Meats, Fats, and Milk Are Threatened By Rise of Bolshevism
Herbert Hoover Tells of Starving Condition of European Countries
Herbert Hoover, U. S. Food Admini-
strator and Director General of European relief, sent to the Administration in Washing a message giving details of food conditions in countries so far investigated by the American staff under the direction of Alonzo Taylor, in connection with Allied commissions. These surveys disclose that meats, fats and milk are so short in many regions that the health of the people is very much impaired, mortality among children is appalling and there is a constant menace through the threatened spread of Bolshevism, causally in the cities.
Crops were far below normal and the surplus is rapidly being exhausted, so that in many districts if starvation is not already at hand, it is only a short time ahead.
The investigations so far carried through indicate that the total amount of food needed by the countries under consideration will amount to about 1,400,000 tons to take them through until the next harvest, costing in the neighborhood of $350,000,000 delivered.
In his cable Mr. Hoover says:
"In his call to art," Wooer told
"our reports show, specifically, as
follows.
"Finland: The food is practically exhausted in the cities. While many of the peasants have some bread, other sections are mixing large amounts of straw. They are exhausted of fats, meats and sugar, and need help to prevent renewed rise of Bolshevism.
"Baltic States: The food may last one or two months on a much reduced scale. They sent a deputation to the minister at Stockholm imploring our food.
"Serbia; The town bread ration is down to three ounces daily in the north, not accessible from Salonica. In the south, where accessible, the army are formed as part of the civil compaition. We are trying to get food in from the Adriatic.
"Jugo Slavina: The bread ration in many towns is three or four ounces. All classes are short of fats, milk and meat."
"Vienna: Except for supplies furnished by the Italians and Swiss, their present bread ration of six ounces per diem would disappear. There is much illness from the shortage of fats, the ration is full on week. There is no coffee, sugar or eggs and practically no meat."
"Tyrol. The people are being fed by Swiss charity.
by Swiss charity.
"Poland: The peasants probably have enough to get through. The mortality in cities, particularly among children, is appalling for lack of fats, milk, meat and bread. The situation in bread will be worse in two months.
"Rumania: The bread supply for the entire people is estimated to last another thirty days. They are short of fats and milk. The last harvest was sixty per cent a failure.
"Armenia is already starving.
"Czecho Slavakia: There is large suffering on account of lack of fats
"Bulgaria: The harvest was also a failure here. There are supplies available for probably two or three months.
and milk. They have bread for two or three months and sugar for six months.
"We have each country under investigation as to the total amounts required to barely sustain life and their resources to pay."
To the Slender Woman
Afford Greater Charm and Style
WOMEN of slender figure are apt to think they can wear almost any corset.
The right corset, an American Lady model designed especially for your figure, will make it possible for you to always keep that erect poise and charming gracefulness that are so noticeable in the slender woman.
True, petite figures and tall, willowy types have a natural charm and gracefulness. But even a naturally perfect figure will quickly lose its beauty unless properly corseted.
For every slender figure, tall, medium, or short, there are several styles of
