Washington, D. c., June 24.-Official
dispatches received here today found
ed on information gathered at Berne,
reflect the seriousness of the food stu

difficulties of Ludendorff, the German
quarterfnaster general, in supplying his
armies on the western front.
They tell of the division of foods
from the Ukraine and Bessarabia,
promised to the Austrians, to the Ger
mans themselves, and recite cores
rondence between Ludendorf and the
mayors of Vienna n Budapest IN
which they gave warning h a they

ing order under such conditions and
could give no more help.
Austrian food supplies have been ex-
hausted since April, the dispatches say,
and Austria has been trusting in an
agreement with Germany to furnish
food up to August Is. On June IA
appeals by telegraph began to go to
the German high command declaring
that under existing arrangements only
60 truck loads of food We're available
for the whole of Austria from the new

command he could not be responsible
for preserving order. AT the same

Fighting on the Piave apparently is

LESSON TAUGHT BY GARFIELD'S ORDER

The heatless day once week and the shutdown OF
industries on the day throughout the East and
Middle West will be thing Of the past This
decree of Fuel Commissioner Garfield raised great
storm Of protest the anvil chorus sweed by nearly
all the newspapers Of the section affected.
1t is probable, however, that much real good was ac-
compshed by the ORDER since fuel is being produced
and distributed in larger quantities than ever before
Freight congestion also has been greatly relieved.
This little taste Of the real hardships Of war was not
taken with good grace but the moral effect will leave
lasting impression 1t has brought people face to
face with the realization that the United States is en-
gagged in big hard war.
We have all known this in a way. But most of us have
had sort of idea that could proceed with everything
about as usual that the something apart from
us which would go of it's own accord In mechanical
way to ultimate victory
The war will not go on Of it's own accord. Everybody
has got to recognize this fact Everybody has to work
and save and feel and suffer And the more keeny we
feel the situation now the clearly we feel the facts
now the harder we work now the frugally we live
now the more we suffer now the less we shall have to
nav later and the smaller will be the total toll
The people east Of the Mississippi did not want this
practical moral lesson administered. They did not like
it. But if it tended to make nation realize what
the country up against the economic side of war;
making it will be very good thing And this moral
benefit in addition to the practical advantages that Will
accrue from it.

WHAT ABOUT RUSSIA?

The Russian situation has changed again. providing
the report true that the Boshevk leaders have come
to the German terms and signed humiatng treaty of
peace There are reports to the contrary ndlcat-
ing that the Russians will still resist the invaders but
these two men into power Germany has secured very
fact.
We are inclined to think that Russian affairs are so
badly mixed that specuating the situation is OF little
value from any viewpoint Anarchy regns and the stage
of civil war and wholesale murder and awessness ap-
preaching rapidly For several months it was apparently
state of harmless peaceful anarchy with everybody en-
oying the utmost liberty and nobody working or serious
" considering the future That condition has passed and
an era Of intense civil strife is upon the distracted
try Blood is flowing copiously in Russia these days
AS to the conflict with Germany we are inclined to
hold to the opinion that the first allied estimate of Lenne
and Trotsky was right and that they are simply paid
German agents who are doing their work very ceverly
and successfully up the present time. Their occasional
quaes with the Central empires exist only in inspired
reports intended to misead their people and the
world at large The fact cannot be denied that since
these two men came into power Germany secured every
possible advantage from the situation. Russia has quit
fighting and her army is scattered allowing the Germans
to take possession of any territory desired and hold it,
and every end sought by them has been attained without
striking blow.
There was no doubt that Kerensly true to Russia
and the allies as long he maintained power.
