The German invasion Of Russia
mysteriously slowed up and on March
first 1t was reported from London that
the forward movement Of the Huns
had been stopped on orders from Ber-
lin. At the same time reports from
Petrograd were to the effect that the
eolshevih were preparing to make the
best possible defense Of that city II
it was attacked.
On February % 1t was reported from
Petrograd that the allied ambassadors
had left the Russian capital for ST.
IBERIA. 1t is unlikely that they viii be
able to reach the Pacific coast at
Vladivostok In less than close TO three
weeks, and the probabilities are that
they will be seriously molested by the
mobs Of armed bandits that are roam
ing the country from the Ural noun
tains to beyond Lake Baikal. The boil
sheviki have practically no control Of
any kind beyond the Ural mountains,
though 1t claims to have suppressed
the so-called Siberian republic.
Every report received from Austria
indicates that that country would
willingly seek peace on any fairly rea.
sonable basis offered by the allies, II
1t were possible for her to do so, but
she Is SO dominated by German infiu-
ence that 1t is hardly possible for her
to break away. The hold Of Germany
is maintained through the Austrian
army which has been very largely Ger
manized since the war began
So 1t Is believed that Austrfs will
have to remain In her unholy partner
ship despite her war WEAKNESS. She
has lost 100000 men, her food stu
alton is desperate, and the future,
even II Germany could win, Is dara
for her, for a greater Germany would
only mean more impotent Austria,
but she cannot break away. She
must continue in the war under pain
of being stamped on by the nation
that has her In Its power.
That is how our allies regard the
Austrian situation, and is the ex.
! PLANTATION Of their lukewarmness
toward the American effort to widen
the rift between the kaiser and EN-
peror Carl.

FOOD FAMINE IS SEEN
IF WAR ENDED TODAY
Rotary Club Speaker Says Neu.
trails Would Have to
Be Fed

Should the war cease tomorrow the world
would be confronted with a food famine !;
that 1t will take the most careful co-opera-
tion on the part o. the people with the
food administration to avoid compulsory con-
servation, and that food profteering has not
been stamped out as yet were some of the
features in the address yesterday by Howard
Heinz, food administrator of Pennsylvania.
at the weekly luncheon OF the Rotary Club
at the Hotel Adelpha
His remarks teemed with warning that the
people individually must save food to pre-
vent much buer period ahead" He grew
bitter when. in referring to the determination
of the food administration to stamp out
profteering, he characterized food profiteers
as yellow dogs" The food administrator at
the close of his speech appointed every MEM
ber of the club deputy food administrator
ito see that the public gave cooperation in
food conservation"
Business without n war incentive" Mr..
Heinz said, "is not an American business.
Business used, In these times solely to make
profits is neither legal nor desirable l am
referring to the food proflteer. The food dis
tribution business should be satisfied today
with a pre-war profit. To make profits In
excess Of that Is not square deal to the
man at home or the man at the front With
the business man of France, Italy and Eng
land 1t is not a question of profits. but of
existence. II you come out of the war with
your business intact what have you got?
Why everything.
Every business man in the country has
to make up his mind this Is going to be i,
hard and long fight. II each man here would
interest ten other men In seeing that the
food conservation measures were observed
and each one of that ten enlist ten other
