WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.
The 1R17 wheat crop In Franc? wan
l?as 1 1 1 it 11 half normal, lining the crop
of 1913 a# a basis of comparison, i
There was a ahortage of 17ft.6OO.OO0 j
bushels, or RS.8 per cent. The potnto ;
crop was only within one-third of nor
mnl. The augn r beet crop showed n
rteflclt of ffT.ft per cent. Her meat
herd* In the early fnll showed n short
age of 1,300,000 anlmala.
Those are a few of the reanonn
Amerlcn must fe^d l?er nsnoolntes In

ABLE MEN ARE WANTED BY ?
Y. M. C. A. FOR RUSSIA
American Y. M. C. A. Workers Teach Returned Russian Soldiers Useful
Trades
** ?
With the Government at Washington prepared to lend economic and
philanthropic support to Russia, the National War Work Council of the
Y. M. C. A. 1r actively recruiting to reinforce the Red Triangle workers
already manning huts over there. Agricultural experts, physical direc
tors and regular Y. M. C. A. secretaries as well as other men familiar with
welfare work in communities are being, sought.
A further consideration of a definite policy toward Russia has served
virtually as a "go-ahead" order to the association. The Y. M. C. A .lhrough
all uncertainties of the past few months, has kept 100 of its secretaries in
Russia. These men have been kept busy day and night in an effort to
build up the morale of the citizens and soldiers of the unfortunate coun
try. The secretaries today are in all parts of Russia.
lu the dark days of Russia the American secretarieg "stood by" all
over that country to serve the people in every way possible. Thousands of
invalid prisoners were taken care of as they returned from Germany. Most
all the men worn broken in health. They died, almost without exception,
with curses against Germany. But greater even than their hatred was their
wonder that their countrymen could have made "peace" with such an
?nemy.
"The Y. M. C. A. leaders in Russia," said Dr. W. W. Alexander, direc
tor of the War Personnel Board of the Southeastern Department, National i
War Work Council, "have naver doubted the essential soundness of the
Russian people. Despite all difficulties and inevitable losses and discour
agements, the Y. M. C. A. haa remained in Russia, seeking to serve and
watching for a better day. The day Is nefcr evidently coming."
Fifteen new secretaries. With ability to contribute some constructive
element to the Russian life'of the future are being searched for throughout
the Southeastern Departnueat, Some agriculturists are wanted, some
tmsiness men, but the call cones stronger for men skilled In rural Y. M.
O A. and Community wortc. All are to go with the purpose of helping
Russia help herself.
