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.

PEACE ADDS TO
U. S. 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.
