NO FOOD SHORTAGE
New Army Is Being Trained for Sev-
ice in Spring-Efe Goes On
as Before War.

London, Dec. 6-T. st. John Gaffney.
the American consul general at Munich
who is on a brief visit to London. today
described American conditions in Ger
many as he sees them. He said: There
is practically no change in the daily
routine Of life in Berlin so far. The husi-
ness houses are open, the restaurants
are especially popular, the beer saloons
are crowded and the streets are full OF
military, chiefly reserves Of the class OF
1914 who are now being trained.
Although Germany has now in training
ard in reserve several million men who
will not be sent to the front until spring.
AS a matter Of fact one sees throughout
Germany such a large number OF young
and strong men in civil life that the alb
sence Of those at the front is scarcely
perceptble.
THE question Of food and other sup
piles Is causing little anxiety. the bread
problem having been safely solved for
a year at least by the addition CT po-
tdto flour. Despite the war the gov
ernment Is taking especial cara CT the
fields OF Southern Germany which Or
dinarily are sown with other crops and
which this year should be devoted 10
corn.
''Famine. therefore, is impossible. un-
less next years crops fail or large areas
are devastated. or occupied by the enemy
In the course OF an unsuccessful cam
paign.
Another important problem. which Is
being settled rapidly. is that OF the unem-
Iloyed. During the first weeks Of the
war this factor assumed alarming PRO
potions but since then better balance
has been established in industry ard agri-
culture by the departure Of large num-
ber Of workmen for the front. In one
way, or another. every branch OF indus
try Is now taking part in the production
Of war supplies. while the reOpened mines
have absorbed a majority Os the remain
ing unemployed. Such as left are being
generously cared for by the establish
ment Of cheap municipal food kitchens
and free kitchens for the women and
children Of the soldiers who are fight

Another capacity audience Of more
than 600 women and perhaps twenty
men filled the large auditorium al
woodward & Lothrop's last Monday
morning and listened to Miss Janet
Richards Talk on Public Questions"
After bringing up to date q number
of topics OF lesser Importance. Miss
Richards considered the vexed question
Of the Colorado strikes. She outlined
briefly the causes OF this twelve-month
conflict and read President Wilson'S
statement, as printed In The Washing
ton Herald Of that morning. reviewing
conditions in the mining region. and
providing for q commission composed
of Seth Low. Charles w. Mills, and
Patrick Gilday.
Miss Richards explained that this waS
merely q commission to which voluntary
appeals for arbitration between capital
and labor could be made. There Is nc
compulsory law in the country for such
arbitration. In that respect the speaker
seemed to think that both Australia and
New Zealand were in advance OF the
United States, and q detailed and inter-
esting account was given Of the provis-
IONS and methods of operation Of the
Australian law.
The fact that the OmceS OF tne ne"
commission may be invoked or net as
the leaders decide, reminded Miss Rich
ards Of the exactly similar status OF
The Hague peace tribunals and led her
TO review the deliberations of the two
peace conferences held at The Hague In
1893 and 1907, at the first OF which 1t
was provided that tribunals of arbitra-
ton may be invoked by nations in
dispute, and at the second of which the
motion was presented by the American
delegation to amend the clause by chang
ing the word may to must"
How well ] remember that beautiful
July day at The Hague when that reso-
luton was offered said the lecturer
for was there at the time. The bril-
liant William T. Stead, in my opinion
the most valuable life lost on the Ill
fated Titanic. whom l met that day for
the first time, seized my hand heartily
upon my introducing myself as an
American woman, and exclaimed with
enthusiasm, This is a great day for
America, madame! This morning
resolution was presented to the confer
ence by your American chairman, Hon.
Joseph Choate, proposing to make arbi-
tratiOn compulsory between the nations.
His motion would replace the word

Special to The Washington Hrrald.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 6.-Millers Of st.
Paul and Minneapolis are busIly packing
-four into 5000 cotton sacks to be sent
to Belgian's suffering thousands. the -four
for food and the sacks for clothing. The
flour for food project is rather old. but
the cotton sack for clothing idea is as
new as a Thomas A Edison invention.
The idea was suggested by the posi-
tion OF two newspaper articles, one ap-
pealing for food for the Belgians and
the other asking everybody to buy a
bale of cotton" in adjoining columns.
The most experienced millers and ship
pers say the cotton sack is practicable.
Seamstresses declare that all kinds Of
garments can be made with the cotton
sacks and the material will be damaged
little II any in transit
The Belgians are in dire need Of un-
derclothing and though cotton is not
as warm as wool it will keep thousands
comfortable. For killing two birds with
one stone In aiding Belgians and cotton
growers at the same time the millers
here say the scheme is the best ever.
