Goodman, 5 Now Army Physician, Writes ' of Devastated City. Wedding bells will not ring Christmas eve for M. H. Squires, who is serving a nine-months term in the county jail on a statutory charge.

The necessity for the V allies to rely upon North America is purely a question of shortage of ships, and their absorption in the transport of ' - munitions and American troops. It is a vital necessity to utilize shipping to the best advantage. If peace should come before the 1917 crop year is ended, the allies could transport wheat . over the long ocean routes of the world, instead . of the short route between North Amer- lea and Europe. There would then be , little demand for American wheat, and - the price in this country would fall, probably to a very low level compared : . with present prices, because the theoreti cal pipes which . regulate world priee " would then be restored, and the law of , ; ' supply and demand would again be in operation and with a vengeance. -.' "The American supply Is about one . r half the allied needs. If we can reduce our consumption by one pound of flour m per-week per person, or 20 per cent, we wilt have raised our export surplus from 70,000,000 up to 200,000,000 bushels. The allies will do their, utmost to meet the - shortage by conservation methods, using . all - the corn that is possible in their bread, and, if possible, securing some . - wheat from more distant countries to make up part of their deficiency. With - their best efforts, , however, it means privation to them until peace Is -declared, and the size of their war loaf depends upon our savings through conservation by every man. woman and child in the United States." An Oregon man. Dr. Albert R. Good man, porn In Gervals and, now a sur geon In the United States army, with rank of lieutenant, has been in charge of the government relief work in Halifax. - ' r Dr. Goodman, In a letter received by relatives In this city, writes: "I 'left Governor's Island ' on some 20 minutes' notice, to again report to the American Red Cross, this being tne thtrd- time I have gone with them. We arrived after considerable delay. owing both to : congestion of freight and the storm which had to come at a most Inopportune time for a poor unsheltered people.
