That Germany Is not In a position to
carry on the present war much longer
is the opinien of Gen. Kuhns. who
says that the Germans are practically
starving, with their surplus supplies
gone, and ready now to listen to al
most any terms Of peace that will fall
short of absolute acknowledgment Of
defeat.
Yesterday Secretary Lansing issued
q categorical denial of the statement
made the day previous by the German
foreign secretary, Doctor Zimmerman.
who has stated that he was without
knowledge of American opinion and
not in position to say whether the
United States did or did not desire
war.
There has been no suspension of
communication between the United

Habu has engaged an attorney and the
case will be fought out in the police
court.
IT seems that Habu was driving
down 10 Waiakea in his converted
Hupa when he spotted a police officer
who resides in the same part of town
as he does. In a fit of generosity the
Japanese stopped his car and offered
the cop lift. The policeman was only
too pleased to get ride home and
he jumped on board the machine and
started for Wajakea.
After about Is seconds the cop no
ticed that the car was wobbling about
lot so he took look at the driver.
Then there was a yell from the cop
as he realized the situation and called
upon the driver to stop at once. The
driver was very drunk, declares the
cop, and the consequence was that the
machine was left on the side OF the
road while the police patrol wagon
was called 10 take the cop and the
Japanese to the police station. The
Japanese was astounded at the course
taken and he wanted to know what

BREAD RATION IN
FRANCE CUT IN HALF
Food Administrator Issues
Summary of World Survey
Of Crop Conditions; Are
Generally Unsatisfactory.

Bread rationing in France has been
reduced from one pound to one-half
pound per day, owing to light supplies
of wheat and weather unfavorable for
planting. This is a feature of the
summary of world survey of crop
conditions issued by Food Admins
traitor Wattles.
The survey shows crop conditions
somewhat unsatisfactory in almost
every important country with the ex-
ception of South America. where both
wheat and oats acreages have been
increased over last year. The pros
pect is reported good.
Following is the summary OF condi-
tions:
Canada.
The Ontario potato yield is about
normal. There are still considerable
quantities to be harvested, in some
sections as much as Is per cent of the
crop. Prices are 81 upwards per
bushel.
Australia.
Excessive rains prevailing are un-
favorable to crop conditions. Pros
poets are fair, but wheat acreage is
reduced Is per cent. Flour is being
ground and stored for foreign ac-
count. Wheat continues to be dam
aged. owing 10 improper housing ia
cilities.
India.
Weather is still unfayorabie for
blowing and seeding. which is below
normal. Interior supplies of wheat
remain liberal and port stocks large,
but haxseed has preference in exports.
Russia.
Seeding has stopped, with wheat
acreage materially less than last year.
Scarcity of wheat prevails in large
centers due to inadequate transporta-
ton facilities.
United Kingdom.
Weather continues unfavorable for
agriculture.
Weather is unfavorable for plant
ing and movement Of crops; supplies
are light. Bread rationing has been
reduced from one pound to half
pound per day.
Italy.
Unfavorable weather and scarcity OF
labor and seed are retarding agricul-
ture. Supplies are small and bread
rationing has been reduced.
Holland.
The potato crop is exceptionally
good: unofficially 1t is estimated at
about l00000,000 bushels, which is a
superabundance for Hollands less
than 100000 people.
Germany. {
Neutral advices confirm poor har-
vest Of wheat and excellent yield OF
potatoes,
Scandinavia.
Harvesting finished with yield poor
and quality unsatisfactory. Supplies
will generally suffice until January.
South Africa.
Wheat acreage has increased rs per
cent and oats increased ; per cent.
Crop prospects good; importation will
not be necessary.
New Zealand.
The government has been author
lied to purchase the l9l7-l8 wheat
crop at Sl.4l per bushel.
Bermuda.
The, yield OF potatoes planted this
fall will equal and perhaps exceed last
years crop. which was 90,oo7 bushels,
