LONDON FOOD PRICES SHAME

Cost of Meals in United States Is
IS Per Cent Higher Than in
England, Traveller Says.

Washington, June 17.-Do you
know that in America you are pay
ing about IS per cent more for food
than you would in London?
An American arrived in Washing
ton to-day from London and brought
with him a menu from Simpsons
Grand Divan tavern, on the Strand,
as the best argument he could find
for food dictatorship in America,
Compared with the menu of the
average Washington hotel, the
prices were mild, And England has
been in the war three years while
the United States han't realized that
it is fighting.
Here's the way the tourist started
to compare figures:
He went into a we'll known down.
town hotel for luncheon to-day and
ordered julienne soup, roast beef,
a vegetable, a pudding and coffee.
The waiter brought him q check for
$2os.
"Why this is preposterous," he pro-
tested. 1.-THE same luncheon would
have cost me just $3.50 in London,
and London is on rations."
Then he sat down and made COM
parison of London and Washington
prices, using menus from restaurants
of the same class. Here are some of
the results:
In London julienne and tomato
soups cost IS cents = portion. here
90 cents. Other soups compare pro-
portionatelly In price.
In London mushrooms cost 81
cents and here IS. Onions are 8
cents = portion In London and IS
cents In Washington. Comparison of
other vegetable prices bring praetic-
ally the same results.
Lamb chops cost 90 cents here and
- in London. Puddings which cost
90 cents here. are Q cents in London.
Jelly 10 s cents at Simpsoa's, here it
10 -. Fruits are nearly 100 per cent
higher here than in London. So are

18th INFANTRY
MAY Be CALLED
To THE STATES

THAT the war department may caH
within the next few weeks q hri-
gade Of infantry from the Hawaii
an department, Is held by persons more
or less interested In the situation as
something not. merely possible but
quite probable as well. "~9
Rumors that the 125th Infantry will
be called from here before the war
situation has progressed much farther
have. spread to include at least two
other regiments-the list and Sind or
the list and End No confirmation Of
the reports that such a call may be
expected can be secured at depart
ment headquarters and it is not un.
likely that officers here are much in
the dark as to any plans that may
be in progress.
However, the army here is not in
active, according to number Of re-
ports, and troops will be ready to de-
part soon after orders are issued. Ac-
cording to a statement today on the
street families of officers at Fort
Shafter are disposing of property that
they would be unable to take with
them to the mainland.
1t is also reported that some Of
the Schofield regiments have been
given orders to pack up all surplus
equipment ready for, sailing at a mo-
ment's notice.
Persons who keep in touch with
military affairs believe that the in
struction announced yesterday by Gov.
Pinkham to accept enlistments from
married men where their means Of
support in time Of active service
would be ample to care for their fam
lilies indicate the intention to call out
the Hawaii guard FOR home protection,
relieving regular troops for duty in
France.
They also say that the army re.
ceived here from the draft will prob.
ably be called to the mainland as a
part of the new national army. AS
to that, however, one guess is as good
as another.
Uncle Sans soldiers on Oahu are
being given constant and Intensive
training; this is definite. II their
work with bayonet dummies, hand
grenades and trench shovels is only
a form Of physical culture, they are
getting a generous supply Of it. Thus
the dopesters argue and are confident
in the belief that a few weeks more
will demonstrate the truth of their
theory.
