SfEDTORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OlMXiOX. TIIlMfSDAV. MAY 191S PAGE THREE EFRAI OF U. S. TROOPS? "Suppose France should collapse as a result or the lack of food, due to the unwillingness or neglect of America to make the necessary sac rifice to supply her soldiers and citi zens, what would become of the rap Idly growing American army at the French front?" This is one of the disquieting pos sibilities of the food shortage men tioned by Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of the Oregon Agricultural college, In his series of talks on food and the war, which be is giving In Oregon as a representative of the United States government. --Dr. Kerr will speak in Medford, Page thoator, Sunday morning, May 26, at 11:09 o'clock. This Is a spe cial union service and is in honor of the G. A. ri. Dr. Kerr will speak in Ashland, Chautauqua auditorium, on Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock. A special band concert has been ar ranged for the occasion, the concert beginning at 2:30 o'clock. These meetings are under the auspices of the Red Cross campaign committee, county council of defonse, county food administration, county agri cultural council, Ministerial associa tion, Commercial club, and other pa triotic organizations. These organi zations urge a largo attendance, and expect all who are Interested in win ning the war and desirous of obtain ing more definite Information as to what each can do to help win, to at tend this meeting. How America, and especially Ore gon, can best respond to the demands for increased food production, Insur ing the food supplies essential to the successful prosecution of the "war',' will be dealt with In the most prac tical way by Dr. Kerr, who has just returned from Washington, where he went over the entire question ot In creased food produotiju and conser vation .with the officials of the de partment of agriculture and fcdcial food administrator. The wheat shortage In tb.j rilled countries is 62 4 million brshels Their only source of supply is the United States wh'ch has a normal consumption of approximately the amount produced. French rations have been cut down one-half. The effects of the sliortnge are disclosed In a statement from the French com missioner, Andrew Tardleu: "France has reached the limit of sacrifice and suffering behind tho lines. Unless America, by similar sacrifices, comes to her immediate aid, when she does arrive with her full military strength she may find the conditions upon which victory de pends entirely changed. Unless ev ery ftvrmer, shopkeeper, hotel man every citizen, co-operates with the profits, England and Italy, as well as France, will face a slate of depic tion that will undermine the morale of tho people." , .Many working people of England aro on a dlot of only one-third nor mal. And England is combing tho country for the last 600,(1(10 effect ives. America should uphold and sustain them now, for if England falls France and Italy are gono, and AmcrUa must bear the burden alone. It is so much easior to help now, and It is felt that if only the truth wcru known loyal American citizens would be willing to make all necessary sac rlfces to increase tho food supply by growing more food materials, saving more, and relinquish profits. Dr. Kerr is directly representing the government and Is delivering the message of the nation to Its loyal citi zens. All who have tho welfare of their country at heart are asked to come out to the meetings and help create a sentiment for saving for vic tory in this war wherein tho liberty of' mankind th at stake. ' I. W. W. CANCELLED l'OKTXAXIl, May 21'. Citizenship )mpers previously granted d,r Swclnin, an I. W. W. organizer, were revoked by Judfre ('. K. Woherton in tile federal court today, on the ground thai Nwelu'in had procured cit izenship through fraud and deceit. Swelgin was taken t Seattle at the close of the hpnrinir, where he will be interned as an alien enemy. ' In reiiderinir bis dceisimi, Jiulu'e Wnlvertiin said of the I. W. W, H advocates lnv!e-ness and con structs its own morals, which are not in accord w ith those of omanied so. ciety, its adherents are anti-patriotic." Of Swrluin, he said: . "He made n vow which vein not in his heart, lie is n disbeliever and is opposed to organized government,'' "VYu.sn.'t it splendid?" That was the question heard on all sides as a laijie ami tliornuhlv delighted au dience left the Hialto theater Tues day night alter enjoyin;,' a concert consisting of Indian 'music given by the students of St. .Mary's academy. It was something new and entirely different in the line of music and op ened for the listeners Ihe gate to the soul of the American Indian, and slinwcd Unit therein there lie rare hid den jewels of culture and art, and yet not largely known or appreciated by the great majority of American people. Although beautifully harmonized, the value of the selections render ed did tint lie so much in their length or hri M :: -l ".i in t. Indian ehhr eetcvisties which they portrayed. Kaeh piece wa.s chosen lo set forth some luoml of victory, disappoint ment or yearning hope of the Indian. The young ladies taking part were well (rained, and so skillfully did they interpret the various numbers that the audience had mil the slighlest dif ficulty in following the changes of theme, from the daring boast of Ihe "liig Chiel" to the plaintive strains of the Indian maiden's lullaby, or the mourning song of a tribe for a de parted warrior. The stage was cleverly decorated lo suggest an out door Indian abode, anil t lie costumes added an elahoratc touch of reality to the scene. halfIonWple Tho little god of love does hot seem to have an arrow in bis quiver long enough to pierce the hearts of Bert Cilllesple, th Bill-pound movie actor lato of tho Keystone comedy company, and the young lady known as i.Nollle, the human plum pudding. When Nellie joined the Foley and Burk shows last week, with which Gillespie has been all season, tliu show people predicted that romance would weave its magic web around the half-ton couple and that there would In time be a "swell" wedding In "broad" life, which Is somewhat different from high life. But the matchmakers scent no orange blos soms as yet. In fact, Hert and Nellie do not get along very well together and "spat" on every occasion, as result of professional jealousy. Nellie will ask Bert if he is sick, remarking that he looks palo and thin. Hert will come back by saying that ho has gained two pounds and that he would weigh more if ho piled on the paint and powder like some people he knows and the war Is on. Major .loe I.eisslng, who is 50 years of ago and only 20 inches tall, threatens to pull Gillespie's nose If he doesn't stoji "picking" on Nellie. and everybody is wondering. These interesting people will be In Medford next week witli the c.'.rnival to be given for the Groator .Medford club's patriotic fund. Nino distinct shows, numerous rides and .10 olhcr carnival attractions will mak'3 the event one of unusual interest and it is predicted that huge crowds will be In attendance.
