has been asked a thousand times. If
the chancellories of England, France
and Russia knew the answer, one Of
the biggest problems of the military
strategists would be deyolved. Opin-
ions on this mooted point vastly diff
fer. II is true that Germany has been
dependent to a large extent on over
sea food supplies, but the recent as
sertion of a writer on economic sub
jects that one-third of Germans food
stuffs is imported, is called a gross
exaggeratiOn. Germany does import
something over five per cent. of her
meat. She also requires about 1,000,-
600 tons OF wheat from abroad. Her
1 imports of grain are much larger in
times of peace. However. her heavy
exports of rye to Russia have ceased
This grain remains In the Fatherland
One awkward question is that oi
fodder. The vast amount of fodder
that Germany needs and uses in times
of peace comes from Russia. The sup.
ply from the Cars domains stopped
before the German straw crow was
available. This means that a large
proportion of the young cattle musi
be slaughtered out of hand-an alarm
ing protortion, in fact, according tC
some.

elephant AND LION
FIGHT With Circus

Among the wild animals brought
from Africa by the Robinson expedi-
ton was full-grown, forest-bred lion,
of enormous size and strength. He was
confined in an ordinary lion cage at the
winter home of RobiDsons Famous
Shows. The cages OF the various spe-
cies were arranged around the sides OF
the animal house, while in the center
were eorralled the elephants.
tn lion soon proved that he was too
powerful for any ordinary cage, as
strongly as they are built. He bent
the iron bars aside and leaped onto the
back of old Ding one of the largest
elephants in the Robinson herd. With
a roar like thunder he sank his teeth
into the tough hide of the elephant, pull
ing and jerking viciously. Taken en-
tirely by surprise, "Ding" trumpeted
wildly and endeavored TO break his
chains. Failing in this he. turned his
attention to the lion. Winding his
powerful trunk around the lions body,
he pulled him loose from his hold, slam
med him on the ground and attempted
to tusk him. But the lion grabbed into
the elephants throat and fastened his
fangs deep into the flesh.
"Ding" thrashed and roared, and all
the other animals joined in the unearth-
ly chorus and pandemonium ruled
For a moment the keepers were un-
neryed at the fearful spectacle, but not
for long. Procuring a chain, they made
a slip moose at one end and attached the
other end to a rope and fall that hung
from aloft At the risk of their lives
they placed the chain around the lions
body, back of the fore arms. Hosting
away, they soon had the fierce king of
beasts swinging high in the air, snarling,
twisting, biting at the chain, making a
sight that made the blood run cold
The keepers then swung him to the door
of another den, pushed him inside and
confined him securely
This big lion. ''Rulfo," is now one of
the most perfect specimens with the
Robnson's Famous Shows, and will be
on exhibition here on Thursday, Sep
