CAMOUFLACE
MIDDLE NAME
OF AMBASSADOR
(By Lowell Mellett, United Press
Staff Correspondent

(By Lowell Mellett, United Press
Staff Correspondent
London, Nov 21.-(By mail .)-Had
our regular Wednesday session with
Ambassador Page in his big pleasant
room at the embassy.
Well boys, ! don't know what |
can tell YOU" began the ambassador
in his customary genial way Then
he proceeded to demonstrate in his
equally customary way that he knew
right well what he couldn't tell us.
The ambassador is the sort you
wouldn't mind having for your own
personal grandfather but you'd hate
to have your newspaper career de-
pend on him. He has made news
lessness a subject OF private re
search.
When the weekly demonstration
was complete to the satisfaction of
all, we turned to the never ending
topic Of the censorship.
Last Saturday the u. s. destroyer
sank a German submarine,
which she had found fervently she'll
ing British merchantmen. The ep-
isolde had various thrilling side
lights and formed, we thought, just
the sort of story to stir American
blood. Censor killed it.
The ambassador was very sympa-
thetic. Agreed that the publication
Of the news might be a real service
at home; that too much mystery
about the doings of our fleet might
have a bad effect; that it was un-
fortunate that most of the truthful
colorful pictures of the war could
not be reflected in the newspapers,
remarking that future historians
might find themselves limited to the
dry unenlightening official reports.
The New York Times man was
rather bitter. The upshot of the
policy" he declared. "is
that most of the correspondents are
writing humorous stuff. People at
home are apt to get the impression
that either this isn't a serious war
or that we are a lot of ghouls who
can't see anything ~ run in the
whole terrible business"
The ambassador was sympathetic
genuinely, without question-but
he didn't commit himself to the
opinion that the censorship is en-
-irely misguided.

However MIR. Hoover won't raise
row if you have more meatless and
wheatless days than his rules re-
quire,
Bert Barefoot isn't sure which he
would choose if he had his "druth-
ers," between having the tonsilitis
and going to the trenches.

break when in opening his remarks

NEW FOOD REGULATIONS EF-
FECTlVE

Backed up by proclamation is
sued by President Wilson, the U. S
food administration has issued new
regulations, effective on Monday
Jan. 2S. These rules designate Mon
day and Wednesday as wheatless
days, Tuesday as meatless, Saturday
as porkless, and require one meatless
and one wheatless meal every day.
ii is well to remember that we have
a city ordinance in Chickasha for
the enforcement of all federal food
regulations. The sections of the
new regulations relating to consum-
ers are as follows:
"As their part in reducing the con-
sumption Of wheat flour, the consum-
ers of the country are called upon in
purchasing such flour to buy at the
same time an equal amount OF the
ether cereals--corn meal corn
starch, corn flour, hominy grits, bar
icy Hour, rice, rice flour, oat meal
rolled oats, buckwheat flour soya
bean flour and feterita flours and
meals. The housewives may use
these products separately in makingI
bread and cakes, pastry or mix them
as she thinks best.
"The retailers are to sell wheat
flour only with an equal weight Of
these other cereals.
Consumers will be oble to obtain
mixed cereal bread from their bak
ers, who will be required to mix fivel
per cent Of other cereals with their
wheat flour both in bread and rolls
and will be required gradually to in
crease this substitution until begin
ming February "a a minimum of 20
per cent of such cereals is to bel
used.
"The food administration strongly
urges on consumers the buying oil
this bread, which will be known as
Victory bread and will contain mott
less than twenty per cent Of cereals
other than wheat. Graham or whole /
wheat bread will also be given that
name because containing as they do
25 per cent more of the wheat than
ordinary white bread, they too will
serve the purpose Of saving wheat
flour.
eff you bake bread at home use
wheat substitutes if you buy it buy
only Victory bread.
"To assist further in conservation
and Wednesday of each
week are to be observed as wheat
less days, and one meal of each day
as a wheatless meal. This applies
both in the home and in the public
eating place and on such days and
meals no crackers, pastries, nla al
roni, breakfast foods or other ce-
reals containing wheat should be
used. The only exception to this is
such small amounts of flour as may
be needed for thickening soups or
gravies or as a binder in corn bread
Dr other cereal breads.
"On wheatless days and at wheat
less meals the food administration
urges that bread baked in the home
be other than wheat bread Where
