Wilcox Department Store CLUB DISCUSSES POSSIBLE SHORTAGE OF FOOD Tho first mootlmr of tho Domosttc Dapartmont on the Twontloth Contury Olub 'was hold at ho lrainte of Mrs. Ot to Thoelecko .Monday Afternoon Tho altornoon's program oponod with tho singing of "Aniorica" by the ontliki club. Tills was fol,owed by a short talk by Mrs. Ralph Smith, do- partmont chairman, outlining the yoar's work and sotting forth tho Im portance of ovory woman In America co-oporatlng with tho food administra tion In their work of conservation. The subject for tho day was "A World's Shortago of Food" and was handled in a vory creditable manner. Mrs. Charlos Bogue read a paper on "Woman's Part iln Winning the War:" sho said In part: "It has f;4.en to the women of America to do a groat part In winning and ending this war. Tho war wV'l bo won by tho nation that can hold out the long est In tho matter of food supply. Tlun tho problem which concerns tho worn- on of this nation most Is the conser vation of food -and tho decreasing of food waste. Worn on must cut off lux uries and think only of necessities. Woman will havo changed conditions and through her labor, courage and un sq'.flsnnoas, Bho will bo a groat factor in winning tho war." Mrs. Harry Cramer sipoko at length on community wastes and concorva tlon in general. Her talk was to the point and very helpful to a'.l who heard her Enrly l'cnco 'ot Anticipated. Washington. United States gov ernment officials are discounting any poacoxtalk and nrf not permitting It to intorforo with plans for entering actlvoly into a European military campaign- They aro further dlsposod to do this, bollevtng that here is no im- modiato chanco of a revolution over throwing tho kaisor. It Is known tnat discontent is strong; that critiolsm Is increasing; that thousands of dormant, aro in fact becoming undeceived; but this sontlniflnt is not yot strong enough to form a foundation for an internal uprising against the throne. Possibly yanothr wintor may add suf ficient to tho stringency that tho mass es will begin to clamor for poaco. but this will l)o on;.y when thoy arc driven to It by actual hunger, bor dering on starvation. As a result Amorlca Is laying plans for two or more yoars of warfare, and 'pushing thoso plans with all possini o speed. Reports from Rhm'ei say thnlt ho pope is waiting lor America to "soe tho light," which moans that ho thinks Germany can not bo "whipped, while Amorlca and tho allies aro convlncul that German dofoat is inevitable.
