MADE IMMORTAL BY GOETHE
Leipzig Tavern in Which Poet LOCATED
Scene in Faust" Was Well
Known Gathering Place.

Auerbaeh's cellar was O tavern at
Leipzig which disappeared In 1912. 1t
owed its chief fame to Goethe, who In
this place located the scene in Faust"
wherein Mephistopheles, standing up
On q wine cask, takes his flight into
space with Doctor Faust, TO the stupe-
faction of the guests drinking at the
tables. The old building to which the
eellar belonged was built by Doctor
Stromer d'Auerbach at about 1929, the
worthy doctor there storing the wine
intended for his own use. Later, as
the wine was good he conceived the
Idea of selling it. In this way was es-
kabliShed the tavern to which his
name has been attached ever since.
From the earliest years of the seven
teenth century legend has placed In
this cellar the famous adventure of
Faust and Mephistopheles. Goethe,
studying at Leipzig university from
i765 to 1868, frequented that cellar al
most nightly and there talked with
his friends of art, literature and pol
tiles, and thus he heard of that le-
gend which he turned to such excellent
account, at the same time so very
greatly enriching the literature of his
country.

It has been suggested that one thing
that would bring Germany to realiz-

than anything else, would be concerted
action on the part Of the powers OF
the world now fighting for civilization,
in declaring that they would admit no
German goods within their borders for
period of 10 or Is years after the
war. But It Is not easy TO get the pow
