LONDON, Nov. 2S.-walter Runclman.
President OF the Board OF Trade. dis
cussed the need OF economy in food con-
sumption with . deputation OF repre-
sentatives Of the leading London hotels.
Afterward he conferred with representa-
lives Of the principal manufacturing on
fectioners upon the consumption OF
sugar.
About thirty were present at the hotel
conference. including Reeves Smith. man
aging director Of the Savoy: Cavalier
Casali Of the Piccadllly. Mr.. Fredericks
Of the Hotel Victoria, Mr.. Towle OF the
Midland and Sir Joseph Lyons.
Mr.. Runciman defined the attitude Of
the Government In unmistakable terms.
, He said he had seen the Christmas bill
Of fare which had been sent to the
patrons OF one establishment. Such a
menu. In his opinion. was wasteful and
e%xtrava3ant ever in peace time. but
with the nation and jts alliea at war II
bordered upon The scandalous. Such n
state Of affairs could not be allowed 10
continue. The catering trade must SET
its house in order. Menus must he cut
down drastically and there must be one
or Two meatless days a week.
One member Of the deputation pointed
out that fish would be more costly thar
meat. Mr.. Runciman replied that there
might be days in which "meatlees'' should
mean neither FISH nor meat. There mus,
be a decrease in the amount Of i'm
ported foods and a marked cutting
down OF the consumption. The freight
and shipping difficulties were no. likely
TO become less.
The representative OF a Arm OF popu
lar caterers who specialize in tea shop.
asked whether they were not exempted
Mr.. Runciman replied that they certainly
were not exempted.

The Britannia was the largest vessel
Of the White Star feet afoat. Built In
1914 at Belfast, she was $50 feet In
length. % feet beam and 80 feet depth.
Her length was somewhat less han that
Of the White Star liner Olympic. which
measured Ss8Is feet. but the Britannia
had the greater tonnage. the Olympic's
being $500 tons. rs compared with tho
Britannic's 47,5o0.
She was the largest hospital ship In
commission. with an equipment of 5000
beds. Last June, however. II was re-
ported In a news despatch from Liver
pool that tho Britannia had been re-
turned TO the White Star Line for
restoration into a passenger steamer.
At various times since the war started
she has been reported as being seen by
returning travellers. always clearly de-
fined as a hospital ship with the usual
red band running round her huh and
the red hospital cross flying from her
mssts.
Her commander. Capt. G. A. Bartlett,
was formerly In charge OF the Cedric

In view OF the fact that tho Britannia
was double hulled throughout, marine
engineers secuted the report that a mine

Rumors circulated last night that
Great Britain would hereafter be able
to make all her wi arms and ammuni-
ton and aid France and was therefore
cancelling American contracts as rapidly
as It could were denied on the high
est authority.
The only contracts which have been
a~brogated have been in cases where the
plants undertaking the work could not
turn out the product either rapidly
enough or In satisfactory form. These
contracts have been placed elsewhere.
England IL In the market for every
pound of ammunition and war stores of

EAST SIDE MOURNS.
Pail IL Thrown Over 0alieiaA anl
Hungaptan DistPists.

Hungarian O10tP10to.
A large part Of the lower East Side
was In mourning yesterday. News OF
the death Of Emperor Francis Joseph
threw q pail over the Galician and Hun
sarian districts and many Of the small
shops were closed all day.
Rivington street, from Norfolk to Can
non, the principal residential and BUSH
ness quarter Of the Galicians, and Hous-
ton street and Second avenue. where
Hungarians abound. were thronged last
night. but the crowd was silent
downcast. Little children huddled on
the doorsteps with their mothers. who
with bowed heads told them In the IA
tive tongue that they had lost . sincere
friend In the passing Of the aged SOW
ereign.
Save for the changing Of the street car
gonEs the only sounds heard above the
customary tramp On the sidewalks were
the voices Of hawkers who. seemingly
from nowhere, had produced an amazing
number of photographic portraits Of the
late Emperor. Many Of those were bor-
dered in lines OF deep black. The pic
lures were sold for a nickel or n dime
and the dealers reaped q rich harvest.
Before midnight pictures appeared In the
front windows OF scores OF houses and
many more will be displayed In shops
this morning.
The Little Hungary Restaurant pre-
scented a unique appearance. II had SOL
dom seen such q large crowd. save on
gala nights. but the assemblase was not
on pleasure bent. Glasses were raised
constantly. but the VINE and beer were
drunk In memory of the ruler who had
gone. The customary cabaret programme
was abandoned and nobody thought Of
dancing. Even Rlgo and his violin
failed TO win applause. for the only music
played by the orchestra was tho national
anthem n the more doleful dlrgss.
The Austrian hymn had lost favor
since the start Of the present war be-
cause II was cast to tho tune OF Britain's
"God Save the KING but II was played
over and over again last night because
the words seemed peculiarly appropriate
TO the occasion. 1t was to Francis Jo-
