AUSTRIAN FOOD SUPPLY
IS ALMOST EXHAUSTED

Washington, June 22.-Offiical
dispatches received here today
founded on information gathered at
Berne reflect the seriousness of the
food situation in Austria Hungary
and the difficulties of Ludendorff,
the German quartermaster general,
of supplying his armies on the west
ern front.
They tell of the diversion of food
in Ukraine and BesSarabia, prom
ised to the Austrians, to the Ger
mans themselves and recite corre-
spondence between Ludendorff and
the mayors of Vienna and Budapest
in which the mayors gave warning
that they could not be responsible
for preserving order under such
conditions, and could give no help.
Austrian food supplies have been
exhausted since April T, and Aus
tria has been trusting in an agree
ment with Germany to furnish food
up to August IS.
On June IA, appeals by telegraph
began to go to the German high
command declaring that under eX-
isting arrangements only 90 truck
loads of food were available for
the whole of Austria from the new
ly available supplies in the Ukraine
and Bessarabia.

FEDERAL REGULATION
EFFECTIVE JULY

Washington, June 22.-Restric-
tions on the use of sugar by manu-
facturers will be drawn much
tighter by new regulations, effective
July |, it was announced today by
Food Administrator Hoover. The
new measures are expected to pre-
vent any serious scarcity of sugar

same time to put the nation as a
whole on a three pound per capita
monthly ration.
Manufactured products will be
allowed so per cent of the normal
requirements in comparison with
the allotment Of so per cent now in
effect. Several commodities hereto
fore classed as essential foodstuffs,
in which sugar is used. are placed
in the non-essential class by the
new regulations.

facturers after July ! will be reduced

tion. Soda fountains will be cut TO

RAISE IN RATES ADDS

TO EXPRESS COMPANIES

Washington, June 22.-Tcn per
cent increase in express rates was
approved today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and will
add about 100000 to the gross
annual revenues of the American
Railway Express Company" the
consolidated concern which takes
over the entire interstate express
business of the country July /.
The commission refused to allow
IS per cent advance, but hereafter
Director General McAdoo will have
jurisdiction over rates of the new
company. and another increase may
be initiated if 10 per cent is found
insufficient to cover higher opcrat-
ing expenses. Officials believe, how
ever, that economies to be effected
by the consolidation will enable the
company to make adequate profit on
the advance allowed.

HUNGER MAY SOON
BRING REVOLUTION

Washington, June N.-Today's S
state department advices make plain
that there is no doubt of extremely
serious food situation in Austria.
The reports come indirectly from
representative of the United States
in neutral countries, but they point
to the gravit yof the situation.
I'VE have no direct information
regarding a new peace offensive on
the part of Austria" it was stated
today at the department, but we are
satisfied that the repors of food
storage in that harassed country
are true. 1t is believed that the
Austrians cannot hope for any re-
lief of consequence from this con-
dition until the crops come on in
August or September OF this year,
and from all accounts the people
cannot escape famine until then.
Look back over history and you
will see that almost all revolutions
have been started because of lack OF
food"

A Bulgarian commission has

cerning a change in relations

with the fact that the present

posed to an alliance with Ger

of the strict censorship, but
what little news filters out

shows that the Austrian people

Manufacture of heavy pieces

closes.
Because of the length of time

tensive concern to manufacture
of projectiles, although machin-
cry has been or is being estab-
lished by which the ammuni-
ton can be supplied in short or

All of the new heavy guns
provided for in the bill will be
mounted on railway cars, or

partment, as was recently init
mated, is expecting a change
from the trench to the open
style of warfare.

Need of artillery in France is
shown by the statement of the

American coast defenses are be-

clear, however, that none oi the
important coast defenses has
been dismantled.
The navy has supplied the

Washington, June 22.-Plans
OF the war department for car
rying the warfare on the west
ern front beyond the trench
stage by vast production of
heavy mountain, siege and field
guns were made known today
through the approval by the
house appropriations commit
tee of the largest fortifications
program ever submitted by any
government. The bill carried
total of 35,09o,224, the
principal expenditures being for
heavy artillery. OF the entire
sum, $2,O00,000,000 is asked as
a cash appropriation and the re-
minder for contract authorize
tions.
Three Million Men.
Based on an American army OF
three million men, the plans
which the measure supports
have been approved by the in
ter-allied war council, through
General Pershing, it was stat
ed by Representative Borland
of Missouri, chairman of the
subcommittee which framed the
bill.
While the program provides
for home defenses from posi-
bic German air raids, and for
coast defense, the chief concern
is for the production of field
artillery. The total appropria-
ton for heavy guns is 81 ,229,-
731,205.
The report of the committee
shows that the new government
plant for production of heavy
artillery at Neville Island, in the
Ohio river, near Pittsburgh, IS
to equal the famous Krupp plant
in Germany. For the Neville
Island plant $30,000,000 is ap-
propriated.

BEHAVIOR OF AMERI-

SAYS TRAINING CORRECT
Unified Command on Western
Front Is Praised by Chief of
Staff Who Declares President
Wilson Was the Originator.

Washington, June 22.-American
troops have done we'll wherever the
test of battle has come thus far,
General March, chic fof staff, said
today regarding the character of the
troops, whether regulars, National
Guard, National Army or Marines.
The fight at Cantigny, the most
important engagement in which the
American troops have participated,
because it gave opportunity to Judge
of the full measure of their train
ing, he said, has been fought by the
first division, and commanded by
Major General Robert l.. Bullard.
This division is now, he said,
thoroughly trained high grade unit
and was the first American division
to reach France.
Close Cooperation.
At Cantigny, General March said,
infantry and artillery operated in
close cooperation to achieve vic
tory, showing the successful work
of the staff officers upon whom
that cooperation depended. The
fight clearly showed, he said, that
the training of the American gen
eral staff officers had reached the
point where the system would work
under battle strain
One of the most striking things
on the western front, the chief of
staff declared, was the supreme inn
portance of unified command.
This was first advocated, he added,
by President Wilson and carried
through under the presidents con-
slant pressure until unity of COM
mnd was realized in the appoint
ment of General Foch. General
March regarded that as one of the
greatest single military achieve
ments of the allies. which was al
ready showing its effect in the fight
ing.
Interest on Italian Front.
During the past week. General
March said. the fighting in France
hs been of a minor character.
Interest for the allies has center
ed on the Italian front. where the
Austrian drive at two points on
the Piave line penetrated deeply
enough to cause concern. That Of
fensive has now been checked, he
added. and the swollen waters of
the Piave aided in repelling the at
tack.
General March deprecated discus
sion of the participation of Amer
lean combat forces on the Italian
front for the present.
Some American ambulance Sec
tions are in Italy. but the chief Of
staff thought it unwise to disclose
any other movements in prospect
for that front at this time.
