HUNGER WILL
CONQUER GERMANY
Prof. Richet Predicts a
Clamor in 5 Months, Due
TO Fear of Want.
lBy Gable to The Tribune. :

Paris, Sept. 21-According to Pro-
lessor Charles Richet, of the French
Academy, it will be only five months
before Germany, for want of food, will
be compelled to sue Tor peace. In a
letter 10 lie Figaro" the famous peace
advocate, who won a Nobel prize, sets
forth the following reasons for this
belief:
From various calculations, which all
result in the same figures, | have
reached the conclusion that Germany,
separated as she is from the outside
world by the suppression of all mari
time commerce, finds on her own soil
food for nine months only.
ut would, however, be a great error
to suppose that we must count nine
months (starting from August i be-
fore Germany will be compelled by
famine alone to sue for peace. And
this is so for the following reasons:
"First-Because a complete harvest,
without waste and damage as in times
Of peace, cannot be counted upon.
"Second-Because there can be no
equal distribution of the fooC supply
throughout Germany. 1t is absurd to
assume such distribution. Will not
the more prosperous families lay in
larger stocks OF provisions? Is u not
likely that some regions Will store
foodstuffs, to the detriment of others Z?
The distribution will necessarily be
unequal. II half Of the population
secures provisions for q year the other
half will not have enough for half a
year.
"Third-Finally, the fear Of hunger
is IS terrible as hunger itself. Is it
possible that Germany's millions will
wait until the last hour to realize that
they no longer have bread? Long be-
fore the granaries are emptied terror
will be spreading everywhere.
Therefore, if Germany actually has
food for nine months, morally she has
food for only five months In five
months a whole people, affrighted and
famished, will come to learn that il Is
not safe to abandon its destinies to
monster"

RHEIMS REPORTS
BRIEF IN BERLIN

Berlin, Sept. 21.-The news Of the
bombardment of Rheims reached the
Public here briefly through the morn
ing papers, but no other details were
printed concerning the battle. Men
ton was made of three places-Noyon,
Rheims and Brimont.
1t is a difficult task, therefore, for
the correspondents to furnish Ameri-
cans with other than a brief local view
point.
This is appreciated by Theodore
Wolff, who, in the "Berliner Tage-
blatt," regrets the hard military neces-
sity whereby the brief German reports
are swamped by columns of descriptive
matter from the other side, and which
render almost futile the attempts OF
other organizations to convey the
truth abroad"
The first train, carrying 500 English
women and children, left here for Hol-
land this morning. The PARTY was in
charge of Lieutenant Edward &.
B!akeslee, of the United States cruiser

Petrograd, Sept 21.-Specialists here
estimate that the extreme limits OF
Austro- German resources IN men Tor
this war do not exceed 6,OOOOOO, about
two-thirds being German and the other
third Austrian.
The German have lost in France,
Belgium and East Prussia, together
with their last losses in concert WITH
Austrio in Galicia, no fewer than
/ 100000 men. The Austrians IN their
conflict with Russia and Seryia have
likewise lost another 100000 men III

ter being particularly numerous owing

German armies in the field doubtless

The orders issued forbid killing young
calves or cows under seven years old.

The Austrians are apparently snow

the Germans are said to be doing. An
