Berlin, Dec. 2O.-Every dining room

and every place where food is served
In Greater Berlin, city of more than

Around the Back Way.
The proprietors of food-dispensing
establishments have protested vainly
to the government that without deal
ing with representatives of the "sneak
trade" and buying in manner pop
ularly known as "hinterrum." or
around the back way" it is impossi-
BILE to feed the guests and patrons be-
cause the rationing system as eXer-

The government, on the other hand.
adhered to its determination to kill
out the sneak trade" by furnishing
those who patronized it, fearing, it is
said, that as the hotels and restaurants
can afford to pay higher prices for
food they get the best and more
than they are entitled to, which is
arousing the bitterness of the lower
classes and might result in disorders
before the winter is over.
So the eating places of Berlin decid-
ed to see what pressure two days
closing up and the throwing out of
work of 10000 employees will have on
the government. 1t was decided that
guests in the hotels are not TO be
served in their rooms. This affects a

canned food to last the purchasers two
