 Americans,' French Are Told
 PARIS, August 18.-At this time when Americans are urged to con sume more wheat products so that the farmers may get a better price, a campaign has been launched here to induce the Frenchman to eat less bread.
 The more bread you eat the more dollars you make for the Americans and the lower the franc falls" is the slogan of the campaign.
