ALLIES DUB GERMANS
CHOCOLATE SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.l

LONDON, Jan. 2O,-"We call the
Germans the Chocolate Soldiers"
writes a soldier from the front, be
cause they appear to be always eating
chocolate. When they attack or are
attacked, when they are wounded or
sick; by night and day, it's all the
same. We have found some Of their
dead with cakes of chocolate between
their fingers.
During one of our Christmas ar
mistices, one of the German soldiers
told me that the chocolate ration had
been recommended by scientists as a
convenient and exceedingly nutritious
food, and had sustained them very well
in some of their long marches where
other foods were not available"

KAISER TO CONTROL
SALE OF GRAIN
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 20-For the con-
servation and efficient distribution of
the corn supply in Germany the gov
eminent has decided to form a stock
company with a large capital which
will acquire all the available corn and
store it until May, before which time
it is said, no sales can take place.
The stockholders are principally
large capitalists and towns with a
population of 100000 or more. Ac-
cording to the Frankfurter Zeitung,
the directors will be representatives
of the state and industrial leaders. The
company has the right to condemn and
purchase at a fair price, any supplies
of corn in Prussia. The stock is to
pay dividends limited to FIVE per cent,
and any profits remaining beyond this
percentage are to go to charity.
The motive for this move of the
Prussian government is stated as the
fear that, Notwithstanding the ample
ness of the harvest, there may be a
critical period before the garnering Of
the harvest of 1915. In this connec-
ton the Vossiche Zeitung comments:
"In the agricultural journals there
are reports from many parts Of the
empire that the harvest will fall be-
low the first brilliant expectations. We
know that in Alsace and East Prussia
a great part of the harvest has been
destroyed. We know that every year
we imported from abroad several mill
lion tons Of provender, and that these
importations have now ceased. We
are thus faced with increased danger
of the employment of grain as proven
der. The peasant does not easily I'M
derstand why he should let his cattle
starye that the people in the towns
may have bread.
ut is evident that only great econ
omy can prevent us from being con-
fronted with serious scarcity in the last
months of the harvest year
There is reason to fear that we
have not justified the confidence OF
the government that the patriotism of
the people would suffice to induce them
to practice frugality without the pres
sure Of increasing prices. Exhorta-
tons to frugality in school and church
and by means of handbills have not had
remarkable success"

SCHOOL TEACHER
SACRIFICES LIFE
To SAVE COMRADS
OFFERS SELF AS SACRIFICE TO
SAVE PROMINENT CITIZEN OF
TOWN.
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Jan. 20 - The story has
reached Paris Of how school teacher
sacrificed himself to save the mayor,
cure and a number of citizens Of his
village in the Aisne, a few miles from
the Belgian frontier.
After the battle of Charleroi, the
Germans captured the village Of
D. without firing a shot, and q
company of the Prussian Guards made
it their headquarters for two days. To
ward the end of the second day while
the Germans were preparing to leave
the village, a shot rang out from no
one knows where. The German Off
Ger in commend FASTENED at once to
the mayor. A dozen hostages were re-
quired upon the spot, to be shot before
nightfall, if the guilty man was not
denounced or did not give himself up.
No one had been hit by the shot but
the officer declared that he had heard
the bullet whistle close to his mead
VERY WE'LL" said the Mayor, you
want hostages. Here am to begin
with"
and I, also" declared the cure.
Three of the older inhabitants OF tae
village came forward, which made five.
Then the Germans took seven more
inhabitants into an open field near the
church. The fling squad was ready,
and the hostages lined up against a
wall, when the school teacher, NJ. Mi
chon, ran UP.

Several of the villagers present had
seen Michon leave his school house
with his pupils at the exact moment
when the shot was fred. But he per-
sisted in his declaration and at Z
o'clock in the evening he was shot.
