And Still They Go

ky, good looking tuck driver for
the George Reading Company, has
applied for enlistment i'll the spe-

them three small hams for 600 marks
($14G. The cyclers offered 1000
mark bank note in payment, and SO got
400 marks in change. Well satisfied
with their booty they began pedalling
for Berlin; but, alas, they were halted
by gendarme before they had proceed
ed far. He hailed them before a magis-
trate, who confiscatcd not only the
hams, but also their bicycles; and he
even took 100 pounds Of flour that they
had bought somewhere. The wheels and
the -four were deposited in the attic of
the magistrates house-a fact which
the enterprising Berliners did not fail to
note.
At night they mounted to the roof of
the house, entered the attic through a
dormer- window, and recovered both BIZ
cycles and flour, besides 200 cans of
preserved foods. Then they made an
other dash for Berlin, but the gendarme
was soon upon their heels once more.
He got near enough to send a few shots
after the fugitives, but they made good
their escape.
1t was the poor peasant, however,
who had to foot the bill for their esca-

Two Sides of His Mouth
O-ooat war! Pooh! We have Give ships once,
enough ships. or am lost!

Is to April Is; and from January 1 to
April 10 there were 1911 burglaries, or
$40 month. To illustrate how serious
conditions have grown, he shows that the
burglary losses of these six companies in
greater Berlin from January to April
Is this year amounted to 1887 900.
whereas they had amounted for the whole
year 1915 to only $4,000 In other
words, the monthly loss is now nearly
thirteen times greater than three years
ago.
Between hunger, nakedness and crime.
however, many Germans are still able to
join IN the revelry around the golden
calf. The newspaper columns bear wit
ness to this, containing many advertise
ments of goods classed as Injuries. In
the columns of the Berlin papers adver-
tlsements OF persons wanting to bay Per-
sian and other Oriental rugs iostle each
other, and jewellers advertisements are
plentiful. The consumption of cham
payne is a striking illustration of the
tendency to jollity and indulgence of the
appetite for Injuries. Before the war
the yearly consumption of Germany was
about 100000 bottles of champagne.
but during 1914 it dropped to less than
half Of that amount. Last year, however,
the consumption was estimated at con-
siderably more than 2O,0OO,0 900 bottles.
Amuserents, too, are kept up on law
isl scale. One light operetta celebrated
recently its 800th consecutive perform
ance at Berlin; and it is still given be-
fore crowded houses.

Kladderodatsch, Berlin.

DR.. Roesicke, the president of the Great
Agrarlan League, calculated to knock
very wide breach through the present
1000 control system in behalf of the
agricultural classes. He demanded that
certain proportion of the grain and
potato crops be exempted from control
and distribution by the state upon the
card system. Of course, the people Of
the cities we're up in arms at once
against this proposal. The Berlin city
government gave expression to the gen
eral protest by declaring that the Roe
sickle plan would "paralyze the war or
ganlzatlon for feeding the urban popu-
latlon." 1t further declared that "everv
ton of grain was now needed to sustain
the people even on a scanty basis; and
1t was no time to adopt a system con.
ceived exclusively in the interest of the
producers and the rich consumers. The
discussion of the food control system
called forth in connection with this mat
ter indicated that, while it is regarded
as having many imperfections, still it is
far and away better than to leave the
food supplies wholly at the mercy of the
Spectator and hoarder.
Notwithstanding the scarcity Of food,
however, the latest mortality reports of
Greater Berlin would seem to indicate
that the vital forces Of the people cam
not be suffering severely. The mortal
lty rate there was considerably less dur
ing the winter of 1917-'18 than in the
previous winter, which had shown a con-
siderable increase. 1t was noted, in par
tlcular, that a marked decrease in the
deaths of older people and of the young
from infectious children's diseases had
been recorded.
The scarcity Of food, moreover, is
supplying material for humorous writ
ers. Here is the outline of little food
comedy, described in the local columns
of Berlin paper under the caption:
Dear Hams:
Three Berlin "y~sters" (hoarders of
food mounted their bicycles for food
forage. Securing the country far and
wide, they came at last to village in
the Province of Posen, where they found
a peasant with supplies and willing
ness to risk something. He finally sold

more freely forcible measures would be
adopted. "In which case" it added, "a
light will be thrown into the wardrobe
OF every individual and an inventory of
clothing supplies made"
1t is still possible in the shops of Berlin
to buy a few all-leather shoes, but at
very high prices. Of course, there are
maximum prices; but buyers and sales
girls have found ways and means to beat
the price-tixers. An official notice points
out that clerks in shoe stores are insist
ing upon gifts of food in some form
often a pound of butter few eggs-or
theatre tickets along with every pair of
all-leather shoes sold. Shopkeepers are
then warned that this is illegal, and that
they are running the risk of having their
shops closed up by the authorities.
Old Professor Won Hertling, otherwise
known as the Imperial Chancellor, is
signing his name to some queer docu-
ments nowadays. One Of his latest de-
crees prohibits the illegitimate use Of
the word "soap." There are now so
many substitutes for that useful COM
modify, and all of them calling them
selves soaps of some kind, that it has

4 dventures in the
a Stock EXCHANGE

At the same time, the Boerse. or stock
exchange, was having such a boom as it
has not had since the war began. Some
of the financial writers go even further
and say that there was never such a
boom even before the war The papers
report that one can hear youngsters On
the streetcars near the Boerse boast
ing of what they pocketed from their
last Operation" in this or that indus
trial. At the banks, especially at the
many branches of the big banks, the
employees, including many young women
who have now become bank clerks, or
ganize petty pools for specializing in
stocks
Thus the wild hubbub on the Boerse
was kept at fever heat, and stock prices
were carried to higher and higher levels.
Not few companies had found it neces-
sary to warn the public against specu-
lating in their shares at present prices,
which, they said, were by no means JUS
titled by the prospects of their business.
Nevertheless, their warnings were I'M
hiNSNCdt hIlN pIlCcS COUIlnuCQ TO be
pushed up.
The financial reviews agreed that the
causes for this wild revel of specula-
ton, which was restricted to the outside
public, were chiefly political. There was
much use made, indeed of the fact that
many companies were earning very big
profits; but the one fact that dazzled the
eyes of this wild army of lambs" was
the military success of the German arm
les. They believed that Hindenburg was
scoring such big results that he would
soon be able to dictate peace on Ger
man terms.
1t is interesting to note, finally, that
cabled reports of the past week indi-
Gated that the Berlin Boerse is now weak
and very dull. Apparently the Austrian
Sasco has cooled off the hotheads at
Berlin, and they are thinking more So
berly and sensibly about the military
situation.
A terrible defamation of the German
nobility is one of the noteworthy effects
OF the war, which may be not without eff
tects upon Germany's political future.
According to statistics just published, not
less than 270 counts and 633 barons have
fallen. Still heavier have been the losses
OF the lower nobility bearing the title of
won" From these S43 of the older
nobility have fallea, while the newer, or
patent" nobility has lost S3S of its
members. There has thus been total loss
OF 1852 men of noble rank Famous old
families have suffered heavily in losses.
Not less than twenty-five Wedels have
fallen, twentyone Arnims, and seventeen
bulows, all Of noble rank. Seven
Counts Donna and the same number of
Counts Fink Won Finkenstein have been
kllAd.

he Question of Clothes
L Is a Vexing One

In the general scarcity the lack of
wearing apparel is growing more and
more acute. The newspapers tell of
collection of suits Of secondhand cloth
ing now being taken up in Greater Ber-
lin for munition workers. People were
appealed to sell their outer garments to
the clothing Office for the makers of
artillery and munitions; but these ap-
peals, though dressed out in the usual
patriotic phrases, had most disappont-
ing result. Hence, the clothing Office
Instructed it's appraisers to grant more
liberal terms, and advertised that it

ments offered by mail Then newspa-
per notice on the subject minated

The Prediction That Colt
! Would Do His Duty

Thus the lean spring was ushered out
and summer was greeted with hopeful, if
not satisfied, stomachs. Good rains fell
toward the end Of May and ended a
drought that had seemed to threaten the
grain and vegetable crops. The official
crop statisticians were accordingly busy
predicting that the old German God
would again do his duty toward Deutsch-
tum. The first fruits Of natures good
gifts had already garnered in the shape
Of early cherries. The papers reported
that the first arrivals of these had just
come upon the Berlin market. But at
such prices! Sixty to seventy-fve cents
pound! DeEcacies, it would seem,
within the reach of the "war profiteers"
only!
The advertising columns Of the news
papers also gave abundant evidences
that GUNNER was approaching. Adver-
tsements of summer resorts and hotels
Tor vacation takers occupied many col
umns of the Sunday editions. Many OF
Forest and other beautiful regions of
South Germany. And these South Ger
man places present just now special at
fractions to the hungry Berliners and
other townspeople in North Germany.
There is much better feeding in the
South, with its rich agricultural districts
and pretty rigid prohibition covering
the shipping of food to other parts.
The governments of the South Ger
man states are keenly aware of the dam
ger Of their food supply from the
hungry army of summer visitors. Hence,
they sent representatives this spring to
conference at Heidelberg to agree
Upon some plan for restricting the SUM
Msr visitor traffic" Not long ago the
minister of the Interior Of Written
"erg reported to the legislature OF that
state that the conference had agreed to
restrict the stay of outsiders at the
summer resorts in all these states TO
Nfee weeks; and strict measures were
greed upon making it impossible for
visitor, after staying out his three weeks
az one resort, to prolong his "cure" at
smother. Moreover, the various towns
we're given the right to protect them
seves against the flood of visitors by
Nsng in advance the number that they
sould accommodate Thus, after all,
Ae hungry North Germans will not be
i'sfmitted to feed without limit upon
wy abundance of the south.
=, me food question, of course, con-
~aues to be one of the acute troubles Of
W. people. The latest papers give much
S'acusslon to a proposal put forth by
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-07-07

yond that, the English fleet must be re-
police duty at sea; then England must
give up Gibraltar, Malta and other great
naval stations and level their fortifica-
tons with the earth. Until these con-
ditions are carried out Germany must
retain Belgium; after they are carried
out the Flanders coast would have no
particular value for Germany.
But that is not all. The writer de-
mands that Germany shall be indemni-
fled for the loss Of it's foreign trade, and
there must be adequate guarantees in
the peace treaties to secure Germany the
freest access to supplies Of raw materi-
ais. Also, Germany must get back her
colonies, with indemnities to cover losses
caused there by the war. Failing to get
back the colonies outright, Germany
must demand that all the colonial pos
sessions of the world be pooled and then
divided out among the great powers.
One characteristic fact must be men,
toned in connection with this discus
sion Of peace offensive. 1t was insist
ed in various quarters, namely, that the
military authorities should have voice
in formulating peace terms. The Ger
MANIA" the leading Catholic organ,
which is regarded as specially influen-
tial under the Won Hertling regime, ad-
vised the government against publish
ing its peace terms before coming to an
understanding with the "army COM
mand," which means Hindenburg and
Ludendorff. In similar tone the "Kol-
nische Zeitung" urged that the German
rulers, in fixing peace terms, Should
confer with the diplomats and the
supreme army command" The shock
which the American public would re-
ceive if the Administration should ask
General Pershing what peace terms we
should accept would give good hypo-
thetical measure of the difference be-
tween Germany and the United States
in respect to the position of the military
power.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-07-07
Trying to Bolster a Tenacious Delusion

as a completely independent state; the
English know that Germany will keep
its hand, permanently and for all future
time, upon this land, with its important
coast, in spite Of all weakened and per-
aicious majority resolutions" Of the
Reichstag. Kirchhoff goes on to say that
only through a thoroughgoing defeat of
England can Germany get the colonial
possessions and the high war indemni-
ties that will be needed by it's cripples
and industrial workers. Only by such
victory can German industries get at
once the needed raw materials.
Another political ex-naval officer is
Rear-Admiral Kalau vom Hofe, who is
now blowing the war trumpet furiously
in the German press. Writing in the
"Vossische Zeitung," he expressed the
fear that Hindenburg is now pressing
the Allies so strongly that they will
break down all at once and come for
ward with peace proposals before Ger
many shall have definitely fixed her
terms of peace. Hence he fears that
1--WE shall be taken unawares, as it were,
with seemingly favorable conditions for
an armistice and rapid conclusion of
peace" Kalau vom Hofe will accept only
q peace that guarantees sufficiency Of
raw materials for keeping the German
Industrial population busy. can arms
tice at sea-" he says, could only be ac-
ceptable to US when our contiscated ships
come home fully laden with raw materi-
ais, or when England and Germany have
reached a fair agreement regarding raw
materials and tonnage" Perhaps the
admiral is giving us Il "kalauer," which
is German for an Irish bull.
Compared with these bellicose admi-
rails, the "Frankfurter Zeitung' may be
compared to a mild-mannered shepherd
piping on reed to his flock; yet the
music is the same. Here is what the
"Frankfurter Zeitung" said about the be-
ginning of June: "The victory of Ger
many is now SO manifest to all the world
that it can no longer be placed in doubt
