ter how long the war may last" says
the semi-ofIicial North German Ca.
zette in an announcement Of the crca-
ton of food dictatorship with sweep
ing powers
However. the short harvest Of 1915.
together with reduced imports, have
resulted In a food scarcity in some di-

felt
Efforts to better conditions have
been hindered because each federal
state has made Independent regula-
tions This will now be corrected by
a Capitalization OF power"
Probably never before have such
sweeping powers been concentrated
as are now granted Herr Won Battoc-
xi, the new food dictator.

by Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to
his men on the Russian front Is quot
ed as follows In a Central News dis
patch from Basel, Switzerland:
For some time rumor has been

this fact, coupled with the instinct of
self-preservation which is constantly
growing, is having a bad effect on the

Farmers Urged to Use Women for
Tillinq the Soil

London, May 24.-Francis Dyke Ac-
land, financial secretary of the treas
ury, speaking In the house of COM
mons on the agricultural situation,
made a somewhat disturbing state
ment
II is imperative, Mr. Acland said,
that farmers drop their prejudice
against the employment of female la
Dor. A breakdown In home supplies
is avoidable only If the labor situation
does not grow worse.
The danger point OF greatly decreas-
ed production already has been reach
ed and even as things are going 1t
now Is feared that England cannot
hope to maintain her production on
last years level.
IF more men are swept into the
army from the farms, she can only
escape famine by diverting to impor-
tation OF foodstuffs"
And" Mr. Acland concluded, I'VE
are unable to say whether there will
be ships to divert that way"

REPLY TO ASQU|TH

London, May 25-Winston Spencer
miralty, who has been opposing the
government i'm the house of commons
since his return from the front, was
the first speaker in the general de-
bate initiated by Premier Asquith's
motion for the eleventh vote of credit
Mr.. Churchill expressed regret that
Mr. AsQuith had not reviewed the gen
eral strategic situation and said it
was unreasonable for people to ex-
pect the war to turn suddenly and
decisively i'm favor of the allies. The
contending armies were far too even
ly matched at the present time TO per
NIT of such a change
The frequency Of the German and
front might be a sign of the measure
of their strength Mr. Churchill said,
but 1t might also be a sign of the
measure Of their profound anxiety. If
the Germans were beaten decisively
they would be beaten by lack of men,
anu dctoTulnBiy tile DeSt use must DC
made of the men now being called to
the British army.
Colonel Churchill suggested the
abolition of officers servants and

that there were 100000 officers in the
army, with an equal number of ser
wants and $4,000 grooms, an army In

French defenders OF Douaumont.
From behind great clouds of dust
thrown up by shells the gray columns

While French machine guns sprayed
the advancing lines, the charging Ger
mans reached the western and north

tenders
Groups OF men struggled at such
close quarters that bayonets and
grenades became useless and resort
was had to knives
The opposing artillery meanwhile
sent shells shrieking over the fort

German Peace Envoy Coming

OBJECT is NOT STATED
Report Says He Will Succeed Won

Take Up Important Matters With
President Wilson.

London, May 25.--The Exchange

from diplomatic circles that Prince

lor, is proceeding to Washington.
charged by Emperor William with
special mission.
The Exchange Telegraph company
also says IL understands Prince Won
Buelow will become ambassador to
the United States.
This information is said 10 have
been obtained from diplomatic circles
In London.
Washington, May 25.-Should Prince
Won Buelow arrive in Washington on
a special mission officials thought 1t
likely his task would be somewhat
similar to that assigned to Colonel T.

Presidents Position on Peace.
In the absence OF President Wilson,
and with Secretary Lansing still con
fined to his home by illness, no official
would hazard speculation regarding
the probable attitude of the president
IL Prince Won Buelow should arrive,
with or without official credentials,
upon a peace mission.
The president has declined TO inter
vone in behalf of peace. at least until
both sides show a desire to talk mat
ters over.
Whether his position would be al
tered if one of the warning powers
took the initiative is In doubt.
Prince Won Buelow, one of the fore
most statesmen of Europe, has been
referred to frequently In the past few
