Hugh Gibson Says Governor Gen

SPIRIT REMAINS UNBROKEN
Stupid Proclamations of German Com
manders Cause Much Amusement
Among Belgians—Says Stories
of Atrocities Are All True.
I
New York.—Up to the entrance of
the United States in the war against
Germany, approximately 85.000 Bei- .
giau civilians had been shot, taken ,
into Germany ns prisoners, or fined for «
offending the German authorities in I
Belgium in various ways, according to !
Hugh Gibson, former secretary of the j
American legation at Brussels and at
present chief of the division of foreign !
Intelligence of the state department, i

the*sufferiugs of'the Belgians and the !
irrepressible anti buoyant spirit of the
people, which, lie said, lias not been
quenched by the Teuton invaders.
The stupid proclamations of the Ger
man commandants posted daily and
oftencr on tlit* buildings and hoardings
of the streets of Belgian cities caused
tlie population considerable amuse
ment at first, Mr. Gibson said, until
It was announced from German head
quarters that any one seen laughing
arotlhd an official bulletin would be se
verely punished. Thereafter persons i
reading the bulletins would muffle
themselves up in neckcloths that con
cealed half their faces and laugh to
themselves.
All the Belgian newspapers were
suppressed, and the population re
ceived its news from publications is
sued by tlie Germans, which told of
their military victories, Mr. Gibson de
clared.
Papers Published Secretly.
"In spite of this fact, tlie Belgians,
under tlie very nose of the governor
general, published clandestine newspa
pers," lie continued. "The governor
general would get his copy regularly. ;
Sometimes he found it under his plate, 1
sometimes it came into his home with
the vegetables, sometimes it was ;

Washington.—Only tlip very poor,
and men and women doing tie* hardest
kind of manual labor, may have more
than seven ounces of war bread a day
in France from now on, the United
States food administration lias been
advised by tlie French government.
The entire French wheat crop lias
been requisitioned by tlie government.
This sacrifice has been accepted by
the French people uncomplainingly t>n

by such restriction can American re

that otherwise would carry grain for

grain for French bread can come from

Saving of Grain.
Agricultural Department Suggests Tu
bers Be Given More Prominent
Place in Luncheons.
eating of more
Washington.—The
potatoes for supper, or for lunch
if the family is accustomed to have
nor at night, is a suggestion of
the
United States department of agricul
ture, in order that the tremendous crop
of tubors produced in the l nited
States this year may tie utilized as
fully as possible and spoilage avoided.
Such increased use should, at tlie same
time, bring about a saving of grain,
since one common result of eating
more potatoes is the eating of less
wheat bread, which is a reasonable
sumption of bread by
people.
"These extremely severe measures,"
said the French statement, "especially
the seven ounces u day, have deeply
impressed public opinion.
Men who are very poor or who do
hard manual labor get about 21 ounces
of bread a day; women who are very
poor or who are employed on hard
work get about 17 ounces a day; every
one else gets seven ounces, which is
♦ess than half of a pound loaf, or not
more than four <«r five slices.
This bread is made of flour compris
ing all tin* elements of wheat except
bran, with a heavy admixture of flour
from other cereal grains, which is
obligatory.
The price of bread is fixed by vari
ous government agencies all along the
line between producer and consumer.
Baking of pastry or biscuits from
floU r that is fit for bread is prohibited.
Confectioneries and other suc.i simps
are dosed two days a week. Eating
pastries in public is forbidden.
Good advice is the kind you remem
ber too late that you forgot to take.

SCOTCH SCOUTS AID NAVY, 1
Boy scouts are ai ling as dispatch
bearers in tin* north of Scotland, and
without any officers watching them, but
working simply under their own hoy
loaders, they are doing their patriotic
duty, said Lieut. Gen. Badeii-I'owell
recently.
"Every night without fail." he con
tinued, "these hoys have carried dis
patches along that wild coast down to
tin* admiral at the base, and they do
about six miles every night. 1 saw
the one hundred and nineteenth mes
sage go down. It is wonderful how
ihese boys face difficulty and danger
simply from a sense of duty."
SCOUTS ARE NICHT POLICE.
A large number of burglaries having
occurred at Pecan Gap, lex., and there
being a large amount >f cotton stored
ther<*. ill«* railroad company and the
business men employed a local troop of
bov scouts t*i police the town.
('ots were placed in the depot for
tlie scouts to sleep upon while not on
duty. Four -coûts are* on duty every
night, and there is not an hour that
passes without the streets being pa
trolled.
Pecan Gup scouts occupy a unique
position and are rendering effective
