Washington, Sept 9.-An mcer-

injected into The Russia military situ-
nation today when The State Depart

reported capture Of Samara, on the
Volga River, in European Russia from
the Czechosloyak forces by the Boil

A dispatch from American Consul
General Harris, at lrkutsk, dated Sept

ably retaken Samara. This was one
Of the most westerly positions occupi-
ed by the Czechosloyak forces in
European Russia. Samara is about
half way between Moscow and the 81
berian border
The Consul General stated that If
the news he had received was correct
it meant hat Oremburg. Simbirsk
and Karan, other important towns oc-
cupied by the CZechosloyak and Rus
sian anti.Bolshevist forces, were in
serious danger There had been no
contact with Ekaterinburg since Sept

Consul Harris added that on Aug
25 Vice Consul hadley. at Camara. re-
ported that the Bolshcyiki were gain
ing strength on the Samara front
stretching from Penza to the north of
Kazan, on the vest OF the Volga Riy-
er, due chiefly to the addition Of artil-
lery, manned under the direction Of
Germans. The Czechoslovaks were
inadequately supplied with artillery.
The Bolsheyist troops on the Sa-
mara front are composed chiefly OF
Lettish soldiers. who have remained

SAYS GERMANY
Is NOT STARVING
Ira Morris, Minister TO Sweden, Says
American People Must Put Ener
gy Into War.

Washington, Sept TO- Germany is
not on the verge of starvation, Ira
Neslon Morris, American minister to
Sweden, said at Washington yester-
day in reminding the American peo.
pie that every energy must be put in.
TO the war. MIR. Morris said his state
ment regarding tne food situation was
based on many reports from reliable
sources which had reached him at
Stockholm. II was prompted by many
published reports regarding condi
tions in the German empire which had
come TO his attention since he recently
returned to the United States.
There can be no question the
minister said, that there is a short.
age of most OF the essentials OF life
but to state that his borders on the
verge Of starvation is erroneous and
misleading There is no doubt that
in many parts Of Germany there is a
marked scarity OF food and that
the civilian population has been re,
duced to the mnimus ration but
still receives sufficient for existence.
Conditions are better in the rural
districts, particularly as regards the
farmers and land owners even in the
scarcity is most felt. In the south
ai1l part conditions improve still
more and resorts and hotels there
still serve meals at moderate prices.
In the case of the army, there has
been but slight depriyations; this
has been fed at the expense of the civ
Titan popmatiOn.'
