British Wearing German Shoes!

London, March.-The English peo-
pie are beginning to believe that they
are wearing shoes made of German
leather through the fact that many of
their shoes are imported from Swift
erland where the manufacturers are

man leather Their suspicious were
recently confirmed by the fact that
British imports of shoes from Switzer-
land during February were nearly dou-
Bile those of the corresponding period
in 1914 Information was given in the
house of parliament recently that the
use of German leather to the extent of
% per cent in shoes imported from
Switzerland is permissible.
