GREATEST H0lDDER =
or FOOD IN WORLD.
Wilhelm Lived Sumptuously
While Subjects Starved.

How Wilhelm held out" is the
title of an article in the Frankfort
Volks Stimme, by Wilhelm, a Social
ist, who discovered the boards OF
provisions which the former Emper-
OF had in his Berlin palace.
"The quantity the writer says.
exceeded ali expectations. In large
white, tiled. rooms was everything,
llterallygeveFything one can imagine,
in foodstuffs. 1t is inconeeiyaBle that
after four years of war such huge
quantities could be boarded. There
was meat and game in cold storage,
sailed provisions in large cases,
white meal in sacks piled to the roof
thousands of eggs, gigantic boxes
filed with tea, coffee, chocolate, lard
/ jelly and jam; hundreds of sugar
loafs and endless stacks of peas,
beans, dried fruits and biscuits.
Their value amounts to several hun
bred thousand marks.
These boarded foodstuffs can not
be better used than to be preserved
AS lasting memorial to our poster

lions in Germany starved. those

prising material for spinning, hides
and skins, high grade ores, rubber,
timber for ships and furniture, oil pro-
ducing plants, animal fats, fodder, fer
tilizers. coffee, cocoa, tea, tobacco and
precious metals, and 1t was pointed
out that the staple supplies ordinarily
come from countries now hostile, as
cotton and tobacco from the United
States, coffee and tobacco from Brazil,
wool from Australia and British South
Africa, oil kernels from British and
French West African colonies.
The present Imperial Department of
Economics continues to discuss WAYS
Of obtaining raw materials. OF the nine
separate sections into which this de-
partment is divided six are concerned
with the study of them, each section
being assisted by committees of ex-
perts, for the various groups Of ma
terials.
Data have been collected for nearly
all commodities in order to determine
exactly the amount Of raw materials
required for their production. Rec
ords are being kept as to cargo space
and freight agreements made by the
shipping companies. The various sec.
