FACE DEAOtY FAMINE,
WASHINGTON IS TOLD
Rural Districts in Both
Empires Reported on
Verge of Starvation, But
Situation Is Better in
Larger Cities.
U. S. Unable to Extend Aid to
Civilian Sufferers Without
Consent of Allies Food
Riots Suppressed by Francis
Joseph's Troops.
WASHINGTON. Feb. lS.-Admlnlslra-tlon
oMclala and diplomats representing
foreign Governments havo been Informed
that threatened famines In Germany and
Austria has compelled the active slops
adopted by Germnny to procure food for
hr civil population.
Hits Information Is contained In con
fidential advices sent Unoush Unked
States representatives In Germany and
Austria and others.
The reports permit llttlo room to tloubt
that conditions In Germany and Austria
are almost as bad a those In 1'oInnJ
and Balglum.
Outside of Vienna, Budapest and other
AustrooHuiiKarlan cities the drain on the
local supplies of foodstuffs necessary to
maintain the armies has been so steady
for the last four months that starvation
Is reported to confront hundreds of thou
sands. In Germany the conditions are de
scribed as not so terrifying as In some of
th districts of Austria-Hungary. But
even In districts of tho German Emplro
remote from the larger cities, Inure Is
reported to be a atcady and constant de
crease of the necessities of lire that can
not be replaced except from outside
sources now closed.
Few Instances of disorder resulting
from the shortage of food come in the
reports from Germany. But those de
scribing the situation in Austria-Hungary
make reference to some outbreaks on tho
part of the populace In several provinces,
which the military and civil authorities
have had to suppress by vigorous meth
ods. Any undertaking on the part of tho
United States or other neutral nations
to relieve the Increasing distress of the
noncombatants In Germany and Austria
is said to be certain to provoke a protest
from those allied In the war against the'
two countries.

GERMAN PRESS CAUSTIC
ON U. S. "UNNEUTRALITY"
"Yelping Pack of Yanke es," Exclaims Die Post.
"Whoever Enters Danger Zone Must Expect to
Perish," Says Inspi red Lokal Anzeiger.
BERLIN, Feb. 10.
Germany's reply to the United States Is
Indorsed today by nil the Berlin news
papers, which also contlnuo their criticism
of American "unnoutrallty." ThlB la
based upon tho pointed statement by the
Government that the Allies are Doing
furnished with weapons and munitions of
war by American concerns.
Dto Post Is particularly caustic In its
comment on Americans, saying:
"When something does not suit tho
YankcoB' business, they nro accustomed
to raising ns a threatening bugaboo as
great a sabre-rattling noise as possible.
Thev calculate on the State thus alannpd
creeping promptly to heel. If this effect
Is not produced. If tho threatened State
pays no attention nhd shows It cannot
be bluffed, the yelping pack of Yankees
soon quiets down."
Count von Reventlow, naval critic of
tho Tagcs Zeltung, shows moro than his
usual bitterness today. He says In his
article that "America Is trying to speak
to Germany In an altogether unsuitable
way. It has grown accustomed to deal
ings with Mexican pretenders."
The Vosslscho Zcltung says editorially:

FOR INJUSTICE TO GERMANY
Representative Again Raises Demand
for "Honest Neutrality."
WASHINGTON. Feb. ID.
Declaring Germany la not getting Justlco
from tho United States, demanding "hon
est neutrality" and accusing American
newspapers of printing "vile calumnies"
upon tho fatherland. Representative Bart
holdt asserted In the House today:
"Should tho United States evor become
embroiled In war again tho Germans of
this country would rally to tho American
flag.
Britain. One is the American traffic In
arms; tho other Is starvation. Wo need
no American nrms to strugglo with tho
ally starvation. We contest with a firm
consciousness that we shall pull through
even If not a single grain of wheat should
reach us, while Great Britain through
our blockade system must experience most
severe damage."
The Lokal Anzeiger, which reflects offi
cial opinion, comments on the situation:
"Februnry 18 was the beginning of a
dpfenslvo fight by a people threatened
with starvation. A people which must
fight for its cxlstenco must and will push
aside all consideration ns to third parties'
attitude toward us. All considerations
have already been pushed aside. Tho
fight wo nre entering must be fought with
all recklessness or not at all, Deeply
rooted In our people Is a humble con
viction that victory lies In God's hands.
Dllllcult will be the fight, perhaps, and
long also, for tho enemy will not shrink
from any means In order to frustrate
our efforts. There Is no Intention on tho
part of the German Government to wngo
a commercial war against nrmtr.il htr.

must expect to perish therein."
"Wo have not had the same considera

"No. But when Germany did tho samo

Have Full Indorsement
of British Government.
LONDON, Feb, 19.
Japan has demanded of the Chinese
Government that complete political ton
trcl bo given her In Chlnni This was
learned from a leading member Of the
diplomatic corps today. Ho declared that
Japan's action has tho complete Indorse
ment of the British nnd asserted that
Japan Intends to make China a pro
tectorate, In which the Japanese will
have supremo control, commercially as
well at politically,
Among the demands recently mado by
Japan upon China, ho said, was the fol
lowing: "Tho General Government of China shall
nmnlov Influential Jntmncto subjects as
advisers for conducting administrative,
financial and military affairs."
It Is understood that this demand was
not Included among those which Japan
announced she had served on China. The
diplomat who gavo this Information said
that tho granting of this fllhgle demand
would make Japan dominant in unina.
He also asserted that If China rejected
the "concessions" demanded by Japan',
tho latter country would proceed to take
forcibly what It demands.
The revolution oMhe real Chlna-Japa-neso
situation Is of the utmost Impor
tance to tho United States. It will ho re
called that four Powers participated In
the formation of a syndicate to finance
China. They wero England, France, Ger
many nnd Austria.
The United States was to havo been
a partner In this syndicate through a
banking syndicate, but tho termination
of so-called "dollar diplomacy" caused a
withdrawal of tho official American Inter
ests, but, nevertheless, largo funds wore
actually subscribed by Amorlcan financial
concerns acting through English bankers.
J. P. Morgan & Co. and ICuhn, Loob &
Co. sub"cril)cd. It Is understood, JM.000,000,
of which $16,000,000 was designed for tho

The Chinese Foreign Office announced
today that negotiations with Japan over
the appointment of a Japanese military
adviser are proceeding In a satisfactory
manner. Details of negotiations, however,
are being kept secret.
It Is learned that tho Japanese confis
cated $6,000,000 nt Tslng-Tao when that
place was captured from tho Germans. It
Is chargod by the Japanese that the Ger
mun Government property had been
fraudulently transferred to civilians and
70 such pieces of property were taken
ovor by tho Japancso War Office.
WASHINGTON. Feb. ID.
Until the demands mnde by Japan upon
China aro fully digested by Stato Depart
ment officials no representations will bo
mada by the United States by either na
tion. Tho course of tho United States
has not yet been decided upon, it was
stated today.
The chief fact In the situation. It Is be
lieved, Is thnt Japan Intends to take a
dominant place In all matters relating to
oriental pontics and intends to compo
tho United States, as well as all Euro
pean nations, to recognize thlB.
Anxious over suggestions of n, Japaneso
threat against China's Integrity, tho
Standard Oil Company, with vnst Chinese
Interests, sought through the Stato De
partment today for Information concern
ing possible danger. Tho company was
told the Department was thus far pos
sessed of none to Justify alarm.

BERLIN, Feb. 16.-Paraoraphs in

which aim to Justify tho war zone

and reiterate Its firm stand on the

"Until now Germany has scrupu

rules regarding naval warfare.
"The German Government feels
Itself obliged to point out with the
greatest emphasis that a traffic In
arms, estimated at many hundreds
of millions, Is being carried on be
tween American firms and Ger
many's enemies. They (the neu
trals) have the perfect tight, which
they unfortunately do not exorcise,
to cease contraband trade, especially
In arms, with Germany's enemies.
'"Germany trusts that the neutrals
who have so far submitted to the
Isadvantagcous conseQUcnccs of
Great Britain's hunger war In si
lence, or merely In registering a pro
test, wtll display toward Germany
no smaller measure of toleration,
even If German measures, like those
