IT keeps us human," said a soldier to Lord Northcliffe speaking of one of t these great agencies. Fifteen cents a . day per boy isn't too much to spend to : ' "keep him human" and to bring him , back the way he went away. And yet that's all it costs. How many boys will you look after for how many days ?

port program proved

the world that America

Overshadowing all other accomplish

ments of the American people under

the leadership of Food Administration

Is the history of wheat exports In the

past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-!

conclusively to

was in this

war from start to finish and willing to

nake any sacrifice tint will hasten

victory or maintain the health and

strength of people overseas, upon

whom rested the .heaviest weight of our war.

Now that pressure on ocean tonnage

is eased by the slopping of large movements of troops to Europe, we may re-

ax our efforts to save wheat. The ac

cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen

tine and other hitherto inaccessible markets will become available, and probably no more than our normal surplus will have to loavo this coumry. We.ln America and the nations which have-won the world for freedom will be enabled to cat their normal wheat

loaf at tho common table of the peo

ples of democracy.

We entered the past crop year with

a wluii supply which gave us only

20,000,0u0 bushels available for export. When the crop year ended, we had sent 14.1,000,000 bushels of wheat

to Europe. The American people had

saved out of their normal consumption

121,000,000 bushels.

A -survey of export figures shows

that the conservation of flour brought

about .by tho whoa tl ess meals, wheat-

less flays, Substitution In our kitchens and bakerlcs.cHabled us to send to our armies and the allies 33,000,000 barrels of white flour wheat figured as flour. Had we exported only our

visible surplus, we would have been

able to ship less tlitn 4,500,000 barrels.

Before tho 1st of December our sur

plus had gone overseas, and an addi

tional 30,000,000 bushel had been tak

en from the stock reserved for home consumption and added to the surplus

already shipped to the allies. It seemed hardly possible that we could bring our total exports above 100,000,000 bushels by July 1. But In January the late Lord Khondda, then British Food Controller, cabled that unless we could send an additional 75,000,000 bushels he could not take responsibility for assuring his people that they would be fed. The American people responded by sending 85,000,000 bushels of wheat, saved from their home consumption, between the first of the year and the advent of the new crop. By October 10, 101S, we had already shipped Gr,9G0,305 bushels since July 1. Absolutely the only limitation upon our wheat exports since the latest harvest has been the scarcity of ocean tonnage. If exports continue at the present rate, by July 1 of next year we will have sent more than 237,500,000 bushels to Europe. ' Thus are we making good America's pledge that the bread rations of Allied Europe shall be maintained.

A GERMAN HOPE DISPROVED AND A GERMAN FEAR CONFIRMED,

- V

A statement made by a prominent German official soon after this country was declared In a state of war with Germany shows that even in the enemy country clear thinking students did not undervalue the strength of the American republic. Only in his confidence that we could not land in Europe sufficient troops to affect the final decision was this German mistaken. i4I do not fear the American soldiers," he told a high official of our government, "because they cannot arrive in time. What I fear is the intelligence and devotion of one hundred million original minds and people, trained to a faith in individual initiative. Tift? day that these people, now so materialistic in outward appearance, are stirred spiritually, that day ris the day

aTE support and comfort of your fFoyX ers' huts has been, and will continue to be, a tremendous physical comfort and moral support, and has given the soldiers that feeling of home which was so much lacking. I take this opportunity of Repeating to you, the paramount good, both physical and moral, that your organization has brought about in our midst. 79 General M.

Home Is Where the Boy Is In

: t This War

By Bruce Barton

I visited :i home where a service flag hangs; and while we ate we talked of the boy who is over there. "I wonder if he is cold tonight," the mother said, "I wonder if he has a place to warm himself and dry his clothes; and something good to eat." t "What wouldn't I give to be with him," she said and we were silent, knowing her hearty i But I thought of the Soldiers of Friendliness who that very night would crawl out across No Man's Land to take chocolate and hot coffee to that boy. Of the huts with their warm fires burning; of the great lecturers and preachers and actors and motion pictures that arc over there. And I thought to myself; "There is a difference between this and every other war. For when the boys have marched away before, the influence of their homes has stopped at the front gate, and could go no farther, j But in this war it follows the flag, across the ocean, over the shell torn battle land, straight up to the front line trenches. , Home is where the boy is in this war. From every town and village the lines of helpfulness run out. i Arid no boy leaves his home behind him: step ty step it travels with him, financed by the folks !behind him a token of their love.

9 SUPPOSE you had been a week in the trenches can you imagine what it would mean to you to come out and run into a full-fledged good old American baseball game? The shipments of baseballs sent to France would make a line more than two miles long if they were laid side by side. The athletic orders placed by the war work agencies are the largest in the history of sport Keep the boys' t spirits high and they will tend to the Kaiser. Get behind the
