Washington March 3O.-The Amerl-
can forces in France are now part Of

now under command of General FOch,
who, if he has not been by this time
named generalissimo of all the allied
forces, is SO in fact, and he is noted
for his suddenness and aggressiveness.,
1t was Foch who directed the attack
on the German left flank at the Marine
that won the battle and saved Paris in
1914.
Washington got the news of the
triumph of the Wilson plan of unified
command when a message was given
out at the White House conveying the
presidents congratulations to the gen.
eralisSimO.
This was dispatched after the cab
met had learned of the offer of Perish
ing to the high chief of all the forces
Of America for use in the coming bat
tie.
The cable to General Foch was as
follows:
MAY not convey to you my sincere
congratulations on your new author
.ty? Such unity of command is a most
hopeful augury of ultimate. success.
We are following with profound inter-
EST the bold and brilliant action of
FOUR forces.

Director General Schwab Tells OF
Four Hundred Million Feet OF
Lumber Sent East Coast.

Approximately four hundred million
feet of yellow pine lumber has been
cut and transferred to the shipyards
on the Atlantic coast and used in the
construction Of wooden vessels by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. accord
ing to a report filed by the lumber di-
vision of the corporation. A bridge
with a floor one inch thick and TWEEN
ty-five feet wide could be built across
the Atlantic with this amount of lum-
Der.
To build 275 ships. in course of con-
struction a short time ago, it was nee
essary to have AIS. 1000. 900 feet of lum-
Der. The figures given do not apply
to the needs of vessels in course or
construction or provided for in Pacific
coast yards, Director General Schwab
said. Mr.. Schwab called attention to
the fact that Chairman Hurley said a
few months ago 1t may be necessary
to bridge the Atlantic This. in a
sense, has actually been done, the d.
rector general said.
From the Pacific coast and the
southern territories more than forty
thousand carloads of lumber have al
ready been moved. When the rail-
roads were congested last winter by
coal and labor shortage fleet OF
twelve vessels moved lumber from
Port Arthur, Tex. and Gulfport. Miss.

JAM SIRUP RATI0NING
FOR BRITISH PEOPLE
Restrictions Apply Also to Honey,
Molasses and Marmalade-Ef-
fective November 4.

The British people are to be put on
a strict ration as regards strip, jam,
honey, molasses and marmalade, ac-
cording to information received by
the United States Food Administra-
ton.
This new ration order becomes ef-
fective November 4. and il is expected
the rationing of jam will be especially
discomforting to the British people,
as they are great jam consumers. Be
sides. jam has been used to help out
the small butter ration of five ounces
a week. The fruit crops in England
were abnormally poor this year, prac-
tically all the fruit produced being
bought for the army and navy for
making purposes.
The British people have been on an
allowance of two pounds of sugar q
month, the same basis as now exists
in the United tates. The new regu-
lation will make ii impossible to sup
plement this ration with unlimited
supplies of other sweeteners. as exists
in the United States. The size of the
new ration will not exceed four
ounces per week. So long as the sup
plies permit, however. a supplement
airy ration of two ounces per week
will be given children between six
and eighteen years.
