Britishers Willing to Subsist on Short
Rations IL That Will Help Win
the War for Liberty.

II really isn't necessary To tell the
British people not Ia waste food. There
is nothing eatable left on the average
plate when the meal is finished. Meals
are one interminable round of fish
and eggs. fish and eggs Eggs are found
disguised under all manner of names.
but always there are eggs. not seven
times week, but almost 21 times a
week. writes Chester VI. Wright, mem
Der Of the American Federation of
Labor mission 10 England.
Meat is rationed by card system.
So is sugar, of which you may have
six ounces "A week and no more. one
of the best hotels in London is serv-
ing butter or margarine only once
daily. Many hotels have none for
days al n time.
Desserts are thing OF the past,
recorded I'm history but not among
the things eXtant. Milk is rationed.
Tea soon viii be. Bread is rationed.
Hotels will serve you with one brown

be amazed at the British menu today,
but the British do not grumble. They

Even if it were possible To break
the food restrictions the average Brit
Usher has not the slightest desire to
get more 10 eat than his neighbors.
Especially among the British workers
is there nm obvious grim satisfaction
when members of the American labor
mission and speakers tell how ships
are being rushed TO completion in 20
states, and how self-denial by the Brit
ish people in matters of food and luxu-
ries make each ton of maximum value
and effect in prosecuting the war 10 n

The British workers realize that
more than half their food comes from
the United States.
"The less food the more troops Is
the slogan which appeals especially to
the Clyde ship builders. one OF whom
said: IF ships from the United
States are laden as far as possible with
soldiers and ammunition, then every
bolt we drive is AS good as a rifle shot
against the Germans"

astonishing things about this war
that many of the naval officers Of all
countries did not seem to understand.
until very late date, how utterly
futile 1t was to send anti-submarine
surface craft out into the wide ocean
to attack or chase away submarines.
The thing to do, Of course. was to
make the submarines come to the
anti-submarine craft and fight in
order to get merchantmen.
1 have made this point before. and
I now repeat theSexplanation to en-
phasize that the patrol system was
necessarily unsuccessful, because 1t
made almost impossible any combats
with submarines and afforded very
little protection to shipping. The
advantage OF the convoy system, as
It's advocates now urged, was pre-.
cisely that 1t made such combats in
evitable. In other words. 1t meant
offensive warfare. 1t was proposed
to surround each convoy with a pro-
tecting screen of destroyers, precise
ly as in the case of the battle fleet.
Any submarine which attempted to-
torpedo a conveyed ship could. there
fore. do so only In waters that were
infested with destroyers. In order to
get into position to discharge Its
missile the submarine would have to
creep up close to the rim that marked
the circle of these destroyers.
Just as soon as the torpedo started
on it's course and the telltale wake
appeared on the surface the protect
ing ships Immediately would begin
sowing the waters with their depah
charges. Thus the Germans would
have to fight for every ship which
they attempted to sink, instead Of
sinking them conveniently in waters
that were free Of destroyers, as had
hitherto been their privilege. The
great advantage of sailing ships
through waters that were completely
shown in the immune zone which had
been established across the channel
from Dover to Calais and from Folk
stone to Boulogne. BY arranging
ships in compact conveys and protect
ing them with destroyers we would
really create another immune zone
of this kind, only 1t would be a nova
BILE one. We should establish, say. q
square mile of the surface of the
ocean in which submarines could not
operate without great danger, and
then we would move that square
mile along until port was reached.
