famine is creeping over Europe,
 The slight restrictions placed upon American tables are as nothing compared with the ser. ious deprivations suffered by| the inhabitants of the belligerent countries of Europe.
 France is seriously short of both meat and cereals, while England is in difficulties over her meat supply.
 Scandinavian countries are also suffering.
 Inform etion received from Germany iestablishes the fact the harvest has brought no re- lief and prospects are more gloomy than was the case last year. Mllk is already so scarce there is barely enough for infants and invalids.,
 The potato crop did not turn out satisfactorily, and food sub- stitutes are more used than ever
 One of the socialist papers made mention of the food profit eering which is rife in Germany and was suppressed for so doing.
 It ran:
 Agricultural producers and rich city residents are living in plenty. As food-hoarding is nc longer prohibited, every million aire and war-profiteer has kitch en and cellar full of ham and bacon, while the middle class manages to maintain a precar ous existence by spending all it possesses on food, but the masses are stal wing. Thirty or forty million starving people are not going to sit silent.
