SEVERAL CROPS POOR
German People Face Rigid Food
Regulations.
Leaders of Trades Unions Are In
formed of Corn and Potato
Shortage.

Amsterdam, Sept. 17.-Speaking al
a reception Of the leaders Of the Ger
"a trades unions, Herr Won Waldow
president of the German food regula
ton board, said he regretted the late
ness of the harvest and that there
were no sharper means than were al
2sent used to get more foodstuffs.
he corn crop, he said, was only Ii
per cent better than that OF last year
and the potato crop probably was
worse. The provisioning Of industries
he added, would improve from Oct. /
A full bread ration certainly would be
restored, but he declared he could not
hold out any prospect for an increase
in the potato ration as unfavorable
weather had damaged the crop.
Meatless weeks must be continued
the speaker said, In order not to en
danger the milk and fat supply. I'm
fortunately he was unable to hold out
any prospects of an improvement in
the food supply, but he was positive
1t would not get worse.
Herr Lenien, a member of the Reich.
stag, who was M of the deputation,
replying to Herr Won Waldow, said
that in view CT the hopeless informa.
ton he gave regarding the food supply
the workers could o continue to
work the number of hours they now
are working.

United States Officials Publish
Actual Proof of BoIshevik
Treachery.
PAID IN GERMAN GOLD
Documents Show That Lenine and
Trotzky Received $25, 5000, 900 from
the German Government as Re-
ward for Their DupIicity.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE United
states government, in the first install.
ment of an amazing series of official
documents disclosed through the com
mittee on public information, lays be.
fore the world proofs removing any
doubts that Lenine and Trotzky, the
B~olshevik leaders, are paid German
agents-if indeed any doubts remain.
Secured in Russia by American
agents, these documents not only show
how the German government through
Its imperial bank paid $25, 900, 900 in
gold to Lenine, Trotzky and their i'm
mediate associates to betray Russia
into deserving her Allies, but give add.
ed proofs, If any be necessary, that
Germany had perfected her plans for
a war Of world conquest long before
the assassinations at Sarejevo, which,
as the world is now convinced, con
veniently furnished her pretext.
These documents further show that
before the world war was four months
old, and more than two years before
the United States was drawn into it,
Germany already was setting afoot her
plans to mobilize destructive agents
and observers" to cause explosions,
strikes and outrages in this COUNT I.
and planned the employment of "anar.
chists and escaped criminals" for the
purpose.
German staff Planned Details.
Ranking in their sensational nature
with the notorious Zimmerman note
proposing war with Mexico and Japan
on the United States, these documents
lay bare a new Strata of Prussian in
trigue, a new view of the workings of
kultur to disrupt the Allies, standing
between the world and kaiserism.
They show that the Bolshevik revolu
ton was arranged for by the German
great general staff and financed by
the German imperial Bank and other
German financial institutions.
They show that the treaty of Brest-
Litovsk was a betrayal of the Russian
people by the German agents, Lenine
and Trotzky; that a German-picked
commander was chosen to defend
Petrograd against the Germans: that
German officers have been received
secretly by the Bolshevik government
as military advisers; as spies on the
embassies of Russia's allies; as officers
in the Russian army, and as directors
of the B%olshevik military, foreign and
domestic policy. They show, in short,
that the present Bolshevik government
is not a Russian government at all,
but a German government, acting sole.
ly in the interests of Germany and be.
traying the Russian people, as 1t be.
trays Russia's natural Allies, for the
benefit of the imperial German govern.

GREEKS ADVANCE
ON l9.MILE FRONT

London, Sept. 18.-In Macedonia
the Allied forces continue their Of
fensive against the Bulgarians with
success. Important positions have
been taken and more than 5000 pris-
oners captured.
Allied pressure against the Ger
mans on the western front shows no
signs of abating. In the region of
Metz the enemy is reported to be
burning towns in the valley of the
Moselle, probably in preparation for
a retirement to the Hindenburg line
in this region.
So successful was the first thrust
of the Serbian and French troops on
front that the attacking front has
been extended to more than IL
miles, on which the Allies have ad-
vanced n%orthward more than five
miles. The Greeks advanced two or
three miles on a 19-mile front. Sew
eral series of ridges have been given
up by the Bulgarians, who also have
lost the village of Gradeshnitsa. A
Pugo-Slav division is fighting with
the Allies and has reached the impor-
tant height of Kodak, northeast of
Sokol. The Allied movement appar-
emily is aimed at the clearing of the
Vardar valley and the threatening or
capture of Prilep, IN important rail-
way junction and supply base north
of Monastir. The Bulgarian war of
crossed in the mountain region east
of Monastir, but says they suffered
heavy losses. A Serbian official
statement says the Allied losses have
been quite small.

invitations to all the belligerent gov
ernments to enter into non-binding
discussions at some neutral meeting
place, stated that the object Of the
conference would be to seek an ex-

promising"
The Austrian proposal, which is an

points which need to be precisely de-
fined"
The government announced that a
Eote embodying Its suggestions had
been addressed to the various belliger-
ent powers and that the Holy See has
been apprised of the proposal In q
special note. The governments OF the
neutral states also have been made
acquainted with the proposal.
London, Sept. lit is understood
that the government has received the
Austro-H Hungarian peace note and also
the proposal, previously referred to,
that all the powers should withdraw
their troops from the Thurman ter
ritory.
1t Is also learned that Germany has
made a peace offer to Belgium.
That Belgium shall remain neutral
until the end of the war.
That thereafter the entire economic
and political independence OF Belgium
shall be reconstructed.
That the pre-war commercial trea-
ties between Germany and Belgium
shall again be put into operation after
the war for an indefinite period.
That Belgium shall use her good of.
ices to C the return Of the Ger.
man colonies.
That the Flemish question shall be
considered, and the Flemish minority,
which aided the invaders, shall not be
penalized.

specting reparation or indemnities, no
admission that Germany wronged Bel.
