BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program Tn
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying 500, 0O0,OOO u year toward tie
Z cost Of II.
All The grain grown In Great Brit,
uln Is taken over by the government,
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets Al
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over TO the mills by the govern
ment nj price that allows the adul
Ierated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents the two pound LOAF
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex
traction, the four pound loaf sells fol
l6 cents.

If the various counties of the
State would vote the 2O-cent road
tax, it would be possible in most
cases to have good roads and
good bridges without voting bond
issues. The tax would not work
a hardship on anyone and the in
crease in value Of property alone
would be worth to the people
several hundred times t h e
amount they pay in taxes.

ABILITY OF U.S.. BOYS

With the American Army in
France, July 3-(By the Associat-

The German army thinks of the

IS given by a copy Of an intelli-
Jence report Of the Ode
eted) German army which has
ust been obtained. The report,
describing the fighting on the
Marine refers to the Gee
Ieted) American division as a very
good one, "almost an attacking d.
vision" and adds that the nerves
Of the Americans Rave not yet
been shaken. Prisoners taken by
the Germans, the report states,
were physically we'll built and
were aged from 18 to % years.
Their characteristic utterance is
quoted as I'VE kill or be killed"

Berlin mentions local attacks in the

that French and Italian forces had
