SNuGGLED TO huns
American Officers at Coblenz ASK
British and French Authorities
to Aid Inquiry.

Coblenz, July 12.-American army
officers, who uncovered a plot involv-
ing wholesale thefts of food and 9TH
err supplies, have notified the French
government that American bacon has
been reaching territory outside the oc-
cupied region in Germany in French
railway r
The army Investigators said they
had information which led them to be-
lieve the bacon sold to the French gov
eminent for distribution to French CT
villains and they are anxious to learn
if this bacon was sold to the Germans
in a legitimate manner French and
British authorities have been asked
to cooperate in the investigation.
A surplus of bacon has been found
recently in certain German districts
beyond the Coblenz bridgehead.' In
one instance the American authorities
traced two carloads of bacon and found
they had been shipped back to the
American area. Bacon is selling in
the interior of Germany at from 1e
to Is marks ($4 to $6.50) a pound.
Ingenious methods of smuggling to-
bacco through the neutral zone have
been discovered and the prevention Of
this is giving the authorities trouble
second only to that caused by the mys
FERROUS food shipments.
Recently the Americans found ;
German freight car with a false tol
concealing thousands of cigarettes
which were confiscated. In anothe;
case hundreds Of pounds Of chocolate
and thousands of cigarettes wcr'
found covered with coal in a locomotive
tender. Il
