HARD TIMES AHEAD
German Paper Warn Readers Not tt

Berlin, Nov. 3--The unusual mill
tary criticism allowed to appear IN
some of the German papers slmultan-
eously with an enthusiastic outburst
in the semiofficial organs comment,
ing on "food crisis" IS a situation
arising not only from efforts OF the
enemies, but also from the greed OF
the German food barons. Both Har-
den. in the Zunkunft, and Gadke, IN
the Voorwaerts warns thei' COM
pariots not to indulge in cheers OF
victory, inasmuch as there are hard
times ahead. Harden says:
eve do not want Insurers, who take
advantage Of the needs of the mas
ses, who are seeking modest and IN
dispensable food. He who coins meat
corn or vegetables is a downright
rascal. He who stores butter, hoping
that the price will rise higher, he
longs to the gallows.
Gadke says: "Let us beware OF
overestimating the initial success
es in Serbia. We must remember
that once before Belgrade was in
Austrian hands and the Austrian az,
