DEFEATED NATION
is REACHING STAGE
NEAR STARVATION

BERLIN. Feb. Germany is alb
solutely dependent upon foreign sour
ces for its immediate food require
ments, says Paul Mankietwitz, a direc-
tor of the Deutsche bank.
1--WE need the courage to acknowl-
edge these facts the banker de-
clareS. ut is intolerable that the
minister of economies should tell the
world that Germany's food supplies
are safeguarded, while on the other
hand we are forced to admit in the
conference of international bankers
that Germany is facing a fresh era
o~ hunger unless the banks of the
country take hold of the situation"
Herr Mankietwitz supports the cur
rent conviction that a long time credit
of a large amount is imperative, and
he suggests the formation of units,
comprising various branches of indus
try. which would be cooperate with
similar units in America for the pur-
pose of obtaining American products.
Those, he says would he offset in
greater part with German commodities
the balance to remain pending until
the German economic situation better
ed itself.

ARMY TO SAVE MONEY
BY REPAIRING SHOES

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Com
siderable saving in the maintenance
of the army is to be effected by the
organization of mobile units to repair
shoes and later to patch and saiVase
harness. The first of these units con-
sist of two trucks, one Of which carries
a complete equipment for making re-
soling, heeling and reconditioning the
uppers. The other truck is used as
store room and carries all supphes'
spare parts and accessories.
1t is expected that the unit viii
have sufficient capacity to take care
of all the shoe repair work of a regu-
lar army division while on the march.
In the event it is found suitable 1or
military purposes, the scheme Is 10
have one unit attached to each dlvi-
sion. subsequently, futher develop
ments are contemplated whereby ma
chinery for the repair of harness ana
