EHCLISH MIN SOLDIER
SERIES III UN lllf
TjONDON, June 15.—Sergeant-Major
Flora Sands, the only Englishwoman
in the Serbian army, is about to re
join her regiment at Salonika. She
had returned to England for a few
weeks’ sick leave, devoting much of
her time to raising money for com
forts for her Serbian comrades by
telling the dramatic story of her mili
tary career.
She went to Serbia in 1914, and after
experiencing the strain of the retreat,
before the German hordes, she was
cut off from her ambulance unit and
at once joined the Serbian regiment
as a private.
For two years she took part in all
the hardest fighting in that desolate
theater of war, often being first over
the top and coming scathless through
fierce hand-to-hand encounters. Then,
in a charge that secured some vital
heights, she was wounded by a hand
grenade explosion.
For her bravery she has received
the highest order that a Serbian sol
dier can win.

The folowing telegraphic statement
from Herbert Hover, United States
food administrator, has been received
by the press for publication.
“Recent press dispatches widely cir
culated through the country have giv
en the wholly false impression that
there is no longer need for rigor
ous conservation of wheat and flour.
The food administration declares that
every aspect of the wheat situation,
both present and prospective, intensi
fies the need for the geratest pos
sible limitation in the American con
sumption of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should
be in the slightest degree relaxed it
would result in serious want for the
people of Europe before the new har
vest can reach the market.
“The food administration’s estimate
of the position on the first of .June
indicates a total supply available until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available for the farms
in country and terminal elevators of
about fifty-six million bushels; of this
thirty million bushels must be ex
ported before new wheat is available
for export if we are to maintain the
absolutely necessary shipments to our
army and the allies. That leaves about
twenty six million bushels for domes
tic •consumption for the next two
months. Normal American consump
tion is something over forty million
bushels a month, so that the most lib
eral consumption at home would be
only one-third of normal.
In addition to the wheat on the
farms and in the elevators there is
always an indeterminate further
amount in transit and in dealerss’
hands, and this can never be reckoned
in with the flour available for use for
export and use at home. As a matter
of fact this stock is not actually avail
able since these supplies must remain
constantly in flow; they remain a per
manent stock, the removal of which
would later cause a period of acute
shortage in distribution before new
wheat would be available.
mere is iurtner inclination to in
clude new crop prospects with pres
ent conditions, which has led to con
fusion. The harvest will not be gener
ally available in flour until middle of
August or early in September, al
though in the extreme south it will
be somewhat earlier.
"At a meeting of the federal food
administration in Washington yester
day, representing all forty-eight states,
it was the unanimous view that even
if the harvest does prove abundant, it
will be the first duty of the American
people to place every grain they can
save into storage as against possible
bad years ahead; in consequence there
should be no anticipation of unlimited
wheat bread until the war is over.
“Some of the most inconvenient re
strictions can no doubt be modified
with the arrival of a large harvest,
but if we are honest with ourselves
we will maintain restrictions requiring
the use of some substitutes, both do
mestic and commercial; we will con
tinue the requirement of high milling
extraction and the elimination of the
non-essential use of and waste in
flour and bread.
“It is worth remembering the fam
ine in Egypt eight thousand years ago
was saved by the late government fore
sight and it does not require any il
luminating dream to anticipate that so
long as the war lasts with its increas
ing drafts for soldiers and munition
workers, the world will steadily pro
duce less food. If we are wise, a
great harvest will mean the willing
building up of great national reserves.”
