dent OF the Danish East India
- company, whose headquarters are
in London. has just returned here from
a trip to Germany, where he had q con
ference with Alfred BALM. head Of the
Hamburg American steamship line.
While unwilling TO reveal what Ber-

they are too much occupied with their
own private sorrows and cares At Ber-
lin I found people in mourning for the
pension hog.
Here is how the term pension hog
arose. When national meat cards were
introduced in Germany al the beginning
OF last month. the decree issued by the
food director forbidding the private
butchering OF pigs by the farmers and
small butchers for home use was modi-
fled to allow the killing Of pigs for
home consumption by special license.
The meat Of the pigs killed was then
10 be marked down on the meat ticket
OF the owner
Increased Meat Allowance.
This gave the man who killed his
own hogs the advantage that the
weight Of the hog was computed TO be
so much lower than II actually was that
he got twice as much meat as he would
have been entitled TO get II he had had
TO buy II.
The result was that hundreds OF
thousands OF Germans tried to acquire
the right TO kill their own hogs. But.
as II is obviously impossible 10 raise
pigs on the fifth floor OF a Berlin
apartment house. or in the narrow
lanes Of Hamburg. the town jewellers
invented a scheme. and the Pension
schwein came into existence
They bought sucking pigs and sent
them 10 farmers to board. To prove
that they were the lawful owners OF
the pigs. written agreements were
made in which IL was stated who was
the owner OF the pig and the amount
70 be paid for board lodging and at
tendance Everything was in order and
the city pig owners looked forward 70
Christmas. when most of them had
decided to kill their pigs.
Then came a heartless- ukase from
Herr Won BatOcki in which he said that
in order TO get permission TO kill a pig
II must have been kept for at least six
weeks in the house Of the owner and !
must have been fattened on the refuse /
from his own housekeeping When a
pig was owned by several persons in
common it must have been kept in the Z
house OF one Of the part owners and Z
fed on refuse from the households of I
all the part owners
sPensiOn Hog Passes.
Under no circumstances would per-
mits be issued to farmers TO kill pigs
that had been raised and fattened for
others That was the end Of the .pen-
sion hog
There IS not the slightest doubt
that conditions in Germany are verv
grave The misery Of the poor people
in Berlin and Hamburg defies descrio-
ton. and before many months riots are
bound to break out in many places"
