Drastic c Hon to rope with the food shortage Tears! was urged today In tho Senate debate. Senator Smoot urged a monthly fast day to conserve the tnod supply. Senator Borah declared the situation not due to actuul shortage, but to the transportation and labor situation. "If this draft law is executed as It waa the last time," said he, "we are going to see a breakdown in farm pro duction. Senator- J 'Vies, of Washington, asked If every person In the country should not be drafted to do the work best suited to them. If tho war keeps on that certainly will have to be done, said Senator Smoot. "If -this war should continue two years lonttrr," Senator Smoot contin ued. "I am afraid there will be srarrity of food In the world and many of our people will be compelled to go short in order to assist in feeding our Army and Navy and the armies and navies and the people of other coun- riea engaged with tlx.

"The American people must be made to understand that the responsibility f seeing that hunger is not allowed to dishearten our allies or to compel neutral countries to seek the absolute necessities of life from our enemies rests upon us. "Why not have a National fast day once a month? If every American citi sen would abstain from eating two meals on that fast day the health of one hundred million Americans would be benefited, and further we would have more of the necessaries of life to send to the people of Europe, now com pelled to live on the shortest or ra tions."

The resignation of the Voit Seydler cabinet. It is understood in parliamen tary circles in Vienna, is due to the opposition of Polish deputies against special debates and the" provisional budget. The opposition of tha depu ties makes a majority for the budget doubtful. President Groas of the lower House, announcing the resignation, said that according to tha constitution, it was necessary to postpone temporarily the sittings of the House. The cabinet of Tr. Von Peydler, which was formed last June, was reported to have resigned during the recent labor crisis in Austria-Hungary. This re port, however, waa not confirmed. Dr. ton Brydier was able to bring about the cessation of the strike by In forming labor delegations on January rlared he did not believe there would be any shortage If it were properly distributed.

He said it would be uneless to tell the people of his state that it is necessary to save potatoes. -Fast daya will not meet the situa tion." declared Senator Jones. He de dared Congress should devise some way of making every one work in or der to produce more food. Enrollment and agricultural training of "unemployed and idle men not liable to the draft, but capable of doing farm work, was proposed In a bill intro duced at the request of the Depart ment of Agriculture by Senator Jones. Its purpose Is to replace farm work- era railed Into military service ana proposes that the unemployed and idle SO that it was the wish of the Austrian I m,n designated should be assembled in Emperor to end the war at the earliest possible moment by an honorable peace.

WASHINGTON. Feb. S. Presentation or persons who said our soldiers were spending; their time in the wine shops of Paris waa telling a blank He." Drlaklag Never AbaoraaaL Just because it will take a long time for this letter to get by the censor and reach the- home folks. It may be mentioned that Rev. Mr. Woodfin's re mark was made before General Per shing's order of removing many of the department bureaus from Paris and be fore the full effects of "no more Paris permissions" had fully gone into effect. In running down this falsa statement I also got It from officers who have had "cushy" berths in Paris for many months, that drinking among our sol diers, or for that matter among1 the soldiers of the allies, has always been nil. The fact of the matter is this, the psychology of the American soldier in France does not permit his over-drinking or over-indulgence in anything ab normal, whether he be soldier pre paring himself for the hard work of knowing how to conduct himself prop erly In battle or whether he be a mem ber of that vast and unsung army be hind the line. The whole thing is so vast, so tremendously big. that there is no time for abnormal things. To ac complish big- things the real things worth while, is to do the normal. This Is what tha American forces are doing in France. The coming of the American to France is going to do as much for the Atnerlran as it is for the Frenchman. To fight is his big purpose, to rebuild the havoc the Huns have wrought Is the next big thing. One has heard it said that it takes six men back of the man In the front line to keep him there. Well, just multiply your figures three times and you have some idea of the tremendous task that the United States has to accomplish. I said has to. I should say is accomplishing. Here In Paris one meets the men who are doing this, and from their talk, figur ing at the lowest, for every Uncle Sam soldier occupying a front-line trench ready to go over the top, there will be behind him 20 men. . .

Of course, this vast army behind the lines will lack the glamor and romance (vhich is thrown around the soldier with his rifle, his trenching tools and his sack full of hand-grenades. Yet he is a hero just aa much so as if he went over the top and stumbled across no man s land. It is this army that Is building new docks, making new har bors where harbors were not before, making new railroad bed. repairing those of France that have deteriorated because of the war. constructing mess' houses and sleeping; barracks for the American forces and -the almost count less things necessary behind the line. These construction and reconstruc tion forces are doing- a wonderful work, not only for the comfort of the American soldier, but for France. heard of one American officer in charge of an army of this sort, who spends hi: days thinking up schemes to get more work out of his forces and his nights thinking up different forms of cam amusements so that his men will be satisfied to remain in camp.

I O At Ihis writing; I haven't been granted permission to visit our men in their camp. I only know they are safely In France. I have met several who have seen and talked with the men and was told they are well and more comfortably situated than they were in the last camp In the Ignited States. The Rev. D. A. Thompson, who has a charge in Aberdeen, Wash., and was formerly pastor of a Presbyterian church in Kellwood and former presi dent of the Christian Endeavor Society of Portland, met and talked with a number of our soldiers. The Rev. Mr. Thompson comes to France as a Y. 31. C A. worker. He has a thrilling story to tell of his trip across. While at a point be tween the Scotch and Irish coast, the ship he wan on was picked up by number of U-boat chasers. It seems that the German subs were huntina. for shortly after the convovs I came there was a sudden activity among; the submarine chasers and number of shots were fired. Rev. Mr. Thompson did not see any signs of the L-boat, but he says that upon landing he heard that the destroyers had ac counted for another Fritz.
