TRADE MARK IS OFFENSIVE
From Germany Americans Want Moth

Goods Doomed in U. s.
BY FREDERIC j. HAsKIN,
In CHICAGO Daily News.

Washington, D. C.-For the first
time in over 80 years, American stores
are practically emptied of German
toys. Only a few bisque dolls re-
main, and in most cases these have
been carefully packed away until some
distant day when American toy buy
ers shall have become reconciled to
the trade mark Made in Germany"
Today this trade mark is not only
unpopular-it is offensive. Americans
will still buy Turkish rugs, Austrian
musical comedies and Bulgarian color
combinations. but from Germany they
want nothing but souvenirs of victory.

Knocked far off. In the meantime
the soldier boys jumped for their lives
toward the deck of the little destroyer.
Many would land and be rushed into
the matches. Others would miss the
distance, jump and drop into the sea.
Still others would strike each other in
the long jump from the high deck of
the Otranto to the swash deck of the
Mounsey; some would land on the
deck of the Mounsey with broken
limbs and be washed overheard.

The .Mounsey was veered of several
times by powerful blows from the
steel sides of the pounding Otranto.
One side near the stern was battered
in like an old tin can. Her engineer
signaled to Lieut.. Craven that the de-
stroyer could stand no more; she would
go down If another effort was made to
run alongside the big ship. But Craven
took the chances. He manipulated the
little ship with great skill and got
another hundred American soldier
boys. In all he saved about 600, Ieav-

these were lost in the effort to Jump
