' Commenting on the foregoing figures,
the report says:
"There is, therefore, ample wheat in
the world ; It is solely a problem of
transportation. 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."

The company contended that it was

A last minute warning of the danger
of fire with Christmas trees and decora
tions is given by Fire Marshal John
Young. He also warns the public of the
danger of candles to Illuminate Red
Cross signs.
"Exercise care," he urged this morn
ing." Carelessness means fires and fires
mean loas of property and Uvea. Do not
use candles on the Christmas trees when
small electric lights may be used. Use
asbestos strip. Instead of cotton for the
Christmas tree decorations Remove the
tree from the house when the celebra
tion la over. Unless this la done, the
tree will dry and the fire danger Is
multiplied.
VT -.J A "By mistake notices were sent out by
IN CCCi iiSSlSiailbS th campaign committee of the Red

with candle. Owing to the fire danger
this has been changed and owners of i
the signs are requested not to use can-dies."
