YiiInIeedssleep Driver Risks Court Martial to Let Him Get It. 'Incident Which 8h6ws How the V. M. C. A. Stands With the Army. By B. M. BATCHELOR. "No boys, lvin not so very tired," said the Y. M.- O. A. secretary. "Just a little after a week of that," Indicat ing with a wave of IiIh hand the coun try behind, from which came Incessant sounds of artillery and machine-gun fire. Rut he was dead tired, and the am bulance driver who was giving him a ride knew It The secretary's head bobbed from side to Hide. as the athbU' In nee thumped along the rough road. At intervals the Y. M. C. A. man slept, roughly, roused whenever a shell-hole Jolt threw him against the aide of the vehicle. The ambulance was stopped by the side of the road so that the drlv( r might tighten a loose boltr, "I guess I'll lie down for a minute while you are working," said the Y. M. C. A. secretary. In a second he was sound asleep by the road. An hour later the driver shook him. "Sorry to wake you up," he said, "but I absolutely must be getting on. 1'tn likely to be court-martialed now for being so long on this Job, but 1 would rather take a 'month and a month' than have robbed you of that sleep. I decided that the war could go on for an hour without me. whllo you tore off 4d winks." This 1s Just one of many instances showing how the Y. M. C. A. stands with the army. That driver had vol untarily risked ratting into trouble with his conmianofrv? officer because he knew the Red Triangle man need ed sleep. SAILOR SYMPATHIZES WITH iORD BISHOP Quecnstown. ?

FOOD TASK Europe Needs Nearly Double Last Year's Supplies From Amerioa. ECONOMY MUST CONTINUE. World fturvey Show* Sufficient Wheat, | But Shortage eg Fate? Govern ? I merit's Stimulative Pro tram Justified. With the ret an i of |*ace America Is confronted by a food problem even harder of solutloa than, that with which we coped in tluio of war* We have an entirely pew world situation In food. It will mean essential changes In our domestic program. But tuora Important than this. It must of neeea alty require kscrvaaed export. Last year wa shipped 11, ?20,000 tons of foodstuffs to the lOuropano Allies. Had the war continued we would have Increased this enormous figure to 17, ? 050,000 tons In the present year. Now, with the responsibility of feeding mil Ions of people liberated from the Qer roun yoke, our eiports must be brought up to at least 20,000.000 tona? prac tically the limit, of loading capacity at ?ur ports. World Food Demand Increaaed. The end of the war will create an enormously Increased demand for food. Humanity demands that the starving millions freed from Prussian oppres sion shall havo sufficient supplies to assure their return to health and pros perity. If these liberated nations are faced with starvation they cannot es tablish orderly governments. Hunger breeds anarchy In a people. The war to freo the world for democracy will be lost after It has been won. Amer ica must continue Its work to libera tion and by sharing Its food make de mocracy safe in the world. In order to meet this new situation the Food Administration has made a careful survey of the food resources of tbe whole world In relation to the to tal demands. Computing supplies on the basis of the avoidance of waste and war consumption, it Is found that wheat utid rye may be obtained In suf ficient quantities to meet economical world consumption ; high protein feed for dAlry animals will show a shortage of about 3,000,000 tons, while there will be sufficient supplies of other feeds to allow economical consump tion ; heutis, peas and rice will nlso be found in sufficient quantities to main tain economy lu consumption ; there are sufficient supplies of beef to keep pace with tbe capacity of refrigerating space. ''Great Fat Shortage. The most distinct reversal of policy will come with pork and dairy prod acts, vegetable oila, sugar and Coffee. Utmost economy, will be required In the use of fats and oils, In which there Is a world shortage of about 8,000,000, 000 pounds, laere are sufficient sup plies for us to return to our normal sugar consumption if other nations continue their present short rations, or even if their ratlens are slightly In creased. If the? European countries, however, are to resume their normal sugar consumption It will bs through our continued conservation in order to share with them. There is s sur plus of coffee. - Of the world totsl required to. pro* duce these results North America will furnish more than 00 per cent. The United States, Including the West In dies, will be In a position to furnish a total of about 20,000,000 tons ? against our pre-war export** of about *000,000 tons. The bread grains situation allows the world to abandon the use of sub stitutes In wheat bread. Large sup plies have accumulated in the Argen tine, Australia and other hitherto ln acceasible markets. A continued high milling percentage, economy of con sumption and elimination of waste make it possible for the world to re tarn to a whits wheat loaf. Of all our export possibilities In fats, the largest snd ,moat important Item Is pork. While we cannot supply the world deficiency, we will be able to help It eaermously because of the past policies of stimulating production and restraining consumption. The government's policy vwith regard to stimulating the production of wheat and of pork, the readiest source of fats, is thus amply justified by the sit uation upon the return of peace. Famine Specter 8till Stalks. The people of the United States mast continue care and wise economy ta the use of food la order to complete Ifce work of liberating the world. But evea with the utmost conservation and production ta this country there will N In Burope for the next year or more Starr stf on beyond nil human power to allay. In North Russia there are 40, 000.009 people to whom food cannot ho made accessible this winter. Their transportation la demoralised in com plete ansrchy. And even If internet transport can be assured their ports of eatry would aoon be frozen. Millions more who have felt keenly th# oppres sion ef war will be bejond reach of as sistance. We must realize that ->upon our shoulders rests s greater responsibili ty than we have ever before been aaked to assume. We mast realize that millions of lives depend absolutely upon the continued service and aacrl ?ce of the American people. We meet realize that the specter of famine abroad now lia an La the abun dance of our table at home.
