sharply criticised yesterday by speak

This speaker corroborated the charges
OF the socialist deputy Ebert. made at
Tuesdays session, on the food and fuel
situation. He alluded to the utter con-

and declared the situation aroused great
depression and bitterness.
Herr Roeslchke. president Of the Ger
man Farmers Union. also said that the
grain crop had suffered greatly because
of drought. He expressed hope for the
crop growing on heavy soils, which
usually prospered in dry seasons. He
said that even the early potato yield
was poor, but that the late potatoes
usually made up for this.

the dispatches concerning the latest
battle on the western front This most
, interesting story is to the effect that
the whole battle of Messines was re-

that "as the capture of Vimy ridge was
planned and studied out on a small
scale model, so the Messines attack was
rehearsed on an open-air model cover.

courts. The ridge was reproduced in
miniature to the smallest detail and
for weeks before the battle the units
engaged in 1t practised the particular
role assigned to them under most real
istic conditions"
Also It is intimated that the whole
thing was pulled off according to a
schedule of time-that is, that such a
thing was to happen at such a nome Mt
and such another thing was to. happen
at stipulated time, and so on. 1t is
asserted that "the only thing tendine
to interfere with the British time table
was the impetuosity of the Irish troops
-nationalists and Ulstermen fighting
side by side. They were inclined to
go ahead and conquer German posi-
tions before the time set by the general
staff"

be calculated exactly as to time, what
chance has the romancer? Really, 1t
