German Howl For c ood Wholly Without Reason By ,-fssceiated Press American Army rf Occupation, Jan. 4.— According to estimates made by intelligence officers of the Ameri can Third Army, after an investiga tion. it appears that in the area oc cupied by the American troops the cities and towns have enough of most foods to last during the winter, and the country district have enough to carry them through the spring. The most critical shortage is in fats and milk. Sugar stocks have been am ple until recently, but fresh sup plies are not in sight and the stock on hand will be exhausted in about six weeks. The country districts are much better supplied with food, and a por tion of thi surplus finds its way to the wealthy classes in the cities by means of ill.cit trading.

The submarine chaser, her deck brown with prone and sitting figures in khaki, shot away from the big vessel's lee in a flood of sun light. Motorboats followed in the chaser's wake, wallowing through the seas toward the hospital ship Solace, which had edged shoreward to within less than n mile of the Northern % Pacific. Observers on shore, watching through glasses, saw the helpless soldiers raised aboard the hospital ship through her ports. The Solace was rolling heavily, but the Navy men worked skilfully and the rescues were effected without ac cident. When two big wrecking tugs, aft er an hour's work, failed to stir the troopship.
