Sir Cecil Spring Rice. British Am
bassador, and Lord Rhondda, the
food controller in England, tonight
gave support to Herbert G. Hoover's
food pledge week campaign by recit-
ing the experiences of Great Britain
on food conservation.
Il have a special word to say to all
my fellow-citizens resident in this
country said Ambassador Spring.
Rice. who have not assumed the
quality of American citizens but who
enjoy to the full the protection of this
free government. Our countrymen in
England, both rich and poor, have for
many months suffered privations from
which we have been exempt. 1t is
our privilege to share them now"
Lord Rhondda cobled to Mr. Hoover
his appreciation of aid and advice in
the British food conservation move
ment. Outlining a world shortage of
cereals, meats, fats and sugar, he
said:
For all these things the allies in
Europe are largely dependent on the
American people. Unless there is
real self-sacrifice, real cooperation in
the common campaign for conserva-
tion and increased production of food.
then food will not win the war. The
result of your food pledge week
means much to us and more to civili-
zation."
With 50 States reporting. the total
number of food pledge cards signed
tonight passed the 3,O00,OOO mark. No
estimate was made of the total with
all States Included. Indiana headed
the procession with 11C,2S2 families

He arrived in time to see the trans
port and his two sons, leaning on the

They had been told that their father
would see them off.
But all goodbys must be said a
couple of days before sailing time.

ship pull away from her pier and
start for France. He wept a little
and came away. The thought of go
ing back TO home for the aged in
Philadelphia without embracing his
two sons before they started on their
hazardous trip sickened him.
With a heavy heart he turned his
steps toward Washington. Some fifty
or more years ago he was wounded in
the battle of Bull Run. Now he had
given his two sons to fight for the

in the gloomy days OF the civil war.
