished In fats the European populations will be In the Immediate future, or until the production of pork and bacon can be greatly Increased. Wheat for Eu rope can be drawn somewhat from India, whose surplus is estimated at about fifty million bushels, and from Australia and the Argentine. There Is doubt, however, concerning the available surplus for export in the two countries last named, for the much talked of surplus of one hun dred and fifty million bushels await ing shipment In Australia is reported to have shrunk very materially on ac count of various pests, while It Is asserted that Argentine wheat has maintained a fairly normal export movement throughout the war and its influence on Europe's food, pro blem is already discounted. The sugars of Java, however, should alle viate the European sugar scarcity as soon as the Idle Dutch shipping can make the long outward ocean passage and return. Any survey of the world's available food supply must show how near the dead line of starvation the lowest down populations of the war-swept Countries of Europe now are. We shall hear more about their needs. In one way or another, before we hear less. The gravity of thel? plight cannot be exaggerated. The fight for the preservation of civilization has not ended, although it Is no longer being waged with high explosives and machine-guns. Hogwallow News. Raz Barlow says If he was In a fight and the other fellow took his gun away from him and kept his own and it loaded all around he wouldn't call it an armistice. Now that the war Is over the Hog wallow Loafers Club will disband and reorganize on a new line, as there will be entirely new subjects to be handled and discussed, and a differ ent type of officers will have to be elected men of different tempera ments for the handling of subjects that are to come up In times of peace. Slim Pickens found a five dollar bill In the road between Hogwallow and Musket Ridge yesterday. The Old Miser, who passed within a few feet of the money only a few minutes before, on learning of Sim's good luck collapsed. He has not yet thoroughly recovered from tbe shock. The Hogwallow Improvement As sociation has done voted that BUI Hohenzollern will not be desirable citizen for Hogwallow and he will not be permitted to locate here should he desire to do so. An aeroplane passed over Hogwal low last week. Atlas Peck is still in his cellar. Slim Pickens is beginning to fatten a little around the knee joints since oumoklns and persimmons are ripe. Dock Hocks, dentist and black smith, pulled a tooth for Miss Gon dola Henstep and made a mistake and pulled the one with the gold in it. Dock was very much disappoint ed over the accident, as It does not speak well for his profession that is. that branch of his profession. He said he would have tried to apologize to her for this blunder, but that th-re was no use to try to reason with a woman In a case of this kind. Hogwallow did not learn the war was over quite as quick as the fellows in the well organized towns, but the news was Just as good here as any where. Atlas Peck, who has been observ ing figures lately, says it certainly does take money to carry on a war. Sile Kildew is talking of making the race for Depity Constable. Sile already had lots of opposition before this became known and he will have a lot more if he becomes a candidate. The trustees dropped in on the Wild Onion school teacher the other day at the school house and caught him asleep. It might have gone pret ty hard with him had he not explain ed that he was planning a new world map to be put In use in the Wild Onion school at once so that the pu pils of his school would be far in ad vance of those who had to wail on the action of the peace conference to take up the study of the new geogra phy. The trustees seemed to appre ciate the interest the teacher U tak ing In the school. Dock Hocks says there has never been much said and thought about it but that feet are pretty useful to a fellow. The armistice was discussed pro and con by the Loafers Club last night and all finally agreed (hat it was a provision made for a fellow to quit without being killed. Mr. McAdoo'a Resignation. (N. Y. World.) The resignation of William G. Mc Adoo from the offices of Secretary of the Treasury and Director General o; Railroads ought to find a sufficient explanation in impaired health and strength. What with the Inauguration of the Federal Reserve Banking System at the beginning of his term of office and the entrance of the country into a war involving financial operations on a role never before heard of or dreamed of, there had fallen upon him duties in the Treasury Depart ment alone far more arduous than were known to any of his predeces sors who presided there in times of war and great public sterss. To those duties there had laterly been added the immeasurable tasks belonging to the wholly untried field of a central ized administration of all the vast railroad properties of the United States. Either of these two places at such a time was enough to try the strength of the strongest of men. Together they were more than should have been given to one man and more than any one man should have un dertaken. That Mr. McAdoo has filled them with a great and a growing ablliiy will hardly be questioned anywhere, and It is doubtless not going away from the truth to say that he has found them beyond his strength. The President's characterization of his service In both posts as "distinguish ed, disinterested and altogether ad mirable" will be generally accepted as no more than merited.

FOOD TASK Europe Needs Nearly Double Last Year's Supplies From America. ECONOMY MUST CONTINUE. World Survey Shews Sufficient Wheat, But Shortage of Fats Govern ment's Stimulative Pro gram Justified. With the return of peace America Is confronted by a food problem evea harder of solution than tha,t with which we coped In time of war. We have an entirely new world situation in food. It will mean essential changes In our domestic program. Bat more Important than this. It most of neces sity require increased export Last year we shipped 11,820,000 tons of foodstuffs to the European Allies. Bed the war continued we would have increased this enormous figure to 17, 650,000 tons In the present year. Now, with the responsibility of feeding mil tons of people liberated from the Ger man yoke, our exports must be brought op to at least 20,000,000 tons prac tically the limit of loading capacity at ur ports. World Food Demand Increased. The end of the war will create an enormously Increased demand for food. Humanity demands that the starving millions freed from Prussiaa oppres sion Khali have sufficient supplies to assure their return to health and pros perity. If these liberated nations are faced with starvation they cannot es tablish orderly governments. Hunger brpeil nnarchy In a people. The war to five the world for democracy will be lost after It has been won. Amer ica must continue Its work to libera tion and by sharing Its food make de mocracy safe In the world. In order to meet this new situation the Food Administration has made a careful survey of the food resources of the whole world In relation to the to tal demands. Computing supplies on the basis of the avoidance of waste and war consumption, It Is found that wheat and rye may be obtained In suf ficient quantities to meet economical world consumption; high protein feed for dairy animals will show a shortage of about 3.000.000 tons, while there will be sufik'lent supplies of other feeds to allow economical consump tion ; beans, peas and rice will also be found in sufficient quantities to main tain economy in consumption; there are sufficient supplies of beef to keep pace with the capacity of refrigerating space. Great Fat Shortage. The most distinct reversal of policy will come with pork and dairy prod nets, vegetable oils, sugar and coffee. Utmost economy wll be required In the use of fats and oils, lu which there la a world shortage of about 3.000,000, 000 pounds. Inere are sufficient sup plies for us to return to our normal sugar consumption If ether nations continue their present short rations, or even If their rations are slightly In creased. If the European countries, however, are to resume their normal sugar consumption It will be through our continued conservation In order to share with them. Tlere is a sur plus of coffee. Of the world total required to pro duce these results North America will furnish more than 00 per cent The United States, Including the West In dies, will be In a position to furnish a total of about 20,000,000 tons against our pre-war ex porta of about 6,000,000 tons. The bread grains situation allows the world to abandon the use of sub stitutes In wheat bread. Large sup plies have accumulated In the Argen tine, Australia and other hitherto In accessible markets. A continued high milling percentage, economy of con sumption and elimination of waste make It possible for the world to re turn to a white wheat loaf. Of all our export possibilities la fats, the largest and most Important Item is pork. While we cannot supply the world deficiency, we will be able to help It enormously because of the past policies of stimulating production and restraining consumption. The government's policy with regard to stimulating the production of wheat and of pork, the readiest source of fats. Is thus amply Justified by the sit uation upon the return of peace. Famine Specter 8 till Stalks. The people of the United States must continue care and wise economy In the use of food In order to complete the work of liberating tbe world. But even with the utmost conservation and production In this country there wjll be in Europe for the next year or more starvation beyond all human power to allay. In North Russia there are 40, 000,000 people to whom food cannot be made accessible this winter. Their transportation Is demoralized in com plete anarchy. And even If Internal transport can be assured their ports of entry would soon be frozen. Millions more who have felt keenly the oppres sion of war will be beyond reach of as sistance. We must realize that upon our shoulders rests a greater responsibili ty than we have ever before been asked to assume. We must realize that millions of lives depend absolutely upon the continued service and sacri fice of the American people. We mvat realize that the specter of famine abroad now hsunts the abua tfance of our table at home. WAR SAVIXa and THRIFT STAMPS Tea. I am selling them and waat to sell yon yours.
