Food Is Great Need
In reviewing the situation in Ger
many, DR.. Kellogg said:
I'VE must send food to Germany be-
car without it she will break up and

ness she does to-day is that which can
be kept up with local raw materials.
Labor conditions are extremely seri
Gus. Strikes are numerous and are
controlled by military measures. When
a strike was declared in Hamburg
troops were sent with machine guns to

"The spirit that dominates in Russia
is being fostered in Germany. There
are four powerful political groups:
the Spartacus group, which has become
actively Bolshevistic and is composed
criminal and German dreamers; the
Independent Socialists, who admit that
Germany caused the war, was to blame

war. 1t is clear to every foreigner In
Germany that the armistice was mis-
take; that only surrender could
give that correct background to events.
Lastly, it is developing the mistaken
diplomacy of the old regime.

who controls the volunteer divisions Of
the old army and believes that force is
the only weapon to use in Germany at
the present time.
"rhe Kaiser stands a poor chance of
ever getting back. No great animosity
is felt toward him, but. Ludendortf and
some of the army leaders come in for
the bitterest scorn Of the people.
"Whilo in Germany | heard some
high talk about not signing the peace
terms of the Allies. But I am con-

than any other country where food

"Interesting work has been done
by the American Relief Administration
in Poland. We have given them 1OO.-
