FOOD SITUATION BETTER
Great Improvement Is Shown in Ger
many and Austria; Unique Inven-
ton BY Police Officer
UNITED Press Dispatch.J

Berlin, Germany, July 10 The
food situation shows much improve
ment in Germany and Austria. A
special commission of the two coun-
tries has been appointed to handle
it will be much better to have
the problem handled for two ma
lions together, than to have each
act by itself, as in the dual
monarchy there is a much greater
abundance of food than there is in the
German empire.
A Berlin police lieutenant has in
vented a process whereby it is claimed
that 25 per cent of fat can be extract
ed from a bone, and this fat is fit for
human food. Butter has almost disap-
peared, and it is believed that the in
vention of the police lieutenant will
prove great boon to the public.

colliding with heavy team which
he had not observed in the darkness

faith shown in this petition, l am in
a position to doubt anything. We
stand on our rights"
