TRADING TAPESTRIES
FOR BREAD

Vienna, Dec. 15.--When by pur-
chase, gift and inheritance the house
Of Hapsbure acquired the 800 or more
tapestries comprising the most superb
collection in the world its members
hardly fOrcsaw that some day they
would hc pawucd to buy bread for Il
succeeding republic.
The rcparati0ns commission having
given it's consent, the government is
now trying Ia raise enough money on
these tapestries To purchase $4,000
tons Of Hour against the imminent ex-
hau>tlon Of the supply of hand. The
bread ration has been reduced To 20
por cent of Hour content, with so
per cent corn meal and so per cent
rye. The best that can be said of the
resulting bread is that "A very hungry
person can cat Il little OF it.
IT iS understood that IL movement
is on root for the organization of an
international syndicate to- advance the
required amount of cash. The plan
contemplates that the tapestries
pledged will be carcfuiy selected
from the various schools represented
in the collection ana these in part or
IN Whol" will hc put ON exhibition in
the great cities of Europe and Amer
lea.
For some months the finest of these
wcaves have been on exhibition in the
Belvcdere Palace here, exposed for the
first time to the public. Always they
have been kept either in the Hofburs
or SChoenbrun palaces. brought out
on rare state occasions in the days OF
the monarchy to decorate the great
salons. The largest OF them barely
find space on the sidewalks of the vast
apartments in the BclVederc, where
daily hundreds OF persons pay the
small admission fee to feast on the
wealth of color, while in every room
artists at caSclS copy them.
