WAR RATIONING
|: ALLOWS NO SUGAR
/ FOR GEN> PERSHING

London, July 10 CCorrespondence)
- Major General Pershing, COM
n1arsder of the American expedition
airy force in France. seated for tea
on the beautiful Thames Terrace of
the House of Commons with Colonel
Astor as his host, had an experiences
in Englarfds war ratioping when he
found that he could not have sugar
in his tea and on his strawberries as
well,
"You may have only one portion
OF sugar, two-severths of an ounce:
the waitress informed him with a
quaint air of preciseness, and the
general promptly chose sugarless
strawberries, remarkipg that the sun.
as though anxious to compensate. had
sweetened the Strawberries so well
that sugar was not essential.
In the bounteous times Of peace,
the House of Commons mattresses
used to trip about the Terrace during
the fine July afternoons with big
bowls of white powdered sugar and
lavish jugs of cream. Now the sugar
is strictly rationed, and the amount
Of cream that may be used is limited
to one small measured portion for

LONG PERIOD OF
lUNCERT AlNTY FOR.
THOSE DRAFTED
Only Those Far Back On
List Can Feel Safe for
Present

Washington, July 1S-JehR Jones,
aged II, who Is registered for the SCI
lsctive draft and is anxious to fad out
whether he will have to shoulder a
rifle Or not, Is going to have a long,
long wait.
AS to the exemption list, it is like
the apple core in President Wilson's
favorite Story--there amt going to
be nene.p
The drawing, which may take place
next week, or more likely the week
after, Is going to determine only the
order In which the registered men are
to BIO drawn.
Secretary of War Baker yesterday
threw more light on the draft plans
than has been shed yet. He explained
that, contrary to the general belief,
there will be no drawing, after which
every one registered will know
whether or not he is going to be q
soldier. The drawing will merely de-
eide the numerical order in which the
registered men are to be drafted into
the army. or course, man who dis
covers that his number is the last one
to be dGawn will have a pretty clear
idea that he will never be forced to
don uniform, while man holding
one OF the first numbers will know
pretty well that he is to be chosen,
but theEAswill be some hundreds of
fhousapds, II not millions, of young
pnen who will be kept on the anxious
bench.
It Is now the belief Of the provost
Raarskal generals Office that the num-
ber OF mem who uaaist be drafted is
approximately 6S7 .90a. This will
change from day to day, according to
the strength Of the regular army and
khe NATIONAL Guard, both of which
must be fiiled up by draft before the
EaH9nal army is started.
