HOW HAD PLENA OF
FOOD HIE AUSTRIA STARVED
0
Washington, June 26.—A detailed
survey of the food situation In Ger
many, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria,
and Turkey during 191? has Just
been published as Bulletin 242 by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the U. S. Department of Labor.
This survey la based exclusively ou
laws, decrees, orders, utterances of
fiublic officials and civlo bodies of
the countries covered, and on com
ments of the daily press, and lead*
ing economic and trade journals of
these countries.
In general, the survey shows that
Turkey la actually starving be
cause of the corruption of her own
officials and the greed of Germany;
that Germany and Austria are not,
starving, out are having a very hard
struggle to feed themselves; that '
Hungary is in better shM>e than '
either Germany or Austria, and that
Bulgaira SiO far as food is concerned,
is suffering the least of all the
countries covered. The survey ajso
shows that Germany has failed by
a wide margin to live up to her
reputation for efficiency in her at'
tempts at food administration, hav
ing been obliged to reverse her
pollQies in an effort to remedy in
part tbo fatal results of official
blunders. It shows conclusively
that the civil populations of Ger
many and Austria are Buffering
permanent physical deterioration
from lack of proper food, that
the death, rate from tuberculosis Is
rapidly increasing, that growing
boys and girls are not getting half
the nourishment they, should have,
and that manual laborers are being
underfed to about the same extent.
Politically, the most interesting
thing revealed by the survey is the
fact that the traditional hatred be
tween the two parts of the dual
monarchy Austria-Hungary, has bee
manifesting itself in the refusal of
Hungary to share her comparative
abundance "with Austria in the
official and public resentment of
that fact in the latter country.

PEItSlL'S SAYS SI B UN
EQUAL TO OFFENSIVE
London, June 26.—German U
boats are unequal to the warfare
against them, is the virtual admis
sion of Cayt. Persius, the naval
critic of the Berliner Tagblatt, says
a Rotterdam dispatch to the Dally
Telegraph. Capt Persius Writes;'
"Every layman knows that U-boat
losses are unavoidable .owing to the
continually increasing sharpness
and effectiveness of the defense mea«
sures of the enemy, which perhaps
will further increase as the war
progresses.
"It is scarcely to be deuied that
our enemies, are both carrying on
the war and living and that it will
be uossbile for them to defend thenv*
selves against tonnage needs for a
long time at any rate. From the
beginning of the U-boat war it was
a mistake, often committed by us,
to underestimate the resources of
our enemies."
