GERMANS LIKE / TREATMENTBY
 AMERICANS

BERLIN, March IS Correspond ence of the Associated Press) Be lated announcemnt of Americas &C., tion last December in abolishing re- strictions upon movements of enemy aliens in the United States is pub lished prominently in the morning papers. The delay is understood to be due to the fact that the German government has only just been in formed of the action. ..
 While the news, according to semi-official announcemnt, now is pub lished to reassure relatives and friends of Germans in America, it un- doubtedly is intended to contribute to the very general feeling among the German people that the United States is treating the conquered enemy as fairly and considerably as possible. It also is likely to increase the reali- zatiOn even among classes of which Count Reventlow is an exponent that Germany must rely upon the services of America as an advocate to obtain what she considers just and reason able terms of peace and eventual re- storation to place in the family of nations.
 Germans of all classes constantly comment upon the courteous and con- siderate behavior of officers and soldiers of the American Army of Oc- cupation. Writing personal letters and communication from the American zone of occupation, they never fail to emphasize this. Though disappointed at the delay in sending food and the amount of it eventually granted, the American soldier or civilian in Ger many everywhere is received as an honored guest. The hatred and abuse which was vented upon Americans be- fore Americas entry into the war has been replaced by all almost officious, super-friendliness.
 The COTfepOHueHl ol CHe ld6epidI' who has just visited Coblenz and the American zone comments on the ri orous discipline' imposed upon Am' erican officer and soldiers to obviate the possibility of annoyance to women and to the civil population and upon absence of chauvinism, theatrical dis play of triumph or unnecessary inter,

ference with the German civil au' thorites.
 The correspondents chief criticism of the Americans is based upon the strictness with which orders are en- forced against the exchange of gifts, food or cigarettes between Americans and Germans. He says that 23 of the 66 sentences imposed upon Germans by the American court in Coblenz in January were for unauthorized pos session of American property arising from the enforcemnt of this order. He tells of the case of one American off cer who was cashiered merely for putting his arm around waitress in a cafe"

BODIES OF FLU VICTIMS
 ARE MUTuATED BY ~ STARVING CANNES

Harry Ashton and Peter Brandt, members of the first relief party sent to Cape Prince of Wales during the epidemic by the bureau of education, returned to Nome after an absence of about three monhts.
 MT. Ashton states that about one hundred and fifty natives are at pres net living at Wales and the surround ing settlements. Most of the natives who survived the epidemic are re- ported to be in excellent health. The natives were found in a pitful state when the relief party arrived and only their heroic work prevented the entire decimation of the natives.
 Scenes of the most narrowing char acter were witnessed by the relief party upon it's arrival at the Cape. Practically every igloo in the village contained one or more corpse. Num- erous bodies had been mutilated by starving dogs and dismembered human remains were scattered about. With MT. Ashton as medical dispenser the relief party devoted itself wholly to the care of the sick natives. All the dead have been buried and the survivors have been made as comfort able as circumstances would permit.
 On their way to Nome Messrs. Ash ton and Brandt stopped at York and report that the Christensen family is ill good health and have been blessed by the arrival of baby that was born few days before Ashton and Brandt arrived at York. Ashton and Brandt deserve the highest commendation for the splendid work done by them voluntarily and without thought of reward.-Nome Industrial Worker. Suhscrihe for tho Daily Times.

curing an education, according to the
records of the home service section of
the Red Cross which has jurisdiction
over Marion and Polk counties.
The late legislature passed a law Civ
ing returned soldiers 5000 year, for a
limit period of four years to aid them
in securing an education within the
state. The federal government mas also
made provision for those who have a
partial disability, to pay them during a
period of training.
For those who have been partially
disabled, the government agrees to pay
them $50 month while attending vo-
eational school, and if married, 1925 a
month. The 5000 year that the state
gives to aid the returned soldier in his
studies is not paid to the soldier direct,
but at the rate of $25 month to the
head of the Institution which he is at
tending in the state.
OF the 81 who have already sisnified
their intentions of takin" advantage of
the state and federal offer, two will at
tend the Salem high school, four will
take up studies at Willamette Univer-
sity and four will take up course at
the Salem Capital Business college. 9th
ers will attend the 0. A. c.. the Univcr-
sity of Oregon and the Adeox Gas school

| Bacon In Demand
| AT Uncle Sam S Market

Bacon, that good old breakfast
standby, is what the people of Salem
want, Judging by the orders received
today at the postoffiee by those who
arc taking advantage of the govern
Iment 5 sale of surplus army foods 1t
lis bacon in II pound cans, at 35 cents
Ia pound that has been doing the big
business.
And then next to bacon, the call is
for sweet corn and peas each OF which
are packed "A cans to the ease. The
corn figures by the case lot 1914 dehv-
cred, and the peas the same. This is at
the rate of about ll1a cents for can
|of 2A pounds.
About 25 people took advantage of
the government IS sale today spending
on an average of about $40 each.
According to instructions, the post
office officials every where are nor
permitted to send in orders to head
quarters in less than case lots. While
orders will be received for less than
ease, these orders are not sent in un-
less an amount sufficient to make a
ease are received. Should the orders
not equal a case, the money will later
be refunded to the purchaser.
Many families who did order today,
went in with their ncighbors in order
ing ease lots, although most of those
Iwho wanted bacon found the family
could easily get away with case OF
l2 pounds.
AS orders now stand purchases may
be made through the postoffice here
until tho allotment of Salem is sold OF
until the postoffiee officials in Wash
ington change their minds as to the
methods of distribution. In Portland
several stores have taken over the
handling of the army supply foods
inst to relieve the post office force.
