Will Germany crack under the strain
That is the question in the minds Of all
members Of the administration since
the receipt Of the official dispatches

offensive and the desperate moves by
Germany to meet It.

Whether Germany is able to weather
the storm at home and abroad now
depends chiefly upon the allies. II Rus.

crushed and Germany shaken. II the
French and British are able to take
advantage Of the situation by deliver

transfer Of troops to the eastern front
Germany may find herself being
crushed.

lister of posts and telegraphs, as re-
suit Of their negotiations concerning
the Ukratnians.
The resigning ministers criticize the

specify of what territories the Ukraine
consists or make clear how it shall be
governed.
Governmental Right Involved.
The opposition members of the ca;b1-
net assert that only the legislative
body has a right to determine the fu-
ture form Of the government Of the
Ukraine, whereas, according to the dec
laration Of NJ. Tsreschtenka and NJ.
Teseretalli, the ukrainians appear to
be proceeding Informally to draw up
their own government.

raine.
The provisional government decided
on the creation OF HI executive body to

threatened to put an end to this very
worthy project, seems to have been
solved by the personal efforts OF Will

Wednesday Mr. Ullman called

the matter had been thoroughly gone

should be sent to all private owners
of automobiles in the city. asking them
to donate the use of their cars for at

duce, 4. 900 cars Refrigerator cars and
the attendant labor of icing them will
be required for the movement OF to-
matoes and peaches.
COMPARISONS between freight or ex-
press charges and motor truck costs
in transporting farm products are said
to be n shade in favor Of the latter. AS
it is now, the railroads exact a pretty
stiff toll from the trucks for transpor-
tation across the Delaware river on
the ferries to the Philadelphia mar
kets.
Where Farmer Profits.
Where the farmer profits the most
by the motor truck. however. is in
time saving and in reaching the mar
kets with his products at a time when
they bring the best prices. A few
hours difference in time makes a diff
ference of several dollars in the re-
turns from a load of produce. and rail
shipments that arrive late have to be
sold at a big sacrifice or thrown away.
Twice as many trips can be made to
who have replaced their horses or
mules with motors. In these days OF
labor shortage and high wages this is
no small item. and explains the reason
for the doubling of sales Of motor
trucks among the farmers this season
FOR the owners Oh small farms OF
growers who do not have full loads
of produce to ship at times, the auto
freight system is proving a boon. South
Jersey has a number of these auto
freight routes. One method is to have
the trucks pick up the shipments OF
vegetables and fruits at the farms and
take them direct into the markets. and
another is to have the farmers haul
their products to central shipping
points.

The material is brought mainly to Alex
