WARNS TO STORIES
OF GERMAN UNREST

A warning to the American people
not to be misled into believing that
the German people are on the verge
of starvation and revolution, or into
the delusion that the German military
power has yet cracked was authorized
by the state department Thursday at
Washington. 1t took the form of a
signed statement from Ira Nelson
Morris of Chicago, the American min
lister to Sweden, who is in Washing
ton on leave Of absence.
The Importance of the statement is
to be found in the fact that it was
issued officially with the sanction OF
the department. Unless the statement
made my Minister Morris reflected
the opinion Of this government, no
such sanction would have been given.
