As for the economic situation. it would be absurd to say that Oermaiu are starving;, aa It Is really still possible to get practically every article of food here. Neighboring neutral countries have been supplying Germany with all the foodstuffs food-stuffs needed, hut the prices have gone up at an alarming rate and It la becoming becom-ing evident that the moment is drawing-nearer drawing-nearer when the neutrals will have nothing more to sell. Tee 1-elpalger Keueie Nachrlchten writes of the economic situation: "Unfortunately "Un-fortunately there la no prospect whatever that the prices of bread and other ar-1 ar-1 1 clea of food w I) go d ow n . even t e m -porarlly. though the German harvest has len good.

" Part of the German press also tsket a very gloomy view of the military situation, situa-tion, particularly as to Russia. Thus the Meuchener Neuste Nachrlchten Nachrlch-ten writes: "The object of the Oerman army should bo to destroy the Russian armies, rather than capture fortresses. The Russian armies continue to carry out a retreat that was planned by a master mind and splendidly carried out. Only In the open field may we hope to win a victory that will seal the fate of the Russian armies. "The capture of fortresses Is all very well, but If we do nothing but that, the Russian army leaders will have every' reason to feel exultant. The great question ques-tion Is, when shall we succeed In annihilating anni-hilating the Russian army. To be or not to be If the question which todaj faces the German as well as the Russian armies. ar-mies. "
