Berlin correspondent
A dispatch from Karlsruhe to the
"Vossische Zeitung,' of Berlin, how
ever, presents hopeful picture of the
situation in Baden, where a state con-
stituent assembly will meet on Janu-
ary to adopt a constitution. The en-

Hear U. S. Will Hold Up Food
The Socialist "Vorwaerts," of Ber-
lin. publishes the following:
Information has been received that
Admiral Beatty refused to negotiate
with the delegates from the Workmen's
and Soldiers Council because thew
were not representatives of any recog-
nized government
"Furthermore, we learn that food
supplies of which the United States
had held out a prospect, will be held
up temporarily in Rotterdam and Cop
enhagen because the American gov
eminent intends to wait and see
whether Germany is able to give the
assurances demanded by America for
a tree constitution and a fair distri
button of supplies"
A neutral correspondent writes to
"The Morning Post" that he has re-
ceived letter from Kiel in which this
occurs:
eve are better off for food this wear
than in 1917. There is plenty of grain
and potatoes, so there will be no short
age"
Same Rations for Soldiers
1t is pointed out, in connection with
the appeal of DR.. w. S. Solf to the
United States for food, that there are
two kinds of rations in use in Ger
many That for the soldiers in the
first lines has been much larger than
that granted the rest of the nation.
1t is said DR.. Solf appears anxious
that the front-line standard shall be
maintained for the large body of troops
returning from the front. This ration
is considerably more generous than
that to which the British people have
been accustomed during the last four
years.
At joint meeting Of the Soldiers
and Workmen's Councils of the Ger
man navy it has been decided to form
a main committee for the naval arm of
the service. 1t will represent all the
councils of the navy and will have it's
headquarters at Wilhelmshaven.
The tifty-three delegates from the
councils will elect five comrades as a
central committee of the navy. These
committeeman must be Socialists. All
orders of the Ministry of Marine and
the Admiralty staff must be signed by
these five men, according to Will
