NEW YORK, June 2.-11 a. m.)-
The German governments instruc-
tons that table d'hote meals shall not
be served hereafter In restaurants
because of the inevitable waste, Is
one of numbe rof recent indications
that the International situation in Ger
many is disturbing to the authorities
The governments advice to the peo-
pie to abandon as much meat as pos
sible IN favor of vegetable diet and
the suggestion that meats be boiled
instead of roasted, whereby they are
less tempting to the palate, are other
indications OF failing food supply.
How serious the domestic situation
really is in Germany cannot be deter
mined except by government statistics
which the Berlin authorities are care
fully guarding While there is no
room for believing actual starvation is
approaching, 1t Is certain much dis
comfort is being caused the people OF
Germany. The discomfort in fact IS
unuuestionably far more than that in
flicted on England by Germany's sub
marine warfare. The abolition of table
d'hote meals Is IN itself an indication
of this, for full course lunches and
dinners are a national restaurant GUS
tom throughout Germany The eco
nomic situation in Germany undoubt-
edly is making itself felt among most
classes of the population, but the de-
tailed facts are hidden as much in
this case as in the case OF the food
supply. Nevertheless, certain circum-
stances are known. Thus, under nor
NAL conditions Germany's reserve sup
ply of cotton on hand at the outbreak
of the war ought by now to be ex-
bausted and the mills ought to be

A War Menace from Europe.

While the epidemic of typhus fever
in Europe seems to be on the decrease
because the little insect which trans
mits it paradoxically goes into winter
quarters in summer, the United States
Public Health Service has issued a
warning to all quarantine officers to
keep sharp lookout for the disease
among passengers arriving from Greek
and Italian ports. The over crowd-
ing. lack Of bathing facilities. and gen.
eral insanitary conditions brought
about by the state Of war in Europe
have made the fiscal year 1914-15 a
typhus year. The extensive outbrea k
which occurred in Austria Hungary
and Servia is probably responsible for
the introduction of the disease into
Germany, but as immigration from
these countries is at the present time
practically nil the governments sani-
tary corps considers passengers from
Greece and Italy of greater potential
health menace. The disease has also
been reported in Spain; at Zurich and
st. Gall in Switzerland; and Moscow,
Odessa, Petrograd and Warsaw in
Russia
