'T'HE HALF HAS NEVER BEEN
TOLD"

The Gazette last week called at
tention to significant words of the
Prussian food controller, DR.. George
Michaelis, during speech in the
Prussian Diet Wednesday, DR.. Mich
aelis said: eve have in the third
year of the war discovered that
among all sections Of the people the
! general feeling evinced is not one of
that endurance for which we had
,, hoped. This is human nature, but it
is highly deplorable, and may have
most serious results"
Thus far only frasmentary reports
of TIE remarkable debate have been
printed in the German newspapers.
The Vorwerts, received in London
last week, contains the following
passage from the speech Of H"ir Ho-
fer, socialist member Of tls rus
sian diet:
"The mortality among elderly
people is increasing at a terrible
rate, while epidemics are spreading
everywhere owing to the decreased
powers of resistance. The situation
is much more serious than has been
admitted. The number Of suicides
is increasing and parents are killing
their children owing to their inability
to obtain food for them. Yet the
price Of potatoes, which long ago
became generally scarce. is to be in
creased"
Germany after. the war will. be con-
vulsed s with internal strifeS. of the
most ferocious character, perhaps
with street fighting and- barricades,
says an American writing from Am
sterdam series of articles for the
London Daily Chronicle. Among
other things he says:
"There are many different groups
already in course of formation. One
strong body aims at an alliance or at
least at a reapproachment with
England and the United States. An
other seeks reconciliation with France
and Belgium, and desires to stake it
out of Russia"
Hammann, the former director Of
the Berlin Foreign Press Bureau and
! chief censor until lately, continues
TO be, one of Germany's most evil
spirits, whose work it is to poison the
press in certain direction and to
aid the schemes of Reventlow. Ham
mann, more than anyone, by means
of immense propaganda, has caused
the masses in Germany to believe
that Zeppelins and submarines
will bring food and victory. lie has
succeeded in sitting the almost in
Vulnerable voices Of serious Ger
mans, who fear that submarine fe-
rocities will bring complications
which, added to present difficulties,
must end in disaster. This s.. lous
mass Of population crave for peace
with all their hearts, and hold that
Germany should continue to direct ef-
forts to obtain peace.
The correspondent concludes as
follows:
~ have been in Germany through
out the entire year. And I say that
Germany in the mass Graves for
peace, because she feels her doom is
near She and her allies are en-
hausted. Famine threatens her
within three months. Her once
dreaded military machine still turns
her mighty wheels, but her bearings
are grinding themselves out"
