U. S. AMBASSADOR WARNS AGAINST OVER-OPTIMISM Germany is Not Yet Starving and Man Power is Not Yet Depleted, He States. CHICAOO, Oct. 17. A warning of the danger of taking too optimistic a view regarding Germany's supposed weakness was sounded today by Ira Nelson Morris. United States minister to Sweden, In a speech before the Chicago Chamber of Commerce. "Our legation at Stockholm Is only about six hours from Germany nnd therefore we have means of knowing conditions as they exist, economically and otherwise, in various parts of Germany," he said. "The Germans, for Instance, are receiving great quantities of oil from Poland, Galicia and Roumanta. They had more oil In Germany when I left them they knew what to do with. They sold large Quantities to Sweden and to many other countries. The Ukraine, although thoroughly disorganized, has never failed to send regular shipments of grain to Germany. "Germany has been accustomed to buying her meat in the form of cattle from Sweden. Often she bought 6,000 head of cattle in a week. Then she stopped these purchases in Sweden and bought elsewhere. The reason she gave was that the cattle of Denmark, where she then bought, were fatter and In better condition. Scouts Starvation Tales. "I ask you, if the Germans were starving, why shouldn't they buy all the meat they could get? I think that shows the economic situation better than anything else. "In Russia, when I left, there were still 150,000 German prisoners, who had been in Siberia for a long time. They were 'gradually sneaking out and joining the lines. There were

more Austrian prisoners, who numbered nearly 2,000.000. The care of the German and Austrian prisoners was In the hands of the Swedish government. Therefore, I have reason to know these figures are correct. I mention this because one often reads that the fighting power, the man-power of Germany, Is depleted. If that were true, how is it that Cermany can send between 60,000 and 100,000 men into Finland merely to watch the frontiers In the Russian situation?"

Yankees Find Much of Interest on Trip Across; Writes Tomlinson

His experience on board a transport enroute to France are related by Robert Tomlinson In a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Tomlinson. 514 South Eleventh street. The letter follows: Tuesday, on board ship "Well, here I am, about 600 miles out In the ocean, and feeling fine, never better. "We left port (where I am not allowed to say) at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, passing many larger beats in the harbor, but none as large as the one we are on. " "It certainly was a sight for us that had never taken a trip like this before, and I think about 99 per cent of the whole bunch never have. "We line up for our meals Just as we did In camp with our mess kits, but the food is prepared by the ship's crew instead of the army cook. "Last night In the mess hall we were supposed to have a picture show, but they couldn't get the machine to work and the evening was spent In singing and believe me they sure did sing. "We have our lire drills every day, and it is so arranged that they get the entire bunch on the upper deck In a very short time. And after they are up there,-I don't know where they put them all because there certainly is a mob of us. We wear our life belts every minute of the day, even eat with them on. At night we take them off and use them as a pillow. Life Belt Always With You. "I am sitting on one of the upper decks writing this and an officer just came by and made me put my life belt on. I had slipped it off and was leaning against it. This belt here Is the same as a gas mask over there, It is your protection and with you all the time. "Pete Llchtenfels' bunk is on the same deck as mine, but we don't eat together, as everyone must eat at the same table every meal. "The ocean has been very quiet so far, that is quiet for the ocean, but at

A SUCCESSFUL REMEDY

All things succeed which really deserve to, which fill a real need, which prove their worth. The fact that the famous old root and herb remedy, Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, has for three generatons been relieving women of this country from the worst forms of female ills and has won such a strong place in our American homes proves its merit beyond the question of a doubt. It will well pay any woman who Is in need of such a medicine to try it. Adv.

that the waves ' are the largest I've eve? Been. "Some of the boys had their first taste of seasickness this morning. I haven't been affected yet. but I expect to get mine just the same as all the rest when the sea begins to get rough. "Pete Is eating his supper now and after he gets through he Is coming up here and we will probably go to the picture show they didn't have - last night This Is furnished by the "Y." No matter where you go you will always find the "Y." They have a large room on board ship , here but it Is in the front part of the ship and it seems to roll about more than the rear end, and for that reason I spend most of my time in the rear. "So much for the first day out "Wednesday Tonight Is much different. The sea Is rough and there is a heavy fog outside. "I have been working in the hospital today and I have enjoyed the experience. Of course out of a bunch like this there must be some sickness and they must be taken care of. Only the bad cases of seasickness are brought in because they will get over that. "Haven't seen Pete at all today, but I guess he is still here, as there Isn't much chance of leaving this boat. "Thursday Tonisht finds us still further out on the broad ocean. As near as I can figure out we are about 1,600 miles out. "Over Here" Now. "Certainly is a new experience for me to travel for days and never see a bit of land. Nothing but water and lots of It

"This evening about 5 o'clock we

"Still on duty to the hospital. Haven't been the . least seasick and don't expect to now. Am getting need to the rocking of the boat "Friday We are so far away now that instead of saying "over there" now It is over here. The biggest part of this trip is over and I'll be 'glad when It is over- I'm beginning to get tired of this ship. "When I first got on this boat I thought it wonderful and would never get through looking, but already I can walk the whole length of the deck and never glance out at all? Plenty of water, but It Is sure bum for taking baths and washing clothes. Too much salt" - Saturday Tonight we are In the danger sone. The ' boat is going at pretty good speed under cover of darkness. "It has been very cold today with sprinkling of rain and cold wind blowing. And believe me the ocean is rough. The waves look like regular walls of water. Tonight everyone must sleep with their clothes on and their life belts beside them In case anything happens, which I sincerely hope will not. "Of course when you get this letter it will all be over and we will have landed. But at the present time it is not over as we still have the most dangerous part to go through. "Sunday nocn We must be getting near someplact now so I will drop this In the mall. I suppose by this time you have received the card that 1 have arrived safely, so don't worry."
