MERELY RED CLOTH TO HIM
Fact That II Was Cut From country's
Flag Meant Nothing to Ger
man Merchant.

1t is a known fact that the average
German will forget religion, civil
laws, and even his patriotism, IL they
interfere with his chances to drive
home a good bargain. The latest dis
play of this tendency came during the
preparations for the victory ball, which
was given the Fourth of July in the
Enlisted Mems club Mt Andernach. As
no Fourth of July ball would be COIN
plete without "Uncle SAM" several
"Y" girls set out to prepare cos
tune for the revered character. When
1t came to purchasing the red cloth
for the stripes In the trousers, how
ever, 1t seemed that their plans had
gone amiss. Nowhere in Andernach
could a sufficient quantity Of the right
colored material be purchased. Final
ly, one German merchant announced
that he had just what they wanted.
Out of closet at the rear of his shop
he dug a large German flag. Quickly
he cut all the red cloth from 1t. and
sold the material to the girls with the
air of one who had just accomplished
n noble deed.-From the Watch on
the Rhine.
