ready in Service Give Figures Near
Estimate.

Washington, June 14.-Nearly COM
plete reports to the provost marshal
generals office show that 744,S65
young Americans who have become OF
for military service on June 5. This
is 266,724 below the estimate of the
census bureau, but since more than
100000 unregistered 21 year olds al
ready have enlisted in the army, navy
or marine corps, the military authori-
ties find the result entirely satisfac-
tory.
Army and navy estimates place the
number of 21 year old men enlisted Ut
20S,5SS. This figure combines with
the falling off in alien registration
gives total of 353.6S6, which means
that census bureau apparently missed
the number of eligibles by only 49,

EAT LESS BEEF.
Food Administration Calls ON People
to Conserve Supply for Army.

Columbia. juno 14.-William FL
lott. food administrator for South
Carolina. has received telegram from
Herbert Hoover. In which the federal
food administrator says:
The demands for beef for our
army and the allied armies Of their
civil populations for this summer are
beyond our present surplus. On the
other hand. we have enough increased
supply of pork this summer to permit
economical expansion In Its use. II
will therefore be n direct service to
our armies and the allies II our people
would In some degree substitute fresh
pork. bacon. ham and sausage for
beef products"
The food administration. In view OF
the demands for beef for the army
and the allies. has now reached the
point where II must request all ho-
tells and restaurants not to place on
their menus or serve boiled beef for
more than two meals per week. and
beefsteak for not more than one meal
per week. Roast beef Is also limited
TO one meal a week.
The State food administrator Is
asked to enforce this rule against all
public eating places.
Nr. Hoover's telegram to Mr.. Elliott
continues:
"Householders are not under any
circumstances to buy more than one
and one-quarter pounds OF clear beef
weekly Cor one and one-half pounds,
including the bone) per person In the
household. The public will realize
that the changing situation in ship
ping. and. therefore. OF the markets
available to the allies and the increas-
Ing demands for our growing army
with the fiuctuating supplies of local
beef I'm France all make II impossible
to determine policies for long periods
I'm advance. We have recently ask ed
for economy In all meat consumption.
We wish now to emphasize further re-
duetion OF beef by the substitution of
pork. IL is anticipated that II will
hold good until September 10. and the
cooperation OF the public is most
earnestly requested"
