By KENNEDY JONES,
Director-General of Food Economy in
Great Britain

Dlrect0r-GeneraI OF iOOd Economy III
Great Britain
London. May l4.-What are we do
ing?
In a nutshell we are hoping for the
best, but preparing for the worst.
If things take turn for the better
we shall not be compelled to put any
one in the United Kingdom on bread
rations, except perhaps our race horses.
By turn for the better | mean re-
duction in the present rate Of the sink
ing of Allied food ships and a sub
stantial dmnuton in consumption of
bread, due to voluntary self-sacrifce.
But if the German submarines can con-
tinue, even temporarily. their present
luck. we cannot. afford to take any
chances.
However much We believe IN the will
ingness of the vast majority of our
own people voluntarily to deprive
themselves, and we already have a
splendid proof of this spirit, no food
ministry would be justified in leaving
TO individual effort the solution of the
bread crisis that must frankly be faced
now, and not at the next harvest.
Watching, but Not Waiting
We are watching, but not waiting
Day and night the best brains of the
country are preparing and perfecting
the machinery whereby all available
bread supplies can be simultaneously
controlled and rationed out to rich and
poor alike.
In this connection I should like TO
acknowledge the debt we owe to Mr..
Hoover and those Americans who as
sisted him in the splendid work OF re-
lieving and revictualling Belgium.
Their experience has been freely placed
at our disposal and has proved invalu-
able.
II we have to issue bread cards you
can take IT from me that 1t will not be
an admission of temporary defeat. IL
will simply mean that we are adopting
the precautions necessary TO assure
complete victory. There are some
things we have learned after nearly
three years Of the bloodiest war IN
history. and one is 20 tell our people
what they are up against" and quite
openly to take such measures as COM
pulsory service 10 meet an emergency!
Your own food controller, Mr..
Hoover. solved the problem in a SEN
tCnce when he said: There is nothing
sbout 1t that cannot be overcome with
management. but the management must
be based on rigid economy. and econ.

huences Could Control
Body of Seven Men

New York City will be rudely awsk-
ened next January, according to mem
bcrs Of the Board of Education. to the
effect of the Lockwood bill. which pro
poses 10 reduce the membership Of the
board from forty-six to seven. The bill
now awaits Governor Whitman's sigma
turc.
This prediction is based on the be-
lief that seven men cannot do :hc work
now apportioncd among forty-siX. and
that the bill is long step toward a
paid board. The members declare that
for many reasons such a board would
be inadvisablc.
81 don't know where any one can he
found to do the work" William g..
Wilcox, president Of the board, said
yesterday. Il am quite certain that
none OF the members Of the present
board would be willing to undertake IT,.
Predicts School Upheaval
"The board is organized into fifteen
committees. Last year these held 361
regular meetings, IN addition to many
special meetings. One member OF the
board has figured that if seven men and
women are to do the same work they
would have TO be in session six hours
:. day every day of the year.
81 am afraid the passage Of the bill
will lead to paid board. Membership
would then be "A political plum, and |
doubt very much whether any salaries
fixed for the seven-member board would
attract the men and women best quail

schools"
lie asserted that the provision of the
bill giving the Board of Education a
mandatory appropriation Of 40 mills on
each dollar of assessed property valua-
tiOn was a small measure of financial in
dependence from the Board of Esti-
mate. The board would get about
$500. 900 more, he said, than the present
appropriation Of about Sll 100000.
Thomas W. Churchill, former presi-
dent of the board called the bill the
most preposterous measure ever passed
by the Legislature
Sees Politics Injected
1T is throwing a monkey wrench into
the machinery" lac declared. The
measure is big stride toward a paid
board. for il Will be impossible, be-
lievc. TO find seven capable men willing
to do the work without pay.
Whether the new board were paid or
not, a large part Of the work would
have 10 be showed along to some other
body, presumably the board of suptrin-
tendents. already overworked. as the
breakdown in health Of several mem
bers tends to show"
Mr.. Churchill said board of seven

ences for political purposes, as one of
forty-six could not be, or could be used
By educational foundations to further
their aims"

America Must Help
without whole-souled cooperation OF
the American people all the voluntary

They are splendidly brave, these

heart and tighter lip if she knows
that thousands Of miles away other
English speaking women are silently
sharing the fight. The fact that the

CHARGES GoUGING IN SHOES.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-C. w. Stafford,
a wholesale leather dealer, declares
there is no valid economic reason for
the prevailing high prices, and they
result solely from the determination
of the retail dealer to charge every
cost for which his customers will
stand.
Retail shoe men are to blame for
the present situation, as they have
asked prices that are out of reason"
said Mr.. Stafford. after the retail
shoe business has reacted to normal
basis, the leather business will re-
vive. Talk about the necessity for
asking excessive prices for shoes is
nonsense. No one wants business to
pick up more than the leather men do.
Prices on hides are going down; any
one who tries TO hold for higher fig
ures is on the wrong track"
His statement was backed up by R.
C. Jacobson. editor of Hide and Leath-
err, who said:
1.-The hide markets declined heavily
again this week, owing to the neglect
of buyers, who realize That he eX-
treme high prices reached have re-
suited in greatly curtailed consump
ton of leather and goods made there
from. 1t is natural reaction. The
shoe and leather necessities of the
belligerents have been overestimated
in America. Buyers and sellers of
raw and finished stock are apart in
their views, while prices continue sag
ging. Packers continue tanning more
hides than ever, but packer hides con-
tinue to accumulate and prices are be,
ing sacrificed to move them"

25o,ooo MEN NEEDED;
HINT AT NEW DRAFT.

Because it is necessary to provide
recruit reservoirs" to maintain the
regular army, National Guard army
and the national army at war strength
it is probable, according to hints CIV
en- today, that before the second draft
force of 100000 men is called the War
Department will draft an informed
late force of from 100000 to 100000
men, according to a Washington spec
ial to the New York Times. 1t is eX-
pected that this will be done some
Tina before Jan, /. The draft law
gives the President power to draft
enough men to keep all the armies at
maximum war strength throughout
the war.
In addition to maintaining these
armies at war strength the War De-
partment faces the problem of sup
plying the men needed under the bill
authorizing the expansion of the Sig
nal Corps. At least 10000 men will
be needed for this purpose.
Officials of the Signal Corps have
submitted 10 the general staff men,
orandum requesting a decision on
whether these men are to be furnish
ed by draft or whether another cam
paign for voluntary enlistments shall
be inaugurated. Signal Corps officers
expressed the belief that they could
fill the corps in time by voluntary en-
listments because of the great popu-
larity of both branches of that arm.
In view of the special type of men
needed for the Signal Corps such as
mechanics, chaufeurs, carpenters. etc.
it is thought that the voluntary enlist
ment plan probably will not be tried.
The appointment of a civilian commit
Tee to select specially trained men
from the drafted forces was interpret
ed today as the initial move to fur
nish the men needed by the Signal
Corps.
