Can Germany Be Starved.
Jnited Press Dispatch.
The Hague, Sept. 17.—Can
! Germany be starved out ? The
question has been asked a thou
sand times. If the chancellor
ies of England, France and Rus
isia knew teh answer, one of
the biggest problems of the mil
itary strategists would be solv
lea. Opinions on this mooted
point vastly differ. It is true
jtha$ Germany has been depend
' ent to a large extent on oversea
food supplies, but the recent as
sertion of a writer on economic
j subjects that one-third of Ger
! many’s foodstuffs is imported,
| is called a gross exaggeration.
Germany does import something
over five per cent of her meat.
She also requires about 1,000,
000 tons of wheat from abroad.
Her imports of grain are much
larger in times of peace. How
ever, her heavy exports of r>e
to Russia have ceased. This
grain remains in the Fatherland.

of fodder. The vast amount of
fodder that Germany needs and
uses in times of peace comes
from Russia. The supply from
the Czar’s domains stopped be
fore the German straw crop
was available. This means that
a large proportion of the young
cattle must be slaughtered out
of hand—an alarming propor
tion, in fact, according to some.
Violate Deer Law
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 16.—E. V.
Visart, Federal Game Warden
for Arkansas, has gone to Cross
county to place before the grand
jury evidence which he expects
to convict several pot hunters
of that section for killing deer
for the market- Warden Visart
was in that section last week and
hunted with the offenders, who
told him of their good luck, and
how they had sold venison on
the streets of Cross county
towns for twelve and a half
cents a pound. Before leaving
Warden Visart informed the men
who he was, but as he has no
control over deer hunting, that
being controlled by state law,
the best he can do to protect
the game is to make a report to
the state officers.
“Deer is plentiful this year,
and a great deal has already
been killed”, states Game War
den Visart. “I know of om
case where a hunter killed two
deer with one shot. The open
season is on for snipe, too, and
that is plentiful. Th duck seas
on opns on the first of next
month, and then the Federal
officers will get busy to prevent
the shooting of duck at night,
and for the general protection
of migratory game.”

W. B. Jurney, East Newport,
says: “I was miserable and I
know that my kidneys were af

having with the kidney secre

darted across my back and I
know that my condition was se
r'ous. I lost strength and vital

took Doan’s Kidney Pills and a
few boxes practically cured me.”
