binations. which the District food adj
ministration proposes issuing to the

probably will be distributed Satur-
day or Monday.
Forms of these menus will be sub
mitted to the lunchroom committee
of the local administration when it
meets next Friday. 1t Is expected
they will be Immediately adopted.
BY providing these menus the ad.
ministration expresses the hope OF
not only effecting reduced prices In
public eating places, but of improving
conditions generally in many lunch
rooms and restaurants, about which
there has been SO much complaint
from the thousands of war workers
who patronize them one or more
times daily.
The food administration menus will
be arranged so as to provide combi-
nations of food which can be
bought at the lowest possible price,
and which. at the same time, will be
most nourishing and the least liable
to have harmful results.

LONDON, September 1S.-It is ru-

demonstration similar to that of July
1917. according to an Amsterdam dis

Tho promptness as we'll as the sub
stance of President Wilson's reply to
Austria-Hungary is approved by the
London morning papers. Even the
pacifst Daily News urges the allies
to follow the American lead and in
dcrse the points enunciated by Presi-
dent Wilson. using the situation to
drive the wedge into Germany and
her allies.
The Times admires the promptitude
of the reply as heartily as II agrees
with the line taken by the President
The Morning Post says that the
answer is framed in the only terms
which bent the occasion.
The Daily Chronicle thinks that the
allies cannot fail to be influenced by
President Wilson's example, which
makes it certain that they will reject
the Austrian invitation. The Chron-
fele contends. however. that their po-
sition is different than Americas and
that their reply ought to be framed
90 as to carry a message of hope and
not despair to the masses of Germany
and Austria Hungary.

characterized as one Of grim approval
The report Of tina Austrian suGGss-

that none OF the: allied governments.

central powers to gain time.

AS the newssof President Wilson'S
brief answer moved steadily toward

one soldier to another, there was a
feeling of relief among the officers
of high rank and an air Of satisfac-
