London. May 26.-Lord Beresford
in the course of a spirited speech at
the Savoy hotel, touching upon the
presence of Germans in England,
thoughtlessly took a plate from the
table. Casually he glanced at it's back
as he spoke. He stopped for a mo-
rnent. looked closer, contracting his
trows in evident mixture of doubt and
scorn The words that stared at him
from the plate:
Made in Germany
There followed a vehement TRADE
from the former first lord of the ad-
lniralty. He said frankly if he had
known he had been eating from a
plate made in Germany he would not
have enjoyed his dinner. Some of the
guests seized the plates in front OF
them and in a violent rage hurled
them to the floor. The party was de-
cidedly spoiled.

FOOD
Britain's Experience for Con-
troll Plan in Z. S.
Spudless and Meatless Days and
Ban on All Luxuries.

Washington, May 26.-Food regula-
lions of the allies, which probab bly,
will furnish the basis for somewhat
similar rules in the United States, are
being assembled by the government
American regulations probably will
be less stringent, but this is not de-
terring Herbert c. Hoover, selected
for food administrator, and other Of
ficials, from giving careful study to
the codes of other warning nations
Here are some of the more striking
British regulations:
For public meals the allowance of
meat is based on an average of five
ounces for each luncheon and dinner,
and two ounces for each breakfast
served on non-meatless days.
Tuesdays are meatless days in Lon
don and Wednesdays elsewhere in the
kingdom.
Potatoes must not be served except
on meatless days and Fridays
The making of any light fancy
pastries, mullins, crumpets. fancy tea
cakes and other light articles of food
is prohibited.
No ornamental cake or bun may be
made.
Not Allowed to Hoard Food.
Sale of bread, unless twelve hours
old, is prohibited.
All bread must be sold by weight
and all loaves must be one pound or
an even number of pounds
F1tteen per cent of the sugar is al
lowed in cakes and biscuits; 10 per
cent In orns. No sugar may be used
| in scenes.
NO person shall acquire supplies of
FOOD beyond the needs of his ordinary
consumption. The food controller
may order the inspection of premises
IN which Re has reason to believe that
boarding is taking place
NO wheat, rye, rice. Or tapioca may
} be used except for human foods
The output of beer is limited to the
rate of 100000 barrels per annum,
as compared with 3G,00O,0OO barrels
before the war.
/ Penalty for violation of any rule is
! SIX months imprisonment or 100
pounds fine, or both.

TO WORK HOLIDAY HE CARRIED GERMS
German Agent Had Bacilli of
Deadly Diseases.
Also Amazing Collection of
Bombs in Possession.

Christiania, May 26.-An amazing
collection of bombs, poisons, bacilli of
deadly diseases and other means of
death and destruction has been seized
by the authorities here as part of the
baggage of Baron Won Rosen. a Swed-
ish nobleman and alleged to be a
German agent. He was arrested, but,
as he could not be convicted of violat-
ing any Norwegian law he was re-
leased with a warning to leave the
country.
Baron Won Rosen's field of opera
tons was along the Swedish-Finnish
border. His purpose is supposed to
have been the destruction of Russian
food and munition warehouses but
what success he had is not known.
When he fed from Sweden last jan
uary part of his baggage was seized
by the Swedish authorities and found
to contain a large quantity of high
explosives packed in tin cans, marked
corn beef" Among the articles found
were cans of explosives marked table
SALT bottles marked mouth wash
containing cultures of dangerous ba-
cilli identified by the state health lab
oratory; boxes of lump sugar, each
lump containing glass vial filled with
bacilli of anthrax or CHAMBERS and a
number of explosive pencils.
This latter article is an ingenious
internal machine and new depart
ure in frightfulness as far as the au-
thorities here are aware. 1t has the
appearance of an ordinary pencil but
if sharpened a drop of acid concealed
in a thin glass tube is released and
acting on other concealed chemicals
causes an explosion sufficient to MAIN
or perhaps kill the sharpener.

BIG spy HUNT ON
How Did Germany Learn Q. S.
FIOtilla Coming!
Got Word 4 Days in Advance
and Mined HarbOr.

Washington, May 26.-What is per-
haps the greatest spy hunt the gov
eminent has instituted since the Civil
war. is on here today.
Every secret investigating agency
of the government is engaged in the
ferreting out of the men-or women
who tipped" to Germany the news
that the American torpedo destroyer
fIotilla had left American shores for
Europe in time for the German sub
marines to mine the port of arrival.
Careful censorship is imposed at
coast cable offices and at Mexican
border telegraph points. but despite
this, the Germans had the news four
days before the fleet arrived.
Hidden wireless in this country or
Mexico, however, may have been the
means of communication. Reports
still persist that the government has
been unable to weed out all Illicit
wireless stations.
1t is entirely possible also that a
German agent crossed into Mexico
with his valuable information and
sent it from there, or perhaps may
have communicated it thru some 9TH
er transmission base in Central or
South America.
The spy story may be used as a rea-
son for censorship law, but some Of
ficials admitted today that both the
Germans and British knew the fleet
story before the American public was
taken into the secret.
Newspaper men knew the story in
confidence in advance. but there was
not single instance of violation of
the voluntary censorship regulations
on it.

MANY FAKE RUM0RS
Unknown Persons Have Reported
Every Ship in Navy Sunk.

Washington, May 26.-That an or
ganized campaign by unknown per-
sons is under way with the object of
spreading false reports concerning the
sinking of American warships, has
been charged by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels. For days the navy de-
partment has been swamped with re-
quests for information concerning the
sinking of warships. Practically every
vessel in the navy has been reported
sunk within the last six weeks Even
the United States ship Tennessee was
recently reported sunk. The old Ten
dered off the San Dominican coast
n.ore than six months ago. The new
superdreadnaught Tennessee had not
even been laid at the time.
Secretary Daniels has issued the
following statement:
1T is with deep regret that I note
the daily stream of false reports with
regard to the sinking Of American
ships. Brokerage wires are a partic-
ular source for these baseless rumors,
that can not but be the cause of need
less distress to every true American as
we'll as to the mothers and daughters
CT the nation who have sons at sea.
1.-THE department has given repeat
ed assurance that it's policy is to be
one of absolute frankness with respect
are sunk. full information will be Civ
en- out officially and quickly.
THE reason for these false reports
can not be ascertained. The one hope
is that the press will refuse to aid
this campaign of vicious rumor that is
being carried on so industriously by
persons unknown
