FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1918 FROM FOREIGN TRIP Reports England and France iu: Need of Food Supplies Hartford, April 12.—Detailed in- formation concerning the acute food situation in England and France was given here today in a statement made io a reporter by Major Howard A. Giddings, a members of the Connecti- | cut State Council of Defense, who re- turned to Hartford today after an of- | ficial trip to France as a member of | the Liberty Loan mission. Major Gid- | dings left France after the present | offensive had begun, and arrived in | this country on Wednesday. He rep- | resented the state defense couneil and | Governor Marcus H. Holcomb on his | journey. | “Only two ounces of meat times a week pecople Giddings. “Meat is sold or served only upon presentation of a meat card. Travelers and guests at hotels must have cards | end any one attending a dinner or | banquet where meat is Served must | take his meat card with him. The | food situation in England is much | mere serious than America realizes. | “France has planty of meat but svffers from restrictions on other foods. Both countries are on a rigid war bread basis. Butter and sugar are never seen in the best hotels and | restaurants in London. The absence | of butter, sugar and pastry is also | | | four is the allowance given in England,” { H said Major | | | | noticeable throughout France. Fota- toes and fruit are scare and of poor | quality in England and the same is true of the milk. The supply of milk | in France is so limited that it can- | not be served after § a. m. Eggs are plentiful in England but the $1.50 a dozen.” Missed General Pershing. They hoped to see General Pershin at American headquarters, but he wa on a tour with Secretary of War | Baker. [t was their privilege to a great deal of the remarkable worlk | being done by the American troops at | the base camps, where preparations | are being made on a mammoth scalo | for the greater army to come and the | supplies to maintain them. | While in Paris, members of the | mission were received by President | Poincare and Marshal Joffre at the | Palace of the Elysee. Bonar Law, | Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, received and talked with the mission | in London. They o were enter tained by Lord Northcliffe. Consider able time was spent with Sir Kindersley, chairman of the Brit war bond and savings committoe. England and France rely upon tha United States,” Major the intervicwer. ‘It is our job. e have tackled the biggest job in the bistory of the world. It is a case of ga on or go under.” Major Giddings will make a report of his irip to Governor Holcomb and the State Council of Defense and will then devote considerable time speak- ing during the Liberty Loan campalgn under the direction of the New Eng- Jand Liberty Loan committee. Found Public Cheerful. In spite of the alarming shortage in food and the consequent sacrifices demanded of the people of England and France, Major Giddings says he found them cheerful and confident. Their morale is splendid. He and the other members of the Liberty Loan mission are convinced that the piight of America’s Allies is not rea- lized by the American people. Amer- jca, in their opinion, must wake up tio the need for haste, particularly in building ships. “The winning of the war depends upon ships, man and money and upon Lringing them into effective service before it is too late,” was the em- phatic declaration of Major Giddings. Major Giddings left Hartford on January 29, taking with him a special niessage to the Connecticut troops in France from Governor Marcus H. Holcomb. He was unable to visit the state troops because the great offen- sive was just beginning and all per- mits to visit the front lines had been *t as boxing instructor at McGoorty stopped Frankie revoked. However, he forwarded the message to the front by courier. Arrangements for the overseas visit of the Liberty Loan mission were made by Oscar T. Crosby, assistant secretary of the United States treas- ury and president of the Inter-Ally commission on war purchases and finance. The commission has taken cver for its use the Sunderland house, the home of the Duchess of Marl- borough, in London. Under Fire in Paris. While abroad Major Giddings ran the gauntlet of the perils of war. He and other members of the mission were in Paris during the first few | days of the shelling of that city by the Hun’s famous seventy-five mile | gun. During their stay in Paris the city was visited six times by air raid- ers, and 100 people were killed in one of the raids. While in London there were two air raids and 39 people killed in one. The bloodiest battlefields of the war were visited by the American mission. They saw the ruination and desolation at Messenes Ridge, Yyres, Arras, Bapaume and Peronne. They walked over the famous battleground of the Somme since wrested from th British in the greatest battle of all | bistory. They saw a great deal of | the French front and spent two nights in the citadel of Verdun which has gtood like the Rock of Gibraltar against the onslaught of the Teuton ivaders.
