TO-, there are no indications. for many

machines TO Germany have not been

based on confirmed facts only. II more
than bears out the estimate Of the Ger

after visit to the German front, told
the Muenchner Neueste Naohriohten that
tho war booty sent from. northern France
to Germany In the form OF cereals. sugar
metals. wool. leather etc. amounted to
$500. 10000 during the first six months OF
the war. Ii is supposed that his fig
ures were based on the reauisition price
said 90 be very inferior TO tho market
value. On the latter basis the actual
total would DO far in excess OF the Ger
man figures: the estimate for the tex
tile industries alone would so indicate.

exception OF those at Avmenueres. where
they were driven baeS too sooE, and
at Lille, where they have recently be-
gun to reduisition these products.
The territory occupied By the Germans
