One policeman who came to The
Herald office to get a large supply
of stamps on the credit plan was in
plain clothes.
Where's your badge" the Her
aid cashier asked as he counted out
the stamps.
The policeman fumbled behind
his coat for moment.

there in front of The Herald office
stood the precinct patrol on its
patriotic errand.
Officials of the War Savings

cal and Washingtons' business and
professional war savings stamp
boosters declared last night The
Herald's campaign to be "the big
gest thing" of the two weeks set
aside as war savings and thrift
stamp periods.
The human side of the contest
was evidenced in The Herald office
last night when a policeman who
had purchased several large sup
plies deposited his last ballot.

Special Cable TO The washington
HeruId and Ne,r XnrIr INrIhuue

Special Cable to The Washington
Herald and New York Tribune.
Paris, Feb. n.-Members Of the Ger
man economic mission in Petrograd
were expected to be insolent, but they
did worse. They treated the repre-
sentauves Of the Russians, sent to re-
ceive them. like veritable servants,
says Paul Eric, correspondent at Pet
rograd for lie Journal.
Hardly were they on Russian soil
when they began to protest Instead
or finding at the railroad station in
Petrograd the reception committee
they had expected, there were only
some sailors and members of the Red
Guard. who were polite enough but
very familiar.
The Germans did not know how TO
accept the familiarity in the same
spirit and, when the Russians began
TO call the Germans ''comrade" the
chief of the mission roared with such
pain that the Red Guard were highly
amused and playfully initiated them.
They called the roar the salute of the
Prussian to the New Russia.
Hotel Servants DIsdaInfuL
At the hotel to which they first
pleasant time. The servants did not
feel like changing the habits they had
acquired during their months Of free
dom and when the. Germans began
shouting orders and ringing bells the
servants soon showed their dislikc.
The Germans had TO change their
hotel. but instead OF a change of man.
ners, they were forced to get used to
what they found.
So they went to the Smolny Insu-
tute.
There was a great stir there, and all
the messengers were sent in haste TO
find quarters for the Germans. The
occupants of two floors in two OF the
largest hotels in the Rue Gogol were
thrown out. and Admiral Count
Ka!serling and his suite took their
Places. Then the Germans wanted to
be saluted by the sailors who served
as a guard Of honor. But the sailors
refused. and the soldier guard was so
imprudent that the Germans asked
to have them withdrawn.
The next thing was a demand for
wine and spirits. They telephoned
more than ten times to the foreign
affairs ministry before they got, at
last, some very poor beer. They in
slSltu Ol NllC EpllhSs NAlNil an
under secretary timidly informed them
that the consumption OF alcohol was
forbidden in Russia
Noise Onends Anarchy.
That does not apply to us" they
replied. I'VE will telephone to
Trotzky."
1t must be supposed that their
demands were satisfied. for on New
Years Eve they made so much
noise in the hotel that a secretary
was sent from the foreign office
to stop the scandal.
They could not conceal their joy
N the restaurants when they saw
the list of meats they had to choose
from. They did not eat. They de-
voured. Two of them spent 900
francs for one dinner.
If the Germans were pleased with
the meat, they were not so well
pleased with the way they were re-
ceived in the restaurants. Two of
them in civil costume went into one
of the principal hotels and began
talking in German. They talked
oud and attracted a good deal of
attention. Soon there were MUIR
murs. The Germans pretended not
to hear, but the manager of the
restaurant said to them:
