year of the war do not think that

In closing, 1 wish to add something
which has no bearing whatsoever
upon the main issue OF this article,
but which l think ought to be brought
to attention. A great many of the
Germans that 1 came IN contact with
during my stay there seemed to be
very fond OF the two following ex-

is over, even though we have not been
Victorious" and ~ am attempting to

AS time goes on and more of their
atrocities and intrigues are brought
TO light, people will realize that il has
been a great mistake to allow the
Germans to benefit in the slightest
way by the ending or the war, and
if the thumb-screws or the embargo
are loosened too mucn, the allied ma
tons will regret the decision that
made them permit the armistice, and
as far as allowing the Germans to
forget the war is concerned, that
would be the greatest mistake in the
world.

see the Germans do things that will

absolutely Impossible to buy tobacco
that made you feel that you were
smoking tobacco when you used it.
There was an "ersatz" cigar made
out of cabbage leaves and a very poor
grade of Austrian tobacco. In order
that this cigar would not burn toe
rapidly, the Germans added a deter
ring salt, which makes the cigar glow
when you puff it, and makes you
think that you are smoking the real
thing, as long as some man standing
beside you isn't smoking a good Ha-
vana cigar and blowing the smoke in
your face.
To show you how the embargo has
affected the food prices: I went out
one night to dinner at the Continental
Hotel with an Englishman and a
French captain, who had been a pris-
oner since August 3. 1914 We had a
thin soup. a small piece of fish, a
small piece of chicken, an "ersatz''
dessert, and a small glass of cognac
as a cordial. The bill was 375 marks
without a tip. We never ate there
again.
Plenty OF Vegetables.
Prices like that were to be found
in all of the restaurants. If you at

nourishment in it. There were plenty
OF vegetables and a very poor grade
OF black bread to be had. and the
poorer classes lived entirely on these
two things, with little German wine
The Germans miss their beer, tbs
beverage that they have now being
lacking in malt, which ought to make
them feel very penitent every time
they drink it and realize that if they
had not taken, up this war, they still
would be enjoying their good German
beer.
The food situation in certain parts
Of the country is not as serious as in
the cities, but money has no value in
the country, and you cannot buy food
with it. The German farmers have
gone back to the dark ages and use
a barter and exchange system.
venture to state that could have OBJ
tanned more with some wooden or
linen goods in exchange for nourish-
ing foodstuffs from the German far
mers than another person could have
obtained with a very large sum of
money.
Everywhere you see reflected in the
hungry and gaunt faces of the middle
and lower classes, the British fleet
beyond, patrolling the gray waters Of
the North Sea, blocking ALI possibil-
ties of food coming to starving Ger
many. When / was there, all hopes
were toward America, and 1 was ask
ed a dozen times a day when l thought
she would send food. One German
told me that he thought the English
were worse than barbarians, because
he said they were attempting to
starve 64,0OO.O0O people to death by
their embargo.
Mention might also be made here
of the fact that I had several very in
teresting conversations with Gee
mans who had spent ten to fifteSa
years in America and who spoke
English moderately we'll. 1t seemed

Germany "ersatz" food and "ersatz''

1t always was very amusing to me
to stand in front of the Adlon Hotel
and watch German troops march by,
brought home from the front for de-
mobilization. From the way Berlin
was decorated and the reception. that
the people at home gave the German
troops upon their arrival in Berlin,
the returning soldiers might easily
nave been led to think that they had
been victorious. ....
The American pUblic-is. occasionally
informed by false reports that red
terrorism" faces Germany through
lack of food supplies and raw ma
terials, and that the feeling of bitter
ness that the Germans have for the
allied nations is augmented each day
by the delay in getting food to the
people OF Germany by the missions
handling this work. Whether or not
this report is true does not prevent
Germany from suffering, under the
law Of compensation, for the wrongs
and atrocities that she has committed
during the last four years.
Poorer Glasses Starce.
This much can be said for the food
situation in Berlin-wealthy classes
are eating and the poor classes are
starving. Food OF an "ersatz" nature
is available TO those who have the
wherewithaI to purchase it. but the
greater majority of the people in Ber-
lin belong to the. mass and do not have
sufficient funds to pay the high prices
demanded, even for this substitute

Berlin coffee gould be bought for SO

principally OF acorns. Butter could
be bought for 80 marks a pound, and

WOOL GROWERS
HAVE BIG EXHIBIT
At STATE FAIR
More Than Double the Number
Of Sheep Shown This Year
Than Exhibited Last Fair
Names of Exhibitors.

The sheep show at the state fair this
year Was double in size over last year.
The exhibitors are highly pleased with
the improved exhibit building pro-
vided for them by the state fair man
agement While the building is much
larger than used last year it is too
small to accommodate the big show.
The result was that 1t became neces-
sary this week to build an annex to
the main building.
The exhibitors together with their
breeds are as follows: In the Hamp-
shire class: I. r. Edwards, of kim
berley; III. J. Renck, of Eagle; William
S. Doig, of Boise.
$3.50 coTsWoLD BUCK.
In the Cotswold class: Daymon
Flack, of Merchant j. P. Taft, of
Caldwell. Tafts exhibit includes a
$3.50 buck which he purchased at the
Salt Lake sheep sale recently He is
the highest priced buck in the show.
In the Oxford class: ]. G. Berry &
Son. of Boise; Charles Cairns. of Me-
ridian; j. w. Moore, of Boise.
In the Rambouilette class: II. G..
Peckham, of Wilder.
In the Shropshire class: Jay Brown,
of Meridian
In the Boys and Girls Lamb clubs
there are II entries. They are fine
stuff and a great credit to the chill
dren who raised them.
As regards the sheep show there
never has been higher class OF sheep
displayed at any previous state fair
held in Idaho.
INSTRUCTIVE WOOL EXHIBIT.
The Columbia Wool Warehouse COM
pany of Portland, has in the University
of Idaho tent a very interesting and
instructive exhibit of wool from the
fleece to the yarn. 1t contains a col
lection of 20 grades and classes of in
dividual fleeces, showing everything
from the highest fine wool fleeces to
the poorest low grade and diseased
specimens On each fleece is a card
explaining the reason for the grading
and classification of the wool.
Another demonstration is q series of
samples OF cleaned and secured woods
showing the various steps in the pro-
cess of refining the wool into pure
wool fabrics.
A part specially interesting to the
women is the series of pure wool yarns
and number of samples of the finest
pure wool products as made by the
company making the exhibit
