The reason so many persons have ex-

Loneliness is nearly sin, if you are

Mere joyousness is not a sign of

Some Fear of Food Shortage.

Berlin.-If rural Germany desired to
punish Berlin for the misbehaviOr ut
the capital during the last week by
Withholding food shipments it proba-
bly, would find it's ambitions frustrated
by the system of national distribution
evolved two years ago and which is
still in operation.
Provincial Germany Chat is the
Agrarian sections) turns in its food
products under this system to local re-
ceiving stations, whence they are sent
to various sections Of the country. The
producer is rarely aware Of the destl'
nation of his wheat, potatoes, vegeta-
bles or cattle, all Of which are appor-
toned according to the needs of the
various communities.
While disgust with Berlin over the
rebellion Is unconcealed in all parts OF
Germany. the influence of this feeling
on the food supply is likely to be nil.
The only immediate menace appears
to be the shortage in rolling stock, al
though the possibilities of the Polish
Invasion of Posen are serving to COM
plicate matters.

House immigration Committee
Told at Least 100000 Men
will Remain in Army for Year.

Neutrality-suspicious. of labor and
manufactured goods will continue to
advance in the future rather than de-
cline, according to an opinion express
ed by John B. Densmore, director OF
the United States employment service,
before the House Committee on lmmi-
grafton.
Members of the committee expressed
surprise at his assertion and referred
to slumps after wars in the past, but
Mr.. Densmore said that all calcula-
tions would ave to be revised for this
war.
Mr.. Densmore said that he believed
that factories and industries would be
able to run at full speed during the
next few years He said no difficulty
has been experienced so far in provid-
ing employment for discharged SOL
diers.
During the war we never came
within 100000 common laborers OF
the number we could have used," said
Mr.. Densmore. "That does not take
into consideration mechanics or other
trained workers. This country is short
about 100000 immigrants, who would
have come in during the past four
years but for the war.
"If they were needed before the war
they could have been used during the
war. When you figure the number OF
people who left the United States dur
ing the war you have another loss.
Then at least 100000 will remain in
the army during the next year. In
some cities we find that as many as
so per cent. IF the foreign population
would like to return to Europe as soon
as possible"
The bills under discussion provided
for the exclusion of immigrants during
the next two or four years. No action
was taken.
Thousands of Austrians are planning
to come to America as soon as possible,
Mr.. Densmore told the committee. A
Red Cross worker informed him, Mr..
Densmore said, that 100000 Austrians
were in Italy, most Of whom expected
"to drift to the United States as fast
as they can"
