HUN MENU CUT
BY EMBARGOES
FOR NEUTRALS
Order Against Shipping
Food Staggering to Foe.
Says Richards.

Boston. May &.-Strict enforcement
by the United States of embargoes
on foder and foodstuffs to Norway,
Sweden. Holland and other neutrals
has struck Germany a staggering
blow in food essentials, declared c.
A. Richards, Of the War Trade Board
at the Boston Export Round Table
at the City Club tonight
Fats which Denmark passed through
IN sufficient quantity to feed 100000
men have been stopped. through the
refusal of this. country to allow fod-
der imports to Denmark: the meat
ration has been cut from half a
pound per person to five ounces; the
butter ration has been reduced to
eight-tenths Of an ounce: the milk
ration has been cut, and Norway's
fish shipments have been curtailed
from 1H,OOO to $500 tons a year.
Restraint Recent.
From the time we entered the war
until July g." said Mr.. Richards,
'there was no control over our ex-
ports. We kept on shipping to the
northern neutrals without restraint.
The British had only limited super
vision over, their exports to these
neutrals. as England herself needed
some of the products which they
were sending to Germany.
'I have heard it stated and be-
neve IL to be approximately correct
that the fodder being shipped from
this country to Denmark was suffl-
cient to permit Denmark to ship
into Germany enough fats to feed
an army Of 100000 men. Recently
Mr.. Hoover stated that the German

into the war was over half a pound
per person weekly. has now been re-
duced in Saxony. and presumably
throughout Germany. to approximate
ly FIVE ounces, including bones and
other waste. and It Is probable this
amount will be still further reduced.
1.-The German butter ration for the
civilian population at the time of our
entry into the war was about three
ounces per capita per week. 1t has
now been reduced to about eight
tenths of an ounce, and even this Is
uncertain. The present weekly but
ter ration per capita Is about the
weight of an ordinary letter.
MIX Ration Reduced.
These restrictions have been very
largely caused by the inability of
their large exports OF fats into Ger
many as they have been unable this
past year to procure the necessary
fodder from this country. The stop
page Of their fodder imports has also
affected the German ration of milk,
the consumption of which in Germany
| Is now limited to babies.
Norway has always been a large
shipper of fish to Germany. Her
peace-time exports to that country
had increased until in 1915 they to-
tailed IA. 500 tons, out of a total catch
of between $4,000 and 10000 tons.
BY the new trade agreement with
Norway. she agrees to ship into Ger
many in 1913 only 5000 tons. This is
lsss than one-third of the quantity
OF fsh she shipped to Germany in
fs16. and IL a very big item on the
credit side Of the ledger"

WHAT YOUNG MEN DON'T KNOW

"Thcse young Americans" wrote a
German major to his wife, in letter
that some of those unpleasant young
fellows took from him. along with his
spiked helmet, attack just as they
play their football games. Nothing
halts them, and they just keep on
coming. Our old men are no match
for these youngsters. who don't know
enough to be afraid"
That sounds like pretty good
characteristic. Moreover, it cOrrobO-
rates the good judgment OF our mill.
tary authorities in preferring the
youngsters" of 10 and 20 to men
along in their thirties.
II is literally true that the lads
don't know enough to be afraid 1t
is no disparagemcnt to a man of twice
their age to say that he generally
does know enough, and If he fights
bravely It is with a keen conscious
ness of the peril and the cost. from
which his youthful comrades are free.
The boys do fight just as they play
football.
IL is no accident that football. as
Americans play il, has never found
favor except with boys Of high school
and college age. The psychology OF
that rough game is much the same as
the psychology of battle, and 1t is a
matter of age more than of physique

BAIT FOR BELGIUM

1t would be a fine thing for the cen.
tral powers, undoubtedly, if they
could catch Belgium with the bait Of.
fered her in the Austrian peace pro-
posal. Germany is pretty well recon-
ciled by this time to the idea of get.
ting out of Belgium. The most true.
ulent militarist knows that German
arms will not be able to hold it indcti.
nitely, that the ti:lc is rapidly coming
when its possession will be source
of military weakness rather than
strength. Hence this very clever
Teutonic idea of letting Belgium go
with grand flourish of generosity,
withdrawing the German armies and
thereby enormously shortening the
German front, and-no less import
ant-pledging Belgium to neutrality
for the rest OF the war.
Manifestly the Germans could
stand far more strongly on their own
frontier, If, when they retreated tina,
far the allies were not able to follow
them through Belgium. A strictly
neutral Belgium would make an cx
cellent buffer. Then, if the allies in
sisted on going through against Bel
gian protests, Germany would allegt
that as complete justification fol
her own invasion of Belgium in The
beginning.
Belgium, of course, has more sense
than to be caught by such a transpar
ent trick, involving as 1t does thu
mere withdrawal of the, Germans
without any compensation or repara
tion for all the Huns crime and hav
oc. She has more loyalty, too, to TIM
| allies who are fighting her battle
That. however, is something the Teu
| tons cannot understand.
