GREAT BRITAIN IS ONLY EXCEPTION
 REGARDING BREAD

SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.-All of the European belligerents have found it necessary to ration bread except Great Britain. In answer to hun dreds of inquiries as to why England rations sugar, beef butter and oth CT essentials except bread, the Unit ed States Food Administration today issued the following statement:
 Great Britain suffers now from serious shortage of cereals as do all other countries at war but she prefers to solve her bread problem in another way. When the consump tion of bread is limited by law the main food of the poorer classes is curtailed. The wealthier classes can supplement their bread ration with other foods, but when the supply oi bread to the poor is limited they must go hungry. since they lack the means of purchasing expensive arti cles of diet"
