New York Suffrasists Tell Each New
Wife Power Vote Would Bring.
New YOrk.-Little American flags
and suffrage buttons were given out at
the marriage license bureau to all the
brides of the greater city recently by
New York city suffragists. The dem
onstration took place just as the sol
diers were called out to camp, and 50
many of the brides were fearful little
war brides, to whom the American
flags presented by the suffragists were
peculiarly appropriate. With the flags
and buttons each bride received a box
Of wedding cake tied with suffrage rib
bon and a brides leaflet advising each
new wife of the power she might gain
for husband and children If she had
the vote.
The leaflet told Of the good laws wO-
men have helped to gain in the twelve
suffrage states for the protection OF
men, women and children. 1t ended
with an appeal to every bride to join
the suffrage movement, which Is en-
deavoring to extend the wife and

While the mass of the German peo-
pie has displayed extraordinary self
denial since the war began. there has
been speculation in food, and the poor
have suffered in consequence. BatOckfs
appointment was made shortly after
butcher shops in Berlin and the sub
urbs were raided by angry mobs of
women who had sought in vain to buy
meat. only to be told by the butchers
that they had none. Midnight watching
revealed a brisk trade which the
butchers carried on with patrons who
could afford to pay exorbitant rates.
The police were active in prosecuting
the gamblers in food. but the evil was
not eliminated. One butcher, Klaus
mann, whose shop was in the Hoheluft-
Chausee, was convicted Of selling sau-
sage made of semi-putrid meats deodor-
lied by chemicals. One of his patrons,
the principal of a large school, had him
arrested after several Of the children
had died from eating his sausages.
The man hanged himself In prison.
The bakers were not guiltless, one Of
them, Gustav Bruschwitz doing bust
ness In the Naugardenstrasse, having
been arrested for increasing the weight
Of his bread tickets by watering them
The bread coupons when arranged In
large quantities normally weighed a
certain amount and when presented In
bundles to the bread committee In re-
turn for -four were exchanged accord
ing to the weight of the bundle Of tick
cts. Bruschwitz found that perfectly
dry tickets in the bundle weighed 120
pounds, while the bundle after being
moistened with water weighed 151
pounds. His depredations were finally
discovered, and he had to pay a big
fine as well as serve a sentence In
prison.

ting and frequently spending 1t In ex-
pensive restaurants. Many girls, TAX
