washington, May 4.-Altho the nat
ure of the reports which are being
made to the war department by Amer
lean military observers abroad is be-
ing kept secret, an occasional phase OF
information which the general staff
and the department is getting becomes
known. A few facts concerning the
conditions in Germany, as seen by
American military observers, have de-
veloped since the observers have been
recalled.
One Of these concerns the food sup
ply of Germany. The information OBJ
tanned by the American military men
contradicts the notion that Germany
can be starved out. 1t appears that
one Of the phases OF the situation
which the American observers, or some
Of them, were given opportunities to
familiarize themselves with was the
food situation.
Growing Crops on Alien Soil.
The methodical manner in which the
Germans have set out to grow crops IN
that part of France and Belgium wnlcn
their armies have occupied Is some
thing which struck the American op-
servers. They found the kaiser was
making use Of his troops among otner
things to conduct farming operations
on a big scale. Prisoners are also so
employed.
It appears that the services OF some
Of the German agricultural scientists
have been requisitioned to put In the
crops in the French and Belgian area.
II a scientist says he needs supply
OF lime or fertilizer to grow crops on q
given area, the government sees TO IL
that the supply is forthcoming.
The Germans on their own territory
of course, are putting in crops on as
large q scale as possible. 1t is learned
that the American military observers
came back with the opinion that II the
Germans are allowed to retain the Bel
gian and French areas which they no"
hold until after the harvests their re-
sources will be materially increased.
Has Both Food and Men.
Such information as the American
general staff has received. tho meager
details of 1t are getting out, does not
tend to disclose either that In food or
men is Germany lacking In capacity 70
conduct long war. The IMPRESSION OF
American military men undoubtedly IL
that II the end Of the war depends
either on starving Germany or on ex-
hausting her supply Of lighting men,
then the end of the war. IL far from In
sieht. OF course, It does not follow
that German diplomacy II going to
wait either on starvation or on exhaus-
ton of military resources before NOV
inr for peace. In fact, such move
NAV be expected, as viewed here, when
It is felt by the German government
that longer delay would mean less IA
yorable terms Of settlement.

Prussian Frontier.
Correspondence Of Associated Press.J
Koenigsberg, Prussia. April 12.-One
Of the most difficult problems that the
government Of East Prussia Is trying
to solve is to get the frontier districts
OF the province, recently occupied Dy
the Russians, planted In time for this
wears harvests. The agricultural lands
in question can produce 100000 tons
Of grain; and the authorities are plan
ming and working to get them under
cultivation and so contribute toward
keeping up the country's food supplies.
The obstacles to oe overcome, how
ever are great. Most Of tho population
are refugees in other parts. and their
homes were so generally destroyed that
some Of the most important regions
have not yet been declared open Tor
the return Of the refugees. In others
the inhabitants have come back, ana
the inflow continues.
Not only the people. but the horses
of the provinces were scattered 20 the
four winds. It Is the most important
horse breeding region In Germany;
less than 10000 head were kept In the
devastated districts. A small part OF
these were saved by taking them to
more distant paTIS "a lA0 SOOAASASs S'.As
these animals are now being brought
back to the deserted farms. Horses
captured from the Russians and AMI
mails from the German army that are
no longer able to do the heavy military
work are being pressed into service
in planting the fields. But the supply
of plow-horses Is not near great
enough, and motor plows and harrows
are being extensively used.
Russian prisoners have been set to
blowing in larger numbers, and German
soldiers are 10 : Ses ee:::-!!c..sshea to some
extent to assist in farm work. Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has prom
ised that the military authorities will
do everything possible in this way to
get the fields planted. The provincial
authorities have gone about the solu-
ton Of this problem with characteris-
tic German thoroughness. Under their
auspices committees have been organ
ICED in the various districts to take In
hand the revival Of agriculture. These
have q fund Of some $7.000,0O0 gov
eminent money at their disposal. which
is to be distributed among the farmers
at fixed rate per acre planted.
