Where Americans Have Charge of
Things In Germany.
Born Of a fort, half surrounded by
forts, and under the shadow Of for

headquarters Of the Army Of Occupa-

mental snapshot Of typical German
military city," says a bulletin just is

when Augustus Caesar sent Drusus
to conquer the people Of the Rhine re-
gion that brilliant general built half
hundred forts along the river, and
around some Of these sprang up cities.
Thus Coblenz originated. Drusus later
set out to conquer the Elbe district,
but is said to have desisted when he
saw a womanly figure Of monstrous
size who told him he was about to die.
On his way back his horse threw him.
The injury was fatal.
"Frankish kings lived at Coblenz. In
the eleventh century the city obtained
a charter and for 500 years it was
ruled by archbishop electors. 1t -four

The Great Clock Of Strasbourg.-
The great clock Of the cathedral has
been for nearly six centuries an object
of public curiosity and amusement
The astronomical clock was first built
by the Bishop Bercthold Of Birchegg
in 1852, and was completed two years
later by the Bishop John Of Lichten-
berg. The clock originally occupied
the space facing that which it occupies
at present in the southern transept.
Besides various astronomical devices
Indicating the true solar time, it has a
great planetarium in which the revolu+
ton of the planets is represented, so
that the relative position of each at
any time can be seen at glance. Then'
on an elevated platform, are moving
figures representing the four ages OF
man.
On a still higher platform is nat
ural-sized figure Of Jesus, and at noon
the twelve apostles pass before the feet
Of their master, bowling low. AS Peter
passes a large and marvelously lifelike
cock flaps his wings, ruffles his feath-
ers and crows three times very loudly
and naturally. The clock was definite
ly completed in 1874, to be destroyed
during the revolution Of 1889. But in
1912, a Strasbourg artist named Sch
wielgue built the clock which still ex-
lists and is a faithful copy of the old
timepiece.

a series of misdemeanors.

had tried every form of punishment.

benevolent old lady.

At the close Of the visit the old lady
asked the boy If he would call and see
her on the following Saturday. A boy
arrived promptly at the hour appoint

lot Of pictures, and set before him a
delicious lunch in her best china.
Then she thought it about time to
begin her little sermon.

RUSSIA IN BAD PLIGHT.
State Department Makes Public Some
Important information.

Important Information.
The additional light on the situa-
ton in the portions OF Russia under
Bolshevik control is given by q sum-
mary of reports obtained recently from
a number of refugees who passed
through Helsingfors on their way from
Moscow to Stockholm. The summary
was made public Friday by the state
department because of the various con-
flicting accounts OF conditions which
have been received recently.
"The party at Helsingfors," said the
summary, was composed OF French
Belgian and Italian citizens, most OF
them Red Cross workers. The reports
all agree as to the excessive cost OF
all necessaries and the scarcity of food.
Dog meat is quoted at four rubles (S2)
a pound, horse meat at 15 rubles per
pound, pork at 16 rubles and bread at
Is rubles. The country is practically
stripped of all manufactured articles,
especially wearing apparel, and all
grain and supplies are requisitioned by
the soviet government from peasants
who receive nothing in return.
"Typhus is reported to be spreading,
1000 new cases being reported at Mos
cow weekly and the hospitals are un-
able to take care of them. Lack of
milk has resulted in many deaths OF
children from starvation. The food
situation in Russia is very bad and the
food is distributed in three categories,
a full portion to those doing heavy
work, a half portion to employees OF
the soviet government and private
houses and general office work and
one-fourth portion to people not en-
gagged in any occupation.
The portions depend on the supply
at hand, full portion generally being
one pound of bread daily. Soldiers
get an army portion Of two pounds OF
bread, half pound of meat daily and an
additional monthly allowance of two
and one-half pounds Of fats.
"An clothes and other necessaries
can only be secured through permis-
sion of the government by cards and
at fixed prices.
1.-THE rumor as to the naturalization
of women is not true although such
a decree had been issued by the COM
missair of Saratoy, but was imme-
diately cancelled by the soviet gov
ernment and the commissair promptly
dismissed.
at is not known that any serious
conflict exists between Trotzky and
Lenine. The Bolshevik power is main
tanned by force Of arms and terror as
well as by an elaborate system of spy
ing and the control of the population
by the Bolsheviki is reported to be
more effective and severe than under
the regime of the car.
Most of the factories have been
obliged to shut down and those that
are still running do not produce one
third of the normal output. AS a re-
suit of the closing of the factories,
workmen are leaving the cities and in
dustrial districts for the villages where
the situation is equally as bad as the
majority of the peasants refuse to do
any more work than is absolutely nee
essary 70 rtheir sustenance as they are
required to sell all surplus to the gov
ernment at very low prices and receive
paper currency in which they have no

Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit, and make
money. Food and grain are higher IN
proportion than are present cotton

It's a time above all others to play

acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
