A — J 4 PAGE SIX --HUNGER DRAWS THE MAP Bl famine Conditions BZ Serious Food Shortage Sufficient p ys: (iS) TI / food pledge A food map of Europe today shows not & single country in which the fu- ture does mot hold threat of serious difficulties and only a small part which is not rapidly approaching the famine point. With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficlemt food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, aud even in the Ukraine, with stores accu- mulated on the farms, there is famine in the large centers of population. Belgium apd northern France, as well as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in a different rela- tion from the ether nations to the peo- ple of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations ef Belgium and northern France and. is already making special efforts to eare for thelr Increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be Included in this plan, are urgent in the extreme and must have immediate relief. The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended t= her during the war const!tuces the strongest appeal foi us co continue our work there. The moment the German armies withdrew from her soil and she Pesries alstady Lovie seat of government the little nation’s first thought was to express her grati- tude to the Commission for Relief in Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens. Germany, on the other hand, need not figure im such a map for Ameri- cans because there is no present indl- cation that we shall be called on at all to take thought for the food needs of Germany. Germany probably can care for her own food problem if she Is given access to shipping and Is enabled to distribute food to the citles with dense populations, which are the trou- ble centers. England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, all of which have been maintained from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet Immediatp ous difficulties. The same is true of Spain and the northern neutral coun- tries—Norway, Sweden and Denmark —whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw tc some degree upon foreign supplies. Most of Russia is already in the turoes of famine, and 40,000,000 people there are beyond the possibility of help. Before another spring thou- sands of them Inevitably must die. This applies as well to Poland and needs, but their fututre presents serle, gions, with conditions most serious In Finland, Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering a heavy toll of death. The Armenian popula- tion is falling each week as hunger takes its toll, and In Greece, Albania and Roumania so serious are the food shortages that famine is near. Al- though starvation Is not yet imminent, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur- key are in the throes of serious strin- gencles. In order so fulfill America's pledge in world relief we will have to export every ton of food which can be han- dled through our ports. This means at the very least a minimum of 20,000,000 tons compared with 6,000,000 tons pre- war exports and 11,820,000 tons ex- ported last year, when we were bound hy the ties of war *c (ne European allies, If we fall to lighten the black spots on the hunger map or if we allow any portions to become darker the very geace for which we fought and bled wil] be threatened. Revolt and anarchy inevitably follow famine. Should this happen we will see in other parts of Europe a repetition of the Russian de- bacle and our fight for world peace will have been in vain. wis established once more in her own + SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS’ HONOR ROLL COURLY 0000000000000 000000000000000000cscassscessorcocs TOWI c000000000e0000000000000000000000000s0000000000 PENNSYLVANIA WAR HISTORY COMMISSION.

R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, N. C. New Telephone Toll Rates (Announced December 13, 1918, by Postmaster General, Washington, D. C.) Effective January 21, 1919 New schedules of rates for telephone toll calls (to points outside the local service area) under which all toll calls throughout the United States are placed on a uniform basis, became ef- fective 12.01 a. m., January 21, 1919. Under these new schedules the “station to station’ rate is the base rate upon which all rates for the various classes of service offered, are computed. This rate is determined by the air line distance between toll points and is computed, for the initial period, on the basis of 5c for each 6 miles up to 24 miles and 5c for each 8 miles beyond that distance. For toll calls where the calling party does not specify a particular person to be reached at the called tele- phone, “station to station” rates are charged. For toll calls where the calling party does specify a particular person to be reached at the called telephone and the connection is established and conversation held with that person, “person to person’ rates are charged. As this service requires a greater amount of operating effort, the rate for such calls is about one-fourth greater than the “station to station” rate. The minimum “person to person’ rate is 20c. Toll calls involving an appointment to talk at a specified time, or involving the use of mes- senger service to secure attendance of a designated person at a public telephone at a distant point may be made at rates usually about one-half greater than the “station to station” rate, plus the cost of messenger service. The minimum rate for such calls is 25¢. For all toll calls other than those made on the ”’station to station” basis, where connection is established but the conversation is not held because the calling or called party is not present or will not talk, a “remort charge” is made, equivalent to about one-fourth of the “station to No report charge is station” rate. The minimum “report charge” is 10c; maximum $2.00. made if the call is completed before midnight of the day it is placed. Night rates, applying only to calls made on a ‘station to station” basis, are quoted between a. m. The rate between 8.30 p. m. and 12 midnight is about one-half the 8.30 p. m. and 4.30 day rate, and between 12 midnight and 4.30 a. m. about one-fourth the “station to station’ “station to station” day rate. The minimum night rate is 25c. calls must be made as far as possible by giving the telephone number of When the number is not known and telephone directory information is * or if the called telephone “Station to station’ the called telephone. not available the number should be obtained from “Information,’ is at a distant point, the name and address of the called subscriber should be given to the Toll Operator, stating that it is a “station to station’ call. The “station to station’ rates are substantially lower than the “person to person” rates. In order that patrons may effect the greatest economy in their charges for toll service, and also maximum speed of connections, they are urged to study their toll service requirements and to make the widest possible use of “station to station” calls.
