REFUGEES FLEE CLAD
IN ALL THEIR FINERY

British Headquarters in France,
April 1.?The French refugees
of the better class, of those
w ho are departing from the zones of
actual operation, are coming out
clad in all their finery, which represents
the styles of four or five years
ago. Then there are sturdy peasauts
with wooden shoes and clumsy
V constructed clothes, riding in vehicles
drawn by horses or donkeys or in
carts pushed by men, and some are
even in wheelbarrows. Upon these
queer transports are stacked strange
* assortments of personal belongings.
I'here is deep pathos in all this but
none struck the correspondent- more
forcibly than thp n nnun rn neo "
tiny girl who trudged in her wooden
shoes along a hard dusty road, her
eyes fastened anxiously upon a dirty
rag doll perched precariously on the
top of household effects which were
heing rushed along by an old man.
From the Soinine.
These refugees are from the towns
within the Somme battlefield and adjoining
it. All these villages have
been emptied of their inhabitants.
Some of the places, stripped of their
population once before during the
battle of the Somme in 1916, had
gradually filled up again during the
peaceful days of British occupation.
The shell-shattered fields had once
more been put to the plough and
when the correspondent only recently
toured the old region he found
hundreds of acres of land under cultivation,
and affairs in many hamlets
were proceeding almost as though
there were no war.
It seems unbelievable that these
pleasant little valleys and wooded
elevations are again in the possession

of the enemy, and that the cottages
stand empty.
In to far as It was possible everything
which might have been of use
to the Germans has been removed by
the refugees. In particular large
numbers of cattle have been taken
away by the owners, who patiently

Hut Few Tears.
( While it Is a sad spectacle, these
i people moving away with their few
household possessions and their dogs
J and their cattle, there are few tears
j or hysterical outbreaks among the
refugees, most of whom are of the
peasant class. They know they must
' go and they seem to be trusting implicitly
in the British, but the uisery
in their eyes as they turn from all
they love to a world (hey do not
know is touching. Aged women
clinging to the hands of little grandchildren,
men stooped with /years,
youths and maidens?all fall into a
picture such as only war or some
other great catastrophe can produce
and every detail in this endless cinematograph
is of absorbing interest.

From time to time the Food Ad
.miiioiiauuii mis given the people of
this state various rules and regulations,
issued by the authorities in
Washington. Just at this moment
the chief drive is to conserve wheat.
The authorities in Washington are
trying 10 make a voluntary saving,
but if the American people do not
respond, more drastic measures may
have to be taken. The Food Administration
has worked out the best
plan after careful study and closely
watching results, and have notified
the food administrators throughout
the country that they are required to
enforce as best they can the following
rules:
"First. Householders to use not
to exceed a total of one and one-half
pounds per week of wheat products
per person. This means not more
ihun 1 1 **
uhc ou? mree-iourths pounds of
Victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and
about one-half pound of cooking
flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry,
pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals
all combined.
"Second. Public eating houses
and clubs to observe two wheatless
tlays per week, Monday and Wednesday.
as at present. In addition
thereto not to serve in the aggregate
total of more breadstuffs, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, % cakes, wheat
of more than two ounces of wheat
flour to any one guest at any one
meal. No wheat products to be
served unless especially ordered.
Public eating establishments not to I
Duy more than six pounds of wheat
products per month per guest thus
conforming with limitations reluested
of the householders.
"Third. Retailers to sell not
nore than one-eighth of a barrel of
lour to any town customer at any
>ne time and not more than one- 1
luarter of a barrel to any country 1
ustomer at any one time, and in no t
ase to sell wheat products without |
:ale of an equal weight of other ce- (
eals.
"Fourth. We ask the bakers and

proportions in other
weights. We also ask bakers not to

Hour purchased beyond seventy per
cent of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prioi
to March lirst.
"Fifth. Manufacturers using j
wheat products for non-food purposes I
should cease such use entirely,
'"Sixth. There is no limit upon
s<
the use of other cereals, flours and .
meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato
flour, etc. Many thousand families
throughout the land are now
using no wheat products whatever, ^
except a very small amount for
cooking purposes and are doing so
in perfect health and satisfaction r"
There is no reason why all of the "
American people w ho are able to cook
in their own households cannot sub- 01
sist perfectly well with the use of "
less wheat products than one and ''
one-half pounds a week, and we es- p
pecially ask the well to do households
in the country to follow this Ci
additional program in order that we
may provide the necessary marginal d
supply for those parts of the com- P

selves to so large a proportion of <i
substitutes. In order that we shall a
be able to make the wheat exports e
that are absolutely demanded of us v
to maintain the civil population and i<
soldiers of the allies and our own si
army, we propose to supplement the o;
voluntary eo-operation of the public
by a further limitation of distribu- si
tions, and we shall place at once re- w
strictions on distribution which will p
be adjusted from time to time to se- tc
cure as nearly equitable distribution ei
as possible. With the arrival of c<
harvest we should be able to relax ii
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice (
and co-operation of the distributing
trades."
