COFFEE, 81 A POUND

Samples Of Food Prices Which Make
Germany Willing to Exchange

With the American Army on the
French Front. July 29---In Germany
a pound of coffee costs more than 81
in these days, while pound OF pota-
toes costs slightly less than so cents
OF these commodities one is an Inn
ported luxury and the other a staple
vegetable of the country, so they may
be taken as a barometer OF prices and
an indication of the Limitation of food
in that belligerenr country. The prices
were given by a French mother. who,
with her four children, was repatri-
ated after being a German prisoner
since the beginning OF the war.
Scarcity of food and fears of
famine during the coming winter
were the reasons which made Ger
many agree to exchange prisoners and
caused her to be especially anxious
to send back women no longer able
to work. Civilians. whose vitality has
been impaired by the hardships they
have been compelled to endure, suffer
greatly. Eggs are 80 cents each.

state allows the dealers to charge IA

KEEP SCHOOLS GOING"
MESSAGE OF EUROPE

Furope's lesson TO the United States
in an educational way as a result OF
the war is to keep the schools going.
according to an announcement by the
bureau of education entitled "Europe's
Educational Message to America"
Frances message. as reported by
John H. Finley. of New York, In his
report on French schools in war time,
reads:
do not let the needs of the hour,
however demanding its burdens or
peris, make you unmindful of the
defense Of tomorrow. Conserve, en-
dure taxation and privation. suffer
and sacrifice, to assure to those whom
YOU have brought into the world that
1t shall not only be a safe place. but
n happy place for them"
H. A. l.. Fischer president of the
English board of education, ssys
AT the beginning of the war, when
first the shortage OF labor became
apparent, raid was made upon the
schools great raid successful
raid. a raid started by a large body
of unrefiecting opinion, The result
of that raid upon the schools has
been that hundreds of thousands OF
children in this country have been
prematurely withdrawn from school
and have suffered an irreparable
damage, damage which it will be
quite impossible fer us hereafter
adequately to repair. That is very
grave and distressing symptom"
