Conditions in Germany.

Berlin. Feb. 2S.-Foreigners resi-
lent or staying temporarily in Berlin
have been ordered again to report TO
the police
When the revolution broke out :he
rigid rules concerning registration OF
aliens were summarily wiped out
along with other police regulations,
for which Berlin was famous. The
new freedom thus accorded visitors
proved expensive for Germany. as it
opened her frontiers to a promiscuous
influx of foreigners. especially Rus
slams who showed themselves to be
skillful in eluding the police dragnet
which was thrown out in connection
with the widespread Bolsheviki :i,si-
tation.
Besides foreign political agitato"s,
criminal elements from all parts of
Germany were attracted to Berlin by
the disorders which made the capital
a Lucrative field for their operations
The ten weeks administration or
former Chief of Police Eichhorn
served to.wreck almost completely
the efficient police organization for
which Berlin was well kl.cwn.
The work of rehabilitating the sys-
tenn is proceeding slowly but with de-
termination.

would have been 90.595.000 bushels or
Il per cent Of the available surplus.
This was on the largest corn crop. the
effect on n smaller crop will be even
greater
"A reduction of this kind in the
