H. c. L. PINCH MIRAGE;
DECLARES REDFIELD
(By Herald Leased wire.)

New York, March 25.-William G.
Redfield, former Secretary of Com
merce, as the principal speaker at
the luncheon of the Thirty-fourth
Street Board of Trade. which was
given at noon today at the Hotel
Pennsylvania, said that the pinch o:
hign prices was more apparent than
real.
He sympathized keenly, he said.
with those who were forced to live
on inflexi salaries, but said he did
not believe that the high cost Of
living is a serious burdenNthrough-
out the country.
Mr.. Redfield made an indirect ref
erence to the league of nations by
saying that this country cannot be
separated by thought or action from
the rest of the world when there
is owing to us abroad $4,000, ,000.-
900. Every time he thought of this,
he said, he was reminded of the de-
mand made by Sir George E. Foster
for 122.00O.OOO cans of pork and
beans in the late war. Investigation
showed that the materials going to
make the complete individual can
of beans, including the can, came
from four continents. The Ameri-
can farmer supplied the beans and
pork.

Americans Fail
ToLeaueBerlin
Despite Danger
Few of l30 Take Advant-
age Of Opportunity for
Departure.

Americans caught in Berlin dur
ing the Kapp-Luettwitz revolt and
sui tsequent outbreaks have had
ample opportunity to leave the Ger
man capital. according to official ad-
vices to the State Department. So
far as the department has been in
formed all transient Americans in
Germany are now in safety.
1t Is understood that few of the
13o American citizens known to be
in Berlin availed themselves of ia
cilities provided for their departure.
Ellis l. Dressed, the American COM
missioner in Berlin, gave due notice
to all the American residents and
laid particular emphasis on tho pro-
visions made for American women.
A special car furnished by Maj. Gen.
Allen, In command of the American

tory, was not filled, according to the
information received here. Although
no accurate figures are available 1t
Is estimated there are about 1900
Americans now in Germany.
Latest official communications
reaching the State Department say
that virtual quiet has been restored
in Berlin. Newspapers appeared on
the streets Wednesday for the first
time since the revolt, and the situ-
alton was so tranquil yesterday
that the national assembly met.
From a military standpoint, how
ever, the German government is said
to have its hands full with the dis
turbances in the Rrhr region of
Rhenish Prussia, where the Commu-
nists have gained a measure of con-
troll.

RUHR DISTRICT
FACES FAMINE
Backbone Of Communist
Uprising Broken by
Ebert Troops.
(washington Herald-Public Ledger
Service, Special Cable Dispateh.)


Geneva, March 25.-With the ex-
ception Of the Ruhr district, the
backbone of the Communist rising
in Germany has been broken every
where by the force of arms and the.
formation of coalition government
in which democratic and Catholic
deputies will occupy several impor-
tant posts until now held by So
cialists.
Intimidated after their return to
Berlin by spartacans' violence.
Ebert and Bauer. for the moment.
contemplated a constitution of a
purely Socialist cabinet together
with Independent Socialists.
Pitilessly cut OF from all food
supplies, the densely populated Ruhr
district with its million Industrial
workers, Is menaced with famine.
While the Berlin government or
dered it's Reichswehr troops to re-
main strictly on the defensive
against attacks Of the Red army.
1t is slowly but surely starving the
Communists into submission. After
the distribution of two pounds OF
-four a head to the Inhabitants, the
city of Dortmund today Is absolutely
without bread.
The weekly bread rations in other
towns has been reduced by order of
the food administrator in Bochum
to one pound. Milk trains from
Holland which used to bring many
thousands of quarts of milk daily
for the under-nourished children Of
the Ruhr district have stopped run
ming since the communist out
break.
The Dutch food exporters refuse
to supply the Ruhr district. In
spite of the Red armies victory"
so far. local workers in the Soviets
have exercised great discretion and
have carefully avoided oppressive
measures against other classes OF
the population, but a strong radical
minority of Essen urges the procla-
nation Of a German Soviet republic
and dictatorship by the proletariat.
Those extremists may gain the up
per hand before the end comes. but
they cannot defer 1t long, for death
by starvation stares millions OF
workers in the face.
The Ruhr tragedy once more
proves that Communists are doomed
wherever agricultural workers hold
aloof.

The usual method is to have q

which the cord is attached to hold

A much more simple plan is to get

and place inside the tassel a bag
of lead of equal weight. This wiz

raised at will and does away with
the hooks, securing the curtain by
establishing an even balance.
