CONDITIONS IN GERMANY.
Food is Scarce and Population
Growing Desperate.

New York World Correspondent.
Berne, January 9.-I am able to send
you the following trustworthy account
of Germany at the beginning of 1918.
owe 1t to a distinguished Hollander,
who has just passed through here on
his way to Swiss health resort.
His impressions were formed In
Germany during the latter part Of last
month in the course of an important
mission. Owing to the nature Of this
mission ad the credentials he pre-
sented, my informant was treated with
great consideration by the authorities
and on one occasion was entertained
at luncheon by representatives Of the
German government.
Only Rich Can Stave OF Hunger.
LET me first tell the truth about
the German food situation as I saw
it," he said. "Only the very rich can
stave Off the pangs Of hunger.
Il called on two women friends who
live in n hourishing Rhemish town.
The principal ambition Of these two
women was to procure some conden-
sed milk. Their maid spent almost all
her time, as most servants now do In
Germany, running from shop to shop
trying to get food.
How much weight have you lost
recently" Is a question you hear ask
ed on all sides. Soldiers told me they
lost as much as twenty pounds during
brief period Of leave at home.
Conversation everywhere Is about
food. and the German who told me
that What Is going through our head
Is our stomach summed up the situ-
alton exactly.
You see very few dogs in Germany,
for two different reasons There Is no
food to give the dogs and the people
have eaten the dogs Tor food.

Two miles farther up the road Cor

had turned a bend in the trail and
had come upon an empty stage bur-

He cut across over the hill toward
the draw, and at what he saw his

STORY OF TRoTZKY
Assumed His Present Name az Means
OF Escape from Paris.

OF escape from Paris.
New York World.
In talks with friends in this city
some months ago. Trotzky. Russia's
minister Of foreign affairs. revealed
incidents Of his career that were new
to those who were familiar with his
life. One OF these relates to the
change Of his name from Leon Bron-
stein, his real name. to Leon Trotzky.
under which name he has suddenly
become world figure.
This shift OF names was the out
growth of conditions that seemed des-
tined to make an end Of Russia's pres.
ent minister OF foreign affairs In his
early activities as q social revolu-
ZIONIST.
AS president Of the first Council OF
Workmen's Delegates at Petrograd In
1905. Trotzky. then Bronstein. fell un-
der the ban Of the Russian govern
ment. was arrested, tried, convicted
and exiled for life to Siberia.
Among the political prisoners in the
penal colony to which the future
leader OF the Bolsheviki was con-
dcmned to hard work in the mines.
he was marked by the authorities as
dangerous" and was guarded night
and day.
Bronstein Is tall. broad -shouldered
and square jawed. with black hair
and keen hazel eyes, set wide apart.
In almost every physical detail he
was an exact counterpart Of the jail
er under whose whip he worked and
under whose guard he slept. This
jailers name was Trotzky.
The striking resemblance OF pris-
oner and keeper was unconsidered
amid the hardships Of penal slav-
mind saw In II his one opportunity
for an escape. II took Bronstein near
ly two years to perfect his plans. To
attempt escape without q passport 30
forged as to deceive the Russian DO
lice would be to court certain failure.
so to this task Of forgery the prisoner
devoted every energy.
Months passed before friends sue
ceeded In smuggling to him q small
camera, with which he managed TO
take a picture Of the unsuspecting
Trotzky. without this picture the
forged passport would have been use
less.
Half a year then slipped by before
the chance for escape came, and all
that time Bronstein devoted to the
task Of perfecting his resemblance TO
Trotzky. He has told his friends how
he studied every expression Of the
tailers face and made them his own:
how he trained his hair and beard and
schooled his walk and every motion 10
perfect the counterfeit
When he finally escaped In q coat
belonging to his keeper. he was the
counterpart of Trotxky, and In the
weeks OF danger that followed n he
made his way toward the
Russian frontier, he again and again
encountered friends Of the real
Trotxky. who welcomed him without
a suspicion. Crossing the frontier

THAT FAMOUS REBEL YELL
Being Used BY Americans on French
Battle Lines.

Europe, the Rebel Yell Is being
used by the Americans on the battle
line in France. 1t Is said to have
stricken terror to the heart Of Fritz,
says a letter from Macon, Mo.
What is the Rebel Yell?" was ask
ed of Judge c. P. Hess, who was a
member OF the Sixth United States
cavalry and was engaged at Gettys-
burg, and twenty other big battles
during the Civil War.
Its like the howl Of "a wolf" he
said, Il have heard it many times
it hung to me for years after the war.
1t went something like this: 'y-a-e-e-
e-e-!-z-x-z- y-k-e-e' Like throwing
a pair of lighting wildcats in a sau-
sage machine"
Never knew there was Rebel
yell till read about ii in the news
papers," replied Captain Ben Eli
Guthrie, who for four years led
company OF Confederates in General
Prices Missouri army and saw hard
fighting in the west and south. The
troops OF the various states had a
distinctive battle cry, Of course, but
/ never heard anything you might
call a Rebel Yell any more than
iYank Yell Sounds to me like this
=tsasr ~ E! s ~
fase.' l believe they call it."
yell that made all the dogs in the
country howl and would start the
ROSTERS to growing like an airship
wis coming over" said Hade l..
Rutherford, former mayor Of Hunts
Vile, and who was schoolmate Of
the famous rough rider before the
Civil War. They'd give yell some
thing like 'W-a-a-a "a h -e-e-e-e
w-a-a-a." toss their bride reins In
their teeth. jerk out couple OF
Colts rcvolvers and start shooting
up the town. / don't know whether
il was the Rebel Yell or just pain
bowling, but it certainly made every
body think there was trouble in the
land and time to hunt cover"
There was a distinctive battle cry
used by the Confcdcrates in the east
when charging" testified Major S. G..
Brock, who commanded several Ohio
companies in the Virginia campaign.
1T sounded pretty bad the first time
you heard it, but our fellows got used
to it and it only made them fight the
harder. The Rebel Yell was a pro-
longed screech like some wild animal
might make. When that sound came
through the woods each man grit his
teeth and got ready for what was to
follow"
\ man who rode with Anderson,
now peaceful farmer, undertook to
repeat the Rebel Yell as he under
stood it, but the years had sapped his
steam power, and the attempt was
not u dazzling success. 1t went some
thing like
"Yeep-yeep-yep-e-e
ending with a noise like man gar
Cling his throat
Time was when we could shake
the window lights out with it," he
apologized, with some .pathos
Here's what one of the encyclope-
dias says about 1t:
"Y-y-yo-Wo-wo," the war cry OF
the Confederate soldiers In the
American Civil War Of 1S61-1S65. 1t
was adopted by the soldiers Of the
United States in the Spanish -Ameri-
can War. The sound has nothing In
the nature OF cheer. 1t is a wild
unearthly cross between a screech and
a yell that is designated to strike
terror to the enemy"
The encyclopedias version Is as
milk and water to that Of the old
guerilla's when delivered in the days
of his young and dangerous man.

HEROES.

The Hun Is not yet satisfied with
American fighting pep. Probably he
thinks We are not speeding up our
end Of the war as fast as We should.
At any rate, the sinking of the Tus-
cania and the loss Of life that went
with It, will serve as those persistent
and continued air raids on England
have served, In keying our fighting
spirit o a still higher pitch.
That more of our brave boys were
not sent to watery grave Is moth
ing short of providential. And we
have the proud knowledge of the
fact that those who did go down.
met their fate as only heroes do and
they met 1t while serving their coun-
try in the highest capacity.
To the kaiser and his people who
are clamoring for results from the
submarine warfare, the sinking of the
Tuscania will come as great victory.
but the gain of such victory will be
short lived in view of the subsequent
vigilance which will be maintained
by the allied scouts of the seas.
Statistics show that the menace Of the
U-Boat is becoming less each day and
the navy department has come forth
with the announcement that still bet

When the U-Boat is gone, what
has Germany left with which to hold
out hope for her people, so far as
victory is concerned. Evidently Won
Hindenburg has begun to see the fin-
ish of submarine warfare, for he Is
now promising his worshipers that he

German bragadocio is in keeping
with the very methods they use in
sinking ships on the high seas. of cru
cifying prisoners, of numbering wo-
men and children and of committing
the endless number of crimes which
would not be printable, or at the best
readable by the modest public.
Therefore all glory to those heroes
who went down to their death, each
awaiting his turn in true American
spirit, as the life boats were being
lowered and the strains of "The Star
Spangled Banner" floated over the
the ill-fated ship. The Hun will find
the hardest nut of the war to crack
when he combats the bull dog ten
