Rotterdam, Holland, May 25.--
(By mail Babies seven months to
a year old are eating carrots, apples
and spinach in Germany.
Other folks besides babies are hay
ing food troubles. These food stor-
les We'll tell about them all.
If you watch the consulates here
and keep your eyes on the incoming
trains you can meet, every day, q
scent for persons who have just come
from Germany and who will gladly
tell you what experiences they have
had in their kitchens, dining rooms
and stomachs since the food stringen-
cy in Germany became noticeable.
These travellers feel themselves
heroes, as, indeed, you come to regard
them, in manner of speaking, when
you see them abandon to full, man S
sized meal here.
Travellers to Berlin, especially the
American writing kind, live at the
best hotels. They return with stor-
les of plentiful and excellent food.
Berlin is the wartime show place
Of Germany and the hotels where
writers go are the wartime show
places of Berlin What the Amer
lean writer's have said of the plenti-
fulness and the excellence of the food
is not necessarily true.
Here in Rotterdam you get the
truth, straight from the dining rooms
and kitchens of civilians in every
part of Germany. It indicates that
life in Germany is uncomfortable,
highly so, for civilian who is keep
ing house.
Here's a Swedish mechanic from
Germany, running around Rotterdam
filling his arms with packages of ba-
con, bottles of olive oil and rice. Per-
haps the Hollanders will refuse him
permission to take these across the
border but "I'm going to make try
of it," he says.
Here's a pretty American girl din
ing alone in Rotterdam restaurant.
She's studying music in Berlin. 1--WE
just run over to Holland to spend
week eating," she says.
Here's Spanish woman with three
hah hv
down to get him some milk. He is
tired of carrots, spinach and apples.
No wonder; he is only seven months y
And here are Germans eld-
erly, retired Germans-who haunt
the doorways of the hotel restaur-
ants, waiting for the American plan
dinner bell to ring and who seem to
be always eating, even at the hated
English tea hour. They are here a
week. Then they go back to Ger
many.
Germany, civilian Germany is
hungry. Not hungry for victuals,
because victuals are anything a hu-
man being can eat and digest, but for
decent food like meat and wheat and
milk and animals and vegetable fats
(How and why tiny, toothless Ger
man babies eat apples, carrots, spin
ach and oatmeal, instead of gurgling
milk, will be the subject of Shep-
herds next food stOry).

Washington, June 20.-The United
States today threatened Carranza
with grave consequences if he at
tackled the American troops in Mex
leo. This threat was incorporated in
long note replying to his latest
withdrawal demand. = .s:;=,.s
The note was filled with short arm
diplomatic jabs. It absolutely de-
clines to take the U. S. forces from
Mexico. It excoriates Carranza for
his failure to cooperate and resents
his bruskiness and intimations as bad
faith. 1t charges that bandits are
permitted to go unhampered and un-
punished.
The state department made public
the text of the note today. The
communication is an unusually long
one and is one of the curtest that the
u S. has sent Mexico.
Fails to Aid.
The note charges that Carranza has
been Indifferent to atrocities and even
encourages and aids some of the lead
ers of them. 1t charges that Carran-
"a failed to take the proper steps to
apprehend Villa.
There is a strong feeling here to-
day that America will attempt to bot
tie up the Mexican forts Immediately.
Officials admitted that this was pos
sible but declined to state that this
move was anticipated.
Pessimism predominated in the OFF,
cial quarters today. Those who
thought that show of strength
would quiet Mexico are less conf
dent. It is also considered certain
that the U. S. militia forces will see
Mexican service.
President Wilson today urged
members of the senate naval commit
tee to specify at least one and pos
sibly two dreadnaughts in the navy
bill.

st. Paul, Minn., June 2O.-General
Wood today ordered the quartermas-
ter staff to get Fort Smelling ready.
It is presumed that he intends to i'm
mediately start the mobilization Of
the Minnesota national guard here.
The guard is now being held in ar
mories through the state.
Defy Mexicans.
Ell Paso, June 20.-U. S. soldiers
defy Carranza. It was learned that
the bandits are operating south and
west of Namiquipa. General PERISH
ing has sent detachments after them.
This is in direct opposition to Car
ranza's order. If Carranza carries
out his threat it is considered certain
that U. S. and Carranza soldiers will
clash.
Interest on Del Rio.
San Antonio, June 20.-Interest
on the border today centered upon
Del Rio where it is reported that l.
500 Mexicans and Yaqui Indians are
approaching the city. Del Rio IS
. Just west of here on the Rio Grande.
A battalicn has been sent there on
motor trucks to defend the city.
Colonel Sibley is in command.
