cup Of coffee is about to shrink. The
food administration today received
word from Washington that the size Of
coffee portions must be cut to the
minimum and that none may be wasted.
To supply the nation with coffee,
100000 tons of shipping were used
last year. Some of this shipping must
now be taken for war purposes. Alss
every cup of coffee requires its por-

The order comes from the United

T Unlawful to Sell or Give
~ Away Even the Rags

How closely the Germans are now trim
ming their sails is shown from notice
caused to be inserted in the Berlin news
papers by the Raw Materials Division of
the Ministry Of War. This notice draws
attention to the fact that appeals had re-
Gently been printed In the newspapers ask
ing for contributions of rags, old clothing
and other textile waste for the relief of
poor persons. The War Ministry points
out that all such commodities have already
been declared confscated, and that it is
unlawful to sell or even give them away
for charitable purposes. Then follow adj
dresses at which rags are to be handed in
to the War Ministry.
But human kindness is finding other
channels in which to help the needy than
gathering old rags for them. AT the in
stance Of the Goethe-Bund' scheme was
on foot for instituting so-called "Glad
Evenings" for the benefit of persons too
poor to pay for their amusements during
the dreary evenings Of the fourth war
winter. 1t was proposed to give mixed
programmes of music and dramatic read
ings, or even short plays. Hermann Su-
der1nann, Ludwig Fulda and number Of
prominent actors and musicians were in
charge Of the matter.

fact that there were any substantial rea-

for his dismissal from the Office of Chan

ton Of the Kaiscr-also from the Office of

we condemn the manner in which that de-

The Finest Collection of Old
i Flemish and Dutch Schools

An exceedingly interesting picture sale
will occur at Berlin on March 10, which
would certainly attract many collectors
from foreign countries but for the war.
1t is the picture collection Of the late
Baron Albert Won Oppenheim, Of Cologne,
who died before the war. The sumptuous
catalogue is out, describing forty-four old
Flemish and Dutch pictures that are to
be sold, including Rubens, Van Dyck,
Rembrandt, Quentin Massys, Franz Halls,
Hobbema, PETER de Hooch and others.
The collection is described as the finest
private one in Germany in the old Flemish
and Dutch schools.
The usual number of public lectures and
addresses were also mentioned in the Ber-
lin papers Many Of these were on sub
jects not connected in any way with the
war; Thus the famous Professor Harnack
was to discuss the question:: "What do VIC
know about Jesus outside of the Bible?'
American Imperialism" was the subject
of another address to which the Countess
Schwerin-Loewitz invited the public. The
speaker was advertised as prominent ane
having intimate knowledge Of America
but, singularly enough, his name was no
mentioned. Why?

Irish Society is also described. The so

There Is a German aphorism much quoted
by the Socialists and Radicals in describ-

freely rendered: 1--WE believe in an abso

spirit that Count Westarp raised his LAM

which the Reichstag made upon the

A still more portentous thing is that

parliamentary responsibility. Less than a

Chancellor he made speech in which he
warned Germany against adopting the
democratic systems of Western countries.
