Shall the German People Starve? Officials in Germany anxiously assert that Great Britain’s embargo operations will force starvation upon non-combatants in Germany. To the world at large this contingency presents itself unexpectedly, because German authoritie’’ have heretofore denied the possibility of such an extremity. Can Great Britain Be Isolated? In retaliation for Britain’s course in preventing importations of food from neutral nations into Germany, that country threatens to draw a cordon of submarines and mines around the British Isles and shut them off effectually from the outside world, declaring that starvation is a game which two can play. • \ \ Starvation has played an important part in the past in ending wars. How powerful an influence will it have in hastening peace now? THE LITERARY DIGEST for February 27 th, on sale at all news-dealers to-day, contains the most com- \ plete and reliable information on this critical situation and mirrors every phase of public opinion respecting It. \ With thrilling developments confronting the American people, now, more than ever before, it is necessary to have THE LITERARY DIGEST in your home, because it gives with absolute impartiality, all the details of every phase of the war news.
