Out of Danger.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

Spa. Belgium, Dec 26--The former
headquarters Of the Kaiser and his general
staff Is disclosing some extraordinarily
queer facts these days about the men who
engineered the world war Take for one,
Hindenburg, Gemanys super-man,
around whom reams of poetry have been
written disclosing HIM as fearless Ma
poleon leading his troops to victory. As
a matter OF fact, he spent a great deal of
time in a wonderfully constructed funk
hole, or dugout, underneath the grounds
of his villa here.
Spa, it may be noted, is almost on the
German border and so lar from where
battle lines used TO be that 1t Was almost

Of their villas there were delicate electrical
Instruments which would set up furious
busslng whenever an alrplane approached.

worked about Hindenburg' establishment
said he was continually running for cover.

they we're amazed when thew discovered
this underground refuge Of the great
warrior" The entrance was through the
dining room From there flight of steps
led down to a tiled ante-ro0m, which now
serves as very good pantry for the Ameri-
cans.
From this tiled room another flight Of
steps led down TO the real dugout This

one inch thick which could be locked
from the inside only Within. it was
fastened by double lock which would

walls which we're Of corrugated iron, were
painted solid white and the whole place
was brilliantly illuminated by electricity
On a little table was an electric fan to
keep the Marshal cool in summer, while
an electric stove provided heat In winter
The room was about l4xl2 feet and was
protected by four to six feet Of earth above
The Emperor's dugout was similar
except that it was much deeper under
ground and there were two entrances,
one through the villa and the other from
the grounds The main entrance was from
the house and led down a long fight of
steps.
Another touch to the picture was added
today when German resident of Aix-la-
Chapelle told the correspondent OF the
Associated Press the Crown Prince spent
virtually all OF his time in amusement.

PHOENIX RETAILERS
BOOST RATION PLAN
WITH FLOUR CARDS

Retail grocers of Phoenix and all
other towns in the Salt River valley
are trying out an interesting expert
ment in the matter of establishing vol
UNFAIRLY a ration card system for the
purpose of making effective the six
pound-per-pers allowance
of wheat, which is urged by the Food
Administration.
Thus far the system has proven a
success, and there is every reason to
believe that it will work out effective
ly on a permanent basis until such
time as it is no longer necessary to
save wheat.
Advantages claimed for this system
are that it places all consumers on an
equal basis, that it effects material
rather than a theoretical saving, and
that 1t simplifies the work of the deal
or in keeping track of sales of flour
and bread. The consumer is permitted
to buy his flour and other wheat prod
ucts at the grocery and his bread of
baker If he desires. He can change
from one dealer to another at any
time, though he is permitted to buy of
only one dealer at time. Central
clearing houses are established and a
secretary placed in charge to issue
cards and keep check on the cards,
duplicate copies of which are forward
ed to him each day.
The merchants of Globe and Miami
have adopted the system and those of
Cochise county are planning to do so,
as soon as the cards can be supplied
Through voluntary adoption by deal
ers' associations, it is believed that the
system will be made statewide.
