RELIEF OF SHORTAGE
SOME MONTHS AWAY
Milk and Butter Situation Slight.
ly Improved-Eggs and
Fish Plentiful.
tSpS1s. .

Berlin, May 16.-For the first time
since the outbreak Of the war. meat is
hard TO obtain in large cities of the
German Empire. Meat lines" have
grown as long as the butter and milk
lines" and those forming them must
sometimes wait for hours
Responsible for this are the heavy
demands made on the meat supply by
the army. an almost total cessation Of
imports, and the governments new poll
icy of discouragng the slaughtering of
meat animals before fattening has
given them their maximum butcher
weight Cattle owners recently have
shown a tendency TO keep stock from
the market because the maximum price
arrangement has LETT them little profit.
Prospects for good pork produc-
ton are said to be excellent. Last fall
the pork was poor in quality and guam
tity. In the winter Of 19l4-15, the gov
eminent, realizing that there would be
q shortage in foodstufs, advised that
all pigs in good condition be slaught-
cred and their meat preserved. This
was done. but in many cases the meat
was so poorly cured, owing TO lack of
competent help, that 1t spoiled by the
thousands Of tons. Since then an ef-
fort has been made to bring back pork
production to something approaching
normal.
An improvement in the pork market
also would ease the shortage Of fat in
the empire, which is felt almost more
than the shortage of meat. Necessity
for an ample supply of animal fat has
never been felt so by the people as at
present, especially since production of
butter fell TO almost nothing during
the winter.
Eggs have been rather plentiful this
season. In many cases they have been
the principal food item. Fish also is
easily obtained, though a lack of fat
has robbed many of the dishes pre-
pared with them of much nutriment.
The one bright ray IN Germany's ma
tioIal cupboard is the fact that the
grain NrCspects for the present year
are exceedingly good. Rye and winter
wheat are well advanced. and the
spring crops have been favored by
timely rains and an early season. IL
is said there is enough rain in the
ground to mature the winter crops, and
that but little more moisture is needed
for the spring cereals. Potatoes have
been planted early.
Crop conditions in Austria Hungary
and in territory occupied by the Cen
trail Power troops are also good. In
the Danube bottoms the winter cereals
suffered a great deal from heavy rains
in March ard April, and considerable
acreage Rad TO be replanted with corn
and other late crops, but on the higher
levels all crops are good or better. The
only danger now is that heavy rains
may interfere with the harvesting, as
was the case last year.

Professor DeIbrueCk Says

NEEDS MEDIATION
AS VOTE BRlNGER
Declares Germany Prefers to
Treat Direct with Enemies
Gerard Sees HOlIwcg.

Berlin, June 1.-Professor Hans Del
brueck, Of the University of Berlin,
writing on American mediation in the
war, says there is something repellent
TO Germany in the idea of accepting
President Wilson as mediator. II is
obvious, he says, that the sympathies
OF the President are with the Entente
Powers, which might be regarded as
disqualifying him so far as the Central
Powers are concerned. He continues:
Moreover, President Wilson, by
using in his speeches expressions which
are insulting, has created an at
mospbere between US which renders a
cordial rapprochement no longer pos
sible.
what could he DO to US if he pro-
posed conditions which we rejected
fatty? He might threaten war, but he
would never be able to win the support
Of American public opinion and of Con-
gress for war TO establish the peace Of
Europe"
With the Entente Powers Professor
Delbrueck says: America does not
even need TO 20 so far as TO prohibit
the expectation Of munitions and 10
withdraw financial support, but needs
only TO insist on maintenance OF the
old rules Of international law TO COM
pei England, at least, to yield"
Much as the President may wish
10 mediate in the interests of Great
Britain and France, however, we are
not without weapons against him. We
could raise the question whether we
would enter into negotiations at all
until Great Britain's blockade has been
brought into harmony with information
al law. Moreover, President Wilson has
a great personal interest in quick sue
cess because a Presidential election IS
pending. II Germany makes conces-
sions to the pacihst theology which IS
so extremely strong IN America, Ger

Henry Morgenthau, speaking yes
terday before the New York Chamber

America to raise a monster fund, which
should be sent to aid the suffering
masses of Europe. He gave background
to his plea by pointing to the fact that
Germany and Austria are bitter against
America for supplying the Entente Al

equally bitter because this country has

Mr.. Morgenthau told of the stupen.
