Court Holds German Bonds Come
Under Reprisals Order.

London. Dec. 1s.-The first food re-
striction went into force in England to-
day. Hotels and restaurants are now
forbidden TO serve more than two
courses for breakfast or luncheon and
three courses for dinner.
Little inconvenience was experienced
in the first two meals. The English
mans usual breakfast consists of a ce-
real and bacon. eggs or fish. and except
in the more expensive places luaom-
con of two courses is the rule. 1t was
in arranging for a dinner of three
courses that the caterers experienced
the greatest difficulties but even in
this case few are likely to go hungry,
as hors d. oeuvres and soup count only
half a course and for the two other
courses diners have their choice Of
fish, entrees or Sroasrs, with vegetables
and desserts. Cheese with bread and
butter or crackers is not counted as a
,ourse.
The meatless day. which is expected
to follow shortly, will prove more diff
cult for restaurants which make spe-
cialty of roasts.

Sir Samuel Evans, president of the

to small publishers to learn their 1917
needs.

tending it makes them make sacrifices

The Frankfurter zeitung, in another
article on the peace proposals, says: Y,
