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

"The American people must be made
to understand that the responsibility

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

Senator Borah declared any amount
AMSTERDAM. Feb. S. Dr. Von Seyd-

the resignation of his entire cabinet of food Is now going to waste and de
to Emperor Charles, according to a
dispatch from Vienna.
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.

There are 000 carloads of potatoes
In Idaho, he said, which because of the
transportation situation will be lost.
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.

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. . .

course, this vast army behind the lines

(vhich is thrown around the soldier

his sack full of hand-grenades. Yet he

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.
