GETTING GERMAN FOOD.
People of Alsace-Lorraine' Take That
Hoarded BY Hun.

Strasbourg, Nov. 3O.--It is difficult
to get at the real food situation of the
reconpuered French provinces, Visitors
there are now finding in the populous
centres that good food Is to be had in
plenty, through generally at high
prices. Sometimes, however. food
may obtained at astonishingly rea-
sonable rates.
At the same time visitors are told
that in many places persons had been
unable to obtain even the card al
lowance of food, although with money
In hand to pay for 1t.
The supposition that there always
was plenty of food for the population
but that 1T was held In reserve for the
German army seems to be supported
by the fact that provisions are now
most plentiful in towns where strong
garrisons were stationed Departure
of the garrisons released food re-
services for general use.

PICKED BY CRITICS
Youngster Being Selected to De-
throne Hoppe of Crown.
Iowa Youth Has Been Improving His
Billiards by Leaps and Bounds
Since, He First Broke Into
limelight Years Ago.

Iline was when the man who men
toned any billiard player as a possi
Die successor to Willie Hoppe as
balk-line champion was ridiculed. The
idea was prepOsterous, the talent de-
ciared. Hoppe was so pre-eminent in
MS line that there was not the remot-
est chance of anyone displacing him.
Hoppe is still pre-eminent, his wiz
ardry with the cue is as faultless as
ever, but nevertheless his matchless
play is being approached by young
ster who is planning a campaign to Gull
inmate in a challenge for Hopes
many titles.
Welker Cochran, the Iowa youth, has
been improving his billiards by leaps
and bounds since he first broke into
the limelight a few years ago. On
tour with Hoppe two or three years
ago Cochran looked like q novice be-
side the master billiardist, but he
worked hard, continually studying
Hopes game and improving his own.
This year he has shown such phe-
nomeGSl billiards that critics believe
he would be able to give. The champion
trouble at his favorite balk.lne
games.
Cochran is also a talented three
cushion player. He has never entered
competition for the championship per.
haps for the same reason that Home
has refused to compete for these
honors.
The National Three-CuShion Bill
Hard association rules make it imper-
alive for a champion to defend his
title every two or three months if
there is a challenge and Hoppe has
never considered the honor worth the
trouble. In the last two years there
have been so many three-cushion cham
pions that scarcely anyone re-
members who they We're. Alfredo De
ORC has held the title three times in
that length of time. This rule prob
ably also keeps Cochran from COM
peting.
