Food Administrator Hoover laid bare
the alarming seriousness OF the situa-
ton Breakdown OF transportation.

Hoover.
Food deliveries are short Corn and
potatoes are rotting Some districts

Hoover's startling revelations. which
have been known here confidentially
for some time. are intended. II is be

In some quarters II was believed
Hoover also was aiming at congress
in an effort to stop proposed legisla

which, 1t is claimed. would completely
upset the food program.
The situation, characterized by
Hoover as the most serious In history,
is briefly as follows. according TO
Hooyer's statement:
The next 60 days will be the most
critical in our food history.
BY Feb IS we will be short As. 000..

strictions Necessary.

Tokio.-"We did not expect such .
measure. which in ordinary clrcum-
stances is flagrantly against the spirit
OF the American people and against
freedom OF trade. Secretary OF the
Foreign Office Shidehara is quoted ~
saying In the newspaper Asahi in
commenting on American trade re-
strictions.
tThis presumably refers TO the re-
cent American measure making all
exports subject TO license)
1T is Japan's duty to respect tho
spirit which prompted this measure;
II is our duty to adjust our interests
accordingly II is unwise 10 criticiso

New York.-Count Won Hertling,
the German imperial chancellor, has
told the Reichstag that the Bolshevik
government of Russia has accepted
Germany's peace terms and that
peace for the Russians is Immediately

The Germans continue to overrun
the country from the Gulf OF Finland

Reval, Russia's principal port on the
Finnish gulf. and its fortress have
been captured. Pskof. situated on the
railway about loo miles southwest of
Petrograd. is in German hands and
southwark along the entire line the
invaders everywhere are steadily
pressing eastward and on their south
ern wing have formed junction with
the Ukrainians at Zhitomir, 50 miles
west of kiey, which they intend TO
take.
Although it is announced that Roy.

doubtful If serious resistance was of
fered by the Russians still holding
the town. for the invaders had made
no mention OF having come within
sight of Reval. Since the renewal OF
hostilities began the Germans have
taken over thousands of additional
square miles of Russian territory. The
rapidity of their advance even though
it was unimpeded, has been remark
able
Especially rapid has been that in

GUN POWER FAST INCREASING
ies Heavy ho~ttxsrs. 90 Heavy Guns

Under-Secretary Says.

London.-The British captures IN
the last year included 1853 heavy how

This statement was made by James
Ian Macpherson. parliamentary un-
der secretary for war In introducing
the army estimates in the house of
commons yesterday.
MACPHERSON said that the strength
Of the German army was already far
greater on the western front than a,
any previous period. and although the
allies at present are superior IN men
and guns. the balance might soon be
in favor OF the enemy. British gun
power had increased by almost 80
per cent during the last year and

SHIP LOSSES FOR THE YEAR
BRITISH AND GERMAN EST
MATES WIDE APART.
London Times Says $500, 900 Tons
Observation-Disclosures Claims Near
5000 600.

London.-Figures of ship losses by
G-boats. and escapes OF British ships
for year are now available.
The first week OF last year that
report was made, according 10 the
London Times naval expert. As YES.

The attacks decreased with a few
third week In June. when they rose
from 35 TO So Their. with a few al
terations. the number OF ships at
tackled fell again up TO the beginning
OF November when the low figure OF
IA WAS reached.
In December there was slight rise
until the drop occurred in tho first
fortnight OF January, 1918, when the
lowest figures OF l3 and IL were re-
corded. From that time the attacks
gradually have increased until they
fell again last week
In the house OF commons II was
stated that the net loss OF British
vessels OF 1900 tons or more in 1917
was 59s. but these figures give no real
indication OF the depredations OF Ger
man U-boats for the past IL months.
Large as these figures OF losses are.
the record must disappoint the Ger.
mans. Perhaps the best evidence OF
tina, is the German claim OF the de.
struction OF $4,000 900 tons during the
whole year. which must be more than
double the toll taken.
