CONVERSION GERMAN PRICE
FOR MILITARY RANK.

Recreancy to their faith and their
people, and not valor in the field
or military ability, is the stepping
stone by which Jews in the German
army may attain to commissions,
according to advices received by the
Provisional Zionist Committee. The
Jewish press of Germany is very
much alarmed over the situation
and is unit in denouncing the agi-
tation which is being waged vigor-
ously in that country to persuade
Jewish soldiers, and especially non
commissioned officers, to abandon
their faith.

government abolished the ministry

The Jews of Ukraine are hostile

VIII Publish Prices.
Plans are bein gmatured by the fed
eral food commission of Tennessee for
the publication at regular intervals
in the daily papers of the state of the
wholesale and retail prices Of the prin-
cipal food products. This would have
been done before now but for the
statement of wholesale grocers that,
owing to the very great difference in
the prices of many of the same food
commodities, it would be impractica-
BILE, However, it is planned soon after
the first of the year to begin these
publications. First, there will be pub
lished the prices at which products
are sold to the retail trade by the
wholesalers and then the prices at
which the retailers should sell to the
consumer.
For example, If sugar is being sold
to the retailer at 1925 to $3.50 per 100
pounds, it should be sold to the con-
sumner at not over 10 cents a pound.
Other of the chief articles of food will
be taken up in the same way. A diff.
ference will be noted also in the prices
at which groceries arc sold undeliv-
cred and those at which they are sold
where they are delivered.
