SWISS, REAL DEMOCRATS.
MAINTAIN NEUTRALITY
SPITE OF MANY OBSTACLES

In France the bread ration is 300
grams per person a day. Here the daily
bread ration is 275 grams and the quail
ity is NOT Sc good. IN Paris you tan
order eggs Ssh, chicken, meat and game
fruit cheese. desse-;. teIfee and the
.cst. But hrre you can have but one
nj-a.. And if you have nca. yop can
not have eggs or cheese; if cheese then
no meat or eggs; if eggs, no meat and
cheese.
In Zurich, at one of the finest ho-
tells in the city, they would not let me
have any sugar Here in Berne, l got
a couple of small lumps-the ration
differing a trifle in various cantons.
This apparently unfair and undemocrat-
ic distribution of sweets is really the
reverse. Sugar is given out according
to the number of Swiss mouths to feed.
In cities like Zurich, erammed with
German war refugees, the sugar ration
per head is naturally less than in some
other canton where there are fewer
visitors.
Bread being an absolute necessity, is
naturally handed out according to the
mouths, whether Swiss, German, French
or American.

READY FOR WESTERN {
OFFENSIVE But FIND
MOVE UNNECESSARY
German Liberal Leader Dis
cusses Peculiar Phase of
Politics In Empire
By Jan Bruna
Written for the United Press)

(Written for the United Press)
The Hague, Mar. &C. Now that we
are ready for a western Offensive, it is
unnecessary, a German liberal lead
er declared, according to neutral dip
lomat today.
"And the new weapon the army
leaders intend to use would make us
more unpopular than ever" the Ger
man continued "HOwever, they have
done so many stupid things it is very
possible they will make the offensive
The diplomat, who is a special friend
of Foreign Minister Kuehlmann, told
me that Kuehlmann' influence in
Germany is at low cbb. The military
party would like to see him dismissed.
Kuehlmann seems prepared for dis
missal, the diplomat said, but the kaIs-
er is believed to have asked him to re-
main. General Ludendorff is now the
most powerful influence in the empire.
He dictated the course leading to the
Russian peace. He has not the nerve
to dismiss Kuehlmann since the latter
is the symbol Of parliamentary influ-
enee He is for the liberals what Field
Marshal Hindenburg is for the soldiers
but feels, in his own language that Lu-
denaorff is the "prugelknabe (elub
wielder.)
