BRITONS MUST GO
ON SHORTER RATIONS
Compulsory System is Ready If VoIun-
teer Plan Fails Of
Success

London, May 8.-Whether the people
of the United Kingdom will respond to
appeals for voluntary bread and -four
rationing embodied in King Georges
recent proclamation and in posters and
pamphlets issued by the ministry on
food, remains to. be seen, but in the
meantime the ministry 10 working at
high pressure to put the finishing
touches on the machine which will be
established for compulsory rationing
unless the country cuts down on con-
sumption sharply on it's own volition.
The rationing of As Zoo, 900 or more peo-
pie presents tremendous and intricate
problem. The ministry, however, be-
lieves that it will be largely solved in
the scheme evolved.
Baron Davenport, food controller, has
turned to the we'll nigh perfect organ
ization developed by Herbert G. Hooy-
er, chairman of the American commits
sion for relief in Belgium, for guild
ance. The different conditions pre-
vailing in Belgium and England. Of
course, make 1t impossible to employ
the Belgian scheme as a whole, but
the food controller has secured valuable
hints from it for the British food regu-
lations. The main idea of the British
plan is decentralization. The whole
United Kingdom has been divided into
fifteen areas, each Of which has been
subdivided into cities, boroughs, urban
district councils and rural district
councils. These final small units will
be charged with distributing bread and
flour to the residents in their terri
tory through bread cards, or some
similar plan.

DUMBA GIVES HIS
OPINION OF WILSON
Is "obstinate, AnsIePhiIe Autoerat,"
Says Former Ambassador to
America.
(By Associated Press.)

Amsterdam, via London, May S.
1.-THE entire fault for Americas entry
into the war lies with President Will
son, who is an obstinate anglophile
autocrat filled with doctrinary stub
bornness," writes DIR. Constantine
Theodor Dumba, former Austro- Hun
garian ambassador to the United
States, in the May number of The
Oesterreichische Rundschau, a copy of
which has been received here.
DR.. Dumba begins his article by say
ing that before all else President Will
son wanted to prevent a disturbance
of the balance of power in Europe
in favor of the central powers. Presi-
dent Wilson, he adds, was convinced
that the sharpened submarine warfare
would carry the hunger blockade to
England and bring the entente to it's
knees by the destruction of cargo
space.
DR.. Dumba says the United States
was particularly anxious to secure
Great Britain's support against Japan
csc overlord-ship in the Pacific. Fur
thermore, the entry of the United
States into the war was a plausible
pretext for the creation of a big army,
and finally by her action she has &C
uuired a seat at the peace conference
table.

(Ry Associated Press. J

Washington, May S.-Naval cooper
alton between the United States and the
tiated largely in London, it was learn
ed yesterday, instead of here at Wash
ington, as is the case with military and
other subjects. Rear Admiral Sims,
who was on his way to England when
war was declared, and who has just
attended the allied naval conferences
at Paris, is charged to speak for the
American government on the major
questions of policy.
Apart from the original announce
ment that the United States will patrol
American waters and thus relieve the
allied vessels on duty here for two and
a half years, no statement of naval
policy is expected. Whether American
vessels will cross to the other side and
help in an offensive campaign either in
British waters or nearer the German
bases probably will become known only
through announcement of some deci-
sive action, if there is one.

Trading Was Light
and Prices Unchanged

New York, July 1.-THE new York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today's quiet and narrow market was
in marked contrast with that of the pre-
ceding day when traders talked volubly
OF peace. The covering of many of the
short lines put ont yesterday impaired
a firm tone to the general list in the
morning hours. Dealings were in re-
stricted volume and attracted little in
tereat. Wall street is thinking more se-
riouslv of the possibilities of higher
money rates during the balance Of the
summer. Call loans were quoted at 6
per cent. Stocks rallied OF the com
mencement of business. But there was
no sustained demand for securities at
higher figures.
The late trading brought out new
features Of strength such as American
Sugar and Industrial Alcohol. Steel
stocks exhibited better tone and at
times made advances of point or two
but the market for these properties was
very uncertain.
