GERMANS ARE STARVING, Swiss Officers Claim Teutons Forces
 Arc Short of Food.

Geneva. Switzerland, May 1s--swiss sohicers on leave who have just, re-
 turned here after nine months serv- Ice on the Swiss-Alsace frontier say that even the German officers in AL sace and Lorraine are suffering from
 hunger and when they arrive at the.
 Swiss outpost villages are now glad to obtain a good meal, paying any price.
 Until a few months ago the German
 officers, unlike the men on the frontier
 who arc always hungry, pretended they had plenty of food but their pale faces belied the statement. Now they admit that decent food Is lacking and their Swiss officer comrades, though neutral are doing their best for the Germans. although the Swiss military authorities prohibit any intercourse. If this is the case with officers the condition of the German soldier may be imagined on the frontier where the
 kindly Swiss are sharing their rations. One German deserter said:
 My whole company would desert and enter Switzerland but we are told by our officers that we would be re- turned to Germany and then shot"

ENGLISH PROPOSE
 BURNING UP CROPS
May Try to StarVe Germany by
 Novel Method

Birmingham, England, May 1s.-A plan to destroy the German crops by setting them on ire by means of fre4 balls dropped from Entente airplanes ls suggested by Lord Calthrope. a. Former member of the British army, who has given much thought to the food situation brought about by this war. Lord Calthrope married a daughter of Ogden F1ofmann Burrows of Newport, R. I. :
 Lord Calthrope's proposal, made known through letters to the news papers in London and other cities of England. has attracted g. great deal of attention. While many methods for bringing Germany to terms by the starvation route have been suggested nolsuch theory as Lord Calthrope's had before been broached.
 Tn the Rhile Valley and districts within reach of our aircraft" he writes, there are vast tracts Of land planted with grain, the fields touch ing one another. and without fences or hedges. Similar conditions exist near the Russian frontier of Germany and in the plains in Hungary.
 "Fireballs dropped from airplanes would, If properly constructed, destroy thousands of acres, as the crops be- come much drier than in England, and with little risk to the inhabitants, otherwise non-combatants, as cottage, and farm buildings among the fields. are rare. v
 "A suitable fireball could soon be devised and manufactured by our ex- perts, but 1t is imperative, however, that the necessary experiments and plans are made quickly, as the Ger man harvests are earlier than ours. There is therefore no time to be lost" 2
 Lord Calthrope says that. as it. has become question as to which country starves first, Germany or England, it is important that the Entente allies lose no time in hastening the de- struction of the German crops.

SOLDIERS AS FARHERS
Britain Has Plan to Enlist Former
 to Keep Up Food Supply.

London, May 1S.-The experiment. of placing ex-eoldiers on the land and training them aS small farmers is talk ing definite shape, and in time the first land settlements, comprising S.- 0c0 acres will be occupied by 240 men. More estates will be acquired if tho results of the experiment warrant an extension of the movement.
 At present. sixty cottages are being erected at the Crown Colony. Pairing ton, about fifteen miles from Hull. containing 2,363 acres. At the central farm of about 200 acres the men who propose to settle on the land will be employed under the supervision of the director and, when they have obtained little capital, they will be placed on holdings of which there will be sixty. In time the control farm will disap- pear.
 The plan does not make provision for disabled men as such. The root principle is to determine by sexperi- ment how far tho recommendattons of the committee which drafted the plan can be made success. It is hoped. that certain number of dis AOleQ men VIII pc, among the settlers. After the cottages, the farm buildings will be erected, and the Young Mems Christian Association has undertaken to put up a recreation hut.
 The Board of Agriculture win ob- tain possession of land at Holbeach for their second colony in October. Tn addition to . colony to be estab- lished in the southern or western of England and one in Wales, . prominent agriculturist has made . gift of over thousand acres in Here- fordshire.
