Supplies have been irregular in the
recent past.
Wartime food control is being main
tanned by the government in spite Of
a court decision that supervisory
powers lapsed when the peace treaty
with Germany was ratified. Congress
will be asked to pass laws controlling
exports and to take other steps which
will prevent higher cost Of necessities
and foodstuffs. Stringent measures
against profiteers are also contem-
plated.

Of the class. It is not generally
known that rabbits in order to thrive
the best, must be handled gently,
never startled, and allowed to live
in peace and comfort.
Perhaps we are not suffering from
high prices as much as we think. We
are in the habit Of buying the best
cuts Of meat which can be quickly
prepared. and in consequence our
meat bills are something scandalous.
When we are really hungry we will
eat rabbits and be glad that we were
hungry. Rabbit meat or "venison" is
all white and juicy, and IL, in fact,
superior to any chicken, however pre-
pared.
Rabbits can be fed more cheaply
than any other animal. A pound of
rabbit meat can be raised at a food
cost Of but cents. The cost Of rails
ing other meat Is set as follows by
the bureau Of animal industry:
Frying chickens, 11.5 cents; steer
beef. o. cents pork. 1875 cents; NUT.

Rabbits also exceed any other AMI
NAL in rapidity Of development. They
will breed at seven to eight months
old in 81 days. while the period OF

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
GERMANY, Jan 22.-(Delayed)-
quiet rumors evidently in circulation
that there is considerable friction be-
tween the American and French
armies. some incidents. from which
such feeling might have arisen,
are presented.
Undeniably. there was some feel
ing for time on the part of the
men Of the Third army, but 1t orig
mated from minor causes and has
entirely disappeared now. Publica-
ton of some of the incidents from
which this feeling started will do
more than anything else to halt
exaggerated reports.
As the Third army reached the
banks Of the Rhine, there was a sud
lden change in orders from the allied
high command by which French
TROOPS came up and occupted the
southern portion OF the bridgehead.
This necessitated much shifting about
| of the American troops and caused
several divisions to march thtrty-Six
miles farther to reach the new areas
assigned to them. 1t also deprived
men of the Third and Forty-second
divisions of the honor of crossing
the Rhine. Naturally the men were
dissatisfied, inasmuch as it caused
much extra labor and marching.
The French apparently were under
the impression that the Americans
should enforce regulations which the
French themselves had put into
effect. For instance when a French
regiment marched through Coblenz
and was reviewed by General Dick
man, several French officers ~circu-
lated through the crowds Knocking
of the hats Of German civilians as
the colors passed and when the
American national anthem was play
ed. The Americans had promulgated
no regulation regarding civilians re-
moving their hats when the colors
passed and some of the Third army
offlcers disapproyed of the procedure.
Then, human like, the American
soldiers recalled petty personal Incl
dents in France such as overcharging
which could occur anywhere and other
small affairs that were inevitable.
This added to the feeling Of dissatfs-
faction Other incidents cropped out,
mostly the outgrowth Of misunder-
standings. But within week or two
this feeling subsided and little OF 1t
can now be discerned.
On the whole, it was what might
be expected in any army lying dor
mant. Soldiers are notorious grumb-
| lers, and kicking about anything and
everything is one of the American
doughboys' most priced prerogatiyes.
When not cussing the mess ser
