the experienced observer of Metro

very soon, because the Metropolitan

The 9th division (New York troops)

The 9th division is the New York

served through the war with that high
rank.
The 30th division was composed Of

Both these organizations saw heavy

highly commended by British officers
for their desperate fighting when
Marshal Haig's armies were smashing

GERMAN PEOPLE ARE NOT IN
ANY DANGER OF STARVATION

London.-The Cologne Gazette. OF
November 1G, published an article un-
der the caption, "Armistice and tho
Food Supply" written by specialist
named Oetelshofen, who argued that
there could be no question of a short.
age OF food in Germany, but that it
was urgently necessary to reduce
rations.
The writer maintained that Ger
many could deal with the transport
problem by readjustments. reducing
the transport OF potatoes and vege-
tables and confning the transport IA
ciliLes to foods Of greater nutritive
value in proportion to their bulk.
Dealing with the harvest, Oetelsho-
fen estimated the bread corn harvest
apart from barley and oats ut not less
than 100000 tons and the potato
harvest at about 47,5O0,OOO tons.
The writer pointed out that Ger
many must have an abundance of
sugar, hitherto, had been used az raw
material for munitions and GERMANY
now had a sugar harvest OF about
l,S0S,o0O tons, as compared with a
peace consumption OF only 1900, 900
tons.
Even after the armistice" the wri.
ter said, there is abundance Of food in
Germany for feeding the population

iaais by reducing the stocks OF cattle.
