ALL GERMANY STARVING.

A letter was sent to the Baltimore
Sun recently by an intelligent Dane
who is connected with leading in
vestment banking house of Balti-
more and New York, to the head of
the firm This Dane recently made
the-trip to his own country in its in
terest. He was asked to give his i'm
pressions of conditions abroad as he
raw them at first hand. His letter,
which is clear and concise, his OBJ
servations having been so attentive
as to make them worth considering,
reads in part as follows:
One thing only is certain that Ger
many is starving desperately and APP
preaching it's dissolution
There is no question Germany
starves-that is, the civil population.
7 he army still gets. if not enough, by
far more than the families who have
nc sons or father in the army.
These families are considered bur
den, ana if not actually starved u
death, they are instant victims of
the slightest disease. The country
is therefore swept by epldemlcs,
causing very high mortality IN
spite of often tremendous efforts,
and, furthermore, abnormally lew
children are being born. lnfantlclde
is not punished, have been told. The
soldiers on leave do not go home for
their vacation, because they do not
want to see their dead or dying
children, and there are many cases
where the snldier-husband not only
allows but encourages his wife to
| earn money the easiest way. This
has brought the most frightful cpl
! denies and absolute Decentralization
to the society.
1t seems unbelievable that the
civil population does not revolt; but
they have neither the initiative nor
weapon. The only hope for an early
peace is. in my opinion, military
revolt or assassination of the Empc-
| ror.
The following Incident is trivial.
but significant: A Danish lady heard
the Crows Prince called q lousy
lad in trolley the other day in Ber-
lin. -Four years ago its originator
would have gone to many year. of
Imprisonment for that remark. Nov
nobody made any trouble at all. The
Grown Prince used to be the idol
and. senli=god of the Junkers.
| The Germans can starve perhaps
| fur. another year now they have got
the new crops but the fertility of
the soil is naturally giving out when
the soil is not titled any more. There
is not sufficient labor available nor
horses. and am told they do no
ploughing, just harrow the surface
OF the fields.
One thing seems to be a fact that
after February, 1918. no more wool.
len clothes can he had. due to the
| lack of wool This is said officially by
leading textile manufactures in the
Eerlin papers, and that may bring

they were making clothes and even

manufacture Of nitrocelulose (gur

The civil population exists on beets.
but this causes certain diseases due

from absolutely reliable source how

soup from the same bones: two hours

to Board Soldiers According to
Estimate Just Made.
War has made Uncle Sam the
biggest buyer of food in this coun-
try and the board bill for his SOL
diers will be at least $S00,000' per
day, said Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission, q few days
ago. Continuing, he said:
ave are to have two million men
under arms shortly according to the
best reports. At forty cents day
it will be seen what that means.
True, these men ate before becoming
soldiers to make the world safe Tor
Democracy They doubtless ate more
than forty cents worth daily whlc!,
Uncle Sam figures is the cost per
man. But you must remember that
these men have suddenly become non
producers and they must be fed. The
army is making great plans for

the enemy but you cannot deceive a

All the characters of a four act
play acted by this one man-this
is a novel entertainment to be given
at the Glendale School Friday. Mar.
80 at s O'Clock. Mr.. Victor H. Hoppe
of the Bellingham Mortal School will
present his play-recital, THE Fort
une Hunter" This is the story of a
young man who couldn't make good
in the city and came to live in the
small country town of Radville, Pa.
Here he gets job in the local drug
store, meets and mingles with the
typical characters of the town, and
wins out.
Mr.. Hoppe portrays all the char
acters with such changes from one
to another that the audience loses
him in the person he is portraying.
1t is quite as if you went to the the
alter and saw the play actually staged.

the mystery.
1t seems that Ali Dinar. who had re

was impossible for him to use them
owing to there being no roads near his
capital He had communicated with
his agent in Cairo and ordered him to
find something which he could use.
The agent consulted some friends
and on their suggestion purchased a

the capricious sultan, who, posing in
the armchair, lost no time in trying it.
To every ones surprise it negotiated

its speed was necessarily very slow.
The sultan was nightly pleased with
the arrangement and never failed to
use his steam roller whenever be pro-

One can well imagine that the royal
progress in this style did not fail to in

monarch was already regarded by his
subjects.

Hand kerchiefs.

The words pocket handkerchief
have a curious history. The syllable
.'ker" is short for the French ''cou-

else but chef" the head. Kerchiefs
we're used also for the neck, and that
made them neckerchiefs. Finally when
they became what they now are and

pockets were invented and worn IN
the time of Queen Elizabeth the term
pocket handkerchief came into use.
