British Food Drive Example
Which U. S. May Soon Follow
By W. V. Getty,
(United Frai Huff Cormpondenl)
LONDON, May 3. Appealing to

enlist ill his army, "General" Ken
' ncdy Jones, director of food economy,
luts inaugurated bis spring campaign
'against starvation with tho vigor that
I characterized his previous successful
battles for England's cause,
"Women are the food buyers and
tho food proparers ot tho nation,"
I Jones said, "and I look to them to de
feat tho present mcnaco ot the sub
marine blockade by perventing cx
travugance In any form."
As England faces fur greater dan
ger from tho threatened shortage of
food than from the Central Powers
on any battlefield, tho country wo
men have been called to a battle
which Is certain to have as decisive
an effect on the outcome of the war
as any "push" against the German
tronchos by tholr brothers at the
front. '
To tho woll-to-do, the general made
his first appeal.
"Leave bread, moot, sugar and po
tatoes for tho poor" Is his original
suggestion. "There nro many ex
pensive substitutes the rich can af
ford, but It Is nocessnry that the
food on which the working' classes
depend be supplied them.
Kennedy Jones la the Bquare-jawed
man ot whom Bonnr-Law, after the
roennt Wln-the-War loan achieved
success, Bald: "To this man, per
haps more than any other, the suc
cess ot tho loan was duo." No coun
try has even seen such an advertis
ing campaign as tho one which was
the causa of bringing hordes of gold
tumbling Into England's coffers from
all ovor the land, and Joiiob person
ally had charge ot this campaign.
Whon the loan period explrod,
England could not afford to lot such

ject, the country at large goes on
eating, almost all it can get.
"I am enlisting the women on my
side," was the new director-general's
first statement "to the public. "If
every one will loyally observe Lord
Devonport'B directions for household
rations (4 pounds of bread per per
son, 2 V& pounds of meat, and
pound of sugar) the food supplies
will be maintained."
. This is the most encouraging news
on this Bubject England has beard
In many a day.
"But " Jones continued, "there
must be ho dodging the restrictions."
The ministry of food has divided
Its nation-wide campaign Into tour
sections:
Obtaining supplies and maintaining
stocks;
Equitable distribution;
Restricting consumption by a ser
ies of rations, carefully considered
with rogard to every Interest; und
The teaching of economy and
bringing home to the people its urg
ent necessity. .
For the present, Jones announced,
ho will direct his energies toward ac
complishing .the fourth duty.
"I look to every man and woman
to support me," -he said. "If they
will do so, there will be no need for
food tickets, or family books, which
will entail an Infinity of trouble and
the creation ot an undeslrible of
ficialdom. "We shall try to do without any
fresh orders excepting as regards
hotels, restaurants and clubs, the
proprietors and mnnagers of which
have askod the food controller to lay
down definite rules for their guid
Tim y i mi '", ' i
ance and to treat all alike.
"There Is no Intention at present
of Interfering with the sale ot sim
ple sweets and It would not be just
to ruin a number ot small shop
koopors, mostly women. There will
be quite enough sugar for the chil
dren, If adult consumers will keep
tholr three quarters of a pound per
week.
"A movement Is on foot to estab
lish public kitchens In several dis
tricts. But If the rich will give frlst
consideration to the noodB of the
poor, and It everyone will faithfully
observe Lord Dovlonport's Instruc
tions, there will be no need tor drast
ic action."

BLANCHARD LEAVES AFTER,
BUYING SPRINGER RANCH
PEOPLE BALKED IN ATTEMPT
TO NAME HIS SUCCESSOR.
County Judge Springer, of Crook
county, has removed the previous
grounds of criticism against him,
namely, that he was a resident ot Jef
ferson county, but citizens of Prlne
vllle have found a new cause for
complaint, according to Paul C. Gar
rison, .who returned last night from
the Crook county seat. The resigna
tion of Commissioner Blanchard, and
the refusal of Judge Springer to vote
with Commissioner Luthy for Joseph
Lister, a rancher of Crooked river,
to fill the vacancy, is the fresh basis
for attack.
Commissioner Blanchard gave up
his position Tuesday, because he had
purchased Judge Springer's ranch In
Jefferson county, and was unwilling
to continue to hold office as a non
resident, so the story goes. The at
tack and threats of recall made ear
lier against the county judge, had
boen based on this stime Jotforson
county ranch.
Prinevllle sentiment was strong
tor the appointment ot Mr. Lister,,
but Judge Springer unexpectedly re
fused to do this, and a petition was
being gotten up last night, as a
means of causing the Judge to re
consider his decision. '
