GERMANS ANXIOUS
TO Join j. S. ARMY
Spanish Embassy, in Charge
of American interests, Re-
ports Rush of Applicants.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
BERLIN, September 1.-THE Spanish
embassy in Berlin. which Is in charge OF
American affairs pending the ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty, has received so
many applications from regular German
army officers who want to serve in the
american Army that it has posted big
sign on the outer door announcing that
such applications will not be accepted
and that it is useless to apply. The
| number of applicants since has gradu-
ally decreased, but still there are some.
Some of those seeking commissions In
the American Army urged that they
could be Of value in teaching the
Americans how to fight"
There has been a rush also OF German
officers to join other former enemy or
neutral armies. The applicants were
reaGy to serve in either the American,
Frtish, Japanese. Argentine or even the
French forces.
News Writers Receive Inquiries.
=. Every correspondent in Germany. re-
CARELESS of his nationality. has been
bonibarded with queries and personal
applications. In vain did they assure
the officers that their armies would un-
der no circumstances accept German
officers. In vain the explanation was
overburdened with officers and were
making every effort to demobilize them.
Argentina has become more or less
the mecca of the would-be emigrants
from Germany because 1t has adver-
tised through its consulate for agricul-
tural laborers and has offered induce
ments in the way of free land. How
ever those who want most to leave
Germany want least to go to farming.
For those who really want to take up
agriculture the Argentine invitation is
still attractive.
Adopt Ruse to Reach U. s.
Others. determined to reach the United
States by a roundabout route. seek in
Argentina an opportunity to realize
their ambition by first going there and
then taking a chance of going on to the
United States.
Those who contemplate this ruse over
look the possibility of trouble both in
Argentina and the first American port
they reach. "A young German woman
sat in a Berlin hotel lobby last night
telling her companions In voice loud
enough for bystanders to hear that
She intended to get to America through
the Argentine if necessary by swearing
that she had been in the United States
before. She admitted that this was I'M
true. but added that "a little white lie
could do no harm"
Many German writers on 1rnrnlgrd-
ton urge that Germany can i'll spare
single man. the taxes he pays or the
labor he does. They also point out that
hotel keepers Of Belgium and Italy have
resolved not to employ Germans for
ten years and that 1--WE years must
elapse before the Germans may live in
China or Singapore. They declare that
the American workmen will oppose Ger
man immigration to the utmost because
of the possible effect of wages, and say
a similar inimical spirit exists in Aus
tralia and other British dominions.

ENGLAND MUST PAY
HIGH PRICES FOR FOOD
There Will be Enough to Eat Next
Winter But It viii Cost Much
Money

York, Eng, Correspondence of the
Associated Press Abundance of i'm
ported meat, bacon cheese, margarine
rice, tea, sugar and apples is assured
the people of Great Britain the coming
winter by the authorities but home
grown products, such as milk, meat,
butter and dried fruits, it is said, will
be scarce and costly.
Meanwhile the government food
control will continue in order that rich
and poor alike may share in the avail
able supplies. Nothing like the hard
ships endured during the last two
years Of the war is anticipated be-
cause the government supervision
and distribution will not be so rigor-
ious as when Haigs army had its
back to the wall.
The expense of feeding and fatten-
ing cattle is the factor that will make
home grown meat scarce. Hay and
cat crops are abnormally short, and
root yields in some parts of the coun-
try are almost failure. Cattle
cake. which will have to be used
more freely, is more expensive than
last year
The same considerations apply to
milk. The price for August was fixed
at 6S cents per gallon to the dairy
man, and for September at rs cents.
Last winter 1t was 20 cents quart,
but higher prices are expected the
coming winter.
There is plenty of tea in the coun-
try, but transportation systems are
so out OF joint dealers say. it Will
cost more to handle and distribute it,
Bacon prices are rising in America.
which makes the British price Port
and dock delays due to strikes and
the general apathy of labor, con.
tribute to higher prices.
Nobody is worrying about sugar ex-
cept as to price. The sugar commits.
sion has been very active in the gen
eral market, and has obtained enough
to last the country until the end Of
the year at prices which, it is declar-
ed, are little below the average Of
Europe, but, of course, much higher
than the American price. If the com
mission had to go into the market
now it would be compelled to pay as
much for sugar as the present retail
price, and as it will likely have to do
that early next year the consumer ex-
poets to pay more.
Apples are high and scarce, the
controlled price being Is cents a
pound. 1t is expected, however, that
the fine crop here in England win
serve to reduce this prices materially
before the winter comes
Bakers and the government expect
an increase in the cost of bread.
There are abundant wheat supplies
impossible. So England must depend
on the United States and Canada
which. the authorities, say means
costlier loayes.
