FOOD IS SCARCE IN GERMANY There Is Said In lie landless ;rnff in the J-'cmhI Pistribuliou and I ho Conditions are (raduatly ; rowing Worse. (Ily Curl V. Ackerman). PAUIS, Feb. 1G. Henna ny is un der nourished and the food and eco nomic conditions are growing stead ily worse. There is endless graft in the food distribution plans, and transportation problems are increas ing. General Hindenbcrg considers that the people, concentrated as a whole in the nation, has materially strengthened the army. A million women are being organized to work in the industries to enable additional men to enlist. Americans leaving Ilerlin have received thousands of re quests for food. A German physi cian asked an American family to pay for his services in food instead of money. The police are powerless to halt grafting, many influent ial Hermans being the greatest offend ers. The dealers are interchanging wares, and magistrates' friends get extra food cards, while many other food cards are stolen. The recent cold spell destroyed quantities of po tatoes and apples. Many schools, large offices and public buildings closed on account of the coal famine. Food Hints in Holland. THK IlACUi:, Feb. 16. Serious food riota occurred in front of the IJoyal Palace last night. Workmen staged a demonstration in front of the Queen's residence and the minis terial buildings. The police repeat edly charged the mob. The food situ ation has reached a crisis in Holland and officials fear more serious out breaks unless tho government can remedy conditions. The blockade is responsible. liiltnin Ts Satisfied.

Horn during the heat of a war in which tho United Stales gained freedom of Au seas, James Raft, af this city, to ,iay celebrated his JoSth birthday with the Nation under the shadowing cloud of an impending war which, if it comes, will be brought about by An- same causes as the war of 1912. Should hostilities occur as a result of the present Ftate of affairs be tween the United States and Ger many, he will have seen Great Britain changing from the role of m-my to that of ally of the United States in conflict against a common enemy. Mr. Haft has seen the United States at war upon four different oc casions; he knows war both from the j standpoint of the soldier and that of i"the obi folks at home." He realizes I the horror and terrors of It and is an 'ardent advocate of international ' pt ace. yet he is a staunch supporter of President Wilson and his policy in the present crisis. I From early boyhood Mr. Haft's life ' has been that of a pioneer, a life of hardship and adventure.

Therefore it eetns that the railroad from Kose- burc to Uoos Day is out of the fjties-j tiuii. Unless it is built as a feeder I for the Southern Pacific or oth-T . large system, I believe it will not be I constructed." Mr. IMchardson read a letter to this effect from Henry A. i Lardru r. of New York, vice-president ; of the .1. G. White Co., one of the' largest financial institutions in the : country. Then Mr. Richardson, wno i is one of the city's best boosters, concluded : 'The only real solution for lieseburc to build its own railroads and aid the development of tho;'e projects which It believes nat oral and warranted. Small line should radiate into the outride ditrict. It w,( a mistake that the city uulblded ov-r a technicality with Mr. Kendall. Y-t the line to Hock Creek still rnav be built.
