added, only by the capacity of the

He declined to predict how soon the
allied-American forces would have a
numerical superiority.
This question he suggested involved
the concentration of how hany troops
the Germans had at the outset and
how many potential divisions might be
stripped from the eastern front.

Get Your Coal Now.
'The man who does not do his part

Every coal user should buy and store
coal now, to meet his requirements, so
far as he is possibly able to do so.
Thus, he will cooperate with the
Fuel Administration and with the

burden of production and transporta-

carried best, and, more than that, he
will insure for himself full measure

Lack of Food Serious.
The food shortage in Holland is
becoming serious. Not only is wheat
scarce but other foodstuffs as well.
II has been decided that on June 10
butter and other fats will be added
to the ration list. Tea stocks have
long been exhausted and the available
supply Of coffee is dwindling rapidly.
For some weeks temporary meas
ures taken by the ministry of agricul-
ture have resulted in the almost total
disappearance of meat from the din
ner tables Fish and eggs have taken
the place .of meat. The potato ration
also was reduced recently. The stu
alton as whole has given an impetus
to boarding.
Ship Agreement Not Yet.
In the meantime the government
has not obtained German permission
to send three ships to America for
food. Neither has the new economic
agreement with Germany materialized,
because the Dutch shrink
from paying the price from their prec-
ious stocks of foodstuffs which Ger
