Altho information from Russia Is
always clouded with uncertainty it apr
pears now that Germany Is having seri-
Gus difficulty getting the expected sup
ply of food out of Russia for the rea-
son that the bolsheviki have no con-
troll over that part of Russia which has
the Nod storage.
There are only three ways by which
Germany could reach the grain stores
of Russia. They are by rail, the Black
sea and the Danube, and all Of these
outlets are closed to Germany, Off
Gals say. Granting that the much
Wanted Germany efficiency might
overcome any one of these apparently
insurmountable barriers, new OBJ
stacle would be encountered In the
refusal of the Russian peasant to ac-
cept anything but gold for his grain.

and the barriers apply with equal
force to imports OF raw materials.
The natural outlet OF Russian food
supplies to Germany would be over
the railroads. The information pos
sessed by the United States govern
ment is to the effect that Russian trans
portation facilities for 1870 miles from
the German lines are so thoroughly de-
moralzed as to preclude any posi-

Trans-Siberian railroads are straight
ened out. The railroads are without
equipment both as to trackage and
rolling stock, and efficient operating
forces. Virtually the entire territory
over which food supplies would have to
pass by rail Is desolated.
Officials assert Russian grain can not
find an outlet thru the Black sea, even
tho it is conceded that the railroad line
to Odessa is in normal operating con-

FOOD SHORTAGE PERILs ALLIES.
Lord Rhondda Admits That Britain Is
Eacino,a Great Crisis.

The food situation in the allied
countries OF Europe Is graver than it
has been at any time since the begin
ming of the war, and is giving Ameri-
can government officials deep concern.
Official reports picture extreme food
shortages in England, France, and
Italy.
The fact that conditions in Germany
and Austria are. far worse offers the
only grounds for optimism in viewing
the situation.
In England and France the situation
is described as critical in q cablegram
to the food administration from Lord
Rhondda, the British food controller,
which concluded with these words:
Il view the situation with grave anx-
iety.' Ga. *
A cablegram from,-the French gov
eminent said that the wheat crop had
been requisitioned and that the bread
ration would be cut to allow only seven
ounces Of bread daily to all persons ex-
cept the very poor and those doing
hard manual labor. In Italy conditions
are not as good, perhaps, as in either
England or France.
Compulsory ratfoning will be started
in England Immediately, with meats
the first commodity to be put under
control. Distribution OF butter and
margarine will be taken in hand next,
and other foods will be added as they
become scarcer. SAlI5of the principal
foodstuffs will be rationed by April.
'It have repeatedly said in public and
private that there Is no reason for inn
mediate alarm, altho there is every
reason for strict economy and precau-
tionary measures said Lord Rhon-
da's message. These statements in
some instances have been twisted into
declaration that there is plenty Of
food in England and France.
The food position in this country,
and understand in France also can,
without exaggeratIon, be described as
critical and anxious, AS 4 am now
unable to avoid compulsory rationing.
4 fear It will have to come with long
queues OF people awaiting in the severe
weather in practically every town in
F,nriand for the daily necessaries Of
life"
Compulsory Icouttol Of foodstuns in
England sF'rancess and Italy was In
sisted on by the American delegates to
the Par,S conference and was promised
at that time.

titude Of Russian peasants who are
refusing to sell their grain, even to
Russians except for gold. They have
rejected the currency of their own
nation, and officials see small chance
Of Germany drawing very largely on
Fexisting stores, and none at all for
Austria Hungary. whose credit in
Russia is at low ebb.
Even tho there might be a dispo-
stion by the bolshevik leaders to aid
Germany in obtaining Russian grain.
tit is held that they would encounter
very serious disturbances In the popu-
lated centers, especially Petrograd.
where food shortage has been pinch
ing the people for some weeks.
1t Is held that the bolshevik leaders
would be violating one of their strong
arguments with the masses II they
permitted the expectation OF foodstuffs
to Germany while Russians were hum
cry.
Officials in Washington admit they
are without definite figures as to the
amount Of grain In Russia, but they
are of the opinion that there is a very
considerable amount. This conclu-
sion is based upon the statistics of
average grain production in Russia, as
the amount available for export under
normal conditions usually is about 49,
100000 tons.
Would Simplify Income Tax.
Senator Shoots substitution for the
war revenue bill passed at the last
session Of congress provides radical
changes in the income and excess
profits tax, besides eliminating the
zone system OF tax on second class
postage. Under the Smoot substitu-
ton, the senator believes, the income
and war profits taxes would be greatly
simplified, the war profits tax. at the
same time, being appreciably raised.
The existing taxes Of . per cent upon
individual incomes in two previous
laws, together with the 2 per cent tax
imposed in the war revenue law,
would be abolished under Senator
Shoots measure. In their place
per cent flat tax would be imposed on
all incomes above $1,000 for single men
and $4,000 for married men. In addi-
ton, there would be tax Of per cent
upon all incomes above $4,000. both In
dividual and corporation. The fiat sys-
tenn Of tax would do away with the
various exemptions embraced in the
previous laws.
The tax on war profits would be
levied upon a sliding basis running
from 10 to so per cent. the latter being
20 per cent higher than that embraced
in the war revenue bill. The basis OF
computation on capital stock provided

May Take over MINES.
A plan is under consideration for tho
taking over by the government OF the
mining Industries OF the country In the
same plan as the railroads.
This step is regarded as one OF direct
necessity in order to speed UP war
preparations and eliminate the serious
conditions OF congestion which are re-
tarding almost every class of military
organization. The government now
has no authority TO act in regard to
mines, as 1t has in the railroad situa-
ton, and It would he necessary to OBJ
tain special legislation from congress
for such action. This 1t Is proposed to
seek within the next few weeks. The
aim is to include In the project mines
producing coal, iron and chemicals.
and resources OF petroleum and all
mineral oils. Essentially the chemical
industry generally so far as 1t is nm
