German Food Prices
$40 Per Cent Higher
Than They Were in 1914

BASLE. Switzerland. November
fisherman food prices show In
creases compared with 1914 OF
240 per cent. There Is general
complaint that wage increases
have not equaled the increases in
the cost of living. The attempt to
fix maximum prices has been un-
successful. But the Same end was
secured by rigorous government
control Of the sources Of food sup
ply. Only standard articles Of food
are procurable in limited Quanti-
ties against cards issued by the
authorities.
These prices here given are In

Extracts From CHEEKY Letters.

tracts from letters received today:
from Mrs. Clark Griffith, 3025 10th
street northwest:
Mr.. Griffith and l will he pleased and
Nonored to entertain two soldiers or
sailors on THANKSGIVING day for dinner
at $50 o'clock. They can come at 3
o'clock and we will take them for 2
ride through the parks and places of
interest. Would like to hear from
them before THANKSGIVING day"
From superintendent Episcopal Home
for Children:
The kiddes who live at the Episco-
pal Home wish, through your columns
to invite two soldiers sailors or ma
rines to spend Thanksgiving day with
them. roaring open fire. plenty. ot
popcorn and sure-enough good south

Germany's Quitting Day Inevitable.

1T is possible that Germany might
continue the war indefinitely. and yet
no person in Germany would actually
starve. and no gun would be actually
silenced for want of shells 1t is not
possible that any people can continue
to withstand the constant pressure Of
misery Indefinitely. 1t is not a refiec-
ton upon the high quality of German
courage to say the day must come when
the Germans Esust quit"
To attempt to say when that day will
come would be to venture into un-
profitable prophecy. By reasoning from
the experience of the year just past.
however. it is safe to suggest that
about June of 1918 the Germans will be
fixing peace again. Just now they
are considering terms more than they
are peace By that time it is likely
they will be considering peace more
than terms. 1t is in June that the
pinch of hunger is greatest The bit
ter memories of winter are still fresh.
The meat ration is at the lowest and
the new food which is depended on to
supplement the usual ration is of
watery spring vegetables. Last June
the spirit in the moral thermometer of
Germany was at it's lowest. 1t is possi-
Bile it will be SO again next June.

many is suffering from progressive me-
chanical deterioration and cumulative
humn misery There is no acual short
age of material. There will be more
food in Germany during the next twelve
months than there was during the
twelve months past. The demands of
the military for men and munitions will
be met. The weakness in the German
war fabric is not one of material, but
of morale. The Germans have them
selves recognized and labeled it.
