NO FOOD SHORTAGE
EXISTS IN GERMANY
Supply Available Declared to
Be More Than Large Enough
for Coming Needs.
1915 CROP RETURNS BASIS
OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Under Secretary of State Says Record
Yield of Potatoes Has Simrihfiprl
Prnhlpm
BERLIN", via London, October 2.".?
The food supply situation in Germany,
baser! on the nearly complete 191 ."*? crop
returns, which are declared to be*" more
than large enough for coining needs, is
explained in a statement issued by Under ;
> Secretary of State Arnold Wahnschaffe, |
* at the instance of Dr. von Bethmann*
Hollweg, the imperial chancellor. The i
* under secretary says :
"Especially in the foreign press there i
are appearing statements about a shortage
of food, particularly milk, butter and
* meat, in Germany. They are intended
to show to the rest of the worid that
;the starvation plan of our enemies is an
accomplished fact, that the Germans and
.their rattle are hunger-stricken, and that
.'Germans want speedily to make peace.
Economic Life Is Changed.
"What is true in this? It is true that
..our enemies have shut us off from importation.
and seek to starve cut the
* neacefnl trorbimr nonnlatior. Pherebv
the entire economic life of Germnnv has
changed. Trade relations have been a.1.
fered. The old law of supply and demand
110 longer controls the market as
in peace. Governmental regulation has
replaced this law in order to prevent too
high prices for "he poor. We have in
i >r:tiany carried over so much from the
old harvest to the new that we are compelled
to reduce the supply by 60.100.000
hundredweights, which will be fed to the
Vattle. We can do this because we are
l ow assured of the goodness and plenty
.of our crop.
"We had a record potato crop, such as
Germany since its foundation never had.
-Wo had counted on a good harvest of
nearly fwui.or.o.ooo heundredweight. but
actually got 1,1*00.000,000 hundredweight.
In addition, we had potatoes in excess
from occupied territory, which are offered
for sale there. We do not have to draw
on the inland at all for feeding our
armies. I'ork raising has taken an undreamed
of impetus in the hist nine
months, which was aided by the large
potato crop. In short, we have what we
need in abundance.
Prices to Be Regulated.
"The rpason for the activity anent J
^fJermany's inner conditions is that the';
government at present is engaged in
legalizing uniformly such measures as ;
already have been taken by individual I
local authorities and military com- !
.manders. The abundant potato crop I
will be apportioned out to the entire j
empire through an imperial potato cen- I
tor. Through the establishment of !
-definite potato prices it will be ar- j
ranged so that this important foodstuff
will surely and cheaply be distributed
to the civil population.
"Butter prices will be regulated for
the empire by the rules for Berlin, promulgated
by the chancellor. Maximum
prices will be set for milk. The needs J
4of children, ailing mothers and flick !
will be specially cared for through
sales counters and special tickets. A
further regulation for the use of fat-J
butter is contemplated by fat-butter i
cards. Measures also will be taken i
whereby the poorer portion of the population
will be able to get meat at
cheap prices in sufficient quantities '
through tickets or similar means. To
accomplish this we shall be sparing of !
meat fat. In a few days we shall for- j
bid the sale of meat and frying with i
fat in restaurants for several days a i
week and so regulate the consumption j
that not only every one who can pay.j
but all who need them will receive
bread, potatoes and all other foods." |
TWO "GO-GO" SIGNALS
ARE PUT IN USE TODAY
One at 14th and the Avenue and
the Other at 9th and F Streets.
Puzzle Drivers.
The two "go-go" sign.als obtained last
week by Maj. Pullman were put in op- !
eration this morning, one at 14th street i
_ _, r ,, _ ? n?V.n_ I
at 9th and F streets. Crossing Policeman
J. W. Kidwell had charge of the
one at 9th and F streets, while the other
was operated by J. H. Hartman, also
a crossing policeman.
Drivers of vehicles were puzzled when
. they approached the intersections at
which the signals Were being experimented
with. They had become accustomed
to hearing the noise of whistles
to guide them, and the crossing policemen
found it necessary to point to the
signals eight feet above the street in
order for them to start ahead.
Group* of pedestrians, many of them
persons who had never before seen
such signals, gathered on the sidewalk
and watched them in operation.
It Is Maj. Pullman's Intention to experiment
with the two signals at the
intersections where they were placed
this ..orning and later to transfer them
to other points.
"And If they prove a success." said
rbe superintendent of police, "they will
be put In operation at all the streetcar
intersections."

WANDERLUSTERS VISIT
CIVIL WAR BAHLEFIELD
Hike From Keedvsville to Antietam
and Over the Surrounding
Country.
Committee to Meet Tomorrow Evening
to Discuss Plans for
Social Meeting.
More than 2.">0 Washinprion wanderlusters
took part yesterday In what was
unanimously declared the most enjoyable
hike ever given by the local nature
lovers. The hike covered about
twelve miles, including- the battlefield
of Antietam. the wanderlusters making
the trip from Washington to
Keedysville, Md.t in two special cars
over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The official report of the trip follows:
"From Keedysville, after seeing* that
every one was provided with a proper
! lunch, we took the Boonsboro pike to
the Middle bridge crossing Antietam
creek. The old stone bridge of wartime
fame has been replaced by one of
steel, and the entire crowd, stretched
across the roadway in front, along by
and on top of the abutment walls, was
jthe first picture, both for the photogi
rapher and the casual observer.
Halt Ordered at Lunch Hour.
| "The spot seemed the logical one for '
I lunch, and having made a late start, <
and the hour a little past 12 o'clock, a
i halt was ordered. Seme chose rocky
ledges or grassy mats on the gently 1
sloping creek bank, others formed little
groups on the water's edge, where
I they might listen to the ripple of the
creek, skim stones across, or amuse '
themselves with seeing their reflection
in the stream. Some found hot coffee
at a farmhouse nearby, and a hammock
and swing, where they might
rest.
"Continuing, the walk followed the
Boonsboro pike for a short distance
and then led to the right and north
into Bloody lane, so ui..suggestive in
its natural beauty of that awful carnage
which took place there September
IT, 1 At one turn is f.o??kout tower,
where wonderful views of the country
could l.e had. At the tower we met
O. T. Reilly, who for many years has
led hundreds and thousands over the
battlefield. IJis stock of booklets and
post cards was soon exhausted. The
fields of golden grain, of which some
of us in the city have only read, were
all a reality?the 'greatest cornfields
I have ever seen, spoke a man who
had traveled from the Atlantic to the i
Pacific. It seemed a place for gods to j;
dwell, and yet our minds had to recog- j
nize the fact that here was the scene i
of one.of the bloodiest engagements of
the civil war. where determined armies,
both fighting for a principle, surged !
across the now peaceful fields, with
destruction in their wake.
Visit Dunkard Church.
j
"The next point of interest was the j
Dunkard Church and the various monu- j
ments nearby. The old church, which
offered shelter to the wounded men on
both sides,' still serves as a meeting i
place for its humble worshipers.
"Leaving the church and retracing !
our steps for a short distance. Hagers- j
town pike led us to the quaint village j
of Sharpsburg, the center of the bat- |
tlefleld. Children by the roadside sold j
some us bullets which are supposed to j
be relics of the great war. Some j
wanted to stop at the cemetery, but as
! an excellent view had been obtained
from Boonsboro pike and the time
limit was doubtful this point had to be
left, except for a few who took the
risk and came very near getting lost.
"From the historic little town a small
ravine was followed, along the roadside,
to Antietam creek again, thence
down the course of the creek to Burnside
bridge, a three-arch structure,
built of white stone. In its setting of
low it was a study well worth the time
and money of any artist to make a special
trip to paint.
"From the bridge a private road over
the property of Mr. Burton was followed
to Porterstown. The lane was
covered with fallen leaves and the
walking and scenery was more in keeping
with the usual hikes Young Howard
Burton came out, as we passed the
old homestead, with bucketfuls of red
apples. Another youthful American
came along with his goat cart and of,
fered to "jitnev" those who were tired
out for 50 cents per head.
Village of Porterstown.
The village of Porterstown was entered
from the south, within a short
distance of where we had passed in the
morning to Middle bridge. The regular
road was then followed, around the
mountain spur, to Eakles Mill. At the
point of the mountain range another
fine view of the surrounding country ;
could be enjoyed. A remarkable thing j
about the entire walk was the grand
views all along, both near and far. j
Then the sunset across the valley, with I
the long shadows, the purple and gold j
of the sky and trees, was glorious in
the beautiful afterglow.
"Eakles Mill was reached about quar- j
ter past 5. The small station is in j
charge of C. O. Eakles, grandson of the
man for whom the station was named.
The ruins, th?> foundation and water- i
wheel, of the old mill are still there.
The station itself was burned some
three years ago and an old brick and
frame dwelling is now used as home
and station by Mr. Kakles and his
daughter Doris. We persuaded Doris
to make some coffee, and when she got
under way several of the young ladies
of the party joined in and helped her in
washing the dishes and assisting generally.
"As the real station was 'nix,' and the
air had grown somewhat chilly, some
one suggested a camp Are.
"'Just the thing' Bring your lunchboxes
and some stray bits of wood,'
suggested another, and. presto, the twilight
was brightened by the lire's glow.
A circle was formed, and while a few
still were enjoying their lunch and coffee.
Johnny Kosson and c*. T. Aldridge
took the principal roles in leading the
crowd in singing patriotic and religious
airs, including 'Maryland, My Maryland,'
'The Star Spangled Banner,' 'In
the Sweet By and By' and 'Nearer, My
God. to Thee.'
View by Moonlight.
"Then, to the east, hiding its face as
if In bashfulness, slowly rose the moon,
a new glory to add to the cup of joy
now running over.
" The most hearty and congenial crowd ;
I have ever met,' said a man from British
Columbia. 'A glorious walk, everything
perfect, every one happy, it was
evident In their faces.'"
Tomorrow evening the social committee
is to meet with Miss Florence
G. Smith, 913 O street northwest, to
discuss suggestions for the social to be
held November 3. An evening walk
will be led by C. M. Stearns Wednesday
from the end of the Mount Pleasant car
line, leaving at 7:45 o'clock. Next Sunday
John Boyle, jr.. Is to lead, from
Georgia avenue and Butternut street

Church held its annual rally day yes|
terday, at which pupils of the primary
department were promoted to the main
section, and short talks were made by 1
officers and teachers of the Sundayschool.
Special music was a feature of J
