CRAVE FOR WHITE BREAD

Americans in Paris Envy United States' Soldiers Home-Baked War Ration. Paris.—The decision that real white bread is to be furnished the United States troops now encamped in France has awakened a feeling of envy and a craving of appetite among Americans living in Paris. For months they hgve been eating the dark, heavy war bread, and, as the English say R are quite “fed up on it.” An American hostess who -was giving a small dinner recently wished to give her guests a treat. She arose at five o’clock in the morning to get to the one place in central Paris where white bread is procurable before the limited supply was exhausted. She paid 10 cents for a tiny loaf the size of the ordinary 6-cent loaf in New York, and It occupied the place of honor on her table that evening.
