FAMINE follows war, and pestilence follows famine. H. A. Phillips, American Mercury writer, recently returned from Europe, says Europe faces famine. Agricultural labor has been taken off the farms and put to military uses, leaving the old and the weak to till the fields. Trenches have been dug Instead of wheat fields being tilled. The "feed boxes of Europe are producing less and less.
