Facts Before U. S. Officials.

All these facts, in general, and many
details relating to them have been
broadly sketched to high officials OF
the American government.
So great has been the interest shown
by American officials in these disclos-
ures that the stay of the French mis-
sion in this country is likely to be pro-
longed to permit extended discussion
OF them. Coming primarily as mis-
sion of sentiment" as one member ex-
pressed it, the ENJOYS find they can be
of more definite service than they sus-
pected before their departure.
1t is a fallacy to believe that peace

more and better food; they will seek to

Germany is believed to have highly
Illuminating information about these
conditions. and she is circulating it
broadcast among the German people

endurance. and if they will but hold out
little longer they will be repaid with
immense indemnities for their sacri-
fices. Meanwhile the German subma-
rlne program is definitely aimed to ag-
gravate these conditions. U-boat com
manders have orders to sink vessels
carrying wheat first and foremost; then
to direct attention to vessels conveying
steel to allied ports, and, thirdly, to
sink as many coal cargoes as they can
