SACRED MOUNT
CENTER OF WAR
(By Associated Press.)

JERUSALEM, June 19.-Mount Car
mel, whose lower slopes have already
been under French shell fire, is heav
lily entrenched by the Turks, although
the mountain is sacred alike to Chris
tians and Moslem. On the lower slopes
is situated the town of Haifa. The
German consulate in the town was
bombarded by the French in retalia-
ton for the Germans dessecrating the
graves of the soldiers of Napoleon.
Carmel is hill or rather group OF
hills, bounded on two sides by the
Mediterranean and overlooking the
plan of Kshon. Above the town stands
the famous CarmeIte monastery. On
the summit of the Mount, the German
colony of Haifa, which came there
sixty years ago to await the second
coming of Christ has erected mon
ument to commemorate the visit of
the Kaiser.
Haifa is an important point, as it is
the terminus of a branch of railway
tapping the Hedjaz line, which
crosses the desert regions between
Damascus and Medina This railway,
spanning the Jordan river is used by
the Turks to transport Arab troops.

Dutch Go Hungry
For Lack of Bread

the increased cost of their prime nee
essity, the government recently asked
the municipalities all over the nation
| to ask bakers in their various dis
tricts to indicate whether they were
willing to make and sell while wheat
bread at approximately 1-2 cents
(American) a pound, instead of near
ly cents, the usual store price at this
moment. Large numbers of bakers
agreed to do so under the impulse of
a proposal by the government to
supply them with whole uncrushed
wheat through the municipalities at
price averaging fiorins ($960) per
100 Kilograms, or about 220 American
pounds. The price varies considerab
ly in different places, according to
the cost of labor and fuel. In Vlaard-
ingen, for instance, it is only forms
$3.50, while in Rosermond it is
13 forms so cents ($5.40) The con-
dition attached is that the bakers
furnish pure whole wheat bread, to
which may be added only yeast, salt
and water. From every 100 kilo-
grams of bread, which they sell for
fl. 1880 ($672).
The bread is sold at the low price
of two cents and a half American q
pound to families which apply to the
local authorities for bread cards. No
restrictions are placed ON the amount
of money earned by family which
desires a bread card but only one
pound of bread is furnished daily for
each person over two years old be
longing to the family
The extent of the poverty in the
towns may be judged from the fact
that mnay thousands of families have
applied for bread cards. In Amster-
dam for example, nearly $4,000 fam
lily cards have been issued; in Rotter-
dam 10000; in The Hague 10000 and
in Leyden $4,000.

white bread in Holland was Is Dutch

AMSTERDAM, June 19.-"Govern-
ment bread" and bread cards" on
June / this year became an institu-
tion in Holland for the period OF
the war, from which the people of
the Netherlands suffer much while
only looking on. The Dutch, however,
are not compelled to eat government
bread nor to take bread cards, nor
restrain their appetites by order. The
system here is based on the philan-
thropic principle and its Introduction
does not imply any fear of shortage
of flour or bread.
The idea of issuing bread cards
arose owing to the ever increasing
number of people in Holland whose
resources have been reduced since
war broke out in Europe. The draft
ing into the army of thousands of
bread winners in preparation to de-
fend Holland against any attack on
her neutrality and the decreased
opportunities for those remaining at
home of finding employment as a
sequel to the lack of raw materials
in various trades, have rendered the
poor as rule poorer, while those
persons possessed of means have
become wealthier. since they have
been able to take advantage of op-
portunities of making profit by laying
out their cash.
Immediately after the beginning OF
hostilities the Dutch government
requisitioned all grain and since then
all imported grain has been consigned
to it. Many bakers took advantage of
this fact, and the price of bread in
Holland has risen enormously since
August. This increase naturally has
hit the laboring class more than any
other class of society, as manual
workers always consume a larger
proportion of bread than do more well
to do people.
In order to allay some of the dis
content of the poor brought about by

Police Investigating.

Bellaire police are investigating
two robberies which were pulled OF
some time Monday night. presumably
while the occupants OF both places
were absent from their homes.
The first place visited seems TO
have been the confectionery of Essie
Leach. on Gravel Hill. II Is believed
the robbery occurred about s O'Clock.
as none of the members of the family
were at home at that hour. The thief
enected an entrance by raising a rear
window, and after securing about So
or ~ in cash, opened the front door OF
the confectionery and walked leisurely
away. A woman on the opposite side
OF the street claims she saw the man
leave the place about that time. The
robbery was reported to the police
yesterday. but there is no clue.
The second robbery also occurred
on Gravel Hill, and must have been
pulled of early In the evening, when
the confectionery OF Mrs. Ed Del
brugge was robbed OF $12. Mrs. Del
brugge was at home at the time the
robbery took place. The confectionery
was entered in the same manner as az
the former place, and the police are OF
the opinion that both places were en-
tered by the same party. Mrs. Del
brugge, upon returning home Monday
night. discovered that her place had
been robbed. but the police kept the
matter quiet in the hope that some
thing would be discovered which would
lead 10 the identity Of the thief.
