NEWSP PAPER MAN SAYS GERMANY
 NOT STARVING
Berlin Short of Foodstuffs But Enough for Existence
 Says Swede.

Stockholm, Aug. 24-Germany still is far from starvation or from the limit of its endurance so far as the civilian population is concerned. This is the substance of a report made to The Associated Press by a Swedish journalist who has just returned from an extended stay in Germany and in Marienbad, Bohemia.
 In northern Germany, particularly in Berlin. there is marked scarcity of foodstuffs. Nevertheless there is enough for existence and the res taurants of the better class still serve ample portions of meat without a meat card. Thief armers generally still have plenty, even in northern Germany.
 Conditions improve, the Swedish journalist says, as one goes south ward.
 Conditions in Austria are very bad, except for those that receive extra food because they are doing war work. This class is satisfied with conditions, but the rest of the popu- lation is longing for peace.

 The railroad service in Germany, he declared, although greatly reduG- ed, appears to be as punctual as in times of peace.
 Asked what the civilian population thought of the war, he said:
 "They have stopped talking about it. They talk about food, sports and theatricals Berlin theatres are filled nightly and the hotels, incidentally. are redecorated and repainted. asked the reason for this and wal told that they were getting ready fol the coming of peace.

CONNECTICUT MUST PROVIDE
 16,54O UNSKILIED WORKERS

State Director of Employment Leo Korper has received a notice from Washington that 16,540 unskilled laborers in Connecticut must be re- orlited from non-essential or rela- lively unimportant work and be put immediately in industries necessary for the war. It was said in MT. Kor- per's office that the shifting of the labor supply to meet the crisis that is confronting the country will be en- forced as rigidly as the selectiye ser vice law, and that 1t is regarded as second in importance as a war meas ure only to the selective service law. Nathan A Smythe, assistant director general of the United States employ ment service. said that much unskill- ed labor is merely shifting from one job Co another, and that something will have to be done at once to put labor where it will do the most towards winning the war.
