to equalize food.
 It was said that the food situation in former Poland had improved con- siderably and that no food problem is expected there this winter Some grain" it was said, has been sent to the area from Germany.
 Strict rationing has been in- troduced by German administrators in all occupied countries, with the primary object of conserving sup plies for possible long pull, it was said.
 While no serious shortage is ex- pected this winter, the Germans are determined that the agricultural ca pacities of the occupied countries be exploited fully, France was cited as a country which could increase her production greatly. General plans for intense cultivation next summer are being mapped out in collaboration with the adminiStra- tions of the occupied lands.
 The general impression today is that Germany is preparing to meet food situation built around the possibility that the war may be pro- longed.

 Dispatches from Athens and from the Jugoslav frontier said that Greek air forces (possibly aided by the British) were striking back at the Italian columns advancing southward from Albania toward the town of Janina and that Greek de- fense forces along the main road had twice halted the FascistS in battles that cost more than 100 Italian casualties.
 Fascist bomber planes, however, continued to hammer at Greek ob- jectives, including Patras and Nav paktoS, and Rome dispatches report ed that the campaign was progress ing as scheduled despite heavy rain and muddy roads in the mountains. It was reported by Fascists that the Italians might soon announce seiz- ure of the islands of Levkas, Cep- galonia and Zapte, off the west coast of Greece.
 Italians Advance
 The Italian troops were reported by the high command to have ad- vanced through heavy weather about 12 to IT miles into Greece on the Kalamos river front yesterday and to be continuing their advance against the reteiring Greeks.
 This general statement was not necessarily in conflict with the Greek high command communiqueI which said the defenders were holding firm after a brief retirement, or with other dispatches reporting that the Italians had been set back at spe-

they relied on trade agreements among some occupied countries and with other continental nations to help, and would facilitate such agreements. The recent Russo Danish trade pact providing Den mark with cattle fodder was cited as an example.
 One informed source said that in all of the occupied nations ex- cept Norway large war stocks of food had been found and that these would be drawn upon in case of need to help their populations.

MORTALITY RAIEI
 ID BE REDUCED
Medical Science Meeting With Success Combating
 LObar Pneumonia

A further decrease in lobar pneu- monia mortality can be realized in Connecticut this year, William c. Welling, Director of the Bureau. of vital Statistics reported in the weekly broadcast of the State De- partment of Health, provided indi- vidual effort is made to attain this reduction by not neglecttng a cold and by obtaining medical care promptly when pneumonia is, sus- pected. M
 Although there were 229O cases of lobar pneumonia reported in Con- necticut in 1899 as compared with 2O76 cases in 1030, MT. Welling pointed out that there were fewer deaths. There were 715 deaths due to lobar pneumonia in 1886, y721 in 1897, 474 in 1888 and 405 in 1899. These recent reductions in mortality are the result of better methods of treating the disease. Serums and drugs, or the combination of both, have contributed to this extraordi- nary decrease.
 Pneumonia is a disease which frequently is a consequence of some earlier infection, such as influenza measles, the common cold or other communicable disease. Every year pneumonia begins to increase in De- tober. Usually it reaches its peak in January or February, and then falls away to minimum in ..ae summer
 MT. Yelling recalled that during a single month October 19l8-oveI 82,OOO cases of influenza reported in Connecticut resulted nj 523O deaths By the end of that year more than 1O5, ,OOO cases of this disease account ed for 76O8 deaths. For all forms of pneumonia there were 287l deaths in 1918. Total deaths that year due to influenza and pneumonia alone 1O, ,479- represented nearly 40 per cent of all the deaths.

 German administrators were con- fident that while French, Dutch Belgians and others would complain they would cooperate with the Ger mans in the matter of food produc- tion, regulation and preservation.
 Chief shortages in all occupied countries are soap, oils, fats and foods such as tea, coffee and cocoa Germans do not, however, regard these as having serious effect or general nourishment.
