FLOUR CHEAPER THAN
MEAT AND VEGETABLES

INDIANAPOLIS. June 22.-Flour
at 10 cents a pound is cheap COM
pared with meats and vegetables, DR..
II. +. Barnard, state food and drug
commissioner, said Thursday in a
statement issued on general -four
prices He said:
"In the desire to economic the
housewives may cut down the use
Of bread because the size Of the loaf
is decreasing and the cost increas-
ing constantly. This is unfortunate.
Bread is our best food. In the diet
of most people il is the largest sin
gle item. Today -four sells at about
the same price as sugar and the flour
bills seem appallingly large to those
who for years have purchased -four
at three cents a pound. But even
at 10 cents a pound -four is cheap
food when compared with meat and
vegetables. If any attempt TO prac-
tice economy by using less -four or
eating less bread cOmpels the pur-
chase Of more meat or vegeta bles,
the expense for food is increased
rather than diminished and the fam
lily may be fed less successfully"

ORIENTAL RESIDENTS
 HAWAII WANT ID FIGHT

i, Press reports received here since reg istration day indicate that Japanese are to be allowed to enlist.
 Many of the Japanese who regis tered not only refused to claim ex- emption but declared that they wanted to join the army. But, of the citl- zen registrants, many with one ac- cord began to make excuses.
 A noteworthy fact in connection with the registration, that on Sunday, July 29, preceding the registration, hundreds of citizens and Filiplnos en- listed in the national guard, it having been announced that guardsmen need not register and it being further un- derstood that the national guard of the islands would not be called out for active service, because of the fact that the sugar planters had made repre- sentatlon to Washington that the na- tional guard is needed at home to guard the sugar cane crop.
 Since the recent discharge of all married men from the national guard of the islands, the guard consists chiefly of this skeleton of white off cers with slender covering Of Fili- pino privates together with com paratively small number of native Hawaiians. In view of the fact that it is believed there is no chance of the guard being called into active ser vice a considerable number of young white men who want to join the na- tional army have left or are leaving for the mainland to enlist, declaring that they have no intention of re- maining in the islands to guard crops of growing cane

 . HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 4-(By MaiD resident in Hawaii are eager to join the national army while the majority of white men eli gibles for draft as demonstrated by the registration taken here last Tuesday are equally eager to avoid service.
 Such is the general result of an analysist of the registration figures as unofficially reported by the registra- ton board. No official report has yet been made.
 The outstanding feature of the reg istration figures, however, is that of the 25,970 who registered, there were considerably more than twice as many Orientals, most of them Japanese as there were white men of all white -nationalties. The number of citizens registered was 7,94O, whereas 1S,OSO aliens registered. This demonstrates fairly well the proportions of citizen
  Also it emphatically disproves the statement that has been made public here and on the mainland that Hawai- through her national guard has al- ready contributed considerably more than her quota toward national de- fense.
 Of those who registered more than fifty per cent of the citizens claimed exemption. Of the Orientals, very few claimed exemption. This is partly to be accounted for by the fact that at the time of registration it was general ly understood that Orientals not citi- Zens not only could not be drafted but could not volunteer.

Special Correspondence A. p.

Special Correspondence A. p.
 LONDON Admission that the treatment of German war prisoners in Great Britain was superior to the treatment received in any other coun- try was made by the chief German delegate to the recent confluence of British and Germans on war prisoners, according to statement made by Baron Newton, one of the British dele gates, in the house of commons.
 Virtually, no complaint was made of the British methods of dealing with war prisoners, Lord Newton added.
 One impression he drived from his intercourse with the delegates was that, in spite of the German powers of centralization, Berlin headquarters did not know a great deal of what went on. That impression, he said, more or less confirmed what James w. Gerard, the late American ann DtSS'iuOI aJ btIllIl, uScu tO tell lllIIl, that there was less centralization than was supposed and that the control at Berlin over prisoners of war was nothing like so effective as in this country. He had a strong suspicion that a great deal went on in various German camps of which the central German administration knew little.
 As they had twenty times as many prisoners as the British had, 1t would be surprising, he said, if they did know all that went on.
