my attention was that OF an American
friend who suffered the loss Of all his
clothes by theft except the ones he
was wearing. He laid tho matter be-
fore the police and after much discus
sion they relented and permitted him to
buy an extra suit. some underclothlng
and a pair OF shoes.
In order to obtain one of these
clothes tickets one must show his pass
or police registration certificate to the
local district Office. Everything that Is
bought is registered and applications
are very rare.
The old suits Of clothes are not
thrown away. One has TO be surrended
by a man when he applies for a new
suit, and all the old ones are mended
and saved for the soldiers When they
return from the trenches and take up
their civilian occupations.

were paid for them. In this collection
all the brass oven doors were taken.
Every room in Germany had a stove
with two brass doors and the amount
of brass yielded was enormous. hon
doors replaced the. brass ones. All
door knobs In Germany are of brass.
These are large and heavy and If ever
taken will afford twice as much OF the
metal as was obtained In the first COL
lection.
