FOOD SITUATION CRITICAL.
Small Hope Of Relief for Germany
From Ukraine, Where Big Cities
Also Suffer Shortage.

Further information revealing how
critical the food situation in Germany
has become reached the State Depart
ment today in semi official dispatches.
The nutritious committees Of the
reichstag and landtag have been hold
ing daily sittings on the situation. The
question of reducing the present ra-
tons has not been decided. 1t is indi-
Gated there is small hope of relief from the
Ukraine. where the large cities are suf-
fering from insufficient food. Even If
Ukrainian supplies are obtained 1t
will not give an increase in the food
ration.
An official report made public in Ger
many May said there were 10000
carloads of grain ready in Rumania
for shipment to Germany. but even II
it is transported it will do no more
than to prevent a reduction in food
allotments.

as chief director of military operations
was taken over by Gen. Delma Rad
cliffe. formerly chief star officer Of the
Canadian army and chief Of the Brit

quarters.
shortly before his transfer Gen.
weekly interviews with American
newspaper men made remarks which
were considered in some quarters as
rejecting on Gen. Foch. the command
er-in-chief of the combined allied
forces.
At one point of the interview he
drew a parallel between the situation
on the battle front in France as 1t
stood then. and the battle Of Waterloo
when Wellington was awaiting the ar
rival of Biuecher.' Gen. Maurice then
asked: What is happening to Blue
cher? What has become Of the re-
serves?" On the following day. Gen.
Haig, commander Of the British forces.
announced that French reinforcements
had reached the British front, and this
was taken as proof by military critics
that Gen. Maurtce's intimation that

BAKERS EXPLAIN CLAIMS
FOR HIGHER-PRICED BREAD
Clarence r. Wilson and Delegation
Of Trade Hear Reasons for Ad-
vance to Public. =

Why bakers believe they are entitled
to more money for bread was the sub
ject of a conference this morning be-
tween Clarence r. Wilson. the District
of Columbia food administrator, and a
of representative bakers.
The bakers are. understood to have laid
their reasons for desiring to advance
the price of bread before Food Admin
istrator Wilson. His attitude toward
the proposition was not disclosed.
The conference occupied several hours
Of the morning and part Of the after
noon. At the close Mr.. Wilson de-
parted without making any announce
ment.
The bakers. 1t is understood, would
advance the price of the bread loaf
half a cent to the retail stores. The
dealers are now paying cents loaf
and the consumer is generally paying
10 cents The bakers base their de-
mands for a bigger price upon the in
crease in the price Of material, coupled
with an increase of 25 per cent in
wages.

AMERICAN PUNISHMENT
German Treatment Of Prisoner
Weakened in Salt Mines Reported
by Frenchmen.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 6.-American prisoners
Of war are being shamefully treated in
German prison camps if all have had
the experience of an American inter-
viewed by French soldier. also a pris-
oner in Germany, just before he es-
capped. The Frenchman's story. as told
to American officers, follows:
"A short time before 1 left Hameln.
Hanover. 1 was able to have a few min
utes' interview with an American SOL
der who was taken prisoner several
months ago on the French front. Be-
ing unwounded, he was assigned di-
rectly to a prison camp. Weakened by
excessive work he was forced to do in
the salt mines and being unable to
stay longer. he was sent to Hameln.
II do not remember the name Of the
man or the number of his regiment,
but he had been among the first Amer
leans in the trenches and his home was
in New York. He told me thu. during
the three months he was in the Harz
mines he had lost thirty-three pounds.
HE was man who was solidly built
and 1t could he easily seen that he had
been vigorous and healthy, but when
saw him he was incredibly thin and so
weak that he could hardly cross a room
without stopping repeatedly. leaning on
pieces Of furniture or supporting himself
on boxes piled there.
"Englishmen also are badly treated in
the mines. 1 found out that three of
seven who were sent back to Hameln
died. Package service does not exist
in the mines and the prisoners receive
practically nothing. Their only nourish-
ment Is from thin soup made of barley
or cabbage, sometimes sailed Goldfish
eggs and those of other fish. which 1t is
impossible to eat. There are few pota-
toes and very little bread. 1t is i'm
possible for a man to work without be-
coming sick or weakened to the point of
falling down.
The men are struck with rifle butts
and the fat side OF bayonets and are
placed in dark cells on bread and water
These cells are known to the mine pris-
oners as hot chambers as they are
heated by steam to a high temperature.
After the men are held in these cells
they are turned out in the snow. where
they are required to stand at attention
for certain length of time. Needless
to say deaths are frsluent.
This American had been punished
several times In this way and told me
all that I am relating to you. 7 am able
to confirm his story. because other Eng
lishmen and Frenchmen saw at Hameln
did not have the strength even to hold
a cigarette"
