In spite of a subnormal food supply In this country the American people have been able to ship to the Allies as well as our own forces overseas 141,000,000 bushels of wheat besides 844,600,000 pounds of meat during the year ending June 30 last This has been made possible by the whole-soule- d of the people, who, besides practicing self-denia- l, have speeded up production and re-sponded nobly to the appeal from abroad. Food Administrator Hoover, In a letter to President Wilson, gives a brief summary of the results of food conservation In the United States and 6f the activities of the Food Admin-istration to this end. The conserva-tion measures have been put through practically on a voluntary basis which Is regarded as a splendid tribute to tbe patriotism of the American people. Meat shipments were Increased 844 000,000 pounds during the first fiscal year, ns compared with our meat ex-ports during the year before America entered the war. "The total value of these food ship-ments," Mr. Hoover wrote President Wilson, "which were in the main pur-chased through or with collaboration of the Food Administration, amount to, roundly, $1,400,000,000 during the , fiscal year." In 1916-1- 7 the United States sent the Allies 2,166,500,000 pounds of meat In 1917-1- with voluntary con-servation practiced In America, and aided by extra weight of animals, we sent the Allies 2,011,100,000 pounds of meat an Increase of 844,000,000 pounds. - Wheat 8avlng Enormous. When the Food Administration be-gan operations In the summer of 1917, this country was facing a large deficit In wheat Counting in all carry-ove- r wheat from the 1916 crop, we had at the beginning of the harvest year Just enough wheat to take care of America's normal consumption, not a bushel of surplus. At the close of the 1917-1-8 harvest year the Food Administration's official reports showed that our total wheat shipments to the other side had been 141.000,000 bushels. Every bushel shaped was wheat saved by the American people from their normal consumption. . c In cereals and cereal products re-duced to terms of cereal bushels our shipments to Allied destinations were 340.fl00.000 bushels. 80.000.000 bushels more than the amount sent In 1916-17- . Included In these figures are 13,900,-00- 0 bushels of rye and the 141,000,000 bushels of saved wheat In addition we sent the neutrals dependent on us 10,000.000 bushels of prime breadstuffs. "These figures do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice made during the post year by the whole American people," the Food Ad- - mlnlstratOT wrote. "I am sure that all the millions of our people, agiicul- - i tural as well as urban, who have con-- ' j tributed to these results should feci I a very definite satisfaction that in a j j year of universal food shortages ID I the Northern Hemisphere, all of those j people Joined together against Ger-- I many came through to the new hnr-i- 'j vest, not only with health and strength I fully maintained, but with only tern-- j porary periods of hardship.

T i ble was true. It is monstrous, " I It Is unthinkable, but It exists. T It Is the Prussian system F. C. Walcott 5 ' Ko more graphic description of the ravages of the German soldiery upon the civilian population of invaded countries has been given than is con-tained in the brief and simple state-ments of F. C. Walcott, now connected with the United States food adminis-tration, vho was assistant to Mr. j Hoover while America was feeding Belgium, Poland and northern France, In one of these statements Mr. Wal-cott says: . Even now I find it nard to describe In comprehensible terms the mind of official Germany, which dominates and shapes all German thought and action. Yet it Is as hard, as clear-cu- t, as real as any material thing. I saw it In Poland, I saw the 'Same thing In Bel-gians, I heard of it in Serbia and Rou-manl- a. For weeks it was always be-fore me, always, the same. Officers talked freely, frankly, directly. All the staff officers have the same view. Let me try to tell It, as General von Krles told me, In Poland, In the midst of a dying nation. Germany is des-tined to rule the world, or at Jeast a great part of It The German people are so much human material for build-ing the German state, other people do not count. 'All Is for the glory and might of the German state. The lives of human beings are to be conserved only if it makes for the staij's ad-vancement, their lives are to be sacri-ficed if it Is to the state's advantage. The state Is all, the people are noth-- , -- '.. Conquered people signify little in the German account Life, .liberty, happiness, human sentiment family ties, grace and generoiA impulse, these have no place beside the one concern, the greatness of the German state. Starvation must excite no pity ; sym-pathy must not be allowed, if It ham-pers the main design of promoting Germany's ends. "Starvation Is here," said General on Krles. "Candidly, we would like to see it relieved ; we fear our soldiers may be unfavorably affected by the things that they see.- - But since It Is here, starvation most serve our pur-pose. So we set it to work for Ger-many. By starvation we can accom-plish In two or three years in East Poland more than we have in West Poland, "which is East Prussia, In the last hundred years. With that In view, we propose to turn this force to our advantage. "This country Is meant for Ger-many," continued the keeper of starv-ing Poland. "It Is a rich alluvial country which Germany ,has needed for some generations. We propose to remove the able-bodie- d working Poles from this country. It leaves it open for tbe inflow of German workinr Deo- - pie as fast as we can spare them. They will occupy it and work It" Then with a cunning smile, "Can't you see how It works out? By and by we shall give back freedom to Poland. When that happens Poland will appear automatically as a German province." In Belgium, General von Bisslng told me exactly the same thing. "If the relief of Belgium breaks down we can force the Industrial population in-to Germany through starvation and colonize other Belgians la Mesopo-tamia where we have planned large Irrigation works; Germans will then overrun Belgium. Then when the war is over and freedom Is given back to Belgium, it will be a German Belgium that Is restored. Belgium will be a German province and we have An-twerpwhich is what we are after." That Is not all. Removing the men, that the land may be vacant for Ger-man occupation, that German stock may replace Belgians, Poles, Serbians, Armenians, and now Roumanians, Ger-many does more. Women left captive nre enslaved. Gerrnuny makes all manner of lust its Instrumentality. The other day a friend of mine told me of a man Just returned from north-ern France. "I cannot tell you the de-tails," he suld, "man to man, I don't want to repeat what I hoard." Some of the things he did tell shocking mutilation and moral murder. He told ' of women, by the score, in occupied j territory of northern Fnince, prisoned In underground dungeons, tethered for iho uso of their bodies by officers and men. If this Is not a piece of the Prussian ' system, it Is the logical product of din-- ! regard of the rights of others. i SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS 1 SPAIN AND PORTUGAL In Spain and Portugal sugar prices are soaring.
