FOOD SITUATION IN
GERMANY IS NOT BAD
Traveller Says Conditions Not
Nearly So Bad As Reported
Crop Outlook Good

Washington, May 2l.-That an ex.
aggerated impression regarding the
scarcity of food in Germany was in
spired by the Tavy and Agrarian party
in Germany, was stated in authentic
dispatches reaching here today.
The dispatches were from "a reli,
able Observer who travelled through
the country late in April He declared
that the food situation is much better
than generally supposed.
The cablegrams state that pessimis-
tic reports were spread to impress the
German people of the necessity of sub
marine warfare and to cover up the
fraudulent issuance of $4,000 900 worth
of bread cards.
The observer was unable to find any
serious shortage of food except in the
larger cities. Even in the big cities cor
ditiOns are mending, owing to improve
men in distribution and acquisition of
fresh sources of supply.
The information confirms statements
by Herbert Hoover, new food admins
TRAITOR. AS a result of improved food
transportation facilities the potato ra-
tion has been increased and the meat
and fat ration practically doubled. One
million children have been transported
from the cities to the country districts
where they can get better food.
From conversations with all classes
the observer states "a general impress
sion is gained that the government and
the people are on the whole optimistic
regarding food conditions. The pros
poets for the new harvest appear to be
greatly improved

In all probability Governor Witty
conbc will not issue proclamation
setting aside June as legal holiday
in this state on account Of the fact
that June 3 is Sunday, June 4 the
special election day, so that if he made
June legal holiday it would tie up
business for three full days, which, in
these times, is net deemed to be wise.
Governor Withycombc had planned,
before the date of the registration day
had been set, to make the day a legal
holiday, but on account of the situa
ton he will probably only ask that it
be celebrated as holiday without in
terrupting business by making the day
a legal holiday.
