TO CUT WHEAT
USE ONE-HALF
I
Military Necessity Demands That
Each American Eat Only 1 ’/a
Pounds V/heat Products
Weekly.
CORN AND OATS SUBSTITUTES.
Allies Must Have Wheat Enough to
Maintain Their War Bread
Till Next Harvest
It we are to furnish the allies with
the necessary proportion of wheat to
maintain their war bread from now
until the next harvest, and this is a
military necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to 21,000,000
bushels a month as against our nor
mal consumption of about 42,000,000
bushels, or 50 per cent of our normal
consumption. This is the situation as
set forth by the U. S. Food Adminis
tration at Washington. Reserving a
margin for distribution to the army
and for special cases, leaves for gen
eral consumption approximately 1%
pounds of wheat products weekly per
person, the Food Administration’s
statement continues: Many of our
consumers are dependent upon bakers'
bread. Such bread must be durable
and therefore requires a larger propor
tion of wheat products than cereal
breads baked in the household. Our
army and navy require a full allow
ance. The well-to-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices In the con
sumption of wheat products than can
the poor. In addition, our population
In the agricultural districts, where the
other cereals are abundant, are more
skilled in the preparation of breads
from these other cereals than the
crowded city and industrial popula
-1 tlons.
With Improved transportation condi
tions we now have available a surplus
of potatoes. We also have in the
spring months a surplus of milk, and
we have ample corn and oats for hu
man consumption. The drain on rye
and barley as substitutes has already
greatly exhausted the supply of these
grains.
To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
• rules shall be observed:
1. Householders to use not to exceed
a total of 1% pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than 1% pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking flour, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Public eating places and cluts to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present,
tn addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a totaf
of more than two ounces of wheat
flour. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Publie eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
eash ninety meals served, thus con
forming with the limitations requested
of the householders.
3. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any
town customer nt any pne time and
uot more than one-quarter of a barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of the three-quarter
pound loaf where one pound was sold
before, and corresponding proportions
In other weights. We also ask bakers
not to increase the amount of their
wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per
cent, of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March 1.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, ■
barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac
tion. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro
gramme in order that we may provide,
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large a pro
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are ab
solutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera
tion of the public by a further limita
tion of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and co-operation of the distributing
trader

WHAT GERMAN VICTORY WOULD
MEAN.
(Contributed by ARTHUR TRAIN
to the National Security League’s cam
paign of Patriotism Through Educa
tion.)
A German victory—or an Inconclu
sive peace—would mean the ultimate
realization of the German idea that
Germany for the good of the world
must rule the world. This has been
taught in her universities as philoso
phy and in her pulpits as religion.
The German nation unquestioningly
accepts it and intends to force the rest
of the world to accept it. This they
call “Kultur,” which they claim is
“above morality, reason and science.” 1 .
Kultur teaches that there is only
one sort of right—that of the stronger.*
It argues with specious profundity
that in the relations of nations with
one another there can be no such thing
as truth or honor. Frederick the Great
taught that the Germans must make it
their “study to deceive others in or
der to get the better of them.”* Fred
erick William IV. 70 years ago said
that all written constitutions were
only “scraps of paper,”* and Beth
mann-Hollweg in 1914 referred to The
Hague convention In the identical
words. The “scrap of paper” idea Is
an old one in German diplomacy.
The Germans believe themselves to
be a nation of supermen and the Kais
er the war partner—not of the God of
humanity, but the “guter alter Gott”
of the Pagan North —the War God—
who revels in the shrieks of women
and the torture of children, in blood
shed and cruelty. “I am his sword,
Ms agent!” declares William Hohen
zollern. “Let all the enemies of the
German people perish I God demands
their destruction—God, who by my
mouth bids you do his will 1”*
To accomplish this “divine” will the
German military authorities believe
that any means are justifiable—the
mowing down of crowds of helpless
civilians with machine, guns, the cut
ting off of the breasts of women, the
battering in of the skulls of the
wounded with rifle butts. “Be as ter
rible as Attilla’s Huns! ordered the
Kaiser.”* “It is better to let a hun
dred women belonging to the enemy
die of hunger than to let a single Ger
man soldier suffer.”’ “All prisoners
are to be put to death,” ordered Gen
eral Stenger in Belgium.' Writes a
Bavarian private: “During the battle
of Budonwlller I did away with four
women and seven young girls in five
minutes. The captain had told me to
shoot these French sows, but I pre
ferred to run my bayonet through
them.”*
This Is the concrete result of what
the Germans call "The Religion of
Valor” and “The Gospel of Hate.”
Says one of their spokesmen: "Must
Kultur build Its cathedrals on hills of
corpses, seas of tears and the death
rattle of the vanquished? Yes, it
must.” 1 ’
If Germany wins the war the Unit
' ed States will either be paying tribute
to the Kaiser or German soldiers will
be bayonettlng American girls and wo
men in Jersey City rather than take
the trouble to shoot them.
-If Germany wins all our ideals of
truth, justice and humanity—which
we call Christian—will be trodden
down into bloody mire under the iron
heel of the Kaiser’s armies, and the
coming generation will be taught that
there Is no'God but the merciless God
of Battle, who speaks through Ger
many’s treacherous tongue and by her
brutal sword,
