| By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Saturday. May 1S.-Vctor
| Boret, the French food minister, was
asked today by the Associated Press
what effect the first three meatless
days terminating yesterday had upon
the situation in France. He replied:
"It means that our and your brave
boys at the front will henceforth re-
ceive all tho meat necessary to
strengthen them for the arduous task
of beating tho Germans. 1t is an ex-
| preston Of French gratitude to
America for the restrictions imposed
on the American people and the desire
to show that French civilians are
willing and eager to make similar
sacrifices.
continued, "have not yet been re-
ceived. but Judging from the figures
sent in from the Paris. Seine and out
lying districts I can say that the
threatening crisis has been safely
passed. The savings in meat in the
last three days will enable me to
breathe easier and feel sure that the
fighting men at the front will want
for nothing"
NJ. Boret explained that France has
been under a handicap owing to the
lack of refrigerating warehouses and
cars, and said:
"It is more a difficulty Of trans
portation than q lack Of meat itself
which caused the meatless day meas
ures to be taken"
Americans Not to Blame.
being spread in some quarters that
the meatless days were made neces-
sary because Of the purchase OF
American soldiers. tho minister ex-
claimed: @That is an absolute false
hood"
NJ. Boret paid a high tribute to the
American officers and men. saying:
They are men Of wonderful
customed to substantial food. They
spend an immense amount of energy
and they require the best foods. They
are sober and their digestive organs
have not been impaired by the use of
alcohol. Therefore. especially at the
purchased for the American Army,
but that has nothing whatever to do
with the present measures which
should have been taken long ago."
The minister pointed out that pre-
vious to the war France had produced
80 per cent of the wheat necessary
for French requirements and that last
year the production reached only 30
per cent.
THE so per cent had to be made up
by importations, intensif1cation of
production and restrictions. That was
when the bread card was Instituted
with good results. But tell them in
America that / must have men for
the coming harvest.
America must hurry and send men
to relieve our old classes in the
trenches SO that they may be brought
back to the farms to reap tho harvest !;
for what use is 1t to intensity and
increase the sowing II hands are lack
ing to harvest 1t, and the crops are
left rotting in the eld? What France
needs is farm help for July and
August.
Tho allies should be grateful to
two men after victory has been OBJ
tained." M. Boret went on. First, to
the general who leads the soldiers to
win tho decisive battle, and, second,
to Herbert Hoover. who rendered it

BY Che Associated Press.
LONDON. May 20.-A calm summer
like night tempted the Germans to try
last night their first air raid on London
since March Z, and four Of the raiders
fell before the defenses Of London.
The latest aerial attack Of the Ger
mans on London and its environs
probably was the most ambitious ever
undertaken. Never before was there
such a continued vol1ey of firing from
the British anti-aircraft batteries.
Thousands of people had their first
experience in a raid. They were per-
sons from many points of England.

tage of the Whitsuntide holidays,
which run from Saturday until Tues
day, to visit the metropolis. On the

Raiders Flew High.

Except for few brief pauses. the gun
ners blazed away with terrific con-
centration of fire. The raiding Gothas
flew at great height, the majority of
them keeping well up to 1900 feet in a
very clear sky.
The raid was one of the most exciting
Londoners have yet experienced. As the
enemy machines approached the sky was
filled with bursting shrapnel Perhaps
the most dramatic moment came when
the distinctive hum of one Of the Ger
man machines suddenly became q splut-
ter and then ceased. The plano was
seen to burst into flames as it fell.
After the continuous barage died
away the searchlights were turned out
ward and lone shell was sent after
the retreating raiders.
The moon was shining brightly when
the raiders crossed the southeastern
point and headed for the metropolis.
The usual. warnings were given
promptly, and the people had time to
reach shelter before the guns in the
neighborhood of London were heard.
The firing was almost continuous for
more than two hours and was unusually
severe Several bombs were dropped by
the raiders. The number Of enemy air
craft Is not known. but they seem to
have been more numerous than usual
