are able to send their goods without fear
OF injury by seeing to II that they are well

In one year nearly sl0.O0o0O0 worth of
paper bags has been used in grocery

everything else that the kaiser and

enfant terrible, it plays hob among
topics that should never be spoken
of at the international dinner table.
Germany is profoundly shocked

think of way to make the air ship
mind its own business.
