In con- duGTing their operations they have beerr&obHged to use human material of the most miserable quality, for none other could such tasks even be proposed. The money employed all ways has had to pass through the hands of several rascals, each of whom put in his own pocket as much as he dared. and what happened in the Hanau case is presumably typical of many others.

The Berlin government may have thought it would have smooth sailing with the Bolsheviki in their corner.

OF the emergency rations Of the

pressed maize meal with meat, farina
and three chocolate bars. This ration
is deficient In fats for the very good
reason that. even though hermetically

carried any more fat, 1t Is not there
fore u balanced ration, but the con.
tainer holds enough actual food to keep
soldier from starving for twenty-four
hours.
The British troops as well as the
Dutch have sausage made of ground
peas highly salted, reported to have
been originated by the Scotch and

The Italian butter ball is interesting
