ply. Necessity soon brought out all
that was worst in the German char
acter.
Although the government decreed a
high fine and Imprisonment as pun
ishment for buying or selling anything
which had been Communicated. specu-
lators sprang up on every side and
people Dragged openly of what they
had stored away.
The worst deprivation was In the
lack OF fats. The people showed It
very plainly. One seldom saw n fat
man or a fat woman, although before
the war fairness was almost character
istic OF the German physique. Indeed.
I saw n rather stout woman being fol-
lowed by at least twenty boys who
were jeering at her and making slur-
ring remarks about the manner In
which she had retained her avoirdu-
polls. A fat person In Germany today
is regarded with suspicion.
Naturally the weakened condition OF
the people makes them all easily sus-
ceptible to disease. Epldemics spread
rapidly and / am inclined TO believe
thorities to protect the older people
from Infection. / know that my sec
retary's mother fell and broke both
her legs last summer G917) and was
taken to the accident ward of n hos
pltal where her fellow-patients were
all crippled. Ten of the inmates of
that ward died in single day from
dysentery. and the following day the
death list was increased by twelve.
the old lady with the broken legs be-
ing one Of them. Twenty-Five more
bread cards saved at the expense of
twenty-five useless women In one hos
pltal alone-a fair record for two
daysl 1 have no proof that these I'M
fortunate victims of disease were de-
liberately infected by the hospital au-
thorities, but the mere fnct that TWEEN
ty-two patients In an accident ward
died from dysentery in two days is
certainly evidence of gross careless
ness If nothing worse.
To buy new clothes It is necessary
to secure a certificate from the gov
eminent TO the effect that you are abb
solutely in need of clothing. and, even
then, you are compelled TO give up the
suit you are discarding.
Branch offices for investigating the
necessity of rcplenishlng ones ward
robe have been established all over
the cities and they are always crowd
cd Women are in charge and they
seemed thoroughly to enjoy their au-
thOrity and their power to deny an
application for new clothing.
When I left Berlin the law permit

two pairs of socks, etc. year. Since
soap had disappeared from the mar

MUNICIPAL COURT NOTES.

The fire department was responding
10 an alarm last week and Max Stack
wanted to go to the fire. He ran his
Ford up Marshall street enjoying a
little brush with the chiefs "red devil
which from behind was siren calling
him to go up to the curb. Max enjoyed
it immensely until he was told to ap-
pear in court. There he was informed
that there is a comparatively new law
requiring vehicles to go to the curb
and stop when the fire apparatus sig
nails. Max said: I'VE learn something
every day. I'll try to remember that.
AS an aid to his memory the court
boosted the usual ten dollars for
speeding to fifteen. 1t came to $19.3S
which the Fordist paid. The practice
of automobiles running pell-mell to
fires is becoming a nuisance. Traffic
should get out of the way and let the
fire apparatus have clear going, and
go to the fire, if at all, with more than
usual caution.
Two jackies, members of the crew of
the Blue Ridge, U. S. government
transport, being rebuilt here, seem to
have had objections to part of the
name of the German-American Bank"
appearing on the plate glass window
of the local financial institution bear
ing that name, and Halloween, last
Thursday, they attempted to efface a
part of the name with yellow paint
w. j. Downey was boosting up his
companion when Officer Dueno hove
into view and began action. Seaman
Downey was captured but the other
mariner showed clean pair of heels.
Nothing could induce Downey to tell
who his companion was. Traps,
threats and cajolery left him adamant.
He wouldn't tell. In court he paid ten
and costs, a total of 1880 with the
promise of his captain to attend to his
case further on the ship. A rumor
that Downey was the recipient from
various anonymous sources of several
times the amount he lost could not be
verified.

The EPIDEMIC.

Physicians report that conditions
now are improving and that the clos
ing regulations may soon be safely re-
pealed. The city Board of Health met
on Monday and decided to continue
the rules until they are fairly sure OF
not being required to put the lid on
again. Proprietors of movies, closed
entirely and of saloons, closed at 6:3C
and all day Sunday are getting nerv-
Gus but they will have to make the
best of it, The movies have been shut
down for month. The longest recess
Manitowoc ever had from retail liquor
selling was from $3.50 p. m. last Sat
urday to 8 a. m. Monday but, as some
body said, ''it will give hint of what's
coming"
Saturday was pay day at the ship
yard and everything went dry at $50
Takes did rushing business to out
lying saloons in the towns which did
not come under the city's health ban
There we're crowds out Saturday even
ing but nothing was open but hotels
and drug stores and nothing for sale
but drugs.
Schools continue closed this week
The churches did not hold services
last Sunday.

A CHILLY RUN.

Gottfried Selk, a shoemaker, was at
the Holy Family hospital recovering
from an attack of influenza. He must
have come to a sudden realization that
it was Halloween, for in the still
watches of the night, between II and
II o'clock, he arose, broke the window
and made a hurried exit. Dressed in
his fiimsy nightie only, he fled with
bare shanks through the streets like a
wrath and bounced in on the drowsy
cops at the police station, nearly a
mile from the hospital With unerring
police instinct they took him to Jail in
blankets, a patrol wagon and a hurry.
A contemporary sagely remarked:
Should pneumonia set in it would
probably be fatal to Selk."
