Food Is Sufficient
To Nu||ify Blockade,
Germans Insist
1AppIe-Teo' Takes Place
Of Coffee; Hens and
Rubbits Conserved
BY the Associated Press.

~ tne Associated STe1o.
BERLIN, Nov. 4.-German author
tiles insist the Reich has sufficient
food to make the British blockade
absolutely ineffective.
OF course, there is practically no
coffee, but q Nazi invention-apple
tea-is offered as a substitute for
the traditional "kafYee- -klatsch" or
conee-gossip hour.
Precautionary food measures also
have placed the once lowly goat in
an exalted position and insured
long and happy lives for industrious
hens and doe rabbits.
Germany has stored $500, 900 tons
Of wheat and rye against the day
when the Reich may be forced by
the war to fall back upon q reserve.
Nazis assert they will not have to
use this supply because Of grain
shipments received from the Balkans
via the Danube River, and their own
homegrown harvests. In fact, they
say the reserve supply will be built
up at the rate Of 800 900 tons a year.
Reserve Insures Year Supply.
Germany's annual consumption of
wheat and rye is more than 1000 600
tons, the reserve thus insures more
than . years complete supply should
all harvests and imports fall, it was
pointed out.
Storage of the grain has created
such q complex problem that two of
Berlin's largest exposition buildings,
usually used for automobile shows,
have been converted into granaries.
with wheat about six feet deep all
over the floor.
Germany's food situation also was
expected to be aided considerably
by the acquisition of large areas In
potato-growing Poland. Potatoes
are one Of the Reich's main staples
and are grown in large quantities
in Germany and the territory she
has acquired in Poland's dismem-
berment.
German housewives were advised
to serve apple tea by DNB, oficial
German News Agency.
DNB. in admonishing the popu-
lace to preserve apple skins, as
serted:
Fresh skins, which of course
must be free from rotten spots,
should be placed on a stove with
just enough water to cover them
and boiled until soft Then this
liquid is passed through a sieve and
sweetened according to taste. This
apple tea is delicious hot drink
for suppertime. What remains in
the strainer can then be fed to the
pigs"
Goats Gain in Favor.
Goats have gained favor in the
Nazi regime because, it has been
pointed out, they can live on gar
bage and yield more milk and cheese
in proportion to their weight than
COW.
II the goats abode is kept clean,
we'll lighted and properly ventilated,
agricultural experts assert the no.
torious "goaty" taste in the milk will
disappear.
Rabbits also are popular because
they can live on greens and garbage
The ministry Of agriculture has
pointed out it was nothing short
Of a crime to kill female rabbits
for eating purposes when they still
could be used for breeding.
The skins of all rabbits killed
were ordered delivered to the gov
ernment, cleaned and dried not more
than 81 days after the killing.
Keepers of chickens are enjoined
not to kill hen under two years of
age unless it has been demonstrated
it cost more to keep than the egg
production Is worth.

held q gun on the victim. Last
night, Capt. Keck said, the bandid
operated alone. He said he did not
know exactly how the robber had
used his right hand to hold the gun
and pick up his booty at the same
time.
The man is colored and wears
dark glasses with white rims. He is
about % years old and has small

A pocketbook snatching was re-
ported by Ruth Kemp, IS, of 1885

lines operating between this coun-
try and Latin America are suf1-
cient to carry all the goods now in
that trade. The Commerce and State
Departments are working vigorously
on programs designed to increase
the commerce in the Western Hemi-
sphere. and the natural diminu-
tion of s-Atlantic trade may
bring about that increase. But for
the present the lis ships of these
lines are enough.
Moore Mccormack Lines, which
are known as the American Repub-
lies Line and the Good Neighbor
Fleet" plying between the East
Coast of the United States and the
east coast of South America.
Grace Line, East and West Coasts
of United States and west coast of
South America.
Pacific Argentine Brazil Line,
West Coast of United States with
east coast of South America.
United Fruit Lines, East Coast Of
United States and the Caribbean
and Central American countries.
Another factor which may bring
about an increased use of American
ships in the South American trade
is that the British and French will
have to take many of their South
American boats out of South At
lantic lanes and put them in the
United States service.
This would mean that the South
American countries would require
the use of other vessels to move
their goods. The other vessels most
easily could come from the United
States.
Bigger Demand In Pacific.
1t is probable, too, that the British
will have to withdraw a number of
ships from the Pacific trade to put
them in the North Atlantic cash
and carry" commerce. Thus, an op-
portunity for more American ships
in the Pacific would be presented.
In the Pacific, moreover, the jap
anese have withdrawn a number of
their trans-oceanic vessels to meet
certain new conditions raised by the
Chinese invasion. Here, again, Is op-
portunity for American shipping to
step in and take over the abandoned
Japanese commerce.
But in knowing quarters little hope
is held that the great bulk of the
American merchant marine-built
up chiefly since 1896, when the Mar
itime Act was passed-will move
from anchor during the wars dura-
tlon-or so long as the United States
operates under the Neutrality Act OF
1899.
Statistically, the United States
self-imposed Atlantic blockade
means that 90 American vessels are
withdrawn from the Atlantic serv-
ice. Eight American foreign trade
routes in which the American Gov
ernment has invested $l95, ,061 900
are abandoned, with a gross loss in
revenues to the American merchant
marine Of $50 500 900.

Coronation CIimuxes
Homecoming Day
Celebration

Caroline Walden, q blue-eyed
blond who has always tried to get
along with everybody. was crowned
queen of the George Washington
University's campus last night.
The crown was placed on Miss
Wadden's head at ceremonies in the
ballroom of the Mayflower Hotel,
marking the climax of George
Washington's Homecoming Day cell
ebration.
BY the queens side stood her
two ladies in waiting, Joan Giles of
Cathedral Mansions. a member of
Alpha Delta Pi Sorority, who fin
ished second, and Doris Conklin,
5000 Forty-fourth street NV, who
came in third.
The queen and her ladies in watt
ing were selected by ballot from
among IL candidates for the honor.
The result of the voting was q
zealously guarded secret until the
moment Miss Walden marched to
the throne.
Il couldn't tell you why they
picked me-" the queen said. I'm
thrilled to death. I've played no
favorites and tried hard to get along
with everybody. Maybe that had
something to do with it."
Miss Walden is senior, majoring
In English, and is q member of
Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority.
She is granddaughter of the late
Representative Edward w. Pou, once
dean of the House, and a great
granddaughter of the late Repre-
sentative Peter 1hre of Pennsyl-
vania.
She says she has no ambition to
fulfill upon graduation, but believes
she will take secretarial work. Miss
Walden lives at 2104 Calvert street
NV.
The II college beauties marched
into the ballroom at 1l:15, moving
between lines of fellow students. A
hush fell over the group as George
w. Neville moved up to escort Miss
Walden and her ladies in waiting
to the throne.
She was dressed in white satin
and carried sheaf of orange roses.
Following the coronation, the beau
ties were introduced on a broad
cast by the National Broadcasting
Co.
The queen received the univer-
sity sweetheart cup" and her first
official act was to present the cup

decoration to Sigma Nu.
She succeeds Eleanor Sherburne,

The third-term issue continues to
disturb those Democrats who are
hoping for party harmony in Con-
gress this winter and party harmony
in the election campaign that is to
follow. If it becomes evident that
the President is to be a candidate to
succeed himself, the fat will be in
the fire. Either Mr.. Roosevelt must
remain q dark horse without any
commitments or he must efIectually
take himself out of the picture If
he is to have united Democratic
