WASHINGTON, D. C. July 12 —
A detailed survey of the food sit
uation in Germany, Austria- Hun
garv, Bulgaria and Turkey during
'1917 has just been published as
Bulletin 242 by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department
of Labor. This surrey is based «x
clusirely on law*, decrees, orders,
utterances of public officials and
civic bodies of the countries covered,
and on comments of the daily press
and leading economic and trade
journals of these countries.
In general, the survey shows that
Turkey is actually starving because
of thee orruption of her own offi
cials and the greed of Germany;
that Germany and Austria are not
starving, but are having a very hard
struggle to feed themselves; that
Hungary is in better shape than
either Germany or Austria, and that
Bulgaria so far as food is concerned
is suffering the least of all the
countries covered. The survey also
shows that Germany has failed by
a wide margin to live up her reputa
tion for efficiency in her attempts
at food administration, having been
obliged to reverse her policies in
an effort to remedy in part the
fatal results of official blunders.
It shows conclusively that the civil
population of Germany and Austria
are suffering permanent physical
i deterioration from lack of proper
! food, that the death rate from tuber
cal Mis is rapidly increasing, that I .
growing boys and girls are not I.
getting halt the nourishment they ,
should have, and that manual la- .
borers are being underfed to about j
the same extent. •]
Politically, the most interesting •]
thing revealed by the survey is the jj
fact that the traditional hatred he- j
twqen the two parts of the dual •;
monarchy Austria-Hungary has been ; *
manifesting itself in the refusal of '
Hungary to share her comparative .
abundance with Austria and. In the •
official and public resentment of that *
fact in the latter country.
Profiteering, greed, breakdown ot •
transportation, and faulty organl- •
zation are big factors in the food j _
situation of Germany and her allies, j.
Many original articles on the food j
situation in leading Gorman and j ^
Austrian ne wspapers were at the dis
posal of the Bureau of Labor '
Statistic. Comments on food orders
tlioir inforcement, and the practical
result of their application were
I available from organs of all political
parties, thus representing every
point of view. Material relating to
the food situation in Hungary, Bul
garia, and Turkey wan much scarcer.
CHOLERA SWEEPS CAPITAL
RUSSIA; HUNDREDS DEAD
LONDON, July 12—Reports show
that with the increasing heat of
summer, cholera has converted Pet
rogrtd into a city of death. Hun
dreds havo been stricken by the
dread plague and the death list is
growing. The 'fact' that, the- condi
tion of the populace owing to an
insufficiency of food for some time,
does npt dispose them to resist the
disease, is one of the explanations
of the rapid dnroad of the dread
epidemic.
The government is endeavoring to
cope with the evil and many doctors
are doing wonderful work in this
way. It la heliovcd that before the
epidemic is controlled thousands of
victims will have perished.
THE HAGUE, July 12—The gen
tle art of making the vanquished
pay a policy has reached perfection
in German statecraft is exemplified
8n the manner of the German over
lords in their aggressions on Russia.
RUMLEY WAS GIVING
GOODS GERMAN MASTERS
NEW ORK, July 12—A foreign
language advertisement which ad
vertised workmen against accepting
employment in munition factories
has now been traced to Dr Rumley,
Publisher of tho New York Even
ing Mail.
Louis Hammerling, the newspaper
agent testifying before the Army
Intelligence Department swore that
he had traced this advertisement to
Rumley.
The importance of this testimony
it is impossible to over-rate. Ham
merling is the head of the Foreign
Language Newspaper association and
his position brings him in contact
with»all foreign language newspapers
publshed in the United States.
The testimony was given before
the Army officers who are now prob
ing the Rumley activities in this
country, without any question car
red out cn behalf of Germany.

sation.
