Potatoes.

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald
Copenhagen. via London. June 20
In the last three weeks no extra pO-
tatoes have been available in Ger
many for workmen engaged in heavy
la bor. The women in Berlin sub
urb rioted at the announcement that
there were no potatoes. Several hun
dred broke into the office of the VIII
lage president and terroriZed him into
action.
The American controversy over the
use of benzoate of soda is recalled
BY the recommendation of the German
tCod department that this preservative
De used instead of sugar in putting
up fruit, fruit juices and marmalade.
the amount Of sugar allotted for pre-
serving purposes is so small per per-
son that the department advises its
use only with the most ripe and the
naturally sweetest fruits.
AS occurred last year, fruits have
largely disappeared from the open
market as soon as the authorities at
tempted to regulate the prices and
are almost unobtainable in Berlin.
Ihe potato situation, bad though II
Is IN Berlin, Hamburg and other lead
ing cities. is far worse in localities
less well advertised and with a more
tractable population. Leipzig, for ex-
ample, issues this week one pound OF
potatoes and a pound of bread, in
stead OF five pounds of potatoes.

FOR ENTERING WAR
Baron Moncheur Says Belgium Now
Has Renewed Confidence.

The entry of the United States
INTO the war not only brings to us the
satisfaction of finding in an old
friend a new ally but fires us with
complete confidence in an early and
victorious issue of the great struggle
which has brought my country so
much misery and suffering
This was the declaration Of Baron
AOncheur, head of the Belgian mis-
sion, yesterday. Baron Moncheur also
paid high tribute to Herbert C. Hoov-
er. slated for the post Of food admin
perhaps his ability in handling the
food situation would turn the balance
between defeat and victory"
Accompanied by officials of the
State Department, Baron MOnCheur
and other members OF the mission in
spected the officers reserve camp at
Fort Myer. where the men who will
endeavor to drive the invaders from
Belgian soil passed in review.
After expressing gratitude for the
decision of the United States to enter
the war. Baron Moncheur said in
part:
Our admiration for your decision in
entering the war is all the greater be-
cause we know that you did so in
full knowledge of all its horrors and
realized fully the sacrifices you will
be called upon to make, the tears that
will flow, the inevitable heartaches
and sorrow that will darken your
homes. All these things have been
weighed and considered. Despite them
you have thrown in your lot with us.
This shows us as nothing else could
the determination of your country
to see that when peace comes It shall
be an honest peace, one that can last
and one that will bring freedom and
happiness. to all nations"

Committee Starts
FOOD inquiry HERE
Investigators Find that Very Little
Bread Is Wasted in Washington.

A thorough investigation Of every
phase of the POLLEN of providing
an adequate supply Of food in Wash
tngton during the war will be under
taken by the local food committee Of
the Council Of National Defense, Of
At the request of Herbert C. Hoover,
food administrator. a subcommittee
yesterday began the formulation Of
plans for conserving the food sup
plies of the city. This committee con-
sists of Mr.. Nesbit, William B. King,
w. G. Carter and II. c. Graham.
As a result OF its consideration Of
the bread and bakery question yes
terday, the committee found that al
though conditions are different in
other cities, in Washington very little
bread Is wasted. Very little bread is
returned to the bakeries by distribu-
tors. and when 1t is returned, ar
human consumption. The committee
found that in other cities bread re-
turned Is often used to feed chickens.
Asked last night just what sort of
program the committee had in mind
for the preventing OF waste, Mr.. King
that would be done would be to enlist
the aid of Washington housekeepers.
Housewives will be asked to regis
ter and pledge their aid along the
lines which have been outlined by Mr..
Hoover. Just what agency will be
used in registering them has not been
decided. but in all probability 1t will
be through existing women's organiza-
tions, he said.
. II this is not practicable. the reg
istration will be effected through the
District Commissioners or the local
food committee. Mr.. Hoover has
pointed out that If each housekeeper
would make II point to save 2 cents
on meal and waste as little as pos
sible. it would release. great Quantl-
ties of food for our allies.
The question of keeping market gar
depers and others informed upon the
conditions of the local market with re-
speCt to the daily needs of the city
will also be taken Ip by the commit
tee. In this connection, II is pointed
out, that "gluts" in the long run are
disastrous to consumers and pro-
duCers alike. Farmers will be aided in
securing a market for their perish
able produce. and housekeepers will
be urged to use vegetables as much as
possible so as to release staples, such
as beans, corn and wheat, for our al
lies.
Transportation facilities and sources
of supply will be carefully studied, so
as to secure an even distribution of
food products. With the aid of the
Department of Agriculture. demon
Strations in the canning and preserva-
ton of fruits and vegetables while
they are plentiful will be encouraged.

Deestroyers Pick Up Victims of
German U-Boats.

The Base of the American FIotilla in
British Waters, June 20-Two Ameri-
can destroyers have returned here
with eighty survivors of two torpe-
doed British ships. The ships were
sunk at the farthest point westward
in-the Atlantic the U-boats have ap-
peared since the ruthless campaign
began, and the response of the Ameri-
