Numbers VS.. Amount.

Washington, the home of the Federal
Government, cannot hope to compete with the
great financial cities in the amount of its sub
scriptions to the Liberty Loan.
In proportion to its population, however,
Washington should excel every other city in
the United States in the number of subscrib-
ers to the Loan.
Every citizen who has as much as $50 or
can save that amount should be subscriber,
Are you already subscriber If not,
why?
Washington's honor roll of subscribers
numbers l2,592-less than per cent of the
population
The Washington subscriptions are:

a desire to enlist in the American army

At my request for information regard

LONDON, June 9.-Prof. F. Zefton
Delmer, released two weeks ago from
Germany. gave to The Star today
a written statement about conditions
there, in which he said the nations
food situation was SO precarious that
a single misstep might plunge 1t at
any moment into an abyss.
Prof Delmer was professor in the
Berlin University when the war began.
He was held the1e until past military
age His statement to The Star is In
reply to series of written questions.
The questions and answers follow:
Does Germany still think she can
hold out?"
''If I were to form an impression
from German newspapers alone I
should emphatically say yes. II I were
to Judge from the opinions Of persons
with whom I came in contact in Ber-
lin 1 should say I hae me doots. My
doubts are based rather on economic
than on military insufhciency.
Things Germany Lacks.
THE things Germany is principally
short of are:
81. Foodstuffs.
"2. Fodder
"3 Transportation materials. such as
railroad rolling stock and horses.
wool, cotton, lubricants and rubber.
wool cotton, lubricants and rubber.
SO. Workmen.
"In the various categories food and
fodder shortage play the most fmpor-
tant part-so important that II the gov
wariness it may prove disastrous. The
economic margin is 80 narrow that a
single false step to either side may
plunge the nation into an abyss.
Reserve Food scanty.
"The reserves of food available are so
scanty that only by the strictest econo-
my and the most perfect distribution
can Germany make her supplies last
out until the next harvest On the
other hand. there Is danger II the nation
is cut down below the limit already
reached, because the amount OF nour-
afforded will not be sufficient
of large portion Of the community all
ready Is seriously undermined, but as
the class affected Is chiefly SO aged as
to be economically yalueless. the Ger
man military class cares Tor none OF
these things.
Iron principle is the soldiers first
motto, in Germany. The
soldiers and the munftion workers have
first claim on all food supplies, as well
as on everything else essential to mill
tary efficiency. The best fed of all are,
the officers. II any one is
the German women and chill
dren, 1t is the German army.
"One woman in Germany said to me:

The authorities had refused her petit
tion to be allowed. on the ground OF ILL
ness. to buy half a pint of milk daily.
Sixteen hundred grammes (about
three and one-half pounds) of bread is
allowed to each person a week. That
is very little less than the weekly ra-
ton OF four pounds allowed to the peo-
pie here. But the two cases cannot be
compared, because, in the first place,
the quality of the German bread is
very poor. The quality of the bread Is
already causing all sorts OF digestive
troubles.

Hungarians Show Interest.

The keenest interest In the news was
| evtnced by my Hungarian colleagues,
who are here to report the peace con-
ference. several Of whom are returning
to Budapest. as the chances Of peace
looks unpromising. These Hungarian
correspondents will take the message
back to Budapest. where 1t will be con-
veyed to the highest officials and thence
into Germany. That Germany still needs
to wake up to the realities Of the situa
ton is shown by survey of the rrovin-
cial press. These newspapers are good
naturedly optimistic on the attitude Of
Berlin toward Americas war prepara-
tions. l cite. as typical American news
an item in the widely read and inf1uen-
tial Hamburger Fremdenblatt Of Thurs
day. 1t is a dispatch to the Cologne Ga
zette from Amsterdam. which, under the
headlines Peace Demonstration in Chi
cago Continues" says:
ITO be sure It has been reported that
the registration Of 10000. 900 serviceable
Americans took place without any dis
turbance worthy noticing, but never
theless peace demonstrations appear to
have taken place some days ago, caus-
ing the minister Of justice to resort to
radical measures. In Chicago the
demonstrations were occasioned by q
street orator, who called out: Why will
you American workers fight against Ger
man working men" The speaker round1y
abused the President. and there were
hurrahs for the kaiser, whereupon the
police took a hand. In Cleveland the
police saw themselves necessitated to
make an attack on crowd. and fifteen
were wounded and ten arrested.

Very Little Else Available.

auently, bread plays a vastly moro i'm

food authorities were seized with sud-

They either discovered or pretended to
discover that the supply of grain in the
country was far below the original es-
innate. They gave two reasons for tho
oiscrepancy. They alleged. flrst, that

STOCKHOLM. June 9.-The Worlds

tration for conscription in the United
States was the first, and, SO far. the only
news OF that undertaking to reach
Scandinavia, and it was read eagerly by
Americans here. Wherever the CORE
spondent, Paul Revere like, carried the

favorable augury that America was on
its way to have a real army and that
the draft WAS proof positive that there
was no bluff about Americas entry into
the war.
I passed the Worlds exclusive bulletin
