 A tiny book of coupons issued by the German goEernment to the popu- E1ace through which the bread supply of the empire is distributed. was re- ceived by pr. Hermann Duesing, 11e9 East Main street. in his mail today. The remembrance came from the phyaicianss brother. Prof. Cari:aDues- ing, who has a chair of mathematics in Kiel University. The book includes several types Of coupons. One calls foF a choice Of either bread or four sothers for bread in diff ferent dianti- ties s
 The professor explains that the bread tickets are issued thToug gh the apolice adthorfties. to tne people. sTherei is no charge for the tickets. but Ao5s deaaebs n ay sell the sbread with olI eceivin gs with the cash, the bread tickets as well. In this way the food supply of 4thes essnationsis conserved The letter to pr. Duesing dated Aug. Is, follows in part:
 Enclosed you will find a little book with coupons, which are our official bread tickets. Each book is for one uerson, child or adult and is valid for 2 weeks. We get books, as we are s in our family. We have always tickets left. because the coupons give more than ample supply of flour. We did not need these coupons. That's s why we send you this little book as a remembrance of the. war. The families of workingmen get more cou- pons than the wel-to-do, if they. make an application. In the family of a hard working man bread is more consumed than in the average household. Besides, the wealthy classes can buy cakes arld pastry, which can be had without tickets. Rice coupons are also regularly dis tributed among the people, besides the bread tickets. Each person gets a rice coupon for one month and one pound. That means our family is aI= lowed to buy pounds of rice every month. This rice is of cheaper grade and was bought by the city of Kiel in great quantities. The very best quality of rice is for sale without reduction and can be sold inzs any quantity.
 "A former student of our academy visited me last week. He had a good paying position in Russia, when the war. broke out. He told the follow ing story: The Russian officers crowded the recruits and reservists during mobilization into freight cars, tion of cattle. locked the cars and sent them on long trips to .tK1es next big city, As the soldiers could not leave the cars, they soon became most They got only bread and water as food My scholar himself was arrested as a German and with many other Germans thrown into a state prison, where they kept him 4 weeks They were sent to Wolgodas after their release and distributed among the villages, where they re- ceived fairly good treatment by the peasants.
 The. Russia armies are continuing their rapid flight. They leave behind only burnt up cities, villages and de- stroyed crops They take along also the inhabitants. But the9 farmers cannot follow the fleeing Russians so with their old wagons. There fore it happens many times. that the Germans find on the highways long trains of farm wagons. loaded with household goods and hungry children.
 The Germans have taken up to Aug. Is during the whole war 1 5 fortresses: Liege. Namur, Maubeuge, Lille Antwerp, Przemys1. Libau, Ro- gan. Pu1tusk, Warsaw, Tvangorod, Ostrolenka, Lerok, Fegrze, and Lnmza- So far we have lost only one fortress. Tsingtau in China
