Flll]ll SITUATION IN GERMANY SERIOUS Conldn't Be Worse, Controller for Prussia Asserts Lendon, March 9.—Dr. Goam Mi- chaelis, the Prussian food controller, made in the Prussian Diet what the Cologne Gasette calls a serious spesch on the food situation, says a Rmur h from Amsterdam. Dr. Michaelis stated that the dis- tress was such that a more severe state of things, especially in the large industrial centers, could hardly be im- agined. He indicated the possibility that all surplus stocks of grain would be exhausted, and said that very rad- ioal measures were needed to enable the people to hold out until next year. “We have discovered in the third: year of the war,” the food controller is quoted as saying, “that among all sections. of the people the general feeling evidenced: is not one of that [arance for which we had hoped. is human nature, but it ig highly deplorable and may have most seri- ous results. 2 ‘““We have not percelved in the towns that stern supervision which is | absolutely necessary in' the distribu- tion of foodstuffs. There has been ‘| widespread abuse of bread tickets, en- Dehbts of 1870. ‘Paris,, March 9.—Dfiscussion of the pay the ocontributions -levied them, while: the city of Amiens, fined a million francs during the short oc- cupation of 1914 has not yet finished | tailing grave cornsequences as re- sards our stock. Bread tickets have been illegally used oii-such a shock- ing scale that our entire reserves were exhausted. So when potatoeg fatled and bread was ordered as a substitute, there was none available. Flour has been similarly, reduced, owing to sim- {lar irregularities in the mills.” Dr. Michaelis concluded by urging the utmost severity to remedy the shortcoming while there was not y. time. Some of the mills would hav: to be closed and the municipaliti deprived of their autonomous powers. Rationing and requisitfoning must be strictly applied with respect to egss, milk butter, fruit, and vegetables. He went on: “We are confronted with the thought of what would happen if this ‘measure also should fail, and what erim ition there would be if sud- denly during the closiig months of the economic year we should find thers was insufficlency and we could not hold out. The ensuing misery would be indescribable.” The speech caused a sensation, and the sociallst, Hufer, who followed, ac- cording to the Rhenisch Westphalian Gaszette, asserted that the junkers WF‘ to blame if a famine re 182 SOUTH MAIN STREEI' !2;?;;;;5 1 1H RICS .. .c0c0e Soap ......100 ‘Washing essssceccces 8O ‘?,1355"' J.

He referred to the critical situation caused by the partial success of the Entente’s plan of starving Germany, and added: “For the small bread ration 'one. can only make the Almighty respon- sible, who has not given us the har- vest we expected.’ TO EXPLORE MINERAD BEDS.

' New York, March 9.—Higher wages' pild satlors on American‘as compared to Hmnglish merchant ships will handi- cap this country at:the close of the war in its competition with, England for commercial supremacy of the seas, according to Dr. George Sidney Web- ster of the American Seamen’s Friend saciety, Dr. Webster’s opinions are -based on observation in a number of American ports and especially in the port of New York where a large Sallor's Home is maintained on the North river waterfront. “The increased merchant ship pro- duction in this country,” says Dr. Webster, “will_not of itselt give the United States a commercial suprem- acy of the seas, although in 1918 the output for probably the first time in history approximated that of Great/ Britain. “This increased production will not ; entirely fly under the American flag. but even a large percentage of the ships whi¢h should be under American Wills be under foreign {1 thy of the war, when & the lower wages paid on foreign m will offer'a great inducentent 2 foreign registry.” MUST TALK spam o Mexico City, March 9.—Concessions now being given by the government in many instances'make it obligatory to - employ Mexican labor and prohibit: the use of any language other than Spanish in the conducting of the pub- lc affairs of the company-granted concession. .The concession granted the Compania Ferro del Vale, Pampico, Panuco Limitadh to construct a railroad from Kl to Tampico, provides Merlcany™ must be employed, used on all the ston of any other stations named by 1 <o bear names of pure Mexican i m ’wm the ‘a@vocacy of the 0{ General Carranza for and’ General Salvadore Al- governor of the state.
