youchsafed by the government further
than the statement that the officials are
considering the matter with the atten-

demands.
The Associated Press learns, however.
from a wel-informed source that no ac-
ton will be taken until after an eX-
change Of views with Denmark and Nor

Newspaper utterances following the
proclamation of the present submarine
blockade have been much milder than
was the case two years ago.
King Gustave returns Monday from Co.

Christian on Saturday. The visit was
arranged before the submarine blockade
was known. but it will now undoubtedly
be devoted to discussion of the meas

TO SAVE BREAD

London, Feb. The food ministry. has

gar to three-quarters of pound weekly

The food controller says that after
consideration Of available stocks and the
probable need Of future supplies the SIT

sumption to this basis. He adds that
these items will naturally be supplement.
ed by other food products.
only thus the controller adds, "can

Ut no delay in informing the country
what is demanded of it. Compulsory ra-
ticning involves elaborate machinery and
ought to be avoided as long as possible
Meanwhile to meet the contingency that

needful machinery for it is being organ
lied so that it may be ready If needed.
