FORTUNE HUNTERS TAXED AT MONTE CARLO
Austrians Divided
In Three Classes
For Bread Prices
special cssls Dispstch to
The washinston Herald.

BERLIN, Jan. 25.-The Austrian
population is about TO be divided
for the purpose of bread distribu-
tion by a law which the food
minister is introducing in parli-
ment. Under the present system
all citizens, rich andpoor, pay the
same price for bread and enjoy
the benefit of the government bread
subsidy and the government has
been impelled to seek a method of
distributing the burden more
equally and getting bigger re-
turn on imported -four.
The law divides the citizens into
three classes. The first, consisting
Of the poor, will receive bread at
the present price, that is three
crowns NORMALLY so cents) for a
two-pound loaf which barely covers
the cost of baking-the ingredients
being supplied gratis by the gov
ernment. The middle classes, with
a more adequate income, will pay
price more in keeping with the
actual cost OF the loaf which today
is about fifty-five crowns (norm-
ally SID while the rest will get
their daily bread only by paying a
handsome price, including a profit
for 1t.
The effect may be TO discourage
the consumption of bread by the
latter classes, but the minister's
solution is about the same as the
reputed one of let them eat
cake"

GERMANS ORDER
FORD MACHINES
Tractor Agent Meets Difficulty
Getting Sample for Farm
Exhibit.
Special Gable Dispatch to
The wAshinEton Herald.

BERLIN, Jan. 25.-The refusal of
the German government to permit
the importation of eight sample ma
chimes shipped to Hamburg last fall
will not prevent Fordson tractors
being exhibited at industrial fairs in
German cities this spring.
Lars Jacobson, who is here to
demonstrate the Ford product to
German farmers and arrange for
the establishment of a factory, has
secured the consent of the owner OF
one lone Fordson tractor in Ger
many to put it on exhibition. This
one, brought over two years ago
and shown at the Frankfurt fair.
has been in constant use for the
last eighteen months.
Jacobsen reports that German
farmers are faYorably impressed
with the tractor and eager to give
it trial: that orders have already
been received for 5000 to be de-
'livered as soon as the proposed fac
tories are erected in Germany.
VIII Help Germany.
The Germans are beginning to ap-
preCiate, he said. the fact that Ford
made an agreement with the firm
Ol ETlCn ana ITdeIZ, BSIlln llBnl
fixture manufacturers. by which the
latter will make all parts except the
motors and he will erect a factory
to do the assembling, more to help
Germany than to increase his own
fortune.
The Tractor and automobile con-
Germs here still are united in op-
position TO the Introduction Of
American methods of mass produce
tien. They declare it will ruin their
business and fear even more the
possibility of making Ford pleasure
cars and trucks in Germany, but
the argument they present to the
farmer is that the Ford machine
cannot be successfully operated in
Germany and that it is a waste of
money to buy one. This Jacobsen
hopes to disprove by demonstrations
at Industrial fairs, since German
manufacturers have refused to ac-

MONTE CARLO, Jan. 25-Once
upon a time tvery Riviera gambling
emporium permitted you to lose
your money free of charge. This
year they tax the privilege. True.
II you hope to extend your losses
over a considerable length Of time
The pro rata charge is less. One
hears many stories of fortunes won
at monty" There are even rumors
that once the bank was broken. All
such talk is assiduously circulated
for the good Of the cause. The en-
tire principality Of Monaco is kept"
by the Casino Company which also
controls the Sporting Club, the best
hotels, and several outside gambling
circles" along tie coast.
PROFITS Keep State.
The contract with the princely
house Of Monaco which still has
nearly half a century to run pro-
vides that the entire city must be
kept in perfect order and scrubbed
clean every morning. In addition
the Prince of Monaco gets annual
pocket money amounting to 7.O0O,-
900 francs. After all this outlay the
annual net profits of the Casino be-
fore tht war average 10000. 900
francs. During the wGr-the Sport
ing Club was closed part of the
time but the Casino never-these
profts melted tc a modest dozen
millions Of francs. So this year they
are making up.
Costs Ten Francs.
One now pays ttr francs to enter
the main room of the CasinO-the
famous Sale Schmidt-fifty francs
are charged for private rooms, 100
frarCs at the Sporting Club. The
only difference is that at the Sport
ing Club one can lose larger sums
In quicker time. Tie games are the
same baccarat. trent ct quarent and
roulette.
During the war the Sail. Schmidt
was common ground for both the
rich and the hopeful. Then one saw
the Grand Duchess Anastasia of
Russia. mother of the German
Crown Princess; Prince Paul of Ser
bia. the Montenegrin princes and
other INDECENT royalties, who were
kept bv the allies, losing enormous
sums of the allies money at the
public tables. Now the Sale
Schmidt is more prol etariat and one
gets the momentary idea that the
play is not so high.
Play High stakes.
1t is a CHASTITY error. Trail me
into the Sporting Club and I will
indicate but one table wher, the
company is social and the stake-
are high. There at one side is a
famous sportsman who has just
lost 100000 francs. busy counting
cash from another check. Next him
is a British theatrical maEnate.
Next him is the former wife OF t
Wall street magnate. a power in
world finance who now daIlies with
the stage.
Next Isabelle Otero. asoinG. but
peTsistently belle. Oppositc-the
man making a fuss with the crou-
pier over d paltry 10000 francs-Is
a famous English editor. At the
end of the tabIe-Ordering cham
pagne is a British cabinet minister
who may have to tear himself away
any day now. on account OF the con-
ference at Paris to discuss the dis
armament of Germany. w may in
hiCate who these people are and
give their stations. but we may not
name them becaus- they are sensi-
tive souls who dislike publicity.
