ALLIED ARMIES IN ALL RUSSIA
 NOT IN DANGER
FOOD SHORTAGE LIKELY COMPEL
 EARLY RETREAT

LONDON, April (R}-Reports received today by the British war office state that the allied forces in southern Russia are seriously em. barrassed by food shortage. Be cause of this shortage their opera tions have been curtailed and gen. eral conditions are said to be dis couraging. In fact it is stated that the situation may be considered critical from the allied viewpoint.
 It is now admitted that the evac. uation of Odessa and the adjacent territory is a possibility of the near future. This step. however. 1t Is stated will be because of the food shortage and not on account of mili. tary reasons.
 No official reports have been re- ceived which confirm the probable from Odessa, but officials realize that without fresh supplies of food the allied armies now ope- rating on the southern Russian front cannot be expected to continue the present campaign for any extended period. There is no source from which the necessary supplies may be obtained to tide over a series of ope- and unless there Is 8 change in the present state of affairs with drawal must soon begin.

WASHINGTON. April 5.-R)-An announcement made by General Pey. ton c. March today showing the rela. tive strength of the present allied armies and those of Germany shows how futile Is Germany's threats to resume the war should the peace terms offered her prove unsatis. factory.

 AS the allied forces were then stronger than those of Germany. 1t can be seen that the preponderance of power now possessed by the d. lies is 50 great that there is no pos sible chance for the enemy to take any active measures to prevent the enforcement. if it should become nee. essary, of any provision included in the final settlement

FARMER TRAPPERS ARE

. WINNIPEG, Man, May 2. (Spl)-
Farmer trappers boosted the annual fur
production of Manitoba more than ST.

report compiled by the Crank Trunk
Pacific railway. More than n third
OF the total value was represented by
muskrat pelts. While many of the furs
were obtained by professional trappers,
a large proportion came from farmers,
who reap a rich winter harvest in ad-
dition to their regular harvest of crops,
live stock and dairy products,
Instead of remaining idle during most
of the winter months-which is the
lot of many farmers in the temperate
zone-these farmers long & learned
that they can substantially increase
their yearly incomes by setting traps
during the winter along the creeks,
rivers and lakes which abound through
out Canada. Nor is winter ever G

Two Large Dirigibles Ready.

The two great British dirigibles re-
Gently launched are in a class by them
selves. There Is very little, II any,
doubt OF their ability to fly from Eng
land to the united States at any time
the admiralty elects to start them.
The feat, nfomentous as 1t would be,
would lack the sporting flavor OF a
flight with planes and would detract
nothing from the prestige attaching to
accomplishment of the passage with a
heavier than-air machine.
AS for the undertaking of Lieut.. Fon-
tain, the Frenchman. 1t is ~undeniably
important and of first-class interest,
but from the American viewpoint it is
of a ~remoteness,' to employ the
French idiom. This is due in part to
the route selected.
The Dakar- Pernambuco course, as
the alhatross flies, Is approximately
1900 miles, about 100 miles less than
separates Newfoundland and Ireland.
The Cape Verde islands lie 800 or 400
miles off Cape Dakar, almost due west,
and the st. Paul Rocks, a barren group
| on which only absolute necessity would
prompt a landing. are two-thirds of the
way across.
Prevailing wind currents are from the
northeast for half the distance, beyond
which point Gains n variable breezes
are the common experiences of the
sailor. 1t is fair to assume that Fon-
tain has based his plans on all the
information available concerning wind
and weather and has found spring the
best time for flight in those ATTITUDES
As the United States army has not
as far as is known, selected q plane
for the flight, 1t is probable that it,
plans are not very far along.
