EXPOSE PROGRAM OF
WORLD DOMINATION
New Sources of information Disclose
Germany's War Aims to American
Government.
tRy Associated Press.l


Washington, May 21.-Germanys
next peace declaration, expected TO
suggest q program of territorial le-
nunciation on the east and the west,
is regarded here as largely answered
beforehand by information revealing
for the lrst time the full scope OF the
imperial governments aspirations for
conquest in the south.
This information discloses as one Of
the primary aims Of the war
plan for consolidation of an
unit stretching from the North sea to
the Mediterranean, cutting Europe
permanently in half, controlling the
Dardanelles, and Aegean and the Baltic
and eventually forming the backbone
of a Prussian world empire.
In the light of German history, the
plan shows how implicitly the kaiser
has followed out the blood and iron
policy of Bismarck for development OF
Prussian power. Considered in view
of the present war map, it shows that
the major portion of the kaiser's war
program has been accomplished, re-
gardless of what disposition is made
of conquered territory in France, Bel
gium and Russia.
How infinitely defined is the German
plan and how accurately it is being
carried out, have become fully appar-
ent only with the opening up, during
the last few weeks, of several new
avenues Of information. The return OF
American diplomatic agents from the
central empires, the visit of the Brit
ish and French mission, detailed con-
fidential reports of the recent frank
expressions in the reichstag and in the
German press, and the deductions OF
alert Americans abroad, watching Lne
newest peace moves, have supplied the
explanation of more than one hitherto
obscured feature Of the German policy.

German Food Situation Is
Reported To Be Increas-
ingly Serious
(Ry Associated Press.l

Copenhagen, May 21.-The potato
situation in Germany apparently is
growing steadily worse, although the
weather no longer furnishes an excuse
for scanty shipments. Following the
example of it's sister city, Altoona,
Hamburg this week will reduce the
weekly ration of "a ounces substitute
ing an allowance of $40 grams OF
bread for the rest Of the promised five
pounds. To meet the dissatisfaction
this produces, the government has
authorized grocers to sell all their re-
manning stocks of canned vegetables
this week.
The Berlin potato ration is being
maintained with great difficulty be-
cause of the moral effect Of reducing
at the capital the allowance promised
so definitely after the April strike. In
remarkably worded official appeal
the people of Berlin are implored to
remember that the eyes of the world
are upon them. They are ,admonished
to cease complaining and recognize
| thankfully how much better conditions
are in Berlin than in the war-ravageo
enemy lands of the British Isles, which
! it is said, are headed toward actual
starvation.
simultaneously there are published
official arrangements for a race be-
| tween father time and famine which
show how perilously scant is the, mar
gin of safety under the most favorable
conditions, between the moment when
the present stock is exhausted and the
time new -four will be available. These
plans provide for selection of the
region where the harvest will riper
