financing as it is practiced by the executive committee of the Berlin council of soldiers and wOrkmen prom ises 70 lead to interesting revelations when the final accounting takes place. Out-oftown delegates who are present for the congress of councils now Tn session. charge the Berlin executive committee with extravaganza and gen. eral inefficiency and this seems only mildly to characterize the real con ditions.
 Much curiosity has been aroused through the contradicting statements that have been made by the treas urer of the committee and the Taes- lische Runschau asks: Whence comes the moneys?-
 It calls attention to the fact that soldiers and workmen's council at tached to the home general staff as serts that G00,000 marks of the off cial army funds were seived in the early days of the revolution. whereas, only 450.O00 were reported.
 Tt is imperative to establish" adds the newspaper. "whether tne full sun seized was delivered 10 the eNecutlfe committee or whether the persons i'm plicated in the seizure made private disposition of part of the money"
 The congress yesterday by an over whelming vote, declared itself in favor of the new central committee to be appointed, assuming the finan- cial legacy of the retiring board, claiming the latter to be a purely Der lin organization.
 In the corridors of the house of deputies yesterday it was asserted that among other items of receipts and expenditures which could not be traced through bad revolutionary bookkeeping, was the sum of 350.000 marks, comprising official funds seized but the ultimate disposition of which had not yet been established.

 Detectives and decoys are not only necessary, but piaiaaWOg;hy n- struments in ascertainine crime the judge declared, but detection exceeds it's limits when the detective or decOy ptovokes or creates a crime that otherwise would not have occurred.
 Captain Fancher. by his own state ment, demanded money which he never expected, in terms which seemed to say, If you don't promise to pay secretly money 1o me, you don't get the government contract This was the trap or )decoy. This. in my. judgment, is going beyo2d ail bounds
 Under such circumstances the gov ernmenc is estopped from prosecuting on the ground that it caused and created that of which complaint is made"

Turin today celebrated the 52nd
anniversary Of the entrance of Victor
Emanuel II into the redeemed pro-
vince of Venice, which had just been
liberated finally from the Aus
trians.
The initiative. for this celebration
was taken by. the refugees from the
invaded districts of Italy of whom
there are, between seven and eight
Thousand at Turin alone. The ma
tority of these are from the province
of Venice itself, and the celebration
of the anniversary of the original
liberation of the province has the
Significance of fresh pledge to at
tain it's liberation for the second
time.
Following the morning program
the refugees marched in procession to
lay a wreath on the monument of
Daniele Manin, Venetian patriot.
The greater portion of the exer-
cises were in the gardens of the royal
palace in the presence of Prencess
Letitia of Savoy-Bonaprate and the
young duchesses, daughters of the
Duke of Genoa, who in the absence
Of King Victor Emanuel at the front,
is acting as regent on the throne of

OUCH! PRICE OF MEAT
I'm PARIS is CUT TO 81
(By United Press. J

Paris, Oct IS. (By Mail.)-There
is a piteous wall coming from the
aEgrieved Paris restaurant owners.
The French food minister Is fore
ing them to serve luncheon at 20
francs (about $4.) And the res
taurant owners arc having meetings,
conferences, consultations, and dis
cussions. But the food minister Is
adamant- hearted. He says If they
don't lower the prices in the better
class restaurants so that it will be
possible to get a lunch con consisting
OF soup, meat, vegetables. dessert, Or
dinary wine and coffee for 81, he'll
order them to serve table d'hote
luncheons at fixed prices. Which
would be terrible with the town full
of Americans.
or course, If the patron Of the res
turants insists upon ordering things
not included in the "four-buck'
luncheon, the restaurant owner can
get his revenge upon the food min
lister.
The general public that has to
stretch an ineiastic 20franc note
over whole weekss luncheons is
little sympathy upon the
harried restaurant owners.

MANS SUIT COSTS
$500 In AUSTRIA
BY Henry Wood

Omitted Press Correspondent.)
Rome, Oct. 6. (By Mail. )---Men' s
clothing in Austria Hungary now
costs from two to three hundred
dollars suit, while women's tailor
made gowns average from three hun
dred to four hundred dollars each,
according to the "Krejcovsky Listy,"
the official organ of the Tcheque
(Czech) tailors in the dual mon-
archy.
Copies of the last number of this
periodical have just reached Rome
teresting details as to the present
cost of clothing at Vienna and Buda-
pest. According to this trade Jour-
nal all Of the cloth manufactured in
the dual monarchy since the begin
ming Of the war is absolutely worth
less and the sTcheque tailors practic-
ally refuse to. make it up into suits
and women's gowns for the reason
that the result is not worth the cost
of the labor expended on it.
The only cloth that remains in
Austria-Hungary that is fit for cloth
Ing consists Of the few remnants of
stocks that existed there before the
war. This was largely cloth Of
foreign manufacture and what is
left of it commands fabulous prices.
For mans suit, cloth averages
eighty dollars yard lining, thirty
two dollars a yard; flannel, twenty
two dollars a yard, and lining for
the pockets ten dollars a yard.
To overcome this situation the
government is planning to manu-
facture a single style of cloth and to
issue ..ckets to the civil, population
permitting them to have suits from
it. In this connection the same re-
quirement that already is in force in
Germany will be adopted, namely,
every person ordering a new suit
from this government cloth first
must turn over to the government
clothing department, his old suit.
The same rule also will apply to
women's dresses and dress goods
Under new arrangements for sale
of government shoes, no one is al
lowed to purchase pair unless the
shoe census of last May shows he
had only one pair Of shoes at that
time.

Three Men and the Vision They Saw
By BRUCE. BARTON

By Bruce BARTON
In certain city dwell three men. And by
accident of birth one Of them is Catholic and
one is Protestant and one IS a Jew.
For thirty years they have engaged IN bust
ness side by side and the Catholic has not dealt
with the Protestant; and the Catholic and the
Protestant have had no dealings with the Jew;
"What is he to met" each man has said.
"He is not of NV faith: will avoid him."
So for thirty years they have dwer togeenef'
strangers in friendl world:
Then came the shadow Of fearful war.
And out of those three homes three boys went
forth alone Three fathers waited heart~wotn
for the letters from over there.
"There are Soldiers of Friendliness over
here" the boys wrote home. "Ihey bring US
chocolate, and motion pictures, and 6aseball'
and good lectures; and the memory OF mother
and of God."
"Help those friendly agencies when you have
the chance" each boy wrote home.
So it happened that the three fathers found
themselves working shoulder to shoulder IN
great campaign for funds.
Not as a Catholic and Protestant and
Jew-bue as good citizens united IN common
cause.
And as they worked they came to know each
other, and they were ashamed that tor SO many
years they had been strangers side by side
'Surely this is ono Of the compensations OF
war;" they said, THAT in our deeper love tor
our boys we have learned new respect tor ono
another"
So new spirit was born into that city. AS
though in it's heart it had discovered something
of the greater religion, whose, God is Father;
and whose faith and creed are love.
