GERARD ON GERMAN STRIKES

The published reports of Ger

American ambassador to that coun-
try. according to New York special
to the Milwaukee Journal
Knowing the German government
as | do II appears as If these reports
were sent out for the purpose of
hating our war preparations" Mr..
Gerard said. 1.-The whole thing seems
to be staged. There is no chance
for starving Germany out and there
is also no chance of winning the
war by a revolution In that country.
Germany manages to feed every
body except the old people. and they
are left to die. Germany is DELHI
crate in not caring for the welfare
of her old The soldiers and young
people get enough to eat Before
they would starve themselves they
would starve 100000 Poles. 5,OOO-
900 Frenchmen. 100000 BeIgians
and 100000 prisoners of war.
'The reported revolutionary move
ment amounts to nothing at this
time. There is not chance of its
being successful until the termina-
ton of the war. Then her army of
l2,0OO.000 which had no hand in the
commencement of the war and which
has been abused by the officers may

man government wants peace, but is
afraid to make it on account of the
attitude of her army. The only
peace she will adhere to would be
a peace that really gave her victory"

that this year production will be

industries enlarged by the war have
it is estimated, reduced farming

per cent below those available fol-
the planting season of 1917.
"A failure of crops in 1918, OF
any considerable reduction below the
production of 1917, would by doubl
ing the prices of foodstuffs in this
country next fall and winter. create
intense distress and cause social and
industrial disorders. The probable
results of famine in Europe. which q
reduced production here would cause
and the possible effect upon the de
termination of the war, are too ter
