GERMANY REGULATES
SUPPLIES FOR POOR
But the Rich Have Plenty,
Says w. ]. Shepherd,
War Correspondent.
CAUSES FOOD RIOTS
Many Favor a Ration Basis
so All Will Be on
Equal Terms.
BY WILL AM G.. SHEPHERD
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

ROTTERDAM, May 2S (by maiD -
The German government is regulat-
ing the food supply for the poor, but
so far it has not taken in hand the con-
troll of food for the rich.
The many travellers from Germany
who gave their ideas of the German
food situation to me here all complain
ed that the wonderful scientific food
conservation scheme of the Germans
broke down when it came to dealing
with the food of the rich.
This is why there are food riots
in Germany. Injustice exists and civil
ians of German towns realize it.
Poor people must stand in line for
hours before a meat shop, providing
they have five or six marks for a pound
of meat" said one German | met in
Rotterdam.
Rich Men Can Get Food.
Maybe the meat supply in the shop
will hold out until their turn comes
in the line and maybe it won't But
rich men can hire a servant whose sole
duty is to stand in the meat line every
day, from l o'clock in the morning un-
til the days supply of meat for the
rich mans household is secured
"And even if the rich mans servant
fails to buy meat, he and his family
can always go to a hotel or restaurant
and get meat on every day in the week
except Tuesday and Friday.
"The authorities may frown on
a household going to a restaurant
every day, but there is no law against
it and if the householder doesn't want
to be criticized for doing this he has
only to go to a different restaurant
every day and his unpatriotic practice
will not be noticed
The idea seems to be growing among
the middle and lower classes in Ger
many that the only fair way to deal

CALLS SIMPSON GREATEST EVER
Boston Globe Prints Appreciation OF
VI. l.. Champion Hurdler.

Bob Simpson of Bosworth, Mo-, i:
These are the opening words of {
story under the heading, THE Great.
est Athlete" and picture of Bob do
ing the high hurdles in IA 3-5 Sec
onds, which appeared in the Boston
Globe of June 20 Following is the
remainder of the story:
The performances of the 'phenOm
from the University of Missouri dur
ing the last few weeks stamp him
without parallel in athletic history.
Three times he has beaten the old
mark for the 120-yard high hurdles of
l. seconds flat, held by Smithson,
Kelly and Garrels. He first startled
the world by clearing the sticks for a
mark of II 40 seconds. The credu-
| lous didn't believe it. A week later he
repeated the performance in the Mis-
souri-kansas dual meet at Columbia,
Mo Then he outdid that when he es-
tablished the remarkable worlds rec
ord of II 3-5 for the high hurdles
We are wise to the fact that this
modest young fellow from the Middle
West is right now a better all around
sprinter, jumper and hurdler than AL
vim KraenZlein was on his best day.
CiprpCop's parforp,apno NJ roIup, bio
Mo-. proved that. In the meet be-
tween Missouri and Kansas, Simpson
won five events-every one of them
a championship performance.
''He took the 10O-yard dash in 10
1-5 seconds and the 22O yards in %
seconds. The high hurdles he negoti-
ated in ii As seconds, and the low
hurdles in "a 2-5 seconds. Then, to
top off his afternoons work, he went
into the broad jump and cleared %
it. s 3-4 in.
simpson was the first athlete on
record to beat Is seconds for the 100
