Germany,
says Gustave C. Roeder, in a copy
rhted article which the New York
World printed Tuesday morning
Mr. Roeder is a veteran newspaper
wn-for aa wil as a former member
WW A. A ls-A -w-
of the United States navy. He was
sent to Germany, to make a painstak
ing investigation of actual conditions
there. He goes on to say
"If Germany is unable to feed, not
nniv hor huorp. armv of millions of
sons of the Fatherland who are to
day following the banner of the kais
er, DUt aiSO ner civiua.ua icu ttuiumc,
then the world will soon see the war
at an end. Defeat ror Germany
would be a natural consequence.
"If, on the other hand, the Ger
i . t? i l
mans nave an ampie rooa suppiy,
enough not only to satisfy the want
of those battling for the future of
the empire, but also for the care of
the civilian population at home then
the war may be carried on for
months or, maybe, years."
Mr. Roeder's conclusions are sum
med up as follows:
1. The report that Germany is on
the point of starvation is absolutely
false. There is ample supply, not
only to feed the monster army which
Germany has placed in the field, but
also enough to care for the rest of
the populace.
2. There are on hand today
enough foodstuffs to last at least one
year, ii not 18 months.
3. A positive and absolutely ef
fective blockade has not been estab
lished against German ports, and
iooasiuirs ana otner materials are
being brought into Germany today
from outside sources.
4. There is no scarcity of flour or
bread. On the contrary, there is
enough on hand of the former so
that the German government will
not be compelled to draw upon the
products of the crop of 1915 until
next year, if then.
5. Even if the crop of 1915 should
turn out to be a poor one, it would
still be greater than the crop of an
average year, because, since August
1, 1914, more land under the Ger
man . banner has been cultivated for
agricultural purposes than ever be
fore.
6. There is enough meat on hand
to last for an indefinite period.
7. Germnay today is practically
self-supporting.
8. The financial conditions of the
country are such that it will be a
long time before the war chest can
be emptied.
9. Throughout Germany proper
there are scarcely any indications
that outside of her domains a cruel
war is raging.
10. Germany will fight to the last
man, if necessary, and her sons are
proudly sacrificing their lives upon
the field of battle, knowing that in
doing so they serve their Father
land best.
11. The feeling against Americans
in Germany is most bitter, because
American arms and ammuition are
supplied by American firms to the
allies.
12. Every man, woman and child
in Germany firmly believes that Ger
many will come out victorious in
this great struggle against her op
ponents. Country Lacks Signs of War.
"What impresses the visitor to
GerTtfany most forcibly at this time
is the fact that in the country prop
er there are practically no indica
tions of war," says Mr. Roeder.
"Trains are running just as regular
ly as they did in time of peace, and
there is considerable traffic as far
as passengers are concerned. Such
a thing as a train being late, either
in starting or arriving upon its des
tination, is a matter practically un
heard of. I have traveled thousands
and thousands of miles by railroad,
through Germany, within the past
few weeks, and upon no occasion
did our train ever arrive as much as
a minute late. It may be stated that
just now the train service is exclu
sively in charge of the military au
thorities in Germany.
"Another feature which is ob
served at once by the foreign visitor
to the Fatherland during the present
war times is the absolute and posi
tive obedience with which every Ger
man lives up to every rule, order or
command which comes to them,
either through the civil or military
authorities or from the police.
"There exists today in Germany
one of the. most thorough systems of
espionage that can be imagined. It
is utterly impossible for a stranger
to enter Germany without the nec
essary passport, which must contain
the caller's photograph, or without
additional documentary proof that
the person about to cross the border
is just what he represents himself
to be. If there is the slightest doubt
in the minds of those who pass upon
an applicant's appeal to the right to
enter Germany, such permission is
not only refused, but the applicant is
ON detained, sometimes for days or
weeks, until such times as the party
positively has established his right
to travel.
Foreigners Must Tell All.
"It is also utterly impossible for
a foreigner visiting Germany just
now, even after he successfully has
passed the frontier, to remain in any
city, town or village for more than a
few hours without letting the police
and other authorities know all about
himself. In Essen, for instance,
where the famous Krupp gun works
are situated, a hotel keeper will lose
his license or other concessions if he
fails to report within 20 minutes
the arrival of a foreigner or stranger
at police headquarters. During my
travel throughout Germany, I h&
found that the police regulations as
to strangers in a city are most pains
takingly carried out in Essen.
"There was a time when the hat
red against Americans was so great
that many of them feared to be seen
in public places. Especially was that
the case with Americans who were
unable to talk German fluently.
Even our ambassador was openly in
sulted in public once. It is not ad
visable, even today, when this bitter
feeling against the Americans has
considerably subsided, for any Amer
ican to travel through Germany un
less he is able to speak the German
tongue.
"During my trip through Germany
I was asked almost daily: 'Why do
you Americans supply the allies with
arms and ammunition and other mu
nitions of war, and in that way con
tinue the cruel wor against us?'
The average German does not
seem to understand, or care to un
derstand, that Germany has as much
right to buy arms and" ammunition
in America for use by the Germans
against the allies as have the allies
for use against the Germans.
Denounce President Wilson.
They do not understand, or- do
not want to understand, why their
ships no longer cross the Atlantic
ocean, why their trade between na
tions across the sea had to be aban
doned, and why it is so easy for the
allies to carry what is known as pro
visional contraband from a neutral
country to one engaged in warfare.
They do not hesitate one moment
to denounce President Wilson and
his administration for permitting the
export from America to the allies
of war material, and what seems to
arouse them more than anything
else is that a man bearing a German
name Schwab should be at the
head of the list of those to supply
such war material.
'If America did not furnish the
allies with arms and ammunition
the war would have been over long
ago, they declare. 'We had con
quered the enemy up to the time the
United States stepped in and helped
to continue the bitter warfare.'
The Germans in the field today
can tell, so they write home, the
difference between the sheila
factured in America and those
made in France or England, for in
stance. They say that out of the
shells used in the beerinnirur rf tha
war by the French about 50 per cent
exploded, while out of the shells
manufactured in America and used
by the allies against the Germans be
tween 80 per cent and 90 per cent
exyioae. iney also say that they
can tell the differpnrp hptwon
v " " vvn C4
European shell and one made in
America by the peculiar sound which
the latter creates in flying through
the air."
"What do you think of a four-
course luncheon at sixteen and oner
half oents a plate?" asked Mr T. E.
Browne, the boys' corn club author
ity in North Carolina. It was not a
joke; Mr. Browne was absolutely
serious. He explained:
"This past week I was in Guilford
county attending commencements at
farm life schools of the county. At
the Jamestown school the girls of the
domestic science department furnish
ed a four-course luncheon. Every
thing had ben figured out to a
nicety. .There was not the slightest
waste of material, and everything
had been worked out economically.
But even with this I was surprised
when the domestic science teacher
told me that the luncheon was
served for sixteen and a half cents.
"What is more," added Mr.
Browne, "I was informed at other
of the farm life schools of the coun
ty that the average cost of a lunch
eon as prepared was just between,
four and a half and six cents. It
just means that domestic science has
entered the household and has
worked a revolution." Raleigh

A Case of Fewer and Bigger Biscuits.
The cotton acreage might not fall
-far below what it was last. year.
While quite a number are saying
nothing about how much cotton they
intend planting, most of those who
are going in for a reduction are mak
ing the reduction a very small item.
T. J. W. Broom is telling of some
farmers who were enthusiastic over
the acreage reduction. When asked
if they intended to cut the acreage
in cotton this year they replied,
"Yessirre." One of these enthusias
tic gentleman, when asked how
much, replied that he planted 48
acres last year and that he was only
going to plant 45 this year. Another,
who planted 20 last year will only
try 18 this year. With many of the
farmers it is like the man whose
physician had advised him to eat
less. So the fellow decided to carry
out the doctor's instructions, went
to his wife and said, "The doctor
says that I must not eat so much. So
instead of cooking me 20 biscuits
in the morning you need only make
19, but make them just a little bit
bigger." Waxhaw Enterprise.

A "Dry" England Possible.
A press report from London says:
Probably no session of the British
Parliament since the opening of the
war has been awaited with keener
interest that the sittinar whiVh win

A. "dry" England is not beyond
the possibilities, but the government
has given no official hint as to what
action may be expected.
Several days ago an opposition
paper published a forecast of the
government plan, which, it asserted,
contemplated the prohibition of all
liquors, except light beer, which
would be manufactured by the gov
ernment. This prediction received

Paint half your job Devoe; paint the other
half whatever you like. If Devoe doesn't take
less gallons and cost less money, no pay.
The cost of putting it on is about two-thirds
of the job.
If Devoe doesn't wear a year or two years
or three years or four years longer distinctly
longer and better we'll give you enough to
do it again.
But we warn you how it will all turn out. The best
half of your job will cost you so much less than the other
half, and wear so much better too, that you'll never divide
it again.
You won't get your paint free, you'll get
what is better. You'll know Devoe; you'll
know strong points; you'll know weak points,
and the question is settled.
