.HAPSBURC ART OBJECTS
TO Be SOLD AT AUCTION
Dispersal by the Entente Is to
Create a Fund to Buy Food for
the Austrian Poor.

VIENNA, October 20 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-The
Hapsburgs' centuries-ol accumula-
ton of art objects. part of which is
to be sold. is estimated to be worth
$21,C00.O0o. Paintings. rare manu-
scripts. Gobelin tapestries. old orr
entail porcelain. goldsmiths' and sill
versmiths' work by the most famous
Florentine jewelers. and historical
furniture are included. The furni-
ture includes that of the room in
Schoenbrunn Castle occupied by Ma
poleon in 1903
The purpose of the sale. as an
nounced. is to create a fund from
which the poor may he fed for
time. All will not be sold, hat enough
SO it will be the greatest sale in the
history of artistic auctions. The
peace conference ruled these were the
property Of Austria.
Nation Without Credit.
The food that is rationed to the
public now costs 5000. .000. 900 crowns,
and Austria is almost entirely with
out credit. 1t is believed that the re-
turns from the art auction will raise
at. least Il portion of one years sup
plies.
The Gobelin tapestries from the
Schoenhrunn Castle Of the late En-
peror Franz Josef alone are valued
at 2.ooG.000.000 crowns other art;-
cies to he sold include the treasures
Of the hoftalelkammer (court table
chamber). including the magnificent
services of pure gold and comprising
many hundred pieces. the work OF
masters in gold work. They were
used by Franz Josef only on very
special state occasions.
Will Be Unusual Auction.
The question how the sale is to be
arranged in order to get as much
money as possible has not yet been
decided. First there must be an un-
derstanding with the entente missions,
since important sales Of state prop
erty cannot be made without their
permission.
The favorite plan. however, if it is
possible. is to place the articles at
a public auction, the most unusual
the world OF art has ever seen. In
that case the auction would probably
take place in London rather than
vienna. for ii is the center of art
auctions for the world. and easier to
reach than Vienna.

BERLIN, Germany, November IL
In the light of the recent statement
by Prof. +. II. Starting. a noted psy-
chologist, to the effect that several
million people will die Of starvation
and cold this winter in Germany, y
have sought reliable information froE
those best qualified TO speak on /hc
subject and give herewith the r/suit
Of the interviews. Prof. Adolf/Gott-
stein, head of the medical depat attment
in the home office, and who haa been
in the health department of tha Ger
man government for thirty years,
told me that Germany faces the most
disastrous winter in her history. Re
garding Prof. Starting, S>-MssertIon. he
said he thought it/s6mewhat eXas-
gerated. unless h epidemic broke
out in which Ase it would be an
underestimate. AT that, he says, IL
is certain th1t more than 100000
will die soleIE from lack of nourish-
meut, unless Vigorous steps are taken
Official figures which he produce
show that fhc pre-war deaths from
tuberculosij were about 10000 a year
In 1918 thefe were $4,000 deaths from
this disea<e, and the number will b"
still higher this year. Among the
younger people there. has been a
frigEful increase in consumption.

mauders in the occupied territories
have allowed goods to come in free OF
duty and many fortunes have been
cleaned up
Prof R15ner laid stress on the
deaths which will be caused by cold.
because no wer1n clothing 10 to be
had and the prices cannot be met for
importation because Of the exchange.
The scarcity OF bandages, bed
the hospitals is keenly felt and is
causing deaths every day. There is

but has made little impression on the

DR.. Gottstein was clearly trying TO
give me accurate information. In the
country, he said, there was no food
shortage. The farmers had plenty to
eat and it was in the great cities;
such as Berlin, where hunger and
cold were working havoc. Two things
needed most to prevent thousands OF
deaths were fats and milks. he said:
Berlin used to have a milk supply OF
/ 100000 Hters (about 1,o0O,ooo
quarts). Now it is about l15.00O liters.
An epidemic among the children TINS
winter would increase the death rate
four or five times.
