German LIVING
COST IS HIGH
Food Necessaries Show ADJ
vances Up to 1000 Per Cent
Since 1914.
CLOTHING AND SHOES UP
Official Report From Berlin Declares
That MiddIe-class Struggle for
Existence Is Hopeless-Sugar
70 I1asl 1Hv1le1.

Washington.-A report received here
through official channels from Berlin
outlines by comparative tables of
prices of essential commodities in 1914
and 1920 the advance in the cost of
living in Germany since the outbreak
of the European war.
According to the figures, the cost of
living for an unmarried clerk living
away from home has risen from III
marks month in 1914 to 500 marks
this year.
The actual cost of the essential ar
ticles of food for a family of four at
present is estimated at $50 marks q
month.
Clothing Out Of Question.
Clothing, the report says, is impos-
sible to purchase at present prices. A
suit which in 1914 cost so marks is
now reported to sell for 1000 marks, a
price increase of 1,15O per cent. The
cost of shoes has increased over 1000
per cent. Shoes which in 1914 sold at
10 marks pair are now bringing 175
marks. Mems shirts which could for
merly be bought for 71a marks each
are now being sold for 95 marks, rise
of 1,166 per cent
Similar price increases prevail for
all essential commodities, the increases
ranging from 225 per cent for electric
current to 1856 per cent for soap,
piece of soap which before the war
cost 30 pfennigs now selling for S
marks.
The increase in the cost Of food es-
sentials, according to the figures given
in the report is even more startling.
The cost of eggs has risen 1906 per
cent, one egg now costing 2h marks.
Lard comes next, with a percentage
increase of 1888. Rice, cereals, butter
and bacon have increased in price
more than 1000 per cent.
Sugar Increases Least.
The article of food which has in
creased least in price since 1914 is
sugar, which has gone up the compar-
atively small amount of 316 per cent.
Before the war sugar sold in Germany
for 25 pfennigs a pound. It now
brings, the report says. l.O4 marks.
Milk also has retained low cost in
comparison with the tremendous in
creases prevailing in most commodi-
ties. It's cost has risen 800 per cent
According to the report, the average
monthly earnings Of the German mid
die classes are only from 300 to 600
marks. Taking the needs as outlined
for existence, the report says, examina-
ton Of the tables gives some concep-
ton of the present hopeless struggle
| of the middle classes for existence on
| the meager return Of their work.

Forests Could Relieve Shortaqe,
Says Governor Riggs.
Billions Of Feet Of Paper Wood Avail
able for Manufacture Into
Newsprint.

Seattle.-Alaska wants to throw
open her millions of acres Of national
forests so that the billions Of feet Of
paper wood of the northland can help
relieve the pulp and newsprint famine,
Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., of Alaska de-
clared here recently.
Governor Riggs was here on his way
from Juneau, capital of Alaska, to
Washington, where he expected to help
press pending legislation intended to
remove restrictions and allow pulp
manufacturers to go into the Tongass
and Chugach reservations, the north
ern territory's two great reserves.
Pulp and paper men are anxious to
go to Alaska and establish mills as
great as these operated in British
Columbia not far south of the Alaska
boundary line, the governor asserted.
Under the present laws the pulp max
ers cannot enter the reservations with
any certainty that they will be allowed
to stay.
Alaska's great forests stretch over
approximately 80, 900 square miles, an
area nearly equal in size to the state
of Indiana, according to estimates
made by government officials.
Several hundred million feet of good
pulp wood, including western yellow
pine, hemlock, Sitka spruce, white fir
and lodgepole pine, are on the forest
reserves alone.
The Tongass reserve, in southeast
ern Alaska, is especially adapted to
the manufacture Of pulp and paper,
forestry officials have reported. There
is plenty of water power, ocean hor-
bors open the year around timber
skirting the water and weather sim
liar to that of the Puget sound.
The governor intends to ask Wash
ingtOn to restore the reserves to the
national domain or to open them to
the pulp industry.

Assert Ancient Tribes
Did Much Irrigatinq

Albuquerque, N. M.-That
prehistoric peoples of New Mex
leo did good deal Of irrigat-
ing is indicated by the remains
of canals and bitches found in
the state, as we'll as in other
parts of the Southwest, accord
ing to II. F.. Robinson, head Of
the Indian irrigation bureau
here.
The remains of 217 miles of
bitches built by the Pueblo In
dams alone are to be found, and
there are evidences Of elaborate
water systems at the Salt River
valley in Arizona.
These bitches were all dug by
hand, according to Mr.. Robin
son, and clay banks and beds
were constructed where the way
lay over sandy plain, while the
method Of blasting through
rocks was to heat the rocks,
crack them with large stones
and remove them from the way.

BIames Jazz Music.

Wabash, Ind.-Jazz music is the
cause Of suggestive dancing and must
go, according to Mrs. J. NJ. Ulrich,
police matron here. She has asked
all fraternities and clubs here to dis
continue music Of that kind and dur
ing the last few weeks a number of
jazz selections have been stricken
from the dance programs. AS re-
suit, Mrs. Ulrich says, dancing here
has improved appreciably, and that
now there is little or no complaint
to be made against dancing as it is
done here.

CHINESE KILL RUSS
CaptiVes Are Shot to Death With
Reviewers.
First Make Victims Dia Graves, Then
Execute Them for the
Bolsheviki.

Amsterdam.-The correspondent of
the Handelsblad, who recently re-
turned from trip in soviet Russia,
gives the following account of his in
vestigations of the activities of the
Chinese employed there by the boil
sheviki as executioners.
"Such horrible stories were being
told in Europe about these Chinese
that I thought it worth my while to
learn more about them. AS joke,
asked everyone who asked my opinion
Of the bolsheviki to show me some
real man-killing Chinese but I always
was told they couldn't produce any
just now because they had all gone to
the Denikine front.
II was told the Chinese, if COM
manded by their own officers were ex-
cellent soldiers, but they ran like hares
if their officers were killed. Execu-
tons are now very rare in Moscow,
but, in August, when thousands of
counter-revolutionar were slaugh-
tered, it was carried out by the Chi
nese because the authorities feared
the Russian soldiers would refuse to
; do the work.
'The Chinese do this work indiffer-
ently-like they do all other work they
are ordered to perform. They are
blind, constituencies tools in the hands
of the men who feed them and pay
them and who raised them from the
position Of coolies in which they came
to Russia to the rank Of soldier, of
the guards.
eff the 'boltsjak' (his name for boil
shevik) orders something, the Chinese
does it, and he does it in his typically
practical way. He first makes the vic
tim dig his own grave and then shoots
him with his revolver. He is not cruel
about it, just practical.
"When boltsjak says kill, then he
kills with an unperturbed face. And
when boltsjak says, You may stop
now with the same cool face he lets
his victim go''
The correspondent after some weeks
in Russia left when he was refused
permission to make investigations
freely as he pleased.

great quantities, but rock-calloused as
they are, they have taken a special
interest just now in rock that makes
Monroe county varieties youngsters in

ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS MIMI SATURDAY: II
FLY ACROSS PACIFIC ALASKA OFFERS PULP
Giant Flying Boats Planned for
the Trip.
viii Cross From California to China,
8,777 Miles, in Four
Hops.

New York.-Two giant flying boats
for the first flight across the Pacific
ocean are being planned. according
to the Manufacturers Aircraft asso-
citation. These planes will be nearly
twice the size Of the NC-4, which made
the first transatlantic flight.
The proposed route lies from San
Francisco to Hongkong, China, a dis
lance Of 1918 nautical miles, or about
8,777 land miles. Stops will be made
at Honolulu, Wake island, Guam and
Manila.
The flight has been made possible,
the association says, by an invention
of Edison Gallaudet of East Greenwich,
r. l., whereby three Liberty engines
are coupled to one 18-foot propeller.
The new boats will have three separ-
ate power plants, each containing
three high compression Liberty en-
gines, or nine motors to each ship.
The boats will be triplanes with q
wing spread Of 40 feet, as compared
with a spread of 1861 feet of the NC
boats. Each boat will have a wing
area Of about 5000 feet and carry a
crew of 16 men. The hulls will be
67 feet long, % feet longer than that
Of the NC-4 The cruising radius is
estimated at 2,1OO nautical miles, near,
~ twice that of the NC craft
Three high compression motors will
drive each of the three propellers.
Each unit Of three motors will be in
stalled in a separate nacelle, thus
making possible repairs while in flight.
Each propeller will be driven by two
motors with one in reserve.
Enough gasoline can be carried to
permit a cruising radius of $500 land
miles without stopping.
