England's Food
Is Assured for
Year, Says Jones
Supply Sufficient Even if
Shipping Losses Continue,
Asserts Retiring Director

London, July 21.-Kennedy Jones,
retiring director general Of food econ
omy, declared to-day that England's
food supply for the year was assured
even II the present rate Of shipping
losses were maintained.
an March he said, "the shortage
Of tonnage, the partial failure OF the
worlds wheat crop and the submarine
depredations combined for disaster.
The situation was serious. We had
nine weeks supplies Of breadstuffs.
To-day, through the voluntary CO.
operation Of the people, IT is certain
we will be able to start the new cereal
year with nearly seven months stocks,
which, together with the enormous
potato crop coming into the market,
will make next years situation a mere
question of whether in twelve months
we will be able TO import five months
supplies. Even IL the sinkings con-
tinued at the present rate this should
not be difficult, because OF the new
tonnage which will become available
next month here and in America"
Mr.. Jones, after reviewing the effect
of the measures taken in the eat
less bread" campaign in the United
Kingdom, remarked that no doubt the
Germans had tried their hardest 70
create conditions which by this time
would prevent England going on with
the war, but that they had been unable
to do so.
"The problem Of March was one OF
supplies" he continued. Tho problem
now ia merely that Of prices and dis
tribution. | believe the economy
taught the people will be permanent.
There will be no waste IN the future
as there was before the campaign, am
there will be intelligent appreciation
Of the value Of foodstuffs among the
working classes and the lower and the
middle classes Compulsory rationins
has been made unnecessary by the
patriotism and the cooperation Of the
people. The stocks on hand now ere
larger than any one even elk weeks
ago dared to anticipate.
Mr.. Jones Is referred 20 In press
comment as having accomplished ore
Of the hardest tasks of the war IN
changing the habits Of the country 30
as TO make IL economise in food"
W. A. VI. Goode, former honorary
secretary TO the Belgian Relief Com
mission under Herbert c. Hoover. has
been suggested by Mr.. Jones as bis
successor 20 carry out the campaign
now In operation.

the saying, The voice OF the people is
the voice of God'-not the mob, not
the press, not the honorable public,
not even the Socialists-the people, the
real Russian people, demand categori-
cally peace, and will not keep still
until they have attained this peace.
Says Japan Wants California
They know there (at Petrograd)
that Japan does not want the Siberian
icefelds nor the nearly worthless hsr-
Dor Of Vladivostok Japan needs her
soldiers for more precious prey. The
California grain, the California vine
yards and orange trees are more worth
the noble japanese blood.
ALSO, we believe that Wilson's note
will not find undivided recognition OF
the Italian and French peoples. As re-
CARDS the Italian people, We know tina.
they practically cry for peace, and that
the failure Of the tenth battle OF the
Isonzo has made a depressing impre1-
sion on the country (Itsly).

lish; indeed, he Is even violently angry

situation by modifying its war aims 70

Chamber Of Deputies strong vote Of

American war-that Is, significantly
called Wilson'S war by the neutral

"Who in the light Of to-day reports

question is lees the characterization OF
Germany than the destruction OF the
German Empire, its dissolution, which
is intended. The German En-
pire as such Is based on a moderately
republican form Of government"
And. Of course-the reader is expect
ed TO draw this conclusion-the United
States should help 70 save this mod
crately republican form" of German
government against the terrible plans
Of the other Allies. Perhaps the
"Allgemetne Schweizer Zeitung' would
approve an American-Germsn alliance.

Announcement that authorization Of

thought the conference the secretary
sought with Mr.. Kitchin was for the pur-
pose of discussing raising possibly an
additional $1,000, oo,oo0 or $4,000, 600 for
emergency domestic needs. They planned
to authorize it, go home and raise the

cost this fiscal year at the next session.

or automobile drivers that the law re-
garding the glarnc electric headlights
goes into effect Wednesday night and
that any man driving a car which has
not its lights properly covered will be
liable to arrest and fine 1t is the in
tention of the officers to enforce the
law promptly. as they can see no good
reason why il should not be obeyed
There are plenty of the lenses to be
mad and the law also makes it posi-
bic for man to fix his own car in a
few minutes by coating the upper half
with white paint or Bon Ami. A
large number Of cars were on the
streets cue sday night without their
lights in proper condition and it seem
ed to the officers that unless there was
a great hurrying to get under COW
or Wednesday that there would un-
douhtedly be some arrests at night.
