GERMANY'S FOOD SUPPLY
IN SERIOUS CONDITION
ASSOCIATED Press by q. s Naval wirelsss)

(Associated Press by q. s Naval wircless)
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, October
22.-Discussion of the food situation
by the Prussian diet yesterday, of
which reports reached here last night
indicate that it is not so rosy as the
government has sought to lead the
people to believe. Some salient truths
as to the food situation of the nation
were told in the discussion in the diet,
the reports said. There was evidence
that considerable alarm is felt and it
was declared that further and greater
economies must be practised during a
coming hard winter.
1t is true that the potato crop has
been good and has had tendency to
brighten hopes of fuller market
baskets but, on the other hand, the
wheat crop is bad and other cereal
crops are also showing heavy short
ages. ....
. The only hopes that are. given for
making the supply of bread last
through, the year and to the next
harvest are to impair the quality still
further or else to reduce the already
small allowance of the bread ration.
Either of the proposals is considered
certain to work great suffering and to
rouse a more determined insistence
of efforts to bring about peace with
out annexation or indemnities.

opened great gaping hole in her side

At that time of the day many OF the
crew and the soldier passengers were
still asleep in their ber;hs. Numbers
OF these we're killed. The engineers,
oilers and mechanics who were at
work below were killed almost to 4
man. Those who were uninjured hur-
ried 20 the decks and took the posi-
tons as they had been drilled to do.
There was no disorder, no rushing,

was not greater.

gun crew is extended in the de-

til the bow pitched deeply forward and
the stern had reared high out OF the

that the captain and members OF the
gun crew leaped far out into the ocean

w VdSHluSlOu OuClc Odu lS rather
pleasantly surprised at the way the
nation is standing the war tax gaff.
The grouching, such as there is, has
been grOwled in minor key, and most
Of it comes from the trouble-makers,
the whining paciists, those Of sick
ly cast of loyalty.
Nobody really enjoys paying excess
taxes, such as three cents postage for
letters, extra charge for freight, ex-
press and passenger transportation,
telephone and telegraph messages and
amusements. But all true Americans
who realize that the kaiser is to blame
for the trouble, stand ready and will
ing to pay their share Of the cost Of
exterminating the worlds greatest
menace.
BY the way, do you know that If
you are single and earn more than
$1,000 yearly, you must pay two per
cent x on what you make over 81 900.
And If you are married, you must pay
two per cent on what you make over
$4,000. The tax for all of 1917 must
be paid by June 1, 1913.
All Of the new taxes fall upon the
average man. They have nothing to
do with the transcription of wealth"
They are a part of the program of
taxation to make each man, woman
and child in the United States feel a
direct personal part in the war. They
apply to freight, passenger and ex-
press transportation, pipe lines, Pull
man seats and berths, telegraph and
telephone messages, insurance poll
cies, admissions to theaters and
movies" and to club dues. The ef-
feet of most of them is felt, therefore,
in a slight rise in the high cost of
living.
The taxes are expected to net the
