SHEPHERD United Press Staff Correspondent) ROTTERDAM, HOLLAND, May 25. (By Mall) Babies seven months to a year old are eating carrots apples and spinach in Germany.

Other folks beside babies are having food troubles. These food stories we'll tell about them all. If you watch the consulates here and keep your eyes on the Incoming trains you can meet, every day, a scant few persons who have just came from Germany and who will gladly tell you what experiences they have had in their kitchens, dining rooms and stom achs since the food stringency in Ger many became noticeable. These travelers feel themselves he roes, as Indeed, you come to regard them, in a manner of speaking, when you see them abandon themselves to a full, man's sized meal here. Travelers to Berlin, especially the American writing kind, live at the best hotels.

They return with stories of plentiful and excellent food. Berlin is the wartime show place of Germany and the hotels where writers go are the wartime show places of Berlin. What the American writ ers have said of the plentifulness and tfte excellence of the food, is not net essarily true. Here is Rotterdam you get the truth, straight from the dining rooms and kitchens of civilians in every part of Germany; It indicates, that life in Germany is uncomfortable, highly so, for a civilian who is keeping house. Here a Swedish mechanic from Germany, running around Rotterdam filling his arms with packages of ba con, bottles of olive oil and rice.

Pei-haps the Hollanders will refuse him permission to take these things across the border but, "I'm going to make a try of he says. Here's a pretty American girl din ing alone -in a Rotterdam restaurant. She's studying music in Berlin. "I've just run over to Holland to spend week eating she says. Here's a Spanish woman with three little children.

"I brought the baby down to get him some milk. He is tir ed of carrots, spinach and apples. No wonder: he is only seven months." And here are Germans rich, elder ly, retired Germans who haunt the doorways of the hoted restaurants, aiting for the American plan dinner bell to ring and who seem to be always eating even at the hated English tea. hour. They are here a week.

Then they go back Germany. Germsny. civil'nn Germany is hun gry. rot hungry for victuals, because victuals are anything a human being can eat and digest, but for decent food like meat and wheat and milk and animal and vegetable fats. How ana why tiny, toothless Ger man babies eat apples, carrots, spinach and oatmeal, instead of gurgling milk, will be the subject of Shephard's next German food story.

THERE SPEAKS THE SOUL OF FRANCE" (BY ED. L. KEEN United Press Staff Correspondent) LONDON, June 10 (By Main- There speaks the soul of said Franklin Bouillon, the distinguished French Deputy, at the American uncheon Club in London, after reari ng this touching letter written by French soldier, George Belaud, a cook, to his wife.

The campaign made by the Progres slves four years ago was a protest, more than anything else, against the unfair and dishonest way the Repub llcan nominating convention was held.

It was a fight against an organization of machine bosses which thwarted the will of the people. We were vindicat ed at the polls on election day. Withdrawing from the party for the time being, absolutely, took the Progressives out of the operation of the party machinery in the preliminary campaign that culminated in the recent Republican convention at Chciago, so that they had not the force nor the right in that convention, to select the nominee of their choice. The cards were stacked against Roosevelt, a condition that was not in the least surprising, since hte friends most of them, anyway were running a show under a separate canvas. The Republican convention was "regular'Mt was of the old-fashioned sort handpicked by the bosses, but "regular" just the same.

Frogressives, this year, have no ground for complaint on the regul arity, then, of the Republican conven tion of 1916. True, we had nothing to say in the running of it it was our own fault neither have we had anything to say in running Mr. Wilson's convention, We have no candidate of our own, therefore must choose as between Mr. Hughes and Mr, Wilson. No Progressive can be honest with himself and coinsistent with his contentions of the past, if ha should now insist on the Progressive National Committee substituting another candidate in place of Roosevelt, or even inducing UT4 Roosevelt to accept the nomination he haa once refused.

We claim, all of us, that we have no per sonal political ambition in the part we have taken in the organization and former campaigns of the Progressive party. We have assumed to have higher motives than that, and we are firm in the belief that the great majority of the Progressives have the most patriotic motives in their political ac tivities. 'We have Hughes as a candi date because of these activities, and in spite of the handpicked Republican convention. Hughes is not the crea ture of the political bosses. He repre sents the ideas that the Progressives claim they have been striving for.How can they consistently, under the present circumstances, go forward with a party organization whose sole and only result can be the defeat of Mr.

Hughes? No man can go farther in his loyalty to Mr. Roosevelt, personally, or to the ideas he stands for, but we shall not go so far as that. Mr. Roosevelt can run if he wants to, or some other Bull Mooser may take his place if his tentative refusal becomes permanent, but we are going to support Mr. Hughes, the Republican nominee, who fully meets the requirements set down by Mr, Roosevelt before the conventions were held, and who has a chance of election and putting his ideas of government in practice.

Fearing that it would be construed as an act of war, the War Department has decided to withdraw its request to Congress for the passage of a resolution authorizing the President to use the national guard in Mexico until later. ENOUGH AMMUNITION ON HAND Washington, June 21. Ammunition and ordinance in sufficient supply for an army operating in Mexico are in band, according to a statement today by Gen.

William Crozier, chief of ordnance. "The administration', said General Crozier, "need have no fear that any policy which it might determine upon with reBpect to Mexico will be inter fered with by lack of ammunition or equipment. While there are instances where things will be asked for that are not on hand, all the essentials are now available. "The most important ammunition which would be required in any campaign in Mexico would be for small arms, rifles and revolvers. We have plenty of this on hand for the present needs.

While we are not as well equipped regarding artillery ammunition, we have plenty on hand for any thing that may develop in the Mexican situation."

Governor Capper today filed his nomination papers with the secretary of state and announced that he is a candidate for a second term. He will have no opposition for the Republican nomination. In a state merrt given to the newspapers, Gov ernor Capper said: 'Naturally. I should like to feel the people had enough faith in me to vote me a second term. I do not ask any one to support me because it has been the custom to give a public official two terms.

Doubtless I have made mis takes, but they have been honest mlS' takes, and 1 believe my seventeen months of experience has greatly in creased my official usefulness.

Many of them twice. I have suggested or made change at every one. I have also had searching investigations made into their condition and management by experts and by impartial citizens.

We have discovered that in the course of years some of these institutions have fallen behind, judged by new and rising standards, and must as quickly as possible be brought to a condition of efficiency, surpassing any previous sUge of their history. This can be done extravagantly or sensibly. We propose to do it well but sensibly. As far as possible we are meeting needs, sorrecting evils, eliminating waste.
