first with the problems of food. Two
circumstances, he said had contrib
uted lately to the gravity of the situa-
tion-failure to obtain margarine
and butter from Holland and Dem
mark and the fact that England had
been required to make sacrifices in
order to supply deficiencies Of her
allies. Owing to the efforts of the
food controller an Improvement was
visible in circumstances which had
caused so much anxiety in the last
few days More tea was coming in
and it was hoped by increased man
facture to improve the situation as
regards margarine shortly.
Owing to the food difficulties in
Germany. the premier went on, the
physical deterioration of workmen
there had been so marked that the
output per man had been decreased
by 33 per cent.
The British casualties, Lloyd
George said, had not amounted to
more than one-fourth or ome-fifth
of the Germans. Opposed to Ger
many, Austria and their allies, he
asserted, were more man power and
reserves than double those which
the Teutonic allies possessed
TIL government, the premier said,

unions on the man power proposals,
The advent of America into the
worlds politics, the premier declared,
was an advent which would loom
large in the future. This was true
also of the establishment of the
international council at Versailles.
AS for the disposition of the Ger
man colonies, the premier said, that
must be settled by the peace con-
gress. The future trustees of those
countries must take into account the
sentiments of the people themselves.
The premier told his hearers tina.

Mr. Lloyd George, the British
prime minister, said that the margin
of losses at sea was narrowing. The
sinking by submarines, he declared
was decreasing, while ship building
was increasing
The premier said the sinking of
submarines was increasing. Altho
the merchant tonnage was down
by twenty per cent, he added, the
loss had been only per cent of inn
ports over that of last year.
Regarding the military situation
Mr.. Lloyd George said, it was idle to
pretend that the hopes formed had

he attributed to the Russian col
lapse.

When British and French, troops

these days, after the Germans have

FOOD ADMIN|STRATIO
WANTS COOPERATION
Desires to Secure Economic COnsump-
tion of Meats Without Further
Resort to Meatless Days

Orlando, May 3-The food admins
tration is extremely desirous of Sc
curing economic consumption of all
kinds of meats, without a reinstalla-
tion of meatless days. The seasonal
decline in the volume of animals COM
ing to market is now in progress and
its volume with undoubtedly further
decrease during the next few months,
as is usual. but the probable amount
of such decrease is. yet obscure. The
necessity for shipment abroad to our
amounts to roughly 75,000,000 pounds
of meat and meat products of all
kinds per week, against the pre-war
normal of less than 100000 pounds.
Even with the large shipments, the
Allies have found it necessary to re-
duce the consumption of all kinds of
meat and poultry to an average of
about one and one-quarter pounds per
week per person in order that no
further draft should be made upon
shipping that is now required for the
transport of our soldiers. Our con-
sumption of meat is about three and
one-fourth pounds a week per person,
and if we are to make both ends bal
ance during the short marketing sea-
son We must have further economy.
If the public will continue its rigor-
Gus elimination of waste and will fur
ther economic, if they will reduce the
quantity prepared for each meal of
all kinds of meats and poultry, and
more particularly beef, and will re-
strict their purchases accordingly,
the food administration hopes that
the necessary balance can be main
tanned. A general adherence to these
recommendations viii avoid the in
convenience which arises in many
directions from meatless days and
will cause less interference in daily
preparation of food. There is now a
seasonal abundance of milk products
which can be well substituted in var
ious forms. The shortage of fish dur
ing the past several months, due to
the necessity of navy requisition of
trawlers and the enlistment of fisher
men for the navy, should soon be con-
siderably relieved by the expansion
which has been arranged In other
forms of fishing. Beacham,

Candidate for State Tax Commits
siOner for the Four Year Term
To the Democratic Voters of the State
of Florida:
Gentlemen: respectfully announce
my candidacy for your nomination to
the office of state tax commissioner,
for the four year term, and earnestly
solicit your votes and support for that
nomination at the primary, June 4th
next.
l am a native of Gadsden county,
and have spent most of my life In
Brevard and Duval counties. As a
county commissioner for Duval coun-
ty, / became much interested in the
questions of taxation, particularly the
just valuation of all property, on
which depends the justice and equali-
ty of the burdens of taxation. I have
studied these matters most earnestly,
and / believe that / can be of great
service to the people of Florida on the
state tax commission. | know that
there is no greater injustice than un-
equal taxation, and / give you my
sacred pledge that if you honor me
with the Office, / viii devote myself
most earnestly to the task of securing
the equalization of assessments among
the various counties, and among the
people of each county, and l win much
appreciate the honor of your support.
desire to present these matters to
you fairly, and will be glad to meet
or to hear from all voters before the
primary, and l will be your true and
faithful servant in the office.
Very respectfully,

ing these things without useless SER
wants. Are you better than you boy?
Do you want him to do your fighting,
and be his own servant, and at the
same time go hungry, because your
surplus servants were not sent to
farms to grow food for him ?"
You must answer that. Your town
must answer it.
Apply the acid test: Is this work of
war value; can the man now doing
this non-essential work do valuable
work on a farm? On that basis
Athens, Ca, found between 800 and
800 men uselessly employed in a town
of 10000. For example, the survey
shows forty licensed chauffeurs, with
the conclusion that thirty-fve are
non-essential. Women could take their
cars. These men handling farm trac-
tors would be really helping to win
the war Eight men were running
elevators, all of farm qualifications
and all listed as non-essential, because
in another Office building in Athens
girls are already running the eleva.
tors most satisfactorily. Eighteen
males who make their living shining
shoes were listed as non-essentiai
workers upon the theory that neatly
polished shoes in Athens, Ca, do not
help the American army break thru
to Berlin, whereas, these eighteen
strong men at work in the fields to
produce food will help US to win-the
Athenians shining their own shoes the
while if necessary
And so the survey continued thru
various classiications-useless deliv-
erymen, soft-drink dispensers, sur
plus servants. And farmers not far
away desirous,of labor TO produce war
crops!
Will your town do as Athens, Ga,
declared it would-tnrn non-essential
town workers to an activity that viii
really amount to something in this
war?
