People Disappointed in Sup
ply From Russia, Serbian
Press Bureau Says
(specio, Dispatch to The Trioune)

Especial Dispatch to The Tribume)
WASHINGTON, May 25.--The Ser
hian Press Bureau made public to day
a statement CONCERNING present con-
ditions in Germany based upon infor-
nation obtained from Serbian prison.
ers of war who have just escaped from
Germany. The statement follows:
"A few days ago about 20 Serbian
prisoners of war succeeded in escap-
ing from various parts of Germany,
where they had been distributed as
field laborers. The Serbian Press Blu
reau has received the news from Rot
terdam that great depression prevails
in Germany. This depression is the
consequence Of the failure of the Ger
man army to achieve decisive success
in the West, as we'll as of the encr-
nous losses sustained by the Germans
on the Western front. To these facts
may be added the great suffering and
the scarcity Of food.
"The Germans are greatly disap-
pointed because they were not able to
get even small amount of food from
pitch and is keenly felt. The requisi.
tioning and draining of the peoples re-
sources is unsupportable; every egg
must be brought to the authorities in
order to placate the population.
"The authorities are spreading the
report that peace will be concluded
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-05-26

within two months. Every available
man has been taken to the front, even
men fifty years of age, soldiers half in
valid and affected with tuberculosis,
and also those who were exempted as
invalids. Only the youths of seventeen
have not yet been called up.
1--WE often hear Of German mothers
complaining in the villages of the i'm
possibility of sending parcels to their
sons at the front. Even the food given
to the army is of very bad quality.
Cali the Germans hopes and expecta-
tions are in their offensive on the West
ern front, and even these last hopes
are fading because already more than
two months have passed since the Of
fensive began, and. in spite of the
enormous losses, 80 peace is yet in
sight.
Letters are being withheld from
the people and no spondence is
being permitted between the soldiers
on the Western front and their homes
This latter fact inspires a grave por-
tent among the population of Ger
many"
The War Department here has re-
ceived intelligence that the food fur
nished the German army has deter-
Grated in quality, the bread ration of
the soldiers being reduced. as we'll as
that of the civilians.

Health Board to Start
Milk Investigation

The Health Department is to begin
immediately sweeping investigation
OF. the milk situation in the city, ac-
cording to announcement made ycstcr-
day by DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Health
Commissioner. DR.. Copeland said that
decrease of %, per cent in the milk
supply, combined with low grade
quality of milk, had resulted in an in
crease of 6 per cent in the mortality of
infants under one year of age
Figures compiled by DR.. William II
Guilfoy, director of the Departments
bureau of records, show that since Jan
uary 1, out of every 1000 babies under
one year of age who have died, 81 per
cent have succumbed to diseases at
tributablc to impure milk or lack of
nourishment.
Commissioner Copeland said his de-
partment had milk inspectors examin-
ing depots throughout the city, at
stores where loose milk is sold and on
the dairy farms up state. He said q
conference between himself and the
heads of large milk firms would be
held this week. The figures given by
Dr.. Copeland showed that last year the
city got an average of 100000 quarts
Of milk day and the average now is
100000. The infant death rate has
risen from 80 to 95 per 1000.
