KING THANKS GOD The asemblage that gathered in iron i oi uucKingnam raiace was nearly as great as that which greeted the Prime Minister at his home. Speaking from the palace balcony King George said: "With you I rejoice. Thank God for the victories which the Allied armies have won and which have brought hostilities to an end. Peace is within sight." The Lord Mayor, speaking from the front of the Mansion House, said: "Let ug not foget that there is still work for every loyal and patriotic cit izen in the reconstruction and many other problems which must arise." , At the Admiralty Sir Eric Geddes man best qualified to deal with the task of preserving the balance of pow er of the labor supply without delay ing demobilization operations. Officials pointed out today that with the ending of hostilities there will be a great resumption of private con struction and manufacturing held up and restricted because of war work, and that thousands of skilled laborers soon will be needed in all parts of the country for this work. Secretary Baker said today that ev ery phase of demobilization of the army is being carefully studied by War Department agencies, but as yet no plans have been finally formulated. The question of the number of American troops to be retained in France or elsewhere in Europe is be ing studied on that side, Mr. Baker said, while the General Staff is pre paring recommendations as to the number to be kept under ai ms in this country. The problem in Europe re mains one of joint operations with the called for three cheers for Vice Ad miral Beatty (Commander of the Grand Fleet) and these were given with great fervor.

British, Ital ians, French and Canadians have a training ration and a trench, or com paign, ration, the latter, of course, being higher in energy value than the former, according to an article in the Central magazine. American troops use the same ration throughout the service. Whether the soldier Is in a cantonment or In a trench, his food is equally abundant, the only differ ence being that the list of substitute foods In France is not so extensive as in the tralningcamp here.Inboth cases the United States ration possesses more energy value than any of the foreign trench or campaign or combat rations. "The Italian ration allowance Is three thousand and three hundred calories daily. This is now, as far as we know, higher than the German army ration. Next In the upward scale Is the French ration of three thousand and six hundred cal ories; then the British of four thou sand and three hundred calories; i- on top of all our American soldier's daily allowance of from four thou sand and six hundred to five thou sand calories. "But these figures, after all, mean little: for neither the British nor the American soldiers come anywhere near consuming their allowances. In fact. Including the waste, high as If Is, the American soldier can get awav with only three thousand and nine hundred calories daily in the messes that have been analyzed, while his net consumption amounts to only thrf thousand six hundred and thirty-five calories per day. "The American soldier, however, gets much more meat than his British comrade, a pound and a quarter a dav against the Britisher's pound, and in that rcnect the American fares the best In the world, because meat Is th most appetizing of foods."
