war BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays 5000, O,C00,000 toward the cost of
that nations war bread. That is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than in America. incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain. bought Mt an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets of the world at pre-
vaillng prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at lS cents.
The two pound loaf costs cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for cents
In milling. however, IA per cent.
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there is com
pulsory ndulteration of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration of so
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 65 per
cent. pure at Its best.
In France. under conditions some
what similar. hut with larger extra
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 16
cents.

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD
Food Administration Declares II 10 an
Absolute Sin to Waste Food-Food
Has Become Sacred.

Europe is still sending an insistent
call for more food. We must send 1t
II the war IL to 60 on efficiently. If
we eat 1t all we cannot ship 1t, and
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
IL needed by people who will starve II
they do not get 1t. The food administra-
tion states.
For the least bit of heedlessness
on your part In food conservation some
one somewhere in the world must suf-
tSr privation." an official statement
declares "The food administration
has mastered the problem of Ameri-
cas- food In such a way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept In
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach in Europe.
at is an absolute sin to waste food.
Food has become sacred.
Food means life; 1t means some
bodys life, and you cannot escape re-
sponslbility.
There is no waste of food among
the allied nations"

BIC CORN CROP
IS NOW MOVING
More Than 5000 Million Bushels
Raised in 1917-Gives
Big Surplus.
SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION
America Beginning Greatest Corn Con-
sumption In History. Using Cereal
In Many Delicious Dishes.

Corn, Americas greatest cereal crop,
Is now moving rapidly to market.
More than 5000 million bushels
80 bushels for every man, woman and
child in America-were rnised In 1917.
1t was mighty crop. The actual In
crease is about 500 million bushels
And this extra store of grain is com
ing on to the market in the nick Of
time, since the American wheat sur
plus has been sent to help feed famine
threatened Europe.
Just as 1t happened In the Colonial
days, the War of the Revolution. and
the Civil War, corn has actually be-
come the nations mainstay.
In the entire list of America s food
commodities there Is no item that Ii
better than corn. In puddings, bread.
corn pone, and as hominy combined
with meat or eggs. corn Is without
peer. Housewives are fast learning
the large number of delicious dishes
that may be made with corn and their
families are benefiting by an increas-
ed use of the cereal. Corn, more than
any other cereal. contains all of the
elements essential to maintaining life
and health
In order that the fighting men
abroad and in the army camps at home
may be fed, and In order that actual
famine may be kept from the nations
associated with America In the war.
the citizens of America are finding
corn products delicious and palatahle
on "wheatless days" and glory In the
fact that "wheatless days" here mean
more wheat for the war worn allied
nations Europe.
England. France and italy must he
fed from Americas great storehouse.
They will get some corn-especially
Italy-but most of their grain ship
ments must he wheat Their ability
to use corn Is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And II Is the opinion Of officials In
Washington that the present is no time,
to try and change the eating habits of
Europe.
Americas greatest use of corn will
be In the form OF corn bread and corn
meal. mixed with wheat In the making
of leavened bread.
Mixed with so per cent. wheat flour.
corn meal can he used in bread max
Ing, producing a loaf more nutritious
than bread bnked with wheat alone.
II Is fact corn mIllers will verify
that dozens of the large American bak-
ers have been successfully using corn
flour in bread making for several
years.
HomIny grits. served at breakfast
with poached egg. or eaten at any
other meal with meats or gravy. Is an
other use OF corn that will become un-
usually popular during the war.
Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes,
and corn oil for use in all kinds OF
cooking nre two more products that
nre already welcomed in thousands of
American homes.

POPE PLEASED
WITH TONE OF
WILSON TERMS

Rome, Jan. 14-The Osservatore
Romano again commenting on the
statements Of President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd-George, recalls the i'm
Partially of the Holy See through
out the conflict.
Certainly" says the newspaper,
which is the vatican organ, "the Holy
See saw with legitimate satisfaction
that President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd-George put as a basis of posi-
BILE negotiations and the settlement
of Europe those very points contained
in the appeal of the Holy Father last
August to the heads of the belIger-
ent peoples.
Those points were intended, not for
articles for concrete treaty of peace,
but as fundamental points for starting
negotiations"
The newspaper continues that the
pleasure felt by the Holy See in see
ing harmony existing between the
pontif1cal proposals and the Anglo
American statements does not mean
that the vatican will exercise any
pressure on either group Of beIliger-
ents with the view to supporting their
concrete propositions, as this would
mean q violation of the principle of
impartiality.

KEY OPERATORS
TO TEACH ARMY
SIGNAL ROCKIES

Washington, Jan. 14.-Nearly 200
telegraph operators in the Associated
Press service, responding to appeals
by the chief signal officer of the
army and the federal board for voca-
tional education, to supply instructors
for national army men, have volun-
teered to give a part of their own
time to the work. They Will train
thousands of drafted men in school,
to be opened in about 25 states and at
each school at least one "a. P" man
will assist in the instruction work.
These schools have been established
by the federal board for vocational
education and provided with complete
buzzer equipment. Last October this
board and the signal corps asked for
instructors for $4,000 men of the sec
ond and succeeding drafts and Kent
Cooper, chief of the traffic depart
ment, appealed directly to Associated
Press men in cities where classes were
to be formed A1th ough unfamiliar
with the International wireless code,
the men were urged to 'familiarize
themselves with it, and every man
whose working hours permitted him
to devote any time to the instruction
work turned in his name. They will
teach both afternoon and evening
classes.

HARBOR AGAIN
THREATENED BY
ZERO WEATHER

Traffic in Bridgeport harbor is again
threatened with a tie-up owing to the
fact that the channels which have
been cleared of ice are again freezing
up with the low temperature which
has prevailed since Saturday night. it
was reported today that it was pos
sib1e to walk ashore from the light
calling upon tug masters to clear a
channel to their docks.
The S. S. Park City has not come
to Bridgeport in two weeks, being
frozen up in Port Jefferson, with not
much chance of her resuming her
regular run until the weather becomes
very much milder.
The hopes which were running high
a few days ago for regular shipments
of coal from New York have all TAX
en- slump today owing to the fact
that the ice which was well broken up
by the favorable winds and high tides
has been piled up in many places ten
feet high by the wind changing and
the almost zero weather.
Local tugboat men fatty refuse +!
do any more ice breaking unless they
are adequately compensated for taxi
ing the big risks with their boats One
of the most prominent shipping men
said today, whatever I have been
paid for breaking channels for ice
companies and railroads did not cover
the damage done the hulls of the
boats and certainly will not risk an
other tug in breaking ice without be-
ing properly paid for it"
The ice has been piled up SO high
now that the steel shoes which were
fitted to the bows Of the boats are no
lo niger a protection and shippers are
tying their boats up to the docks and
idle rather than keep up
the constant battle with the icebergs.
Workmen filling the huge caisson
of the lower bridge with -,ete have
stopped work again owing to the in
tense cold and the cement freezing,
while similar action had to be taken
with regard to the sunken steam
barge Mohawk" which divers have
been trying to salvage for the past few
weeks.
