German FaIsehoOd
lFrom the New York sun.

The three statements conceruin.
United States troops in Europe reprint
ed herewith were all taken from on,
newspaper published in this city yes
terday. The first is an extract from
the Nilag OF Budapest:
American contingents are arriving
from time TO time in France, but In 50
inconsiderable "a number and 30 little
trained that they do not count in regard
TO the present struggle.
According to the estimates Of Swiss
military authorities, there might be at
the present moment 1000 or 10000
American soldiers at the front in
France. Their number up TO the end
OF the year, placing IL at a most favor
able figure, cannot exceed 60,OOO or To-
600 men. II the transports increase In
proportion, America might be able TO
put into the lines by next spring isO.-
600 or 10000 ilghling men for France"
The second Is passage from a report
OF an address delivered in Berlin by DR..
Georg Barthelme, some time the corre-
spondent OF the Cologne Gazette In
Washington:
"lle added that even II America had
an army Of 100000 70 would take TO-
10000 tons Of ships 90 set II to Eu-
rope. and said:
For this reason we will not have
any fear of America before 1919 or 1920.
The English know 10 too, and by then
the war will be decided"
The Third Is an announcement made
on saturday by General peyton c.

army:
The United states has passed the
10000 mark In the shipment Of troops

lt would be easy 20 argue from them
that the military rulers Of Germany
are gravely alarmed over our particl-
patton in the struggle Whether they
are is a question not now up for dis Il

declarations together is TO illustrate the Il
complete and utter unreliabilily Of
statements Of alleged fact coming from
Germany.
The Nilag and Dr. Barthelme are not \
less deceitful ror are they more de-
ceitful in what they say concerning the
number Of American soldiers in France
and the possibility Of getting Americans
to France than the German military au-

EXPERIENCE VS.. THEORY.

A MEHlcA is Tightening her belt for the war;
N Some are doing it voluntarily and with patriotic
impulses others are doing it under compulsion
The Food Administration asks us TO eat fish t,vo
days week and TO limit consumption Of beef TO
pound and a quarter week We are advised IN eat
more pork and pork products-vhich is all very well
except that pork is not especially well regarded as
midsummer diet and there are large numbers OF our
people who do not eat pork at all for religious reasons
The Fuel Administration also comes forward with an
announcement that the supply coal to certain indus
tries is to be materially reduced the makers of
automobiles being the first to feel the curailment
There is some reason for the Food Administrators
There for Dr. Garnelds We have plenty
of coal in this country All need is prodacton But
the false system OF pricenxng into which the govern
men plunged ago has borne its fruits and the out
put OF coal has not kept pace with the increasing de-
mands Of the country because the coal miner is not will
ing to do business at loss.
We seem to be able to learn nothing from the ex-
perence Of Allies None Of them is curtaiIing or
hampering business along any line They are
everything to run at peak. We on the contrary are
seeking to misplace the emphasis OF our efforts and are
Dot hitting the mark even then.
