man of that fellows regiment will
ever forget that night either. He was
killed for trying to desert. He was
not bad man. But something went
wrong with his nerves. The terrible
part of it was that nobody blamed
him. The soldiers at the front un-
derstood these nerve breakdowns bet
ter than do the doctors. He was on,
he had run away under fire in front
of the entire regiment and there was
only one thing to do under the cir
cumstances. a..
THE awful part Of it to me was
that he wouldn't believe that he was
to be executed. An execution under
such circumstances isn't a punish
ment exactly, it's more an example to
the other men and everybody is kind
to the man that is to die. Their SYM
pathies are with him.

BERLIN, Feb 2O-(via Amster-
dam)--While statements that Ger
many faces starvation are exaggerat-
ed, the food situation Is admittedly
very serious: And the government,
usually so methodical, in this case is
greatly to blame. Its boasting when
the war broke out, that the nation
had enough food on hand to last sew
eral years, were accepted as gospel
truth. AS result food was wasted
which should have been saved. To-
day only complete change in the
methods of living, which is possible
through the exemplary discipline OF
the people themselves, can save the
situation. That this will take place
is certain. Already partial change
has taken place. Here are the sue
cessive steps that have been taken tc
conserve the food supply:
On January 5, the federal council
decreed that from that date on 80 pei
cent Of flour must be milled from
rye; 80 percent from wheat: mill,
able wheat and rye must not be fed
as fodder to animals, while all wheat
flour must have added to it 80 per.
cent OF rye, ana ~ per cent potato
flour. Rye bread must contain at
least 10 percent Of potato barley or
rye flour or 80 percent Of grated or
mashed potatoes. On January 25,
the government decreed that all Ger.
cal flour and cereals in quantities CT
more than c20 pounds, whether in the
hands OF farmers, dealers or con.
sumers, was to be appropriated by
the government. Municipalities of
5000 inhabitants or more were given
authority to appropriate swine and
to compel the baking of uniform
loaves Of bread. Sales of flour were
prohibited until February /.
Z Today the food supply of the nation
is in the hands of officialdom. The
following are the regulations, uniform
in all municipalities OF more than g.

was so accurate that the Anglo
French feet, which at first attempted
to steam well within range in an Of

the outer ramparts, were driven back
and most of their shots were fired at
a range SO long that the shell had
lost all of their penetrating power

wasted as the Workmanship of the
feet was poor.
