GET FOODSTUFFS
FROM NEUTRALS
Germans Able to Import
Enough To Supply Hin
denburg's Army
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, July 3.-Germany is
obtaining from Holland and the Sean
dinavtan countries enough foodstuffs
to ration Hindenburg's entire army
of $500, 900 men on the western front,
and enough fats to ration 7.700, 900
soldiers. They can do this largely
with the food supplies for their own
consumption from the United States.
This was made public today by
Herbert G. Hoover, food administra-
tor, as the basis for embargoes which
the exports control commission is
expected shortly to impose upon cer-
tain food supplies to the European
neutrals unless they cease rationing
the German army. The United States,
1t is contended, cannot expect to de-
feat Germany while 1t indirectly is
furnishing food to the German
troops.
obviously" says Hoover, strict
enforcement Of the blockade through
Scandinavia necessarily would elm
mate the foodstuffs from German
diets. The embargoes need not en-
danger in the least the food supplies
OF Holland and Scandinavia for their
own people. It is merely to prevent
furnishing foodstuffs for the German
people.
Germany always has opposed pur-
chasing for cash, desiring TO protect
the exchange rate. Coal has enabled
Germany to exact from Scandinavia
and Holland food in return for this
fuel for which. they were almost abb
solutely dependent upon Germany.
Producers and merchants in Holland
and Scandinavia organized violating
laws against exporting supplies,

One generator furnishes the electric

generator is old and worn and has for
some time been overloaded.

American Soldiers Get Ready to
Take to Life Boats-Descrbes Pro-

| Marshalltown soldier boys on their
way to France nearly felt the terror OF
the German submarine, saw one ready
TO attack, made ready to take to the
| life boats, and had the satisfaction OF
seeing the submarine sunk by an Eng
lish destroyer All this intensely in
teresting news to Marshall county peo-
pie is in a letter received Thursday
from Vernon KoontZ, son of SupeTin-
tendent and Mrs. J. c. koontz. OF the
county farm. The letter was dated
on shipboard Sept 5. News OF the
safe arrival Of the transport in a
French port was received here oy caole
some time ago
On the same transport with koontZ
were Charles Peckham, Ben Goodale,
across the transport stopped at Liver
pool. but for how long the letter did not
say. In fact a good deal Of the letter
was deleted by the censor.
See Submarine Destroyed.
There were fourteen ships in the
squadron that set sail from Halifax
after being held there for long time.
They travelled together until they ap-
preached the submarine danger zone
off the British Isles. There they sep
arated, each ship taking a different
route and there each ship was met by
two English destroyers. Koontz de-
scr;bes these small! high speed destroy
ers most interestingly. Continually, he
wrote, the two destroyers assigned to
each transport patroled the ship.

watch.
The day before the transport steamed
into Liverpool harhor a submarine was
sighted. II was apparently preparing
for an attack. The men on board were
summoned 20 their prearranged as
signed posts, and the life boats We're
made ready Some were loaded. Koontz
said there was not much excitement
and all the boys seemed to be calm
and collected. Before the submar.ne
could attack one OF the destroyers
drove down upon Il. Koontz described
how the submarine was sunk. but this
interesting information was cut out by
the censor.
AS they neared the coast they
sighted dirig!ble balloons scouting for
submarines. The trip otherwise, koontz
wrote, was uneventful. The boys had
nothing much TO do but sit around,
read, and try not to get lonesome and
homesick.
