BY Associated PrtSs.1
LONDON, October 1.-THE Press AS
sociation. from reliable source, pub
lishes an economic review of the con-
dttion of the central powers, in the
course OF which it says that as a re-
suit OF special investigation ordered
by the German Chancellor Of the 1917
harvest II is estimated that the yield
Will be 40 per cent lower than in normal
years for wheat and As per cent lower
Tor rye, oats and barley.
The total harvest Of wheat and rye
amounts to 100000 tons, compared to
l3,0oOo0o tons in 1913. The shortage
VIII be partly compensated from the
Roumanian granaries
The reviewer considers that the food
situation in Germany during the COM
ing winter will depend mainly on the
results OF the potato harvest. At pres
cnt potatoes are being delivered with
iair regularity, but should frost, lack
or labor, or other reasons cause a short
age In potatoes, 1t will spell disaster
The situation in Austria Hungary. I,

STATE TAXES DUE
City Treasurer Pace Advises Public ia
Pny Promptly and Avoid
Rush.

State taxes are now payable, and the
office Of City Treasurer Pace, at the
City Hall. is ready to receive them
If not paid before December 1, penalty
will be added.
Last year there was unavoidable de-
lay in arranging to receive the taxes
because Of the radical change in Vir-
Einia's law, and as December l ap-
preached the public suffered consider
able inconvenience on account of the
congestion at the City Treasurer's of
nee. Persons who were forced to spend
hours waiting for a chance to pay their
taxes have not forgotten their eXpe-
rience, and will, no doubt. take ad-
vantage of the opportunity now offered
to pay their taxes and avoid the elev-
enth hour rush.
Poll taxes are also payable at this
time, and penalty will not be add ed
until after November 30. They must
be paid by the second Tuesday in De-
cember in order to vote in the elections
next spring and fall.

ORDERS FOR COLORED
DRAFT TED MEN RECEIVED
Will Report at Camp Lee, beginning
on October ~, In Five
InstallmentS.
AFFECTS NEARLY 5000 MEN
Those From Richmond Ready and
Eager to DO Their Part, and Drill
ing Has Been Inaugurated i'm Two
of the Divisions.

Orders for the colored men who have
been accepted under the selective draft
to move into training camp were given
by E'rovost-Marshal General Crowder
ana instructions affecting those
in Virginia, who will go to Camp Lee,
were received by Governor Stuart. The
movement Will start on October 81 and
continue for five days. the men being
moved In quotas of 20 per cent each
day.
Receipt OF the orders from Washing
ton brings to an end the uncertainty
regarding the status of the colored Sc
lectmen. much to the delight OF most
OF them. Those who have been drafted
and realize that they must do their
part in the war to preserve the worlds
democracy have become keenly inter-
estcd in military work. and many OF
them have been decidedly impatient
with what they regarded as undue de-
lay In going to camp. The impression
had become prevalent that the negroes
would be sent to their training camps
on October 3. and when this did not
materialize there was considerable dis
satisfaction.
ANXIOUS TO ASSUME
DUTIES IN NATIONAL ARMY
Many OF these drafted men arc an
Xious to assume their duties In the
National Army. and. in order to pre-
pare themselves for military life. have
been enthusiastically drilling. John G.
Dabney, who formerly served in the
regular army. has been putting the
men of the various Richmond divisions
through the manual Of arms. and with
marked success.
In Virginia there arc between $500
and 5000 colored men who Will serve
in tho National Army, and. while no
definite announcement has been forth
coming ii Is expected that all of them
will be sent to Camp Lee on the same
day, between October 81 and Novem-
Der l. Details for this will have to be
worked out.
With definite orders in hand. Adju-
tant-Gcneral w. w. Sale will at once
take up with representatives OF the
different railroads the question OF the
movement Of the Virginia quota, pre-
vious preparations having been for the
white troops only.
In Richmond the colorcd draftics Of
Division No. have been unusually ac-
tive in their drills. II. Watkins Eller-
son, chairman OF the local board of
division No. ., last night issued a call
for all of the colored men of this dis
trict TO report at the Richmond Acad-
cmy campus each afternoon at o'clock
between to-day and the day they leave
for Camp Lee. in order TO continue
their drills. There are about 100 men
in this division. Mr.. Ellerson Is an
Nious that the employers of these men
permit them to leave their work in
time to take part in the drills.
