HOOVER WA3 EIGHT. HOO'K slaled tliat food would win the war for the .lilies. For an army to fight effectively, it 711,1st be well fed. l'or a nation to sustain the fighting spirit and morale haelc of the an 113', it must be well fed, also. It was hunger that brought the Kussian revolution to a foeus and caused the collapse of Knssian niorahi and the ensiling an- areh3', Jt is the lack oL lood rnat manes uussia sua impo tent as a fighting fort'e and denioralied as a politicul entity. Lack of food is breedinL' revolution in Austria. Lank of food contributed largely to Austrian defeat at the hands of Italians who are being fed by America. Hence the food we have saved in the United States, by going without white flour and curtailing the quantity of sugar, by our meatless and porkless days, has already resulted in the first blow for victory in 'the far-away Venetian plains. That other victories may lollow, we must continue to save food for our armies and our allies and shame on the person that complains and docs not cheerfully and whole heartedly comply with any and all demands made for food economics. (ieriuanv has been victorious in the field not decis- ivly, of course, but triumphant enough to keep up that nal ion's stamina and lighting spirit. Yet, according to returned neutrals, food is the main topic discussed throughout (ierniany taking precedence even over the (ionium offensive. And because; the German people are hungry and ill-nourished, discontent is rife ia the empire and only military success and the ruthless arm of military authority, prevents revolution. Hut the glittering -proin-ises of victory and the brilliant exploits of the army, do not fill the aching void-of an empty stomach and sooner or later a -people made ravenous lry starvation will attack their riders. Without American food, famine would "nave forced the surrender of the allies long ago. Britain, France and Italy have been kept on the firing line and back of the tiring line by the foodstuffs from America. The assistance to be ren dered l3- our army, with its promise of victoiy, is not more vital than the ships of wheat and supplies we have sent in a never ending stream. And prospects for a record yield the present season promises continued assistance. AVhen success finally rests on allied arms, and democ racy is triumphant over au1ocra( the result will be duedi rccf ly to food which will have won tho war. Hence each'and every one of us must co-operate to Itirnish this food, and continue our co-operation until the longed for result is achieved. ' ' AN UNHAPPY w 1IILE the food situation of popular protest pire is the immediate- cause- fit tne Attstriai can inet crisis, the underlying cause is the autocratic dismissal of parliament, the refusal to the empire a voice in their government, and t lie conse quent oppression and tyranny of subject nationalities.' Agitation against tlie war sia no longer a menace, there is no reason why the Austrian should fight. The aggrandizement of a foreign nation is not an ellcctive appeal to patriotism to a starving army, liven the promise of loot, spoils and food made by J'mi peror Charles in his proclamation to the army: lielore vou is the encinv. also honor, good food, abundant spoils, final peace. With the help ot Clod, make the supreme sacrifice tor your Jung, for liberty and for your beautiful fatherland," failed to stimulate the Austrians for tluy are fighting to perpetuate tyranny and fasten the yoke of a foreign tyrant over their beautiful faiheriand. The various nationalities comprising the empire aic at swords point. The Herman Polish element of trying to betray the monarchy to the en tente, and announce themselves ready to fight it without quarter and to the very end. The Slavs say they are taking no notice of the threats and accusations oft he Germans, and that they will fight at any sacrifice, until they have won a victory for their cause. The Czech delegates made a peremptory demand for (he immediate convocation of the reiclistag, saying they will continue their opposition to the ministry. The government is without a majority hence parlia ment will stay adjourned. Czechs, J 'oles and Navs are united against the Germans and even the Magyars none too amenable.

Some, happily, enjoying a political entity, are fighting openly and with arms against, tho enemies of progress. Others, unhappily submerged, can give but a passive opposition. Others have been forced against their will Into the armies of tho common en emy. Finally, a few still remain out side, hard pressed, threatened by the mailed fist, dreading alike to be drawn In and to be found apart from the rest when the hour oft settlement arrives.

This drui? is a sticky ether compound, but dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tiBBue.
