The tacit admission of the Ber
lin government that a seriom
food shortage exists within the
borders of the German empire
will probably be considered an
indication that that remarkable
self sufficient nation is at last,
drawing close to the end of its
resources. It is not believed,,
however, that such is the case
Germany may be a little short in
the matter of food supplies at
present but if one considers the
terrific strain to which the nation
has been subjected during the
war interval it would seem most:
remarkable if no shortage had
occurred.
With the bulk of the produc
tive units of the empire engaged
in other pursuits than those
which tend to the national sus
tenance it would be nothing short
of marvelous if shortages did not
occur.
However willing may be the
non combatant portion oT the
populace it is manifestly impos
sible for them to produce such
quantities of the essential ele
ments of subsistence as were pro
duced during times of peace when
the major portion of the people
were devoting themselves to pro
ductive occupations.
Under normal conditions Ger
many produced enough to sup
port approximately two thirds of
its population, and, while there
has doubtless been some decrease
in this percentage, it is very prob'
able that the decrease is in no
degree serious. ' »
Assuming that two thirds of the
population were living in fullness
and plenty on the products of the
soil under normal conditions, it
iis probable that under war con
ditions when all possible waste is'
eliminated and conservation is1
rightly practiced, the same quan
tity of comestibles would suffice;
for a far greater number of peo
ple. Hence, it is not unreasona-'
ble to infer that if Germany is
at present producing enough to
support sixty per cent of her pop
ulation under normal conditions,
which is by no means improba
ble, by the practice of rigid econ
omy the same amount of food
stuffs may be made to go suffi
ciently far as to provide the ne
cessities of existence for the
greater portion of the remaining
forty' per cent. It is proverbial
that humanity consumes about
one third more than is necessary
to healthy existence so it is eas
ily understood that that under
extreme conditions the bulk of
Germany’s population could exist
on the same amount pf foocUcom
modities as were normally con
sumed by two" thirds of the pop
ulation. Germany is undoubtedly
on short rations but it is hardly
probable that such food shortage
as exists is sufficient to cause a
great deal of alarm
vVATER BEDS FOR WOUND
ED ARE GREAT SUCCESS
An entirely new and satisfac
tory use of water in the treatment
of shell-torn victims from the
.ront has been discovered recent
ly at the famous open air mili
tary hospital located at Cam
bridge, England, where a ward in
which patients sleep*on inflated
rubber mattresses half , submerg
ed in tubs filled with warm water
is novy installed.
It was found that many of the
patients arriving at the hospital
.iad such terrible w'ounds that!
they were unable to bear the
pain, and as the constant admin
stration of opiates retarded their
progress, it was decided by Col*
>nel Griffiths to provide a bath
vhere the bad cases could spend
heir entire time in the water.
The water, which is kept flowing
hrough the tub, is maintained
t a temperature of ioo degrees.
>y a system of slings the patient
cs on a rubber mattress with his
•ntire body under water, only his
i lead showing above the level of
he bath. The casual observer
>3ssing through the ward would
lever know the patients were in
i tub
The head is in sight occupying
an ordinary pillow and the figure
seems to be covered by the con
ventional bundled blanket. How
even, when the flap is opened the
body is seen to be submerged in
water, but lying on a rubbr mat
tress, which is pronounced abso
lutely comfortable by the patients.
One patient whose thigh had
been ripped away by a shell has
been in a tub continuously for six
weeks. Before he wa9 placed in
the tub he said he feared that he
was going insane from the pain,
| mt during Tiis sojourn <n the
water he had not felt anything
worse than the usual discomfort
from long confinement in bed.—
