DINE ERS KISS HAND THAT FEEDS THEM
Only Restaurant Where Pa irons Salute Mattresses
 Hands With Lips

SOFIA, Nov. 11.-(By Associated Press. )--There are not many restau- rants In the world where a diner kisses the waitress hand before he proceeds to order his dinner But there is such public restaurant in this city, and it is probably the only one of it's kind in the world.
 This restaurant, called the 'Russki Restorant." is kept, waited on and cooked for by Russian women of the nobility, some of whom used to have salons" in Petrograd under the em- pire, to which princes, generals, dip- lomats and savants regarded it an honor to be admitted.
 Driven to the ends of the earth by bolshevik persecution, these particu- lar "prinzessen, comtessen, serene English altessen"-as SvengaH call ed them in '"Trilby"- down to the business of their wrecked lives in this little corner almost beneath the shadow of the beautiful equestrian statue of the Gear Limerator," Alex ander II.
 It is somewhat disconeerting to American eyes to see tall Russian who seems to have seen better days rise from his table when the waitress comes to take the order salute mad ames hand with his lips in the best manner of a courier, then resume prosaic business of ordering his meal.
 And the food-served in the open air under the trees in the summer suggests enough of an approach to American ideas of what is good tc eat that Americans and English men, to say nothing of other Euro peans." are among the best patrons of the "Russki Restorant."
 The prices are enough above the average to make the place rather ex- l elusive, and the waitresses are pro nounced, by Americans at least, t' be entirely satisfactory.

 Few of the 3O,OOO,oOO found gray strands and fewer still perceived in their rulers, elder and grayer, much of the wisdom years and gray hair sometimes bring.
 Echoes from Europe still em- broiled told listeners on this side that the war fought to end all war has brought only dreams of new campaigns.
 Fifty thousand small boys and a hundred thousand of their elders thrilled here sunday to the chatter of maching infantry as the Seventy first regiment paraded on Fifth avenue. It was a war-like spectacle.
 Half a thousand American Legion posts, with recollections of the blood -muddied trenches mercifully dinner, paid homage to the still un- known soldier in 300 cities.

BERLIN. Nov. 11.-Through five harsh years of a discorded peace, the women and children of Germany have paid the price of war.
 "Tuberculosis Is ravaging Ger many; children go daily to school without a morning meal; less than 15 per cent of the children are listed as of good constitution; people ac- tually dying for want of physician; 15 per cent of the hospitals have closed.'
 These were among the sharp pie lures of misery painted by Frau Stresemann. young wife of the Ger man chancellor, when asked to tell the story of her people.
 Herself. a mother of two children, the pretty. dark haired woman who stands behind the German chancellor is working in the cause of the na- tions charities while her husband struggles to preserve union in the distressed state.
 A leader of the Reichslife, the great German organization for aid Of the starving she has gone into the homes of the poor to see for herself the condition of her people.
 The picture she paints is ona Of despair. Hunger and under nourish- ment have taken fearful toll of German childhood.
 Anaemia, serofuIa. rickets and other afflictions almost unknown be- fore the war are bringing deep suf- fering and misery to all German homes.
 "The long years of the hunger blockade, the ever stronger pressure of the Versailles treaty terms, the immense increases in the cost of liv- ing have resulted in fearful decline in German health, especially among the young" the chancelloress said.
 Milk brought into German cities, for instance, now totals S5 lters a year per person, as compared with 930 liters per person before the war.
 Formerly 49 kilograms of meat were brought into Berlin yearly for every person; now it is less than half that amount.
 "There is no wonder that with such deprivation of essential foods, the health of the nation is gravely un- dermined.
 "Tuberculosis Is attacking Ger many. In 1912 about 12 persons in every 10000 died from tuberculosis. Now the death rate is IF in 10000, and the rate is increasing.
 Many children now go daily to schools without morning meal. It is pitiful to see them try to study while hunger gnaws at their stom- achs.
