NEW YORK, Nov. IS (R.-News

Dog food was common then. but
scarce. Horse meat, served today
in some Nazi restaurants, sold then
for 86 cents pound.
In April, 1917. a Dresden restau-
rant scored a coup by purchasing
an elephant from travelling cir
Gus to provide choice steaks and
outlets.
The last American woman to re-
turn from Germany after the
United States entered the World
War asserted that in Leipzig she
found the piece de resistance on To-
cal menus was elephant meat, the
heel being considered the greatest
delicacy. The lions and tigers al
ready had disappeared from the
local ZOO.
Sausage, standard of the German
table, was made from horse, donkey,
mule, fish, goat and rabbit meat
and from kohlrabi, a cabbagelike
plant, which was colored and spiced.
In May, 1917, an agricultural ex-
pert at Passau, Bavaria, advised
Germans to follow the example of
Nebuchadnezzar and eat grass. "
Other scientists proudly announced
that certain layers of edible earth"
had been located in the lower val

In Washington one Of the Com
merce Departments leading experts
on European affairs said he doubted
whether the new German decree
legalizing dog meat for human con-
sumption had much to do with the
German food supply.
The expert, who declined to be
quoted by name, said "our informa-
ton is that Germany has plenty OF
meat, and we doubt If there are
enough dogs and similar animals In
Germany to matter much.
MY guess is that If they are
slaughtering dogs, it is because they
cannot afford to feed them, rather
than that they have nothing else
to eat"
