GERMAN FOOD SUPPLY
BEING DEBATED IN
TEUTON PAPERS

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 6. = Wheth-
er the German food supply is suffi-
cient to last another year of war is
being debated in German newspa-
pers with signs of apprehension.
Calculations warrant the belief
that we can hold out provided the
most stringent measures are taken
to regulate clandestine traffic in
food" says the Cologne Volks Zeit-
ing. It's estimate is based on fig
ures showing the German food sup
ply collected by Stegerwald, a mem
Der of the Prusian diet.
Nevertheless" adds the paper,
"Stegerwald's figures show that we
have a Siegfried position also at
home" The significance lies in
the fact that the Siegfried position
on the western front went down be-
fore allied attacks.
After e~ndeavoring to bolster up
the waning confidence of the Ger
mans, the Volks Zeitung says:
Meat distribution must be furth-
err curtailed. Cattle have decreased
2,O0O,0 900 head, compared with last
year, while the number of pigs has
been very seriously reduced. Meat
less days must be maintained and
consumption of game and poultry
placed under much more severe con
troll. Measures must be devised
whereby all classes will lie treated
alike and clandestine slaughter be
ruthlessly suppressed"

ARMY r. NEEDED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 5. =
Ten thousand nurses for the army
nurse corps will be needed by Jan.
l, 1919, and $4,000 additional by
June 1 of next year, it was an
nounced here today.
THE impression has gone out
that no more nurses are needed"
the statement continues. "This is
a mistake calculated to do immense
harm and to cause serious shortage
of nurses in army hospitals at the
critical time when many wounded,
gassed and ill soldiers will be re-
turned from the front on army
transports.
Capable women desiring to enter
the army service or wishing prelimi-
nary information should communi-
cate with the American Red Cross
at the headquarters nearest them.

APPROACH OF PROHIBITION IS
KEEPING down WHISKEY PRICE

prices rose and on paper some of
the holders were millionaires.
The order stopping production
for beverage purposes sent prices
upward until newes WHISTLES ap-
preached SO a gallon in bond. own
ers counted gains in big figures
and many held on for higher prices.
The cautious ones unloaded at the
peak, however.
Then came the certainty of pro.
hibition for the duration of the war
and that greatly increased taxes
must be paid. Prices crashed and
brought the low levels of today.
There are between 10000, 900 and
40, 900, 900 gallons of whisky avail
able for sale today on which the
tax has been paid. The present
tax on whisky is $500 a proof gal
Ion. Dealers said they expected the
new $4,000, 900, 900 revenue bill to
provide a tax of at least double and
probably treble the present rate.

tigued from fast walking in their
eagerness to keep pace with the
fleeing Germans.
AS the Americans poured into
the village and the French realized
more and more that Thiaucourt had
come into her own, men stood in
the streets and cried openly and
women sat about on doorsteps and
bits of wreckage caused by shells
and wept until near exhaustion.
And in the confusion the children
cheered, but even some of them, the
older ones realizing what it all
meant, cried, too, and kissed the
hands of the officers and men.
What food they had On hand the
French turned over to the Ameri-
cans, the villagers insisting upon
the Americans taking all they want
ed of what they had. So in the
streets and in the houses, some of
them occupied only a few hours
previously by German officers and
men, the Aemricans made them
selves at home for a short breathing
spell. and the French population of
the village endeavored to satisfy
the appetites of their deliverers.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. 1. =
After Is months of extreme uncer-
tainty in the whisky market, the
price of bonded goods today in Ken
lucky, the largest straight whisky
producing state in America, is 95
cents to $1.15 a gallon.
The imminence of complete pro-
hibition, coupled with the belief
that higher taxes may cause a mark
ed decrease in consumption, is ex-
pected by large operators to keep
prices at a low level. A few deal
ers, however, believe the approach
of prohibition will stimulate de-
mand and bring high prices.
The sudden sweeping market
changes have kept operators in a
turmoil. A year and a half ago
many of them would have been
bankrupt had they been forced to
liquidate their holdings. Then

GREAT Argentine Waterfall
TO BE USED TO DEVELOP power

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 1. Re-
atriction of exports as a result of
TIE war has caused Argentina to
scek the development of its natural
resources.
A proposal now receiving a great
amount of publicity and general APP
prevail in the newspapers is the sug-
gestion made by the minister of
agriculture, DR.. Pueyrredon, to
President Irigoyen that the govern
ment build an electric power plant
at Igazu falls, which, the minister
says, would solve the fuel problem,
open up vast regions of rich re-
sources which are now dormant for
lack of transportation facilities and
bring Argentina and Brazil closer
together commercially by e of
an electric railroad.
One of the principal arguments
of the minister's friends is that the
proposed power plant would do
more than any other one thing to-

ward developing shipbuilding in Ar
gentina, as it would open up the
rich pine forests of Missiones and
provide smelters for reducing the
limonite which is found in large
quantities in this region and said to
contain as high as so per cent of
iron. The working of the forests
would also permit the manufacture
of print paper, which has been so
here.
The Igazu falls are among the
largest in the world, being nearly
SO feet higher than Niagara and
three times as wide. They are in
the Igazu river in the Argentina
territory of Missiones, on the Bra
lillian frontier. One section, known
as the DEVILS throat, is reported to
carry as much water as the Niagara
river.
DIR. Pueyrredon conferred with
the Brazilian minister here on the
question of the two governments
cooperating on the proposition.

PITS AND SHELLS
TO Be SAVED HERE

Jack H. REEVE yesterday brought
to the Tribune a box of peach
stones, now badly needed by the
government for the manufacture of
charcoal for gas masks. The pits
and shells of all kinds of nuts are
in big demand.
On suggestion of Mr.. REEVE and
as is being lone in many large cit
les, a barrel will be placed On the
Tribune corner, near the bulletin
board, and pits and shells may be
placed in it for shipment by the Red
Cross. Further than that the gov
eminent reduces them to charcoal
for use in what is said by experts
to be the best mask used in any of
the armies fighting in Europe, moth
ing is known of what becomes OF
the stones and shells, as the process
used in preparing them is a secret.
Experiments have shown that no
other kind of wood is as satisfac-
tory for protection against all of
the wide variety of gases in use on
the west front.

ARRIVAL OF AMERICANS THRILLED
FRENCH RESIDENTS IN THIAUCOURT

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN FRANCE, Nov. cit was three
American ~privates who gave the
French civilians of the German oc-
cupied village of Thiaucourt the
greatest thrill of their lives. For
four years they had been waiting,
and then the Americans came.
When the three ~privates. an add
vance guard of warns of other
Americans in their wake, swung
into the torn village of Thiaucourt
not a soul was in the streets. But
within a few minutes news spread
among the 700 civilians that the
Americans were there and men and
women and children came in droves
from cellars where they had been
hiding in terror for two days and
nights. And from other cellars and
dugouts there came 600 German
soldiers who we're delighted with
the idea of giving up.
The offensive of the first Ameri-

WERE FAR FROM
FREE TO DECIDE
THEIR FUTURE

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 6. = Fin
land became a monarchy instead of
a republic simply because the Firms
yielded to German domination, ac-
cording to a communication from
Finnish sources published in the
Berlin Vorwaerts. The correspond
ent asserts that up to April last the
Finnish leaders we're determined to
organize a republic, but in May the
government withdrew the measure
for its organization and advocated
a monarchy, giving as its reason the
fact that Germany desired 1t.
The Vorwaerts asserts that al
though the German government pre-
tended to be neutral on this ques-
ton, the political section of the
German general staff supported a
monarchy in Finland.
"In reality we we're not Free"
writes the Finnish correspondent.
German troops were quartered
throughout Finland and warships
lay in Helsingfors harbor. The Fin
nish foreign minister announced in
the Finland Diet in July that the
German government wanted a mon
archist government in Finland.
The Finnish communication as
serts that some of the Firms refuse
to recognize a German prince as a
king of Finland.
The Vorwaerts predicts that a
time will come when the German
rulers of the new Baltic countries
will be packed off home bag and
baggage. 1t asserts that the Ger
man people have been kept in ignor-
ance of the developments in Finland
and that this has created a danger
Gus position for Germany in the
east.
