All the troubles of the kaiser and his aids are not confined to the Soise sons-Reims sector, as is indicated by the reports of food crops in Germany, which are reaching officials of the United States governmeat. In the south and west of Germany favorable conditions prevail due chiefly to rains and intensive cultivation. In middle Germany, however, and | especially in Mechlenburg and Pom- erania, the dry weather has curtailed or destroyed the vegetable crops, and importation of foodstuffs from other | parts of the empire already have been found necessary, To complicate the situation in the drought ridden areas, plagues of in- sects have attacked the potato crop and all but destroyed it. The cab- bage crop has suffered heavily in this respect, too, In some sectlons. of Germany an excellent fruit crop is reported, while (n other parts it Is only mediocre and scarcely sufficient to meet the needs of the civilian population dur- ing the summer months. Soldiers Harvest in Russia. “In the face of the shortage Ger- many is sending soldiers equipped with thrashing machines tnto the Rus- sian grain country, harvesting the crops and taking what she desires, usually all, and giving the peasants little.

An official of the military sys- tem occupying a position correspond: ing to local food director is determin- ing the proportion of each garden and vegetable crop which the producers may keep for their own use and the part which must be sent into the eitiés for consumption there or canned for transportation to the front. One of the severe hardships to which the German civilian population is being subjected is in the shortage ofsoap. Inability to obtain caustic oda and other ingredients used in soap making virtually has ended the supply for cilivian use. » DEATH DREAM TRUE Sergeant Wegner Was Killed In an Accident. * A-vivid dream in which she saw her foster son, Sergt.
