Sir Kdwnrd also voiced the deter-

the alms we praclulined at the begin-
nuiK ." Ilia tdgned statement follows:
"During the third year of the Jar,
which has Just ended, two eveuta of
outstanding Importance occurred
which must have dctislve Influence on
the last phase of the war and on the
peace that Is to follow. Tbene are
the revolution In Russia and the en-
trance of the I'nlted State* into the war In alliance with the entente powers.
"The Immediate effect of the Htsslnn revolution, froin a military point of
view, gives cause for great anxiety and lias, up to the present proved dis-
astrous. Hut It must be borne in mind that the government of*the late Itus-
elan emperor was hatching positive treachery to the alliance, and would lir.ve
caused much greater disaster to us by concluding separate peace with
Germa ny."

RED CROSS GETS GIBSON
This war Is challenging the big-
gest men we have with its stupendous
problems. That is how it comes that
they were aide to get the president of
one of the big New York banks to
take the position of general manager
of the American Red Cross. Harvey
I). Gibson is admittedly a big man.
enpnble of handling big propositions.
Hut the Kcd Cross in war time Is a big
enough proposition to occupy any man.
There arc about l.SOO chapters of
this legion of mercy in the United
States. They are engaged in varied
and multifarious activities, all directed
toward the amelioration of the suffer-
ing soldiers abroad. They arc engaged
In making more efficient the women at
home In first aid, cooking and eco-
nomical administration of foods.
Ail these and many other activi-
ties come within the range of the lied
Cross, llut there Is danger of over-
lapping and of waste energy. There
was need for a Idg administrative head to boss the whole Job. So they got
Mr. Gibson. He receives no pay for what he does. Administrative work for
which the Liberty National hank of New York lias been paying him liberally
he does for the United States for nothing. This Is his Hit in the war.

KEEPS GREAT BRITAIN AWAKE
Kennedy Jones Is teaching the
people of Great Britain just how they
may conquer the German submarines
—teaching them with cartoons, with
posters, with leaflets, with sizable
pamphlets with every hitherto known
advertising and publicity device and
with some of his own Invention used
now for the first time. America very
profitably may study the extremely
able methods of this world celebrated
specialist.
He was called in to help the gov-
frfilning to put things before the pub-
lic well and strikingly, for he Is on«
of the greatest editors in Kngland and
not only that but a publisher as well,
being one of the few outside of Lord
Northcllffe holding a considerable in-
terest In the vast enterprises of the
Northcllffe press.
lie was called In to help the gov-
ernment hammer Into the head of the
British public the necessity for food
economy when It became evident that It would be necessary to do this If the
German submarine campaign was to be nullified, because be already had
succeeded In one of the greatest publicity campaigns 'he world ever bus
known, that which resulted in placing one thousand million pounds with the
British public In what has become famous us the British Victory loan.

warfare as an observer, having served

tary attache to the Americjin embassy
in Berlin. At the outbreak of liostil-
tucs he was given considerable free-
dom by the GeruuMi government, and
fpent considerable time at the front

It was on account of the valuable
knowledge guincd during this latter
assignment that he was brought back
to this country several months ago,
promoted from colonel to brigadier
general and placed at the bend of the
War college, where he would be In a
better position to Impart to his fellow officers the knowledge gained of
modern warfare. It Is ihe duty of the War college to collect all data fur-
nished the war department by military observers, attaches and secret service

to work out. The War college also prepares military maps from Information

Decrease in Food Animals.
A careful csiiniate of the world's
food animal position shows a total net
decrease of 11 ."•_• MMM#, and tli s will

our allies, t'onset|uently ibis indus

Our Duty.
la conclusion the food administrator
sa > <:
1 have endeavored to show in prey I
ous articles 11 iiit the world |s short of
food; that Kurope is confronted with
the grim specter of starvation unless
from our abundance and our waste we
keep the wolf from the door, Not only
must we have a proper use of our food
supply in order that we may furnish
our allies with the sinews with which
they may tight our battles, but it is
on act of humanity towards fellow
men. women and children.
l!y the diversion of millions of men
from production to war, by the m < u
pat ion of laud by armies, by the iso
lation of markets, by belligerent fines
and by the destruction of shipping by
submarines; not only has the home pro
duetion of our allies fallen iiy over
.■iimi immi immi bushels of grain, but they
are thrown upon us for it much larger
proportion of their normal Imports for
merly obtained from other markets.
They have reduced consumption ai
every point, but men in tin trenches
melt In the sInij s and the millions of
women placed at physical labor re
quire more food than during peace
times, am! the Incidence of their saying
and any shortage which they may suf
fer. falls flrst upon women and i bit
dreti. If ilii- privation becomes too
great, their people * cannot be main

the consuming power of the world will
he reduced by the loss prosperity
and man power, and we simll enter a
period of competition without parallel
in fermity. After the war. we must
maintain our foreign markets if our
wticking people are tt be employed.
We shall be in no position to compete
if We continue to live on the same
basis of waste and extravagance on
which vvc have lived hitherto. Simple,
temperaie 1 i\ 111^ Is a moral issue of the
lit'st order at any time, and any other
basis of conduct during the war be-
comes a wrong against the Interest of
the country and the interest of
democracy.
The impact of the food shortage of
Kurope lias knocked at every door of
the rutted States during the pa*t three
years. The prices of foodstuffs have
nearly doubled, and the reverberation*
of Kuiopc's increasing shortage would
have 11111tnI• ■ ni| twice lis loudly dur-
ing lb tiling year even luid we not
entered the war. and it can now only
Lie mitigated if we can exert a 'trong
control and this in many directions.
We me today In tin era of high
prices. We must maintain prices at
such a level as will stimulate produc-
tion. for we are faced by a starving
world and the value of a commodity to
the hungry I* greater than it* price.
A* a result of the world shortage of
supplies, our consumers have suffered
from speculation and extortion. While
wages (or some kinds of labor have
increased with rise In food prices,
in others, it litis been difficult to main
tain our high standard of nutrition
