has been the capital of Lithuania,
the seat of government to be changed

venture he had with a party of
young men who were arrested in
Germany as Bolshevik suspects. His
baggage and clothing were exam
ined, but nothing was found and he
was released and apologies offered
him. He says the Germans are liv-
ing principally on a vegetable diet
and use saccharinc for sugar. They
have very little meat and are still re-
quired to hold government card for
an apportionment of bread. Labor is
paid about six or seven hundred
marks month and work is hard to
get. Says Mr.. Lewis, we complain of
taxes, but cannot realize what
tax burdens really are compared to
Germans. There are no exemptions
whatever and every person is
taxed ten per cent of all he makes.
The taxes are taken out of their
wages by the employers. Mr.. Lewis
came to This country ten years ago.
He is graduate of Union University,
Jackson, Tenn, locating afterwards
in Union City with Shatz Bros. He
says that Americans should go to
Europe if they want to appreciate
their own country properly.
