UKRAINE LARDER
SETBACK FOR GERMANS
LONDON, July 9. Evidence trickling in from the Ukraine, says "The Times," indicates that German planning has received a major setback in that foodstuffs from the Ukraine are falling far short of expectations, and some satellite divisions in the Balkans have been, demobilised and are returning home to develop agriculture.
Germany originally hoped to feed the Balkans, as well as part of Germany, from the Ukraine. Tractors intended for the Ukraine were not delivered because the railways were overloaded. The Germans recently dispatched to the Ukraine numbers of sickles and other small tools.
The Ukrainians are still hiding much produce from the Germans, while guerrillas are destroying many trains taking food to Germany or to the Russian front. German boasts of speedy recovery in the coal and iron fields and also in the factories have not-been fulfilled. The Ukraine is merely helping Germany and not saving her.
