The Appeal

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. The statement that there is plenty of rye and barley in France, which has been given wide publicity in this country, is flatly refuted by Pitney, who said: "It is not only wheat that is short in France, but all cereals. According to official figures, the annual consumption of barley in France before the war was approximately 1,250,000 tons, 15 per cent of which was imported. Produced in fallow off so that nearly one-third of the barley had to be imported in France last year. "The normal consumption of rye is about the same as for barley, but normal imports are only about 8 per cent. In 1915 the production was about 400,000 tons under normal and no imports were available. Italy Worse Off Than France. "The annual consumption of corn average 1,150,000 tons, about one-half being imported. The proportion of imports in 1916 had risen to two-thirds. "The annual consumption of oats before the war was 5,500,000 tons, of which 500,000 tons were imported. In 1916 these imports rose to over 1,000,000 tons the stock was still 500,000 tons short." Broad general statements have been published saying there is no food or supply shortage in Italy. They are of the same stripe as the statements concerning France. Italy's plight, if anything, is worse than that of France, according to official reports in the hands of the United States government. WOMAN SITS IN STORTHING Miss Sara Christie Takes Place in Norwegian Parliament as Representative of Trondhjem. Christiania, Norway. — Miss Sara Christie has taken her seat in the Norwegian parliament as a conservative representative of the city of Trondhjem. At parliamentary elections in Norway, parliamentary members of parliament are always elected at the same time to take the member's place in case of illness or death, so elections to fill vacancies never take place. All members of the storring are engaged in special committees to prepare legislative work or dealing with the government's proposals before they are submitted to the storring. In this way Miss Sara Christie, who is now summoned to take the seat of Professor Soeland, becomes a member of the defense committee to consider the army and may estimate instead of her predecessor. Miss Sara Christie is a director of a girl's school in Trondhjem and has for many years been a member of the town council. She is esteemed as a prominent teacher and a great administrator. "USE THE WATERWAYS AND WIN THE WAR" Washington—"Use the waterways and win the war!" is the slogan of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, which opened its fourteenth annual convention here. The auditorium of the New National museum welcomes governors of states and territories, mayors of cities, towns and villages and many prominent representatives of commerce and business. The fundamental purpose of the conclave, it is announced, is not to urge appropriations for new projects, but to plan how the various branches of government may most effectively use the waterways at this time of railroad crisis and congestion New York—Experts in the booking and routing of circuses will come to the aid of the government in its problem of transportation for the country, it was learned here, and the efficient methods of the show business will be applied directly to the work of moving supplies for the United States. Nor will the circus methods to be placed on the military roster be confined to the booking of transportation. The kitchen system of the big tops will also be transferred to the army cantons, and men who have long traveled with the circuses and established the kitchens of the outdoor organizations will shortly be enlisted into the service of the country for the purpose of standardizing the kitchens at the various army cantons. 365 POTATO DAYS 1918 GOAL United States Food Administration Seeks to Obtain Constant Use in America. Washington—The Irish potato on every table in America every day in the year is the object of a campaign begun by the United States food administration. Grocers will be asked to inaugurate a "potato day" each week, selecting whatever day is slack in deliveries, and making a special price. Fairly regular purchases are to be urged on the public, so that distribution will be equal everywhere for the next five or six months, relieving railroad congestion and encouraging production of a larger crop next spring. Improvements in potato growing methods are being studied by the department of agriculture. German plans twice as many potatoes as the United States and gets more than twice as many bushels per acre. VOL. 34. NO 4 ALLIES SUFFER FROM SERIOUS FOOD SHORTAGE Success in War Imperiled I American Homes Do Not Come to Rescue. HUN PROPAGANDA AT WORK Stories Alleging Plentitude of Food in Allied Countries Jeepardize Cause of Allies—Correspondent Tells of Conditions in France. Washington. — Irresponsible statements from unknown sources, purporting to show that there is no food shortage in France and other allied European countries, are creating a wrong impression in the public mind and seriously hamping the government's food conservation program, declares the United States food administration. The administration can only repeat what it has said all along on the basis of official government statistics: There is a serious food shortage in France, and in other allied European lands—shortage which, if not made up by conservation in American homes and shipments from American ports, will imperil allied success in the war. Any statement, innocent or malicious, which alleges a plentitude of food over there is German propaganda, pure and simple. Get Wrong Impression. Persons returning from Paris have unintentionally jeopardized the cause of the allies by giving American newspapers their flash impressions of food conditions in France. Explaining how this happens, Fred B. Pitney, American correspondent, recently returned from France, said: "I have kept house in Paris during the war and I can speak from experience. One learns a great deal when keeping house of which one gets no inking when living in a hotel and eating in restaurants. One can always go to a restaurant and get a meal. "I have heard many visiting Americans, who lived in France in that way, pooh-pooh the idea that there was a food shortage in the country. If those same persons had had to search the place before they had their meals, they would have a very different idea of the food situation. "We paid last winter in Paris 11 cents pice for eggs and $2 a pound for butter and there was frequently neither butter, nor eggs nor milk to be had. Private families were allowed to buy one-eighth of a pound of flour at a time. The grocers could not sell flour, only the bakers." The Meat Situation. Soffing at the idea that there is a shortage in France, one article recently published in the United States declared that a certain Paris meat market advertised "beef a la mode" and other real meat items as "meatless day specials." This, according to Pitney, may easily have occurred without at all indicating that there was no meat shortage in France. With regard to the meat situation Pitney said; to govern government is very bureaucratic, but the French people do not be overgoverned. They object seriously to anything that savors of meddling in a man's private affairs. "Saying how much or what a man shall eat is getting pretty close to private affairs and therefore the French government knowing intimately the people it has to deal with, is slow—s-l-o-w—in coming to such measures even in face of the only too evident food shortage in the country. "So far, meat has withstood all efforts to control its consumption—there has been no attempt to control its price, and yet it is vitally necessary to control the consumption of meat in France to increase the supply." Herses said. With regard to the published statement in this country that France's herds are sleek, fat and plentiful, Pitney said: "France's herds are disappearing rapidly. They are today far below the danger point. Soon they will have to be reconstituted entirely. To what extent the herds have disappeared is shown by the cutting of the meat ration of the soldiers at the front. At the beginning of the war they were twenty per cent and now been from that ration. Only dire necessity will countenance reducing the food allowance of soldiers at the front. "At the beginning of 1914 France's cattle herds comprised 14,787,710 head; sheep 16,131,900 and hogs 7,035,850. By the end of 1914, after five months of war, her cattle were reduced to 1,6,268,348, her sheep to 14,038,361 and hogs to 5,925,291. Today her cattle herds are down more than 20 per cent, her sheep number no more than 10,000,000. "Cattle feed is short in France and the cattle are poor and underweight." National Price Fixing. Concerning the statement that there are plenty of beans and potatoes in France, Pitney said: "A scheme of national price fixing is to be tried now with beans and potatoes. Both of these crops are far better for the requirement of the country. I have seen potatoes on days when potatoes could not be bought in Parks."

Nattily dressed in khaki and bringing with her many thrilling stories of experiences on the western front in France, Miss Carolyn Stevens of the famous Jod Hoboken family, returned to her home on a furrow of three weeks. She has driven supply automobiles and ambulances for more than a year and has been under fire of German guns on numerous occasions. She was on the western front when the Germans bombarded Nancy and during the artillery engagement was under attack. On one occasion while she was stationed in Dresden, who had been overcome by gas from the German lines, her ambulance was bombed by a German aviator. She was the first woman to drive through the newly established American camp after the arrival of General Pershing's forces, from whom she received a stirring ovation. OYSTER FAILS TO PROPAGATE Experts Unable to Determine Cause for Disappearance Connect- Involve New Haven, Conn.-In two years there may not be any Connecticut oysters. Government experts have been looking into the failure of a "set" in Connecticut waters for two years, but thus far have been unable to determine why the once plentiful bivalve fails to propagate in the sound. A "set" is the term used to describe the conditions when oyster spawn attach themselves to shells dumped into the sound waters for the purpose. The spawn floats on the water and attaches itself to favorable objects under water in August. The oyster ago last August there was little or no year near at all. Just what has brought about this condition is a mystery but not only to oystermen, but to experts who have been probing the failure. Oysters which were "set" several years ago are still growing under favorable conditions and from them the markets of the East are supplied. CARTRIDGES USED IN MAKING OF CRUCIFIX Denver, Colo.—A crucifix made of German cartridges and bullets is the unique war souvenir of Lieut. Thomas Patterson Campbell of this city. Lieutenant Campbell served in the American Ambulance corps on the French war front, and was presented with the crucifix by a French mechanic. It was made in an airdrome on the Aisne front; its polygonal base foundation was cut from the base of a 225-millimeter howitzer shell casing; the stand is the fuse cap of an Austrian 105-millimeter projectile, while the cross itself is composed of German cartridges and bullets picked up in "No Man's Land." 'DINING' TRADE NOT 'INCOME' Internal Revenue Commissioner Ruler Money Spent on Moneymay May be Deducted Washington.—"Dining" out-of-town buyers is a proper business expense for commercial houses and may be deducted legitimately from earnings in figuring incomes and excess profits taxes, Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper ruled. Many New York and Chicago jobbers of clothing, millinery, and other merchandise had asked anxiously for such an interpretation, urging that the cost of meals and entertainment for prospective customers was no small item. So long as the dinners have a business aspect, they may be charged against earnings, the commissioner decided.

APR NEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATU DOING MUCH TO RESTORE FRANCE Americans Are Doing Wonderful Reconstruction in Devas- tated Section. Miss Anne Morgan and Her Co-Workers Share in Primitive Life While Carrying on Labors Among Destitute People. New York.—Miss Margaret Stevenson, co-worker of Miss Anne Morgan in devastated France, has just arrived in this country with the first direct news of the reconstruction work already accomplished by this American Fund for French Wounded unit composed of ten American women. Miss Stevenson told of the 27 villages they have partly rebuilt of the 5,000 acres of land they have had held, the hundreds of refuge families they have cloaked, fed and installed in houses they have furnished; the classes they are running for children who have run wild since the beginning of the German occupation, and of the community center they have established at Bierancourt, in the heart of the ravaged region. "We are living in rude wooden barracks built on the ruins of the old Chateau of Blerancourt," said Miss Stevenson. "Our barracks are furnished with the same unpainted furniture and plain iron beds that we give to the peasants. The heads of our unit, Miss Anne Morgan and Miss Anne Drake, share with us in this room. They are up at seven o'clock in the morning, butts, help with the dishes, and then are off about their duties, visiting the refugees, finding out their wants and helping install them in temporary shelters. Both Miss Morgan and Miss Dike speak French as well as they do English, and they have entered deeply into the lives of the people. Something approaching normal village life has been restored to the communities under the care of the American Fund unit. Miss Stevenson says, "The French unit in charge of the Alismand-Somme districts, both of which were systematically devastated by the Germans. "Our unit is militarized and works directly under the French army," Miss Stevenson explained. "Through the military authorities, Miss Morgan has obtained valuable aid. Soldiers on eight-day leave from the trenches are put, under her direction, to help shattered homes and plow the neglected fields of the bodied men or women left in this part of France. When the Germans retreated they swept the civilians before them. All who were able to work for them they kept behind their lines; the nonproducers—that is, the feeble old people and the small children—the have allowed to return. These are the refugees, the people we have to help make homes for and make support- "They are wonderful too, these old people," Miss Stevenson went on. "They return to their destroyed homes worn out with suffering and hardships, but no sooner are they on their beloved soil again than they seem revitalized, filled with energy, and the desire to restore all that has been destroyed. They build one-room shelters for themselves from the ruins of their once comfortable homes or else their government puts up small demountable wooden wives for them. These we furnish from home life—nurses, bedding, kitchen utensils, and we supply them with clothing and foodstuffs. Everything that is sent to us from America we give them without cost, but the stoves and kitchen utensils that we buy in Paris we sell for two-thirds the cost. They prefer to have it so, and they pay any way they choose—in work or vegetables. The first thing they do when they reach their homes is to start a garden, and many of them have been able to support themselves this way. Others make their living by washing for the soldiers. These are age old people, remember, aged men and very old, twenty-five and even eighty. They walk miles away to get help from us, and they wheel great loads of supplies on wheelbarrows some eight or ten miles over cobble roads. "These old people who have worked hard and denied themselves all their lives so they would have a competency in their old age have to begin life again with nothing but their stiff old hands and their courageous hearts. They all regret now that they didn't have a little more fun out of life when they were younger, that they had not put off ease and comfort until their old age. But they do not complain; they just dig in and work harder than ever to make a home for the sons and daughters who may come back at the end of the war, or at least for the grandchildren." Mio, Mich.-Miss Lottie Pertres woke at 2 a. m. recently in a cold sweat and saw what she thought was a man's hand on the foot of her bed. She reached under her pillow for a shot and shot off two of her own foes. Live in Rude Barracks Wonderful People. Shot Into Her Foot.

New York—New York police are breathing sighs of relief today because Miss Marilyn La Touche, seventy-two, is in the lorries awaiting sentence after conviction on the charge of grand larceny. "Her conviction," said the district attorney, "ends a criminal career which has worried the police of New York for thirty-five years. During the period she has engaged successively swindling operations which have haunted the power of the police to stop. Not since 1885, when she was sent to the penitentiary, has she been indicted or convicted until the present charge was made against her." She was convicted on the charge of obtaining $200 from a woman on the pretense of making a profitable investment. FRENCH WOMEN PAINT GUNS Thousands From Fourteen to Past Sixty Years of Age Working for the British Army. Behind the British Lines in France. —Many thousand French women and girls, ranging in age from fourteen to well past sixty, are employed by the British army at various kinds of work behind the lines. One task at which they excel all other workers is the painting of camouflage on guns. They also make good packers at the various army storehouses and ordinance dumps, their deft, active fingers making it possible for them to do this work with 50 per cent more efficiency and speed than any other class of workers. In many of the clerical sections of 'the ordinance department they work side by side with the uniformed English girls belonging to the women's auxiliary army corps. The French girls have no knowledge of English. HAS 32 RELATIVES IN WAR Wife of Denver Physician Has Numerous Kin Fighting on Side of Allies. Denver, Colo.—Thirty-two relatives sent to the war—all on the side of the allies. That is the record of Mrs. R. M. Campbell of Denver, wife of a prominent physician of this city. Four kinsmen of Mrs. Campbell, who entered the struggle at the beginning of hostilities between England and Germany, have been killed. All were serving with Scotch regiments. Two others in the same units were wounded. The other twenty-six are still fighting with Scotch or Canadian forces on the western front in France.

'GLAD TO SEE YOU, OLD CHAP' Democratic Behavior of Officers Contribute to Popularity of American Troops in France—One Inch dent American Field Headquarters. Nothing has contributed more toward the popularity enjoyed by American troops in France than the democratic behavior of their officers. I witnessed a delightful sample of this the other day in the city in which Maj. Gen. Robert Lee Bullard has his headquarters. Privileged to accompany the general to the local theater, I was standing with him and two of his officers in the lobby during the intermission, when a "Poliu" hove into view. The Frenchman, who wore medals for valor and stripes showing he had thrice been wounded, had evidently consumed a goodly quantity of his country's wine. Afterward we learned that it was his first day out of hospital, and naturally he had celebrated a bit. "Glad to See You, Old Chap!" "Glad to See You, Old Chap!" "Ah, volla des Americans!' he exclaimed joyously. "I'm indeed glad to see you old chap!" he went on, shaking the general's hand vigorously. "It's the first time I've met an American, though I heard a lot about you in hospital. Welcome to France! When are you coming into the trenches with us?" With that he plunged into a long experience, delivered in very good English, which he said he had learned during his trip through the United States five years before. General Bullard listened so calmly and kept right on smiling even when the Polu clapped him on the back and called him his "side partner" and invited him to have a drink. "Another time, thank you very much," said the general. The soldier strolled off. In two minutes he was back again, but this time he drew himself up at attention and gave a flourishing salute. All's Well That Ends Well. "Excuse me, sir," he said, "they tell me you're a general. Is that true?" "Yes, that's so." General Bullard replied, still smiling. "Well, then, sir, all I can say is I beg your pardon. I thought you were a sergeant, sir, the same as I am. I'm not used to your American uniforms." "What do you do at the front, see "What do you do at the front, serve?!" the general asked. "I'm a machine gunner, sir." "And you've been to America?" "Yes, sir." "Would you like to act as instructor to some of our machine gun men?" The Pollu was overwhelmed. It must be explained that practically every man in the French army who speaks English has applied for one job or another with the Americans. And here was an American major general whom he had taken for a mere sergeant, inviting him to do what huntsmen, French officers are vainly asking for! "You bet your life I would," the Pollu fairly yelled, again seizing the general's hand. "Come to my office tomorrow, then, and we'll see about it." The Pollu came. CONQUEST AND KULTUR The Germanization of America has gone ahead too far to be interrupted. Whoever talks to the danger of the Americanization of the Germans now here is not well informed or cherishes a false conception of our relations. . . . In a hundred years the American people will be conquered by the victorious German spirit, so that it will present an enormous German empire. Whoever does not believe this lacks confidence in the strength of the German spirit—Letter of a New York German, Robert Thiem, to the Aldeutsche Blatter, Sept. 20, 1902. LEVEL FAMOUS CANTON WALL San Francisco.—The thousand-year-old walls of Canton, China, which withheld many an onslaught of Tartar brigands, are being torn down to make way for a trolley line. The Chinese are substituting the American bathtub for the usual dip in the river. This information was brought to this country by Gen. Chang Ting Tsu of the Chinese army, who is in the United States to inform the war department of the extent to which China intends to operate against Germany. General Chang says that the survey for the road before which the ancient Canton walls are crumbling has already been completed. It will be a belt system and will follow the line on which the walls were erected. $2.00 PER YEAR WIN HIGH HONOR BY HEROIC DEEDS Recent Examples of Courage and Self-Sacrifice in British Records. GAVE HIS LIFE FOR OTHERS Second Lieutenant, in Face of Liquid Fire Attack, Holds Enemy Off Until Help Comes—Sergey Was Born to Command. London, England—The London Gazette, with official livability, recently gave accounts of the heroeship and devotion to duty of nine British soldiers, who have been rewarded by the highest honor the British soldier can win—the Victoria cross. The brief stories from their very reticence tell all the more effectively of thrilling bravery and of the exhibition of capacity for leadership on the part of an officer, N. C. O.'s and men. The case of Second Lieut. H. F. Parsons, who belonged to the Gloucester regiment, is one where a junior officer grasped the importance of the post he was holding, and at the cost of his own life, and despite severe burns from liquid fire, saved the situation on his part of the line. The bombers holding the post were forced back, but Lieutenant Parsonsung on, bombing the advancing enemy, and delayed them long enough to enable a bombing party to be formed and come into action. The party succeeded in driving the enemy out of the line before they reached any of the British trenches. How long Lieutenant Parsons held the position is not stated, but we do know that he was severely burned before the attack. At that time during the time he held the enemy he received such severe wounds that he died from them. Fought Until Gun Worked. Another man who displayed the same grasp of the facts of a situation, and gave his life to hold an important post, was a Canadian infantry sergeant, Frederick Hobson. During a strong hostile counter-attack, an enemy shell exploded on a forward post where there was a Lewis gun, and buried the gun, killing all the crew but one man. Sergeant Hobson climbed from his trench and ran up to the gun. He helped it dig it out and got it into action against the advancing enemy. The post lay in a communication trench that led to the hostile lines, and the enemy were coming down the trench and across the open. No doubt the enemy had something to do with the fact that he stopped firing. There was nothing now to hold the enemy. Sergeant Hobson had been wounded, but he told the gunner to correct the stoppage, and rushed forward. Single handed, he fought the enemy with bayonet and clubbed rifle until at last he was killed with a rifle shot. But his bravery had saved the situation. The Lewis gun again came into action and held the enemy until re-enforcements arrived, when the attack was completely defeated. It sometimes occurs in a difficult situation that man will stand out as a born leader. He is the man of the party who understands the position and is quick to seize the most meager object that presents itself. It is apparent that man has no mind of the Irish guards is such a man. This Irishman, from Rathdowney, in Queens county, won the Victoria cross for most conspicuous bravery and not a little ability as a leader. He was in command of 15 men forming two advanced posts. With no water and little food, he held the position for 96 hours, though surrounded by the enemy. The morning of the fifth day, a greatly superior force of the enemy advanced to dislodge this party, which was apparently a thorn in the flesh. Sergeant Moyney ordered the attack, and taking the initiative, attacked the enemy with bombs. He had a Lewis gun with his party and used it with deadly effect from the flank. The enemy got round him, but by a charge he broke through, himself leading the rush. Half-way across the path of his retirement was a stream, and the sergeant took advantage of this to cover the retirement of his men. He was helped by a Lancashire man. Private Thomas Woodcock. Between them they held up the enemy until the whole party had got across the stream, when both retired under a show of bombs. Private Woodcock helped the sergeant by using his Lewis gun until the very last moment. The enemy were almost right up at the post before he and his N. C. O. cleared out. The enemy were throwing bombs as quickly as they could, and the "bursts" were all around the stream. Private Woodcock was nearly clear of the stream when he heard the cries of some man left behind. A member of the party was calling for help. In spite of the bombs, Woodcock waded back into the stream and picked up the man who was calling for help. He took him out of the water and carried him, in broad daylight, right across the open ground under heavy machine gun fire; so the man was able to escape. Private Thomas Woodcock of Wigan, Lancashire, receives the Victoria cross as does his N. C. O. lance sergeant, Moyney. Their adventure is a very fine example of the initiative and courage of the British soldier.
