GERMAN FARMERS
MUST GIVE UP GRAIN
Military Power Represented on
New Commission to Enforce
Food Rationing.

COPENHAGEN, March 27.-The
heyday of the farming population OF
Germany, q large proportion Of which
has been suffering from no such short

other products as the city and indus
trial classes under the ration SYSTEM
apparently is over under a new law
which has just been promulgated oy
the German official organ IN Wnlcn
the military authorities are invoked
20 enforce obedience to the fooo reg
ulations.
The military power, which alone is
now fully respected in Germany, will
be represented on a commission TO
force the aErarians to surrender all
grain beyond,-the amounts allotted
them under the ration system. These
will be transferred at the soonest pos
sible moment to government ware
houses. Unthreshed grain must De

ities are to furnish machines, horses
and labor, where the lack OF these lie
given as an excuse for delay In com
plying with the order.
All stocks which the holders en-
deavor to conceal may be connscateo
without payment for them. The rea'
son for the new law is the well-knoWn
fact that great numbers of agrarians
have refrained from turning over TO
the common stocks for general use
the full amount of their produce, In
order to insure for themselves more
ample food, or that they may be able
to sell direct to consumers, in evasion
of maximum prices, or to feed their
cattle, on which greater profits are OBJ
tainable than from grain or potatoes.
This condition is possible largely
owing to the fact that the authorities
In the country districts are drawn
from the agrarian' classes and are not
disposed to exercise measures of un-
due severity against their friends or
neighbors.

unusually favorable. If, on the other
hand, nitrates or readily nitratable
nitrogen have been produced In ade.
quate amounts, there will be good
crops, unless there should be a most
unfavorable growing season"
A spirit of optimism prevailed at
the New York offices of the German
Kali works, or German Potash Syn
dicate, at AZ Broadway, regarding the
fertilizer outlook in Germany for the
coming season. Prof. II. A.. Huston.
secretary of the organization, said
that recent advices received from Of
ficers of the syndicate in Germany
were that the present fertilizer re-
sources of the empire were equal to
those OF 1916.
$50 far as relates to the phosphoric
acid situation" said Prof. Huston.
Germany has in the past used very
excessive amounts of this acid in her
agriculture; that Is, far more than
the current crop needs. As a result
there is a reasonably good reservei
of phosphoric acid already in the
fields. Germany has always produced
large quantities of basic Stag, or
Thomas meal, which contains about
IS per cent of phosphoric acid In
fairly available condition
Prof. Huston denied Germany s
potash mines were underproducing
under stress of war conditions.

ELSIE FERGUSON
In PLEASING PLAY
Shirley Kaye, At National, Is
Simple Story Handled
With Light Touch.

The most undisturbine play of the
season is shirley Kaye" with Elsie
Ferguson, playing at the National
Theater this week. 1t is an easy and
pleasant evenings entertainment, de-
void of any firing heaviness.
Hulburt Footner, the author, has
utilized the old story OF the daughter
OF the ruined aristocrat, who succeeds
not only in outwitting her fathers
enemies, but who catches one of them
in the tolls OF matrimony, and who
launches the family of the rival rail
road magnate on the social sea
In the unwinding OF this simple
plot, however, he has employed a
lighter touch and realized a greater
freedom from mefodramattc moments
than authors who handle the same
plot usually attain.
Soon to Go Before Camera
Perhaps no other young woman of
the same age on the stage today has
been watched by the theatrical world
with greater interest than Miss Fer
guson. Her early work gave promise
OF a career which would leave her in
her prime, II not at the top, very
near 1t, in her own profession. Her
last appearance here was in Mar
garet Schiller" a war play which did
not do very well in New York.
This will be Miss Ferguson's last
appearance on the legitimate stage
for an indefinite period, as she is con-
templating entering the photoplay
field.
This venture is seemingly a wise
one. Miss Ferguson really excels in
Illuminating and important stage
business" and in true pantoniime.
while her only drawback, a heaviness
of voice and teethy enunciation, de-
veloped lately, will be no detriment to
her film career.
