German Emperor
Protects Property
Of French Officers

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
BERLIN. Nav Is - The Tageliche
Rundschau publishes an article telling
how the emperor generously responded
to an appeal from French family whose
home was in the French city where the
Imperial headquarters now are. This
family. that of French lieutenant, fled
from the city when it was occupied by
the Germans. Before leaving they
packed carefully the things they could
not take along. mostly clothing. and left
part OF 1t I'm their own house and part In
the house of q neighbor, where the en-
peror now lives. The lieutenant was later
wounded and desired to go to the south
of France for convalescence. but he and
his family needed many OF the articles
left behind
Friends of the officers parents who live
In Luxembourg, advised a direct appeal
TO the emperor. They scoffed at the idea,
declaring that the ruler had other things
TO do than concern himself with the
clothing OF French officers. The friends
Insisted, however. and a careful list of
the things desired was made out and
sent with an appeal to the emperor,
through his headquarters chief, General
Won Plessen. Three days later a high
officer appeared at the home of the Off
GERS parents in n headquarters automo-
bile and delivered, at the emperor's
command every article on the list sub
mitted.

Berlin to Cut in on
h. G. L. by Helping
ALI to Make Gardens

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
berlin, May 15.-The gardening sea-
son has been marked BY unusual scenes
In the outskirts OF Berlin Everywhere
on unoocupied lots people have spaded
Up the earth. The lots have been divided
up into smaller parcels. and the latter
turned over free to families willing to
cultivate them. Berlin and several OF
the adjacent municipalities have helped
by making appropriations OF money, and
Berlin has also contributed some l5.00O
loads OF manure from the city stock
yards Thus Greater Berlin hopes to
contribute considerably toward solving
its own food problem. and what Is going
on at Berlin Is being repeated In every
town OF Germany. In this way Il is ex-
pected that the potato crop OF 1915 viii
be the largest ever grown in Germany,
and that the supply Of other vegetables
win also be greatly Increased.
Al present all food products continue
to advance IN price. Even the common
est vegetables are from two TO three
fold higher than they were before the
war began. Coffee and tea. though they
cannot now be imported into Germany
at ali, have risen considerably less than
vegetables Among meats. pork. the
staple meat OF the working classes. has
risen most markedly.

Dutch Would Keep
Their Cash at Home

Correspondence OF .the Associated Press.)
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May Ia
Attention is being given in business cir
cles in Holland TO the question OF the
possibility OF creating new industries in
this country and by this means rendering
the Netherlands more independent OF
other countries In the event in the flu
ture OF q similar crisis arising to that
brought about by the present European
war. Numbers OF Industrial men have
taken the subject under consideration, but
nothing definite has yet been proposed.
The Dutch people in most INSTANCES are
unaware OF the possibilities in &c way
OF investment in their own country and
generally place their capital abroad in
stead OF uniting in an effort to keep their
money at home, where with proper Or
ganization the returns would he just
as high as those they receive from for
eign investments. while the starting OF
home Industries would be useful In pro
yidinS work for their fellow countrymen
who are sorely hit by a crisis as that
now prevailing.
Owing to Hollands dependence on ma
terials from outside. several Of the ma
tional industries have for the time being
been ruined and those employed In them
have been thrown out of work For m
stance. the sugar factories and refineries,
of which there are thirty in Holland, had
been badly affected, In the first place
by the prohibition of the export Of sugar
beet from Germany. Austria Hungary
and Belgium and in the second place by
the refusal Of England to permit imports
of sugar from Holland owing to fears
that German sugar might come Into the
British Isles In that way.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.)
BERLIN, May ia great scarcity OF
petroleum prevails in Berlin. According
to some reports it cannot be bought in
shops at all. Notwithstanding the
scarcity however. the price has been held
uniformly at q pfennigs per ntre since
the war began, but there is now a move
ment on foot 10 raise It to 30 pfennigs.
