FOOD CRISIS IN GERMANY
CAUSES ALARM THERE
Papers Reveal Extent of Shortage.
Substitutes Widely Used

LONDON, Feb. 10.-While the German
newspapers are telling OF the Kaiser and
his armies marching on from victory to
victory, and are relating daily new ex-
plolts calculated to stir the people TO en-
thusiasm. the fact that Germany actually
is on the verge OF starvation is becoming
daily more apparent. This conclusion is
not founded on the statements OF alleged
s'neutrals," whose Impressions necessarily
are biased, but is based on reports of the
artuaI conditions as related by the Ger
man press.
The theory is advanced that the Berlin
Government encourages the publication
OF alarming reports on the food situation
with a view to misleading the enemy.
This obviously Is absurd. The German
press Is filled not only with reports OF a
most serious food crisis, but with adver-
tisements OF substitutes for missing artI-
cles OF diet and the feverish activities of
scientists seeking to discover new food

not encourage the publication OF adver-

ment Of great intensity on both sides,
according to Petrograd dispatch.
The Germans have taken the initia.
tive and attacked the railway station at
Llksno, on the east bank Of the Dvina,
seven miles northwest of Dvinsk. This
would indicate a serious penetration Of
the Russian lines. but the Russian STAFF
explains that the German forces were
unable to advance, still occupying their
old positions, and succeeded In reaching
Liltsno only by using heavy artillery,
which they now have had time to mount.
Regarding the security Of the strong
German Qualifications which were erect
ed along the northern front during
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's cam
paign against Dvinsk. Russian military
critics believe they will remain effective
only as long as the ground remains
frozen, and that in the early spring the
German position, including Mitau, will be-
come untenable.
Little Importance, therefore, Is attached
In these circles to the persistent predic-
tlons OF great German offensive against
Riga and Dvinsk in March. since Russian
military men have been convinced by the
failure of Won Hndenburgs last efforts
to take Dvinsk that even under conditions
most favorable to the Germans the
DviHsk-Riga line is impregn.-ble.
The German official statement is silent
concerning the advance on Dvinsk and con-
fines itself to chroniclng the repulse of
minor Russian attacks. II says:

neighborhood of Illoukst northeast of
