"Am n mntter nf fact tho people of KnKland, Franco and Italy are, with rare exceptions, llilng now on very re duced intlotm and these will undoubted ly, because nf crop shortages, be further reduced beforo summer.

"It Is squarely up to tho people of the I'nltcil .States, therefore, to furnish tho deficiency between food enough and starvation.

We've got to stop this waste, our Allies must be kept up to lighting strength physically, and we've got to supply this strength. "Tho big hotels and restaurants in our cities have not done their part and their prosperous some of them, I re gret to pay, war-pro.Hrous patrons have not encouraged them to cut down their menus, specially on staples. "Hut, In the last analysis. It Is to the I homes nnd tho cooks of the well-to-ilo that o look for real conservation nnd economy In staple eatables. This rcsj-on-nihility must, to n large extent, bo volun tarily assumed, as a law will probably fooii be passed taking care of all public tatlng places."

"Tho trumps In the game almost all the trumps have been pliycd by Oer. many. It will not do for us to deceive ourselves now as the Allies have been deceiving each other and even their own people. They made mistakes nnd they took things sir they came, but they have had Homo time at least to make up for It The difference of our present por tion la this that wc have no time to mako any mistakes.
