STOVALL TALKS
ABOUT GERMANY
GEORGIA MAN, MINISTER TO
SWITZERLAND, MAKES RE-
PORT TO PRESIDENT

Washington, Oct. 26-(SpeciaD-
Pleasant A. Stovall, of Georgia, Min
lister 20 Switzerland, spent several
days in Washington upon his return
to America for short visit, before
returning 10 his home state.
Minister Stovall reported to Secre-
tary of State Lansing and to Presi-
dent Wilson what he has learned OF
Germanys internal military and eco
nomic condition from the one neutral
country besides Holland best suited
for such a study. Minister Stovall
told President Wilson that conditions
in Germany are in a near chaotic
state. He also is said to- have gone
into great detail with both President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing re-
garding Germany's autocratic atti-
tude toward the United States both
Immediately proceeding and after
the war started While Minister
Stovall, for obvious reasons, would
not talk for publication, it is said
the details he delivered on this point
are sensational in the extreme. While
here Minister Stovall was entertain
ed by Chairman William ]. Harris,
of the Federal Commission, the Min
lister from Switzerland and others in
official life.

GERMANS FACING
AFOOD SHORTAGE
ARE SCARCE. ALSO
DRESSES MUST BE MADE
SHORTER AND TIGHTER.

Copenhagen, Oct 26.-Some of the
prospects which the German people
are called upon to face the coming win
ter are officially announced in todays
German newspapers as follows;
There is only enough shoe leather
for the use of miners, fishermen, canal
workers and few allied traders. The
manufacture of leather footwear for
the rest of the population will be sus-
pended. They will have to get along
with wooden soles and cloth uppers.
There is big shortage i'll vegeta-
bles and no hope of any material i'm
provement in the fresh vegetable sup
ply. The turnip must again be one of
the mainstays of Germany this winter,
although to a less degree than last
year.
The fuel problem has not been solv-
ell despite all the efforts made for its
solution and the city populations may
expect to notice the results of this
fact keenly.
The railway administration of Sax
ony announced that railway travel
viii not be allowed without special
permission. Soldiers in the home
camps are limited in their weekend
furloughs, and Saturday and Sunday
trips of mothers and sweethearts to
see boys in the camp are cut down
in order to reduce transportation.
Finally, after the fashion plates. for
winter are out, the government has
decreed that the women's skirt must
be made with reduced material,
which results in their being made
shorter and tighter.

German ships in Manila Bay we're

great black headlines, "War Declared ,?
The report was founded upon con-
Gdential telegram received in Manila
by one Of the largest commercial firms.
II is believed that this news inspired
