ENGLAND RATIONS
HER ANIMALS now
CHE PUTS THEM ON A CEREAL
DIET, STRICTLY LIMITED, IN
STEAD OF THE PEOPLE
ON A BREAD RATION.

The belligerent countries almost
without exception have found it neces-
sary to ration bread and 1t is natural
that some wonder should be expressed
that England has not done so. Great
Britain suffers from shortage Of ce-
reals. as do the other warning coun-
tries, but she prefers to solve her prob
lem In another way. When the con-
sumption Of bread is limited, the main
food Of the poorer classes Is limited
The well-to-do can supplement their
bread ration with other foods, but
when the supply Of bread to the poor
is limited. they must go hungry, since
they cannot afford the other more e1-
pensive articles Of diet.
The British ministry Of food thinks
it more profitable, instead Of rationing
bread, to increase the amount Of CO.
reals available for baking by limiting
their use in the feeding Of animals.
Three and one-half to eight pounds OF
cereals must be fed, in the form Of Of
falls, barley and maize, to make one
pound Of fat meat So, for each pound
Of meat and fat that the English are
willing to forego they gain about fve
pounds Of cereals which can be used
for bread-making. Since this policy
has been adopted, two-thirds Of the Of
falls which were previously fed to pigs
and cattle are now put into the loaf,
and with them most Of the barley and
maize which have been used hitherto
for feeding animals on the farm. In
this way, though the shortage OF meat
has been inconvenient, it has been pos
sible to save 10 weeks supply OF
bread, enough to tide the country over
the critical time which must elapse
from now to the next harvest.
This is only one way that Great
Britain has saved her cereals, however.
Thousands Of families OF the upper
and middle classes have voluntarily d.
ninished their consumption Of bread
by one-half, and have forced them
selves to take potatoes in its place,
adopting the rule that at every cooked
meal potatoes should be served and
eaten rs far. as possible instead Of
bread.

fashion the only instrumentality by
which it can be made certain that
the agreements of the peace will be
honored and fulfilled.
That price is impartial justice in
every item OF the settlement no

and not only impartial justice but
also the satisfaction of the several

ton of that League of nations and
the clear definition of its objects

most essential part, of the peace

would be merely new alliance

plain terms again, why it must be

Paris, Sept. 27.-The hope that
there will be no question of peace
with the central powers until they

powers.
Washington, Sept. 27.-Bulgaria,
suing for peace with her armies
beaten and her border strongholds
in the hands of the allies, will get
no peace in the making of which
Germany even indirectly has finger
and no peace leaving in her posses
sion the slightest portion of the

On these points there was no dis
agreement tonight in official and al

came through American official
channels that the Bulgarians had
asked for an armistice to discuss
terms of peace. In fact the en-
phasis laid everywhere upon condi-

that the expected crumbling of Ger
many's lesser allies is at hand.
Nor will there be any interruption
