r
The Hague.?Germany is hastening
toward a new war crisis, its gravest.
In it stomachic, political military and
moral phases are all intimately connected.
The morale of the German
people, yearning for peace under increasing
food pressure as never be^
fore, is being subjected to a tremendous
strain, brought almost to the
long intermission before the promised
happy last act of the Ludendorff
offensive.
Inspired German military critics in.
dustrially continue to try to divert
public opinion into a semblance o;
optimism and enthusiasm for the re
sumption of the "Kaiser's battle." To
revive the faith of the doubting and
discouraged masses the critics reiterate
the explanation that a long pause
is inevitable in order to prepare for
a general super offensive.
lialm for the Doubters.
Gen. Baron von Ardenne in the
f Tageblatt tells the doubters that the
long intermission also has been die
tateu Dy the course of eventp, including'the
possibility of bringing reinforcements
to the west front from
Roumania following- the signing of
the peace treaty and the plan for the
immediate commencement of an Austrian
offensive against Italy.
Although there is every indication
that behind the fog of talk the Gor
v man highest leadership is preparing
people are too much absorbed again
an unprecedented blow, the German
by their food troubles to list?'n to the I
military prophets. Germany h;n
again entered upon the worst period
of the food year. Whereas condition
were better during the past winter
than in the previous one, they have
gnown rapidly worse until there is no
appreciable difference between the
hunger of thp spring of 1917 and that
of 1918. In

sible reduction .of the bread ration
; Germans are face to face with the
real fact of a material reduction in
the slender meat ration. While theoretically
unchanged, 20 per cent. >f
the imperial meat ration must be ta- i
ken in sausage. In addition several ]
of the federal states have on the.'r ]
own initiative enforced measures
which practically reduces the ration
in order to limit the slaughtering of
cattle that are emaciated to the bone ,
after an almost feedless winter. i
It is significant that a rumor is cur

horses; further, that the public has
been surprised by a sudden, unexpected
distribution of sauerkraut taken
from the army's reserves.
Food Reserves Near Exhaustion.
Germany's food reserves for the
civilian population must consequently
be regarded as very near the exhaustion
"point, with no relief in sight un:il
the summer fruit and vegetables
")m? and no real improvement posst>le
until the next harvest.
Significant too is the fact that
vith increasing sickness among th ?
copulation Germany is suffering from
x shortage of doctors. More than twothirds
of Germany's doctors are in I
the army, and according to a statement
made in the Reichstag bv Mild
lor-Mciningen-Hof, the shortage of
doctors is increasing from month to
month and is being particularly fe'.t
in the heretofore healthy country districts.
Bad health conditions are
widespread. There is an epidemic of
barber's- itch both in the army and
in the civil population.
According to Prof. Buschke, who
has been intrusted by the Prussian
War Ministry with the task of combating
the alarming epidemic, it isi
the "widest spread on record, sparing
not even the women and childr n."
More than 23 per Cent, of th? German
people are suffering from barbers'
itch. The epidemic, according to
Buschke, is due to "general unfavorable
hygienic conditions."
The Thorn of Electoral Reform.
Another troublesome element is the
certainty of the defeat of democracy
on the Prussian electoral reform
issue in the Diet. If the present Gov
ernment meant to keep faith with the
people it cannot Resort to the means
of immediately 'dissolving the reactionary
Prussian Diet, because under
the Constitution a new election must
11 ii - *
do noid vvunin six weeks, and the
man power shortage is such that it
is a physical impossibility to prepare
lists of the electors within that time.
Hence no other policy is open to the
Government but procrastination.
The Catholic Germania says:
' Much as one regrets this unrest in
our inner political life in the midst
of decisive military fighting, there is
no other way out. Better a new election
than that the thought should
take fixed root among the broad
masses of the people that the Government
is not serious about electoral
reform and that the people are being
defrauded of their rights despite
the royal promise."
"Not only among Social Democrats,
but in the widest circles of the nation,"
says Vorv/aerts, "the feeling
prevails that the Pan-German:;, annexationists
and enemies of electoral
reform are once again completely in
the saddle."
"In the Reichstag one again talks
of a crisis in the air," says the Tageblatt.
Increasing food pressure is the
root of the quaintest food crime on
record. The municipality of Lanwit:*.
has offered a reward of $50 fcr in- ,
formation regarding a thief who
stole the tame deer from the Municipal
Park and butchered it on ih^
premises.

! HEAVY BOND IN
SABOTAGE GASE
Charleston.?Ten thousand dollars
is the amount of the bond required by
U. S. Commissioner A. M. Huger for
the appearance of Louis Boette, arrested
on a federal warrant by government
officials and to be tried for
sabotage. He is charged with having
placed bits of wire nails in delicate
parts of the pneumatic drills at
the works of Valk & Murdoch Co.,
where they were being used in government
boiler construction.
A formal hearing was waived and
without further ceremony the defend|
ant was detained for trial before the
district court at its June session. Tito
defendant was unable to furnish the
required bond and was committed tg
jail.
J The charge is that he lias violated
the sabotage act, passed last month,
and so far as local authorities know,
this is only the second case of the
kind. The first occurred very recently
in New York. Certainly this is the
first in this part of the country.
Bocttc is charged with injuring only ,
the tools used in the construction of
the boilers and not hurting the boil- ^
ers themselves in any way, but the ^
injury to the tools brings about a ,
delay in the construction of war materials,
and comes, it is ruled, within ,
the meaning of the act. I
The defendant is the son of a local
grocer, a naturalized citizen of the
United States, but formerly a Ger- ,
man. He is only 17 years old, and ^
was employed at the shipyard as a (
boilermaker's apprentice.
The seriousness of the offense with v
which he is charged can be gathered (
irom the punishment prescribed and .
the size of the bond under whi<5h he
is being held. The maximum penalty
for the violation of the sabotage act
is a fine of $10,000 or thirty years ,
imprisonment or both.
