Since Americans are asked to con
serve wheat and use corn in order to
furnish the allies with wheat, the ques
tion naturally arises why cannot Eur
opean countries eat corn meal bread
as well as Americans. This is ex
plained in a statement sent Federal
Food Administrator Royal A Gunnison, |
for Alaska, by Herbert Hoover, asj
follows:
Why don’t we ship corn to Eur
ope and eat wheat in America?
The United States food administra
tion has been answering that question
for the past six months.
In the first place the question im
plies an untruth—we are shipping corn'
to Europe. We are shipping just as
much as those people over there are
prepared to utilize. |
Outside of Italy there afe few mills'
in Europe prepared to grind corn. (
People in Europe are not familiar!
with corn. Not only are they not pre
pared to grind it, but the people in the
homes do not know how to use it. It
would take months and months to
teach them. It is far simpler and far
quicker to send them wheat than to
undertake an educational campaign
that would acquaint them with corn
usage.
All of the European countries are
using corn to the greatest extent of
their power. In none of the allied
lands can all-wheat bread be baked.
An admixture of at least 20 per cent
is being required in all of them. In
some, this admixture may go as high
as 50 per cent. Practically all of the
bread consumed in Europe is made in
commercial bakeries. Corn bread is
not considered at its best except when
fresh. It would be almost impossible
to supply individual consumers witn
fresh corn bread from commercial ba
keries, and the housewufe in Europe ia
not prepared to bake it at home.
These are only a few of the reas
ons why American should consume
more corn. One of the others—and
the most Important one—is that corn
is one of the most nutritious, palat
able, foods in this country. Its uses
are almost countless. It is as good
for breakfast as it is for lunch; as
good for lunch as it is for supper; as
good for supper as it is for dinner.
We could multiply by many times the
amount of corn we normally consume
and still be healthier and stronger
:han we are today—and we would have
helped relieve the food strain under
which Europe is striving to send our
first line of defense across the Ger
man border.

(By Associated Press)
I* REN( H FRONT, Jan. 31.—General
Ludendorff regarded by the entente
allies as the master-mind of the Ger
man army, pays an unintentional com
pliment to the accuracy of French ar
tillerymen in a memorandum issued
to the troops on October 4, which has
just been made available to the cor
respondent of The Associated Press.
In this document he admits that
the French gunners by their counter-'
battery fire destroyed in one German!
army alone in the course of a month
eighty-three German field-guns and
seventy-two heavy cannon, while they
seriously damaged and put out of
action also 282 field-guns and 213
heavy cannon, as well as ninety-one
field-guns and fifty-nine heavy cannon
slightly injured but capable of being
repaired and used again in a short
time.
To these imposing figures of ar
tillery losses caused by the French
gunners the same German army in the
same period of time had the mortifi
cation of adding an almost equally
large number of losses brought about
by the wearing out or bursting of guns.
In this way seventy-three field-guns
and twenty-one heavy cannon were
destroyed; 164 field-guns and 129
heavy guns seriously damaged and 177
field-guns and ninety-one heavy guns
slightly disabled.
The memorandum was issued to the
German army bv General Ludendorff
because his artillery officers had ar
gued repeatedly in favor of making
counter-battery work secondary to at
tacks on infantry and communications.
They asserted the French artillery di
rected their guns more generally
against the German infantry than
against the artillery batteries. The
figures collated by the German gener- ,
al demonstrate the falsity of this ar
gument and show the French deter
mination to prevent the German guns, ,
as far as possible, from being used
against the French infantry and lines
of communication and supply and
that they do this successfully.
General Ludendorff in concluding
his memorandum points out that by
counter-battery work not only is the
enemy’s artillery destroyed or put out
of action, but the opponent is forced
to a considerable extent to turn his at
tention away from the doings of the
enemy’s infantry which is thus able
to manoeuvre with greater ease. ,

“WAR PIG’’ FAVORED
IN ALBUQUERQUE
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Jan. 31 —
City ordinances which from early days
have prohibted the keeping of live-'
stock inside the city limits, except un-j
der special license, and then only in(
the case of draft animals or dairy
cows, may be abrogated soon in favor
of the “war pig.” A war pig accord-;
ing to the city officials, is a pig’
raised or fattened on table scraps,
kept to aid in winning the war by
increasing the food supply.
City authorities are investigating
the question of permitting “war pig-1
geries.” The state food administra-1
tor, Ralph C. Ely, brought the matter
to their attention.
