London, Dec. 19.-The first food re-
strictions went into force in England
today. 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 connection with the first two meGe.s.
The Englishman's usual breakfast con
sists of a cereal and bacon, eggs or
fish, and except in the more expensive
places the luncheon of two courses is
the rule. 1t was in arranging for u din
ner Of three courses that the caterers
experienced the greatest difficulty, but
even in this case. few are likely to go
hungry, as hors oeuvreS and soup
oun only half a course, and for the.
two other courses, diners have the
choice of fish entries or roasts, with veg
etables, and deserts. Cheese with bread
and butter or crackers is not counted
as a course.

to follow shortly will prove Il diff

URGE PUBLISHERS
TO CUT ON PAPER
Larger Newspapers Asked to
Reduce Contracts Five Per
Cent In 1917 to Re-
Iieve Shortage.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Efforts to find
relief for the news print paper short
age and prevailing high prices were
continued here today by the federal
trade commission in conference with
committees of newspaper publishers,
news print manufacturers and paper
jobbers. A plan that was discussed
proposed that publishers of the larger
newspapers reduce their purchases next
year by 5 per cent, SO the smaller pa
pers may receive more of the supply
Messages were sent today to large
publishers to ascertain if they will sub
scribe to this plan, relinquishing 5 per
cent of their 1917 contracted supply to
small publishers, and to learn their
1917 needs. AT the same time, the man
ufacturers' committee was trying to
learn the a amount of paper stock
on hand in the United States ard the
amount that would be manufactured
for next years
The larger publishers are not well
satisfied with the plan proposed, cons
tending it forces them TO make sacri-
fees to supply the small publishers,
when the manufacturers could solve the
whole problem readily by diverting to
news print manufacture paper making
machines now working on wrapping
