European food experts are agreed that the entire world will be brought to the verge of starvation if the war continues two years more. Dr. Maurice Francis Egan United states Minister to Denmark, said here last flight. The Northern European neutrals. Dr. Egan declared, are in dire straits. Food Is so scarce In Denmark that the fam ous Danish wolf hounds are being slaughtered for food.

FUEL SUPPLY IMPROVES Coaling of Ships at New York Is Almost) Back to TS'ormaL NEW YORK. Jan. 27. Steady Im provement in New York's fuel supply, with the coaling of steamships almost back to normal, was reported tonight from the office of A. H. Smith, assistant director-general of railroads. More anthracite Is moving to New Jersey tidewater terminals, it was said. and greater quantities are being dumped each day. Although much heavy ice still chokes the harbor and 24 railroad tugs and 62 privately owned tugs are In drydock for repairs as a result of damage from the floes, only 30 ocean-going vessels now remain to have their bunkers fills. . . i AMSTERDAM, Jan. 27. The German Foreign Secretary, Dr. von Kuehlmann, made a second speech before tne Relchs taar main committee on Saturday, re plying to speakers in tha debate which followed his first explanation on Fri day of the negotiations at Brest-Ll- tovsk. Incidentally he expressed con fldence that the status of the "great free German etate" would appeal to the border peoples and he dealt strong ly with the "Bolshevik policy of ruling by force, as opposed to their profes sions." The secretary continued: "I warmly greet the statements of Dr. David (Socialist leader of the Reichstag), that a representative body of Lithuania has really, been honorably set up and that the representatives of the Lituanian people of all classes cau strive toward the realization of posst bllltles. It has been suggested that we should wait until the end of the war before making extension to other ex isting representative bodies. We work under difficult circumstances in the country in question. The war still con tinues. Ws will. If peace Is reached with Russia, do what can be done in conjunction with the military necessi ties, with a view to bringing about this extension during the war. "Herr Trotzky twice declared In open discussion that our government has no basis other than force. The Bolsheviki maintain themselves by brutal force: their arguments are can non and machine guns. Differences of opinion are settled by their getting rid of their opponents in a radical and satisfactory manner. The Bolsheviki preach beautifully, but practice otherwise. , They have solemnly recognized the Finnish republic They never, disputed the right of that republic to receive diplomatic representatives. When it came to the act of sending representa tives there they created the greatest difficulties. When we have news from Finland we will know that the soldiery Is exercising there- a tyranny worse than existed In ths times of the Czar." Dr.' von Kuehlmann said that conver sations with Poland had been carried on by Germany and Austria for months with zeaL but were not yet ripjf for communication. The statements of Bolsheviki, he re marked, "show that these gentlemen are indulging in another policy than that of concluding an open and hon orable peace with the bourgeois gov ernments of the central powers, which are hated like poison." The Secretary concluded by declar ing that the German government earnestly desired a wise and honorable peace. Possible Food Purchases U. S.

This paper says the statement has caused an enormous sensation, and con firms the belief that Count Czernin's references to the United States were ac tual steps taken to' brlrg about an ex change of views between the western powers and Russia and Germany. Addressing the foreign affairs com mittee of the Reichrath Saturday, Count Czernin, according to an Am sterdam dispatch to the Central News, referred frankly to the differences in the Austrian and German war alms. Germany Wants Her Colonies- He explained that while Germany wanted to get her . colonies back and obviously could not consent to abandon occupied territories before securing guarantees for the restitution of her territories, Austria was, however, dif ferently situated. She stood every where on enemy territory, except in Eastern Galicia. RESALE STRICTLY BARRED Provision Made to Prevent Supplies From Beaching Germany Com missioner 'ansen Expected to Make Early Reply. WASHINGTON, Jan. IT. Norway's requirements In food, raw materials and other necessaries have been deter mined by the War Trade Board, which has supplied Dr. Frldtjof Nansen, the Norwegian commissioner, with a list of the commodities thts country is willing to supply for this year and what Is required of Norway as regards exports to Germany. In making this announcement to night the War Trade Board said the proposed agreement is Intended to op AMSTERDAM. Jan. 2T. The Social ist paper Vorwaerts Joins in the con troversy that has arisen in the German press as to whether Count Czernin's peace invitation to President Wilson was indicative of a break in the Aus-tro-German alliance. Pro-German pa pers think that it is, but Vorwaerts points to the "Weighty" phrase in Von Kuehlmann's speech, "We are in agree ment with Count Czernin" as proving. contrary to the Pan-German assump tion that "Count Czernin's fraternal kiss for Preftirifnt Wilann ror.alv.rl th.

To reach the plant site, the river road, under the north end of the bridge is now used, but steps have already been taken to extend Eleventh street. Sev eral hundred feet east of the main line of the Northern Pacific the street will be diverted to the north, and an under ground crossing is proposed where there will be but two tracks to bridge under. An old building, already on the prop erty, will be used as the temporary office until other quarters can. be built. It is estimated that between 300U and 5000 men will be employed steadily In the steel plant when in full operation. Every available house in the city is now occupied and the Standifer Com pany is obtaining a list of all available vacant rooms in private families in the city for temporary quarters for the men to be employed. Several new apartment houses will be built at once, old hotel buildings are being remodeled and a syndicate has been formed, many vacant lots in the city been bought and bungalows and cottages for workmen will be built and rented or sold to workmen. Vancouver will experience the greatest building; boom in its history, beginning at once. FREE PASSES ARE TABOO McAdoo Also Orders Railroad Politi cal Agents Dismissed. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.

For the rest of this year Norway Is to be allowed approximately 600,000 tons of commodities, including 300,000 tons of bread grains, 50,000 tons of sugar, 14,500 tons of coffee, 10,000 tons of pork and beef, 86,000 tons of oils and fats, 20,000 tons of oil seeds and lesser quantities of cotton, raw yarn and manufactures, wool, lead and starches. Allies Needs Come First. When Norway's requirements of oil cakes, hides and skins and other com moditles are determined, they will be permitted to go forward, due regard first being taken, however; of the needs of the allies and other neutrals. Stocks of imported foodstuffs and other sup- piles In Norway are, when ascertained, to be deducted from the quantities given in the memorandum. The board said it had decided to al low the movement of the commodities set out in the memorandum without waiting to ascertain Norway's needs along other lines, because of the press ing necessity in Norway for foodstuffs and other supplies. Regarding re-exportation to the cen tral powers by Norway, the board says no foodstuffs are to be exported ex cept 48,000 tons of fish and fish prod ucts per annum. Conditions Put oa Fish Export, As fish oil is readily convertible Into an edible fat by admixture with cer tain other oils, such as cottonseed oil, which Norway wants from the United States, the board holds that Norway may not export to the central powers fish or products of fish In any way pre pared with supplies imported from the United States or its associates, and that the export of each class of fish and fish products is to be made In the form of ordinary commercial use of the past So far as the war needs of this coun try permit, Norway will have the neces sary copper and the board agrees to Norway's export of copper to the een tral powers only in compensation for copper received from those powers in manufactured form. - Restrictions are also placed on the exportations of calciums, antimony, tin, nickel and certain ores and alloys. War Shipments Forbidden. The board stipulates that In consid eration of the supplies to be furnished Norway, no material so recognized as Ingredients of munitions and supplies of war ehall be furnished the central powers and that no commodity fur nished by this country shall be sent to Germany or used in ths production of any other commodities which may be exported to the central powers, It is also stated by the board that Norway is not expected to export to any neutral country continguous to the central powers anything which she agrees not to export to the enemies of this country unless she provides by agreement with the neutral country that no commodity so exported shall be re-exported directly or indirectly to the central powers. An early reply from Dr. Nansen is expected by the board. TOTAL OF 60 BROUGHT BACK TO UNITED STATES FROM FRANCE. Fifty-one Enlisted Men. Seven Offi cers and Two Nurses Said to Have "Trench Diseases.'
