WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
THE FRONT, September 2s.-Secre-
tary of War Baker experienced the
trouble of a private citizen today
when he stopped at Barbecue for
lunch. Accompanied by his private
secretary. Mr.. Hosteller. and an Amer
lean colonel, he was making a flying
trip through the war zone They seat
ed themselves at a table at the So
called leading hotel of the tewn: It
was probably the first meal the secre-
tary had eaten incognito since arriv-
ing in Europe.
"Avez vous les cartes de pain? ?"
(Have you bread cardsO asked the
coatless waiter, who was leisurely at
tending to the table.
Secretary Baker looked at his Sec
retary blankly and at the colonel. The
French was beyond them, while the
attitude of the walter was unmistak-
able. An answer to his question was
clearly necessary preliminary te the
meal. The Secretary's appetite warned
him that a crisis was impending, when
suddenly he saw a familiar face
"Carrol, come here. What does this
man want7"
The man he addressed was Raymond
G. Carol, the New York correspond
ent. The latter Interpreted, and the
Secretary learned that every person
eating in q public place In France
must produce q bread coupon as a
necessary preliminary to securing q
meal. This saved the situation. Mr..
Carol produced three tickets for the
70 md 10 orfn f., n
grams (three eunees) of war bread for
each.
