American Peace ENJOYS Cali Tor Ham
and Eggs and Keep Paris
Cooks Busy.

Paris.-Cooks at the hotel where the
hundreds of Americans connected with
the peace conference are staying are
amazed at the appetites of the Amer
leans. The American breakfast upset
all calculations in the; French hotel
accustomed to supplying guests with
rolls and coffee as an early morning
meal. Wild calls for ham and eggs,
beefsteaks, chops, oatmeal and hot
cakes surprised the French cooks, who,
after weeks Of catering to the hungry
Americans, have not become reconciled
to the American breakfast menu.
The American fondness for hors
doeuvres also caused CONSERVATION.
Great dishes Of beet pickle, potato
salad, sardines, coleslaw and other rel.
ishes, served as preliminary to the
conventional French dinner, disappear
so rapidly that it has been necessary
to employ many additional cooks to
prepare delicacies of this sort. Amer
leans help themselves so freely to this
initial course that they frequently have
little appetite for the soup, fish and
other dishes which follow.
AS the hotel kitchen can draw on
army supplies for its food. the Amer
leans have many delicacies not avail
able generally in Paris cafes. Ices, ice
cream and pastry made with real sugar
are offered to the peace delegation. In
most Paris hotels and cafes saccharine
Is used for such purposes, and even for
sweetening coffee. The hotel where the
Americans stay also has an abundance
Of white -four and genuine white bread
Elsewhere In Paris the bread is dark,
and even pastry, when available, Is

the very best money and brains can
