GENEVA, May I8.-lnsistent denials from Berlin no longer conceal the fact that the Ger mans are desperately short of food supplies and there is every indication that the war bound na- tion is on the verge of famine.
 Reports reaching here from a dozen sources practically reiter- ate the admissions of several of the German papers that the food situation, particularly in the cities, is fast becoming menacing and even the most heroic of gov ernmental efforts are unable to cope with the ever growing stringency.
 The belief that Germany is fast approaching a crisis in the matter of feeding her people is further confirmed by the fact that Ger man soldiers along the Swiss Alsatian frontier have lately been asking the Swiss soldiers for food stating that their rations have been reduced to the most meager proportions and the bulk of the diet is vegetable foods. The Germans say that they have not eaten meat for weeks. Owing to the shortage of grain, the quanti- ties of bread distributed to the troops are of the most meager
