GREAT SUMS STOLEN
 BY CHIEF E|CHHORN

BERLIN.-Enormou amounts of public money were diverted into the pockets of the Spartacans during the revolution in Berlin last winter, which was led by the then Chief of Police Eichhorn, according to in formation obtained by a parliament ary commission which is investigat- ing the administration of the fu- g.tive former police chief.
 Police officials who have exam ined Eichhorn's ledger say it is im- possible to determine how great was the amount taken by the Spartacans. Evidence has been submitted that Eichhorn's security guard who was on duty at the railway station dur ing the outbreak helped himself to six million marks of army funds which had been brought from Ru- mania.
 Auditors asserted that Eichhorn made frequent raids on the official treasury through faked acquisitions, and even drew funds for which no accOuntS were repdare5 Tn ora ;p stance, these are alleged to have tctaled more than three hundred thousand marks.
 One hundred thousand cigars and ITO smoked hams which were con- fscated by the old police regime have mysteriously disappeared.

at least, and keen for the game.
1t would be a sad indictment OF the business of
farming were it not that modern farm machinery
and the application of business methods to farming
are making these cases fewer year by year.
Farm work is hard but the periods of over-ac-

comparatively little TO do And if the farmer will
