GERMAN PLANS FAIL
SUPPLIES FROM UKRAINE PROBLEMS OF TRANSPORT (9 a.m.) LONDON, July 9. Evidence trickling in from the Ukraine indicates that German planning received a major setback. 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, says Ttie Times. 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 despatched to the Ukrains 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 (he Russian front. German boasts of a speedy recovery in coal and ironfields and also factories are not fulfilled. The Ukraine is merely helping Germany, not saving her.
