CHINESE NUMEROUS.

London, Feb. 9-England is experi- encing in a limited sense an invasion
 of Oriental servants. Chinese and Japanese are landing here in greater numbers than usual and are taking the places of the native servants who have joined the colors, gone in for munitions making or back to the farms where such good wages are now being paid. The Orientals are said to be proving popular because they make themselves more generally useful and seem never to tire of work.

cry and other things from outside
neutral countries have their agents
smuggle food at the same time.
While the Dutch, Danish and Swiss
governments try to stop smuggling
there Is always some going through
The rich have the money to bribe Dor
der officers and inspectors. When ]
was In Dusseldorf, last October I met
the owner Of number of canal boats
who shipped coal and iron products
from the Rhine Valley 20 Denmark. He
told me his canal barges brought back
food from Copenhagen every trip and
that the border authorities were not
very careful In making an inNestiga-
ton Of his boats.
In Dusseldorf, too, as well as in
cologne, business men spoke about the
food they got from Belgium. They
did not get great quantities, of course
but, the leakage was enough to enable
them to live better than those who
had to depend upon the food In Ger
many.
CARD SYSTEM MADE GENERAL,
When the food supplies began to de-
crease the government instituted the
card system Of distribution. Bread
cards had been~very successful, SO the
authorities figured that meat, butter
potato and other cards would be
equally SO. But their calculations were
wrong.
When potato cards were issued
| each person was given nine pounds q
week. But the potato harvest was a
Dig failure. The supply was so much
less than the estimates that seed po-
tatoes had to be used to keep the peo-
pie satisfied. Even then the supply
was short, and the quantity to be sold
on potato cards was cut to three
pounds week. Then transportation
difficulties arose, and potatoes spoiled
before they reached Berlin, Munich,
Hamburg, Dresden, Leipsic and other
large cities.
The same thing happened when the
government confiscated the fruit crop
last year.
The government monopoly which
controls the purchase and distribution
OF food Is known as the central Elm
kaufgesellschaft, the ~. E. c." Because
this company has made so many mis-
takes and caused SO much food to spoil
there Is universal dissatisfaction. Last
summer one day a trainload of plums
was shipped from Werder, the fruit
city near Berlin, to the capital. The
Y. E. G." confiscated the plums, nine
freight car loads, and delayed the dis
tribution 80 long that the plums spoil

the cars one morning and painted ON

being a closed one. was thrown against
the top and then to the bottom of the
