VICTORY BY SUBMARINE
(By "Neutral" in London Tunes)
Cologne, Jan. 12
The problem that is °worrying the
ea German Administration. at the present
time is—How can Germany eaist un-
til the next harvest? 'Everybody is
now mounting on the early vegetables
and it must be remembered in regard
to this that it is only of recent years
a that the Germans generally took to
their heavy meat diet. In my juilg
ment, of which you have hitherto ap-
proved, the whole question of the abil-
ity of Germany "to hold out" -to use
the expression which is still in every
German mouth—is the question wheth-
er the Germans can live on these vege-
tables, together With supplies of meat
game, fresh -water fish, and imported
fish as will be !available until the end
of August.

ime and his hundr ds of advisers and as-
sistants in various parts of Germany
know very well that there are no re-
serves of food in the country. But
theie people are so, incapable of un-
derstanding the minds of other nations
that they really believe that, because
they have menioned the word "peace"
to the Allies and to the neutrals, peace
there Will be. As you know, the fool-
ish optimism of the Germans received
a tremenduous shock when England a-
dopted conscription. But optimism
has revie-ed from time to tune, and
the Mere making of the German peace
offer led to careless administration of
the food supplies. We have had fur-
ther alterations of slight improvement
and then sudden deterioration of our
food; by "our"- I mean, Of course, the
food. of the masses of the people, not
the food of those among whom I
move
The exasperation produced by the
duration of the war and the increased
absence of nutritious food has now
produced much more original and in-
dependent thinking, and talking that

ginning of the war. The easily led

an eaatirely distorted view. But neer-

people here and there say good things
of Count Zeppelin but they are not

There is, however, one great reason,
of which you are probably not yet a-

ally believe in the hope of peace—a
bright hope and, an increasing hepe.

As I told you, the area of fighting
on the Somme and before Verdun is
known as "The Grave." The whole
line from Alsace to Ypres is really a

As the winter advances and spring
