ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS m
George and Queen Elizabeth,
day as regards butter, sugar,
Government control will be i'm
posed on the purchase, slaughter
and distribution of meat next
week as a preliminary to meat
rationing probably this month.
Under the wartime ration plan
which became effective at mid
night each person in Great Britain
may buy four ounces of butter,
II ounces of sugar and four ounces
of bacon and ham a week.
KING, QUEEN INCLUDED
King George and Queen Eliza
beth will use travellers " ration
cards so that they can get their
allowance at Buckingham palace,
Windsor castle outside London, or
Sandringham, their private estate
in Norfolk. They are identical
with the cards issued to travelling
statesmen.
Rationing was the fourth mo-
mentous measure in Britain's mo-
bilization and conservation of its
man power and resources. The
others were the national air raid
blackout, evacuation of women and
children from air raid target areas,
and CONSUMPTION.
ACCEPTED WITH HUMOR
The rationing was accepted
with the humorous grumbling
characteristic of the Briton. Its
'Itler." said the Cockney.
II was insisted officially tina,
the German submarine and mine
campaign had nothing to do with
the imposition Of rationing, and il
was pointed out that limitation OF
food consumption was envisaged
before the war started.
1t was a conservation measure
such as other countries, belliger-
ents and neutrals alike, had taker
or were preparing to take for the
duration of a war in which the
outstanding of every ounce of po-
tential energy was regarded as q
war winning necessity.
ITALY DISTRIBUTES CARDS
Neutral Italy began distributing
food ration cards Sunday in prep
aration for rationing at a momen;
TO be decided by Premier Benito
Mussoiini. Germany had been on
strict rations as regards every
thing, including clothing, since
the war started.

vent on war time rations Mon
ham and bacon.
Holland was on rations as re-
CARDS sugar and peas, and ration
ing of brown beans and kerosene
was expected next week.
People in neighboring Belgium
have ration cards, but rationing
has not started. Sugar and coffee
were rationed in Norway; sugar,
coffee, tea and gasoline in Dem
mark, with the possibility of coal,
coke and bread rationing on the
way; gasoline in Sweden.
COFFEE Is RATIONED
Hungary and Bulgaria have two
meatless days each week.
Finland, despite its war with
Russia, rations only coffee and
sugar.
When meat is rationed in Eng
land it is proposed to exempt
rabbits, poultry. game. fish, liver,
hearts, kidneys, tongue, tripe,
sausages, Drawn, meat pies and
meat pastes.
Housewives will be allowed
three pounds of sugar for every
two pounds of fruit they use for
marmalades and jams. Ten pounds
of sugar will be allotted at neces-
sary intervals for every colony of
bees.
RUMORS FLY ABOUT
All sorts of reports flew about
as the rationing started. It was
said that there had been a great
increase in the slaughter of cattle,
pigs, sheep and poultry because of
feed shortage, with the result
that eventually shortage of milk.
butter, eggs, bacon, ham and beef
might be expected; that beer
might be weakened or even ra-
toned TO conserve grain.

ii ERE'S MORE ABOUT
Nippon S New Move

Gated that the Japanese intended
to press ahead as rapidly as pos
sible with their campaign TO end
the war with China and extend
their influence southwark toward
French Indo-C China and the Dutch
East Indies as a result of European
Developments. including Britains
offer TO cut off supplies to China
over the Burma road.
On the European and African
war fronts. the aerial war con-
tinued probably with far greater
damage to both sides than was
reported by dispatches coming
through the censorship.
British attacks on German bases
TO whittle down the striking
power OF the Nazi air force con-
tinued with considerable success,
according to London. For a
month now, the Royal Air Force
has been dropping tons Of high
explosives on German bases in the
reich. Belgium, Holland, Norway
and France. The Germans re-
peatedly have reported that they
suffered no important military
damage but that civilians were
killed in various towns.
Causes Much Damage
II would seem certain that Ger
man aerial bombardment of the
British Isles has caused far more
damage than admitted at London.
The Nazi high command reported
today that German planes had
bombed such crowded and inn
portant points as Plymouth, Car.
diff, Brighton and Pembroke to
blast at factories and communica-
tons lines.
In addition. the Germans re-
ported that three more British
merchantmen totalling $4,000 tons
were sunk and five others damaged
in the English channel yesterday
while q U-boat sank a g,000-tor
tanker in a convoy. The British
admitted that ~ ships totallinl
114,137 tons were sunk in the weef
ending July 7.
The British have shown incress
ing defiance rather than weakness
TO such threats and TO suggestions
such az the Italian editor Virgini'
Gayda made. that Britain mus
either submit or suffer n shatter
ing attack.
Rumor Peace Moves
In this connection there wer,
new rumors of peace move
apparently as part OF the total
tartan war of nerves--but II seem
ed unlikely that Germany woul'
make any peace gesture at tim
when it had been rejected in ad
vance by London and when tn
British could exploit such an off
to build up fighting spirit in thei
own country.
