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.

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

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

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.
