Berlin, Aug. 23. (By MaiD-Herr Beser, the Prussian railway minister, in statement to the Berlin Chamber of Commerce paints a gloomy picture of affairs on the State railways. Every day he said a subsidy of 10000, 900 marks is required from the Treasury. Passenger traffic at present amounts to only fifteen per cent. normal, he said, and express service has dropped to four per cent Higher tariffs Tor goods and passengers are believed in evitable.

If possible, the use of coal in its present form, whereby the greater part of the heating units pass up the chfn- ney. must be prohibited by law.

PENALTY FOR PROFITEERING
 RETROACTIVE

Washington, Sept. 11-AttOrney General Palmer, asked today if the penalty for profiteering would oper ate to punish violations committed before the penalty was made a part of the statute in accordance with the amendment to the Food Control act, said that profiteering and hoarding were made crimes by the law two years ago. ''The mere fact of add ing the penalty after the law was passed doesn't mean that violators of the law from the time it became eff fective cannot be punished,'' he add ed.
 The Attorney General reiterated that reports from dealers indicated good results were being obtained by the departments efforts to prevent prices from going higher. Further advances had been stopped in virtu- ally all lines, he said, while in many decreases in price had been record ed and profiteering in sugar had been halted.
 The House Agriculture Committee today ordered a favorable report on the bill to control cold storage.

 While the plan has not been fully

GREAT INCREASE
 IN PRODUCTION
 TO SAVE EUROPE

London, Aug. 24. Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Unless European productivity can be rapidly increased, there can be nothing but political, moral and economic chaos finally interpreting itself in loss or life on a scale hitherto undreamed of, says Herbert Hoover, head of the inter-Allied Relief Commission in an analysis of the economic situation in Europe just published in the British National Food Journal.
 The entire surplus productivity or the Western Hemisphere is totally incapable of meeting the present de- ficiency in European production if it is long continued" the analysis as- serts. Nor could credits be mobil- ized for this purpose for more than a short period because all credits must necessarily be simply in ad- vance against the return of commodi- ties in exchange and credits will break down the instant that the re- turn of commodities becomes impro- bable.

FOOD SHORTAGE THIS WINTER IN
 GREAT BRITAIN

York, Eng, Aug 25. CCorrespon-
 denCe of the Associated Press. )--
 Abundance of imported meat, bacon,
 cheese, margarine, rice, tea, sugar.
 and apples is assured the people of
 Great Britain this coming winter by
 the authorities but home grown pro-
 ducts such as milk, meat. butter and
 dried fruits, it is said, will be scarce
 and costly.
 Meanwhile the government food control will continue in order that
 rich and poor alike may share in the available supplies Nothing like the | hardships endured during the last
 two years of the war is anticipated
 because the government supervision and distribution will not be so rigOr- ous as when Haig's army had its back to the walI.f
 The expense of feeding and fatten-
 ins cattle is the factor that will make home grown meat scarce. Hay and oat crops are abnormally short, and | foot yields in some parts of the coun- ! try are almost a failure. Cattle ! "cake," which will have to be used | more freely, is more expensive than l last year.
 The same considerations apply tc | milk The price for August was 6S cents per gallon to the dairyman. and | for September at 75 cents Last win. [ ter it was 20 cents a quart, but high ! CT prices are expected the coming i winter.
