Germany Needs Food
Captain GInerardi Says

PARIS, Feb. 19.-Captain Walter H.
Gherardi, of the United States Navy.
who has been in Germany for two
weeks studying economic and general
conditions, has returned to Paris and
reports that he found much unemploy-
ment throughout the country and a
restless, fuid condition that contains
threat against the peace of the imme-
diate future. He says that Germany's
food supplies are limited to nearly
exhausted reserves, which cannot last
longer than next month, leaving a
great gap to be filled before harvest
The German army, Captain Gherardi
says, has shrunk to insignificant figures
and is no longer Formidable

now IS running at loss owing to the
greatly increased cost of labor, strikes,
stoppage of sportation and similar
obstacles to business operations. Other
concerns make similar reports.
The great iron companies are trying
to counterfeit these adverse conditions
by raising the price of steel of all
grades. An advance OF a hundred
marks ton, just announced, must
further intensity the burden upon the
country's general business interests, he
declares.
The resources of the great banks are
largely locked up in government short
term paper, which Will mean that when
the next loan is raised the banks
viii merely convert this into funded
debt, the payment of interest on which
must be regarded as gravely leopard
lied.
The Secretary of the Treasury's es-
innate that nineteen billion marks
ordinary revenue is now needed, while
offering no suggestion whatever as to
how to raise it, deepened the gloom on
the stock market yesterday.
Financiers appear to regard the new
terms as a foretaste of even harder
financial exactments than hitherto
were expected.
Director Guttmann, of the Dresdner-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-02-20

and summoned to resist any attempted
advance by the government troops.
The Spartacides have occupied the
railway station at Wanne, near Be-
chum, to prevent the determining Of gov
eminent troops, the banks and city
treasurer of Bochum having asked that
troops be sent.
The Spartacides also are showing ac-
tlvlty in other parts of Germany. It is
reported from Ortelsburg, East Prus-
STA, that Spartacides fred on soldiers
from houses. The soldiers returned
the fire, and two men were killed and
eight wounded.
