The practical prohibition of the i'm
portation of American and other meats
into Germany has already caused an
advance of 80 per cent. in prices, and a
meat famine is imminent. German
farmers cannot produce the meat the
people of Germany consume, but they
seem determined to make the attempt.
1t is a strange coincidence that the
only town of Importance in the United
States named after Prince Bismarck
should have been almost annihilated
by fire few days after his death. OF
course, it is purely coincidental, but in
other ages il would have been regarded
in very different light.
