WAR FIJ-M 1 The Picture That Dispels Fear 'OUR BRIDGE OF SHIPS" AN AMAZING PICTORIAL RECORD THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY LIBERTY THEATRE WASHINGTON. Sept- 9 Ger many is not on the verge of starva tion, Ira Nelson Harris. American minister to Sweden said today, in re minding the American people, that every energy must be put into the war. Mr. Mcrris said his statement re garding the food situation was based on many reports from reliable sources, "which had reached him at Stockholm. It was vrompted by many published reports regarding conditions in the , German empire. which had come to his attention since he recently returned to tha United States. "There can be no question' the minister said, "that there is a hrrt- age of most of (he essentials ot life. but to state that this borders on tne verge of starvation is erroneous and misleading. There is no doubt that In many parts of Germany, there Is a marked scarcity of food and that the civilian population has been re duced to minimum rations, but still receives sufficient foo4. for existence. Conditions are better. n the rural districts, particularly-.as regards the rarmers and land owners, even in the northern part of Germany where the scarcity is most' felt. 5 , In th southern part conditions ' Improve Hill more and resorts and hotels there still serve meals at moderate prices.
