GERMAN PAPERS DEPRESSED
 OVER FOOD SITUATION
POLES ARE IN A PANIC OVER PROPOSITION OF GERMANY TO ACQUISITION THEIR
 FOOD SUPPLIES.
ESF P'

Washington. May 20-Announce- ment that the bread ration is to be reduced on June 15 has caused grave apprehension throughout Germany. An official dispatch today from Switzerland says that even the gov ernmental press has adopted tone no less pessimistic than that of the socialist papers which forese a great diminishing of the physical and gen eral force which helps in supporting the hardship of the fourth year of the war
 "The government Is taking step which is bound to disturb the life of cur war diets" the dispatch quotes from the Berlin Voerwarts. the lead ing socialist organ. up 10 now they were distributed in very small quan- titles. It seems too dangerous to start in reducing these rations and the danger is still greater in the fourth year of the war than in the second and third when it was easier to obtain other food and when the general condition of the population was better"
 The Yolks Trieund. of Carlsruhe, says the dispatch. speaks of the sur prise which the German people will feel when they realize that they must suffer new deprivations while they were counting on an improvement of tn efood situation based on what has teen said about the wheat from the Ukrain, and Rumania.
 "The tone adopted by the govern ment press is no less characteristic The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Eel tung gives a weak expression to the hope that the measure will not en- danger resistance of the interior front. As to the newspaper Germans it does not succeed in hiding it's des. pondencv
 II says: "We have never been op- timistic. but our pessimism was no great enough"
 In an effort to improve the serious meat situation the German militar, authorities have decided to requisi tion 100000 head of cattle and 20.0Oi pigs in Poland. This. says a Swis' dispatch, has caused a panic amons the Poles.
 Even more critical than the Ger man food situation is that in Austria
 An official dispatch today iron France quotes Austro German paper, as saying that at a recent conferenc, in Vienna the situation developed tha food supplies to be requisitionet were sufficient only to feed tht hungry and the army and that Aus tria could expect nothing but it's owI l harvest

other she thrust at her the half fin-
ished bandage. Her tone as grim as
her face, she spoke, and again the
sound of it was like hail pattering on
slate. You're not thinking of your
son." she said. You're just thinking
Of yourself"
There was murmur Of rem0n.
STRANGE. Mrs. Britt heard it, and she
flashed a look about her. But when
she spoke again it was to Mrs. Farlow
she spoke.
Think Of Your Son.
You're not the only mother In this
war;" she said. "If you thought lit
tie more about them and little less
about yourself you'd be doing some
thing. You'd be helping your son, for
one thingr'
why, what do you mean?" gasped
Mrs Farlow.
Mrs. Britt smiled another adamarlt
icy smile.
Your son wouldn't die for want of
care. Any one Of those bandages rye
seen you ruin might save his life. Any
one Of them might save the life of
some other mothers son!
Mrs. Farlow shrank as If she had
been struck. She'd never thought of it
that way before.
The silence, the grim reserve, which
had cloaked Mrs. Britt seemed for
moment to quit her. II have no son."
she said, her flinty voice biting out che
words. II had one, but he died at
Guantanamo. 1t was in the Spanish
war;" snapped Mrs. Britt, land there
were no Misunderstanding. That's
why he died. That's why I'm here
now. It's to keep other women-moth-

her. "Oh, l know what you think of
me. I've heard what you said. Well,"
said Mrs. Britt, "my son wouldn't have
died like that maybe If I hadn't sat
around shifting and snuffiing, never
doing thing"
Then, her lips drawn into q bony
smile, she glanced about her once
more and stalked back to her place In
the corner.
That night Mrs. Farlow rose from
her place at the bandage table and
sought the table at the back. For The
first time that day Mrs. Farlow had
managed to create half dozen band
ages, none of which had to be thrown
away. Timidly she held out hand to
the drab, dingy figure in the corner.

SWEDISH MINISTER
is LEAVING TO k|O

Toxic, May 21.-Foliowing his COM
fplete ostracism by ENJOYS of all Of
the Allied nations and under circum-
stances which have aroused the great
est comment in official circlese, Swed-
ish Minister Wallenberg has left To-
kio for Stockholm. He is travelling
home through Siberia. For the last
two months all of the Allied ambassa-
doris, including those of America,
Great Britain and France, have re-
fused to associate with Wallenberg.
At diplomatic functions they have ig-
nored sim, declining to speak to him
or to exchange the usual social cour-
tesies. The Foreign Office today re-
fused to comment on the departure of
Wallenberg, and at the Swedish con-
sulate the officials would assign no
reason for his return to Sweden.

H. @. F.. Thompson, who has just
arrived from Russia with the Anglo

In Vladivostok he saw officers in
uniform though they had been
stripped of their shoulder straps. In
Ukraine an officers uniform means
sure death, he said. Vladivostok and
Harbin seemed very quiet after the
turbulent cities of the South. There
seemed to be noeXcitement due to the
presence of Allied warships in the
harbor. All nationals mixed quite
freely and there seemed to be no
more antagonistic feeling toward the
Japanese than toward others.

BREAD
IN WAR TIMES
(By Associated Press)
= Mlsg5se ~ ~-~

:. London, April 20 (By maiI-The
, British "war bread" has been indicat-
ed and endorsed by committee of
scientists after a series of tests con-
Quoted in the laboratories. of Cam
bridge. Glasgow and London universi-
ties and in a number of factories and
hospitals.
The committe finds that bread COM
posed Of whole wheat flour mixed
with 20 per cent of other cereals is
not only suited to all ages and diges-
tlons, but also "gives a higher per-
centage of energy"
The loaves used in the experiments
were baken from flour milled under
the personal supervision of A. E..
Humphries, president of the National
Association of British and Irish Mil
lers. No precaution was omitted to
make the experiments complete. and
every result was worked out in Sc
ries of tables.
At one factory in Yorkshire the
tests were applied to group of 20
men, nine women and two children. It
was their sole bread supply for a pc
ROD of two months and they were
under medical supervision throughout.
IN no case did it cause digestion trou
bic and in certain cases health seemed
ito improve during its use.
When the mixed bread was tried on
twenty-five patients suffering from
tuberculosis it was found that the
bread was preferred by the ma iority
of the patinets, all of whom had more
or les simpaired digestion. Most of
the patients gained weight during the
period they were under observation.
The report of the committee says:
The main fact established is that
the human body can make better use
'of the parts of the wheat grain which
have hitherto been discarded than the
pigs and poultry to which these rich
and nutrient by-products of milling
have been given in the past The coun-
try has gained enormously in food
and energy from the compulsory incu-
sion in the loaf of these by-products.
The gain can be expressed in definite
terms as an increase of 100 billion
calories of energy on the wheat milled
each year in this country. OF enough
to extend the cereal supply of energy
for more than month"

OF the VisiIantes.

His picture was in the locket she
wore. Every half hour she would stop
her work to look at it. Sometimes, her
face wiStful, she would show it to the
other workers, voicing the anguish that
with every waking breath she drew
twanged hollOwly in her mothers heart.
One afternoon Mrs FarlOw's Oldest
daughter came hurrying In. Her face
was white. She had just learned that
the Rainbow division had been ordered
overseas.
Mrs. FarlOw rose, her face tragic.
One glance she gave about her, then
she collapsed, sinking to the floor. In
her fall she overturned huge pile Of
antiseptic gauze just torn into squares
for Triangulars No. 13.
The room instantly was in confrl-
sion. Instantly every one sprang to
the mothers aid-that is, every one
but Mrs. Britt. She rose and rescued
the bandages under foot. Then, her
face hard as nails, grimly Mrs. Britt
went back to her work. When Mrs.
FarlOw, Still stricken, was led away to
her car outside the drab figure in the
corner was plugging away as mechan-
ically and methOdically as ever. The
one glance she threw over her ShOul-
der at the weeping woman was almost
cOntemptuOuS.
A hard woman, Mrs. Britt; heart
less one, too, it was agreed.
For days nothing was seen at the
auxiliary of Mrs Farlow. 1t was un-
dcrstood that in her grief and appre-
hension she was ill in bed. Then one
afternoon, palid and quivering, she
came in at the door. She smiled visit
fully when the others gathered about
her. Let me work." she appealed
p!aintively. "Work may help me not
to think"
Her Bandages Worthless.
She took bandage and tried to
sew. She made poor work of it, how
ever. Then her head sank on her
breast and the bandage slipped from
her hands. II can't-oh, l can't!" she
wept.
Once more she was led away.
The same thing happened three or
four days later A week later the
mother wandered in again. By now
the first of the troops were in the
trenches, and her pale, transparent
face was like wraith's She took a
bandage; she tried to sew, and for
third time Mrs. Farlow gave in.
"Oh, my boy, my bOy!" she walled.
The next instant face was thrust
into hers. The face was Mrs. Britt's,
and the hard. bony cisage was quiver-
ing with i'll concealed anger and con-
tempt
"Sit down. Stop it," said Mrs
Britt. With one hand she thrust Mrs

In the world. A diamond will cut

tempered chrome steel, but glass and
steel-the diamond itself tOo-are soft

Mrs. Britt was such a woman.
have seen hard women IN my time,
but never one who was harder. She
smiled seldom, and when she smiled it
was like the glitter of ice. She spoke
infrequently, and when she spoke her
speech was the tinkle of hail on slate
roofing. She did not look as if she had
ever wept in her life.
Every morning Mrs. Britt appeared
at the Red Cross auxiliary in upper
Broadway. She was the first to arrive
in the morning, the last to leave at
though. She was not the sort that
make condolences. But that she was
wOrker-a hard wOrker--no one would
dispute Efficiency. as you'd suppose,
was a trait of Mrs. Britts.
Are Efficient Women Hard?
Ehiciency-dreadful word that. How
often hard women are efficient! How
often efficient woman are hard! She
was both, Mrs. Britt The moment she
came in at the door she had her hat
and jacket off. The next instant she
was at her place, her mouth set, grim.
austere and hard--hard at work. Prob
ably she did her work only from sense
of duty. Hard women always profess
that trait Duty, duty! But, then,
rev women are as hard as Mrs. Britt.
In contrast to her was Mrs. Farlow.
She was soft and womanly and gentle
the exact opposite. She was not
very efficient of course, though she
trleu. Day after day Mrs. FarlOw sat
at the work table, her mouth CULVER
ing, smiling wistfully, the tears starting
in her eyes. The bandages that came
from her were often soiled and rum
pied, poorly sewn, too, by her poor lit
tie trembling fingers. 1t was a won
Ter she could even see to sew at all
Again and again what she turned in
had to be thrown away.
But no one reprimanded her. No one
even let fall hint that she was more
Of burden than a help. The hearts
of all those women ached with woman
ly pity for the poor, stricken mother.
Once in awhile, though, in her corner
at the back of the room Mrs. Britt
would turn around and throw glance
at her. The glance was as hard as
rocks-harder, in fact.
Mrs. Farlow had son in the Rain
bow division. The son was the oldest
of her four children. and until he went
away the little mother had been the
rappiest woman in the world. Now any
day he might be ordered off to France.
