HOLLAND TO SHIP FOOD TO GERMANY
 IS ANNOUNCED
CRv RevIew Leasod Wlrel


 WASHINGTON, July 1.-Official an- nouncement from The Hague that The Netherlands has agreed to export Do- tatoes from the new crop in equal quantities to the belligerent nations, brought the disclosure today that the United States has information of HOl- lands intention to export 5O,OOO tons of potatoes to Germany.
 Officials believe that in expressing a willingness to export potatoes to each of the belligerents. Holland is un- dertaking to disguise her intention of supplying large quantities of food to Germany alone. Shipments to Ger many already are under way. accord ing to cable advices, the movement fol- lowing closely Germany's reduction of the potato ration from seven to three pounds weekly.
 To furnish Germany 50,000 tons of potatoes, Holland. it was said not only would violate an agreement with Great Britain to supply that country and Germany each with 5000 tons of pO- tatoes yearly, but probably would be imperiling her food agreement with the United States.
 This country promised Ihe Netner' lands grain in large quantities. Since much already has been shipped, of ficials were of the opinion the govern ment might have to take drastic re- taliatory actions against Holland if she insists on allowing Germany 50.- 900 tons of potatoes at a time when the central powers are believed to be experiencing a food crisis
 Hollands willingness to give Ger many this great amount of food occa- stoned surprise among officials in view of the recent famine in that country which was narrowly averted by prompt action of the American government in shipping grain and oth- CT fOOdstuffs. Word is reaching Wash ington that already protests are being heard in Holland Er-. 1f-T l
