that is. that our people should be eX-
tremely conservative in the use of
all solid and portable foods So
writes Gordon c. Werner, former
Harrisburg boy from the front in
Picardy. Werner was in the class OK
1917 at the Technical High School.
He is now in active service on the
French front, and is son of George
A. Werner, city school director. In
letter to his brother. George A.
Werner. Jr., 240 Emerald street, he
discusses the present situation:
People who grumple and who are

wornout prejudice against England

minds. I wish we could rid our
selves of that nonsense once and for
all time. / wish we could consider
that England at the time of our
trouble was under a German king;
king who spoke little but German.
considerate of us than were the
English last September. Crowds
were congregated at every station
from the north to the south. In fact,
the people were universal in their
desire to make our stay as pleasant
Is possible, from the King and
Queen who reviewed u.s. to the most
obscure individual on the island.
That unwarranted prejudice,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-05-07

characteristic of we bigoted Ameri-
cans, finds it's root in the public
schools. A nation must have some
traditional likes and dislikes as an
heritage from the other days and in
our case, England has been the viii
lian and France the guardian spirit.
But thanks to this trouble. Ameri-
cans have got to see England as
England and Englishmen as they
really are. wholehearted. impulsive
and generous. l hope and believe
that this war will break down bar
riers and establish a closer under
standing among English speaking
peoples.

Following the session Of City Court
this morning Judge Churchman refused
the appeal OF Albert ROthschild, super
visor OF the clothing department at

character in police circles. Chambers
IS now serving one year at the work

has but four months more to serve.
Although Judge Churchmsn anc Mr..
Rothchild both refused to discuss the

ssparticularS on the American Position
'No details are available. The pris-
oners are hardly able TO state where
they were in position. According to
their statement, II may be assumed that
the front line consists only OF rifle pits
one metre deep, up TO the present, mol
provided with wire entanglements. The
organization OF the positions in rear
Is unknown.
General morale:
"The prisoners in general make an
alert and pleasing impression. Re
garding military matters. however, they
do not show the slightest interest
Their superiors keep them purposely
without knowledge OF the military sub
iects. For example, most OF them have
never seen a map. They are no longer
able TO describe the villages and roads
through which they marched. Their
ideas on the organization Of their unit
Is entirely confused. For example, one
OF them claimed that his brigade has
six regiments. his division twenty
four. They will regard the war from
the point Of view OF the big brother
who comes TO help his hard-pressed
brethren, and is therefore welcomed
everywhere. A certain moral back
ground is not lacking; the majority
OF the prisoners simply took as a mat

"Only a few OF the troops are OF
pure American origin; the majority IS
OF German, Dutch and Italian percent

and never have been in Europe. fully

FOOD CONTROL WILL
CONTINUE IN BRITAIN
New Administrator Says
Conditions Cannot Be
Changed Overnight
RETURNS THANKS TO
AMERICAN PEOPLE

LONDON. July i3.-Food control In
England probably viii continue for at
least short while after the ending
OF hostilltles, according to John II.
Clynes, the new head Of the Food Min
istry. Discussing this subject with
'The Daily Telegraph" the new con-
troller said:
Whether the Food Ministry Will be
continued after the war depends on
how long the war lasts. but 1t Is clear
the conditions created will not sud
denly disappear when II is ended, and
for considerable time the Allied ma
tions win be required TO act in CO
operation both as regards supplies and
prices until normal conditions reap
pear. Unfortunately, those conditions
will be delayed until the forces Of food
production can be brought TO a point
where all kinds OF necessities again are
bountiful When that time arrives IL
will be, for the nation TO say whether
II Is prepared to go back and pursue
the usual channels"
Regarding aid from overseas, Mr..
N4Agnto cdAQs
People OF this country have little
idea OF our indebtedness to America
and the colonies for the abundance and
regularity OF our food supplies. Con-
dltions OF transport have improved
enormously"
The Food Controller paid tribute to
the American spirit OF patriotism"
which has been willing TO undergo sac
riflces in order TO feed England. He
said he would welcome II. C. Hoover,
the American Food Administrator, who
Is expected In England shortly. and
also the opportunity Of discussing With
him many Of the great business and
financial questions OF the food problem.
The policies OF the late NlscOunt
RhOndda would be continued by the
ministry, Mr.. Clynes declared. The
ministry would try TO maintain the
population in the highest state OF ef-
flciOcy, making distribution as
equitable as possible.
THE best and inferior grades Of
meats,"s continued Mr.. Clynes, "alike
now go to the well-tO-do districts and
poorer districts, and all classes are
paying the same price for an equal
share OF the best and worst portions"
