CORN WILL WIN
DEMOCRACY'S WAR
America's Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATION'S CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United State#
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.
America’s great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,000,00(1,000 bushels, will save the
world’s food situation, oflicials of the
United States food administration be
lieve.
Corn is the nation’s best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
It contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state of health and
wh6n used according to tlie scores of
tried recipes, especially when com
uiiieu wiui an uuut'u pm nun ui uu ui
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the'corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nation’s surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn lias become the nation’s main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nation’s battle witli autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent, corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in t he same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread—using corn meal entire
ly—is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives arc
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
granulated sugar Is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. It comes from the germ of
the corn.
MADE-INGERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED IN CANADA
Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germauy lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac
cording to an official statement re
ceived from the Canadian food con
troller by the United States food ad
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same geaeral character as those
the United States food administra
tor recently denounced in this coun
try, such ns the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives’ stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
“Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast,” said the Canadian statement,
“Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
“They are Insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by hit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
"It lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to co-operate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority of
people yet realize.”
THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAY8t
There ie no royal road to food
eoneervation. Wa can only ac
eomplieh this by the voluntary
action of our whole people, each
element in proportion to its means.
It Is a matter of equality of bur
den; a matter of minute saving
and substitution at every point in

•00.000 dinner tables, and In the

German Attempts to Force Flemish
Language on Belgians Is Failure
Associated Press Dispatch.
Amsterdam, Jan. 23.—After more
than three years of efforts the Ger
man authorities in Belgium have to
admit the failure of their attempt to
drive a wedge between the two races
and languages in Belgium. The un
ity of Belgium still exists, and there
are signs that the Germans have
given up, at least for the time being,
their attempt to break it up.
The authority for this statement is i
the German propagandist weekly in
Holland, the Toekomst, which states
that the present policy of the gov-,
ernor general in Brussels is “more
moderate,” and that “Berlin ap
proves this policy as a means of
gaining peace.” The article con
cludes by advising the advocates of
the former German policy to “steer
a middle course and give up their
flourishes of rhetoric.”
The attempts of the Germans to
force the Flemish language on Brus
sels and Antwerp are declared to
have completely failed and the gov
ernment has had to confess itself
beaten. The supporters of the Ger
man scheme among the Belgium pop
ulation are known as “Activists,” and
are very unpopular among the major
ity of their fellow citizens. An
“Activitists’ demonstration” was ar
ranged in Brussels recently and was
much exploited in the German press
at the time. But according to the
Echo Beige, the demonstration was a
fiasco.
“Instead of 3,000, the audience was
only 1,000,” says the newspaper.
“Moreover, one-third of these were
Dutch and another third Germans,
partly in uniform. The procession to
the market-place was attacked as
soon as noticed by the crowd, not
withstanding the protection of the
local police. Next time there may be |
a riot. Now the Activitists are be- j
ginning to divide into Maximalists
and Minimalists and are becoming
very difficult for their German boss
es to handle.”
Italians Think American Aviators
in Sunny Italy Cannot Be Killed
Associated Press Dispatch
American Aviation Training Camp,
Southern Italy, Jan. 23.—“You can’t
kill an American,” is the dictum of
the Italian officers training the sev
eral hundred young aviators who
have been flying here since the end
of September, when, by arrangement
with the Italian government, this
camp was established.
The Americans have such a repu
tation for luck that Italian soldiers
come here so they may touch one of
the aviators. “It brings us good
luck, too,” they explain.
The Americans fly from morning
until night virtually every day. Not
a single one has been killed and but
three have been injured at all se
riously. One of the latter, on his
third trip alone, got into an air sit
uation which he did not understand,
with the result that he stopped his
motor, whereupon the machine be
gan to plunge downwards until its
fall was checked by the telegraph
wires of the railway station of the
nearby city. Thence the machine
dropped to the ground and was
smashed. The aviator was picked up
for dead, but in five days he was
ready for another fly.
Tne prize story of the camp con
cerns Harry Harris, of California,
who got lost, first in the clouds, and
then in Central Italy. He was a
couple of hours going away and a
whole week coming back to camp.
As he afterwards explained, he went
up for an altitude and when he got,
above the clouds he was unable to I
discover whether he was flying up
side down or right side up, or wheth
er the earth was above or below him.
Finally, after gazing a few moun
tain tops of the Appennines, he light
ed in the center of the village square,
begging for something to eat. As he
couldn’t speak Italian, his explana
tion that he was “Americano” didn’t
satisfy the local police, who had
never heard of American aviators in
Italy but had heard a lot about those
of Austria who have the unpleasant
habit of dropping bombs on coast
towns along the Adriatic.
However, he was fed and started
campwards, after a couple of days,
_
■ ■ in IT —
detention. He has flown marly'*
hundred and fifty miles away ffym
camp, and when he got back there, ha
was accused of having been on a psfb
to some sweetheart.
