...problem was most acute in small towns near military posts. Local health services were often impoverished, lackadaisical; so were local police, with whom Army police must cooperate. At two extremes were respectable, aseptic Battle Creek, Mich, ("the cereal city") and dreary Phenix City, Ala. Prompted by the wealthy First Congregational Church's outspoken, realistic Rev. Carleton Brooks Miller, Battle Creek officials decided to establish segregated, supervised zones for prostitutes who swarmed in after the 20,000 soldiers at nearby Camp Custer.

Undemocratic, a brotherhood of fear, it represented the antithesis of what the democracies hope will emerge from the war, and had in it the seeds of defeat for the Allies.

The great cereal bowl of the Danube sends Germany in peacetime some 50% of its produce, and though blockade and winter have so far hampered movement, the German demand has greatly increased since war began. Almost exclusively agricultural, the Balkans depend in turn on Germany for industrial goods. Every Balkan nation lives in fear...
...feeding herself, France, too, has fallen off since 1914. While her population went from 39,600,000 to 42,000,000, her cereal production went from 31,000,000 acres to 22,500,000, for example. Last week France's 5,500,000 farmers and farm laborers were ordered to stay on the land, keep out of cities, work...
