Germany Transmits Proposal
to y. S. to Reaffirm An
Gent Treaties.

Washington, Feb. l2.-~Gcrmany's
proposal for a rcatfirmation of the old
Prussian- American treaties of 1893 and
1928, with a long list of added clauses
to modernize and extend provisions re-
latins to the treatment of enemy resi-
dents in case Of war, has been trans
mitted formally to the state depart
ments by DR.. Paul Ritter. the Swiss
minister here. This is the proposition
former Ambassador Gerard refused to
consider when the German foreign Of
flee, after the United States had bro
Ken relations, sent it to him in the
form of "a protocol with the intimation
that if he did not attach his signature
Americans in Germany might be held
as hostages to insure good treatment
Of Germans in this country.
Officials familiar in a general way
with the documents nature said today
1t apparently was 50 different from the
original treaties that it virtually would
constitute now one, and strong doubt
was expressed that the United States
would enter into regulations on the
subject

Many Staples Have Disap-

gether, A. P. Learns.
POTATO ALLOWANCE
DOWN TO TEN OUNCES
Impossible to Give One Egg
to a Person Each Two
Weeks-Fats Scarce.

Stockholm, Feb. 12.-Food condi-
tons in Germany have changed greatly
for the worse in the last five months.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press who has been away from Ger
many since the first week in August.
has just returned from stay of three
weeks In Berlin. He found that many
staples OF TODD had altogether disap-
peared from the markets, others had
grown so dear that they are beyond
the reach of any but the we'll to do.
the daily allowance of potatoes had
been reduced to ten ounces and that
either shortage of flour or a disor-
dcrcd distribution of it among the ba-
kers had resulted in long lines Of buy
ers standing for hours in front Of the
bakeries.
Maximum prices of the foodstuffs
controlled by the government are still
very low for potatoes and bread, and
comparatively low for meats. Pota-
toes cost only - cents, the standard
bushcl of 60 pounds, and bread little
less than SO cents pound. The po-
tato allowance is insufficient for per-
sons who have little but bread and po-
tatoes to eat, and has to be eked out
with turnips.
1t had been hoped to allow one egg
a person each two weeks in greater
Berlin, but the last one egg allowance
was made some five weeks ago and
another is not promised until Febru-
airy. Whep the correspondent left
Berlin in August it was still possible
to buy cheese. Since the end of Au-
gust there has been no cheese on the
market. 1t is said that considerable
quantities are being imported from
Holland but it goes apparently to the
front except for small quantities al
lowed the restaurants and hotels.
The weekly allowance of meat of all
kinds in the great Berlin municipali-
ties runs from "a to So ounces. The
cheapest varieties cost about 60 cents
a pound; the dearest - cents.
one of the most serious deprivatiOns
continues to be the fats and oils. The
weekly allowance of butter and mar
garipc together is a little less than
three ounces "A person. Oil is so eX-
pensive that it is out of the reach of
the great majority. The Associated
Press correspondent paid $3.12 for
about two thirds of pint of haZelnut
Oil to be used for frying. Goose fat
costs $3.50 a can of II 3-5 ounces,
and is the only fat, except vegetable
oils. which can be bought without q
card.

recorder and county physician will,
for the benefit of the public, make
trips to the five largest camps in the

the work could be handled much fast
