Counterfeit Bread
 Used In Germany

Dispatches in German newspapers continue to indicate the rapid trans formation of the additionally patient and orderly German citizen into a crafty evader of the laws of his own country. The Bielefelder General An zeiger, of February 12, states that the secret print shop, the discovery of which it announced the week before, Tad been producing counterfeit bread stamps and bread books for Berlin as we'll as for Bielefeld. The counterfeit CTS had their den in one Of the su- burbs of Bielefeld, and they did busi- nuess, according to the Anzeiger, on considerable scale.
 ''The great number of bread cards which have now been discovered have brought rje bread supply of Berlin to the point of danger. Many bakeries are already swamped with count nterfnit stamps, especially those in the north ern part of the city. Ore counter feitcr printed bread cards for six week at a time, and for the third week of this year alone he printed 4G,0G0 cards. These cards were sid at to marks apiece

STEPS TO STOP

The Frankfurter zeitung of Feb ruary IT, says, under a Berlin date line:
 -The Political Committee on Popu- lation of the House of Deputies, form ed for the purpose of considering Dr. Porsch's bill on measures to be taken against the decrease in the birth rate, has met The Ministry of the Interior has submitted a memorandum on the subject. The government announc- ed through the committee that the Reichstag would consider measures to combat sexual diseases, and also that the comparative decrease in the number of births in war times is much larger than the number of those fallen. Even after the war the birth rate will not attain it's former fig ures.
 "The following have been urged IS necessary measures: Pay reforms, housing organizations, providing of inexpensive house furnishings for young married couples, premiums for children. A subcommittee has Aeen formed to consider the question of providing furniture"
 The Mainzer Anzeiger tells of a plan the city of Bonn has adopted for encouraging marriages by bounties payable in food supplies:

DEATH
 OF BAvARIA'S
 MAD KING OTTO

Recent dispatches from Europe brought the news that Otto of Ba- varia had died. The manner of his death is not known at present, but his taking off ended an incarceration of almost 32 years in a mad-house.
 Otto was deposad in November, 1913, from the throne which he had nominalIy occupied for 27 years. He would have celebrated, in manner of speaking, his 10th birthday today.
 1ong before he came to the throne Otto manifested symptoms of the mental Arrangement which has long afflicted the Bavarian family In 1870, when he had barely reached his majority, his actions were such as to cause him to be placed under re- straint for time. The greatest alien ists in Europe were called in to min ister to the stricken youth, and for a time they hoped that his intellect might be saved, but in 1886, when he became king in succession to his brother, who drowned himself, Otto's case was hopeless. From that time on until his death a few months ago he was confined in a palace-prison. i On one occasion he escaped, but was soon found picking flowers in field.
 Otto's brother and predecessor, King Ludwig, who died suicide, was strange compound of madness and genius. He was a poet of no mean ability, and passionately devoted to music. It was Ludwig who discov- cred Wagner Ludwig refused to live in his capital but spent his time in romantic mountain castles, remote from cities. It was his greatest joy ! to don golden armor and take long night rides on milk white steeds When his mind finally failed he was placed under the care of physicians but he escaped their vigilance and threw himself into the waters of Lake Starnfberg. Shortly before that trag' edv the insane king had conceived
 plot to abduct the present king o1 Italy. then a youth in his teens, carry him to a mountain retreat in Bavarls and there hold him captive until King
 Huubert agreed to restore Rome to the Popa. Thousands of otherwise sane men were enlisted with Ludwig II this conspiracy, and it might posslol1
 have been carried out if the king hac retained a semblance of reason for little longer time.

KAISER MURDERER. ASSERTS GERMAN
 SOCIALIST PAPER

The New Yorker Volkszeitung, so- cialist daily printed in German, ex- pressed its opinion of the first great battle of the German offensive on the Somme in a powerful editorial, from which the following is an excerpt. The Volkszeitung editor takes for his theme the lines of the poet Her wegh: You have won the worlds foremost place in murderous infamy. Germania, I shudder at the mention of you" After reviewing the cyni- cal disregard of the Kaiser and Hin denburg for all moral laws and hu- man decencies, the editorial con tinues:
 The worst battle of the great war, the bloodiest battle in all world his tory, continues. Aggression tinues. But it is by no means certain that the German arm ies will succeed in opening the way to Paris and in throwing themselves upon the capital of the unfortunate country.
 "If the military masters of Ger many believe that the advantages they have already won in this battle yes, and even if they should come out victorious in this greatest of all battles in history-that this would bring nearer conqueror's peace for them, they will be greatly disillu- stoned. The resources of the allies are well nigh inexhaustible. The marauding march of the Hohenzol- Tern into the heart of revolutionary Russia has changed the views of al friends of peace in the allied coun- tries. The nations are aghast al thought of the outlook in this wal and at the ruthlessness with whici it is conducted. Sharpened opposi tion will be the only outcome of ; German victory.
 And the worst feature of thi greatest battle in world history is tha it will undoubtedly serve to set bacl the thought of peace with the Ger man people. The greater the vic tory the easier it will be for the mill tary masters of Germany to spea, the view among the people that tn German army is unconquerable an that is required is patience and en durance and then peace will be at tained-a conqueror's peace. great victory at the western front nov will serve to weaken the growing op position of the German people to tn military caste. Through such a vic tory the junkers and pan-Germanist will get the upper hand more tha ever, and the reasonable and peace loving part of the population, an especially the working classes, wi have their influence curtailed.
 "All this the Hohenzollerns an their junker companions know veI well. And that is why they staF everything to make this worlds grea est battle into a worlds greatest vit tory. This is the objective for whic they are ruthlessly sacrificing 'upo the altar of the fatherland' the sol of German mothers and the father of German children. It is for tn objective that the blood of Germs seldie-s flows in streams into u rivers of northern France and then into the ocean. This is the obje tive for which the flower of the Ge man nation is being slaughtered, f which a whole generation is beil wiped out.
 And the Kaiser thanks his G. for the help which. He presumably giving him in this stupendous mu Sdering.
 And the German people?
