PROFITEERING IS FINE ART
SIBERIAN SPECULATORS TAKE
100 TO 1000 PER CENT PROFIT
Traders, Many of Them Smugglers
Obtaining I'orclgii-Made Prod
ucts, Reap Rich Harvest.
OMSK. Siberia. July 10. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
Profiteering has reached its apex as
"a fine art throughout central and
western Siberia, where no speculator
is satisfied with less than 100 per cent
profit and often gouges as much as
1000 per cent out of his hapless cus
tomers, according to stories coming in
here.
These traders, many of them smug
glers, who. taking advantage of the
shortage of everything except the
products of the country, the unstable
value of the ruble and the difficulties
of transportation, contrive to get
. through with a few pairs of shoes, par.
ticularly ladies' shoes, a few -bolts of
ilk or dress goods, a few cases of
tinned fruits, or. in fact, any foreign
made product whatsoever, reap rich
harvests.
Re fore a regular express service
was inaugurated the many special
trains coming up from Vladivostok and
Harbin were the targets of the specu
lators. By connivance with the por
ters and unknown to the other occu
pants, nearly every special brought in
its complement of merchandise stowed
away under berths and in obscure
corners, to bo handed over upon ar
rival at some designated point.
The Red Cross has had its difflcnl
tles side-stepping the' designs of this
gentry from time to time. On one
occasion, it Is related, a Red Cross rep
resentative in Irkutsk was approached
with an offer of a hundred pairs of
shoes as a gift for the good of the
cause. In due time iney arnvea. irom

pairs there were one thousand. They

being consigned to the Rel Cross, and
jt was the owner's expectation that
the extra 900 would be delivered to
him. They were all bundled off to
Dalren.
The speculators' day will have gone,
however. It Is said, as soon as the traf
fic ix readtusted under the inter-allied
committee management and legitimate
commerce is . resumed. Many ot.tne

high prices at the present time and
during the war, contend with bitterness
that the low cost of living enjoyed by
Germany for so many years is gone
forever.
As an indication of improvement in
the food situation In one German city
the Kolonialwaren Zeltung of Leipzig
says:
"Profiteering trade prices plainly
show a falling off, since the lifting of
the blockade. The overcharges on pork
have long since been removed and
the fat shortage has ceased. To be
sure the demand for fresh ment is as
great now as before in consequence of
the cessation of domestic slaughtering.
This need, however, is covered in the
main by the restoration. Everywhere
one finds, in the eating places, beef,
veal and pork meat without limit and
at reasonable prices. One can once
more eat at noon in Cologne for 4.50
marks and in a wine restaurant for o.50
marks; therefore, it appears as if con
ditions are coming which are accept

100 Bottle of Stolen Whisky Sets
Sailors to Celebrating.
(Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub

L.OXDON. Sept. 6. (Special Cable.)
Seventeen of the crew of the British
steamship War Magpie, bound for Rus
sia with stores, stole 400 bottles of
whisky, brandy and port from the ves
set's hold while she was at anchor in
the Mersey, says a Liverpool dispatch to
the Daily News. In their drunken orgy
the sailors threw, bombs about, en
dangering the War Magpie and other
shipping.
In police court today the men were
charged with theft and the story of
their amasing escapade was told. It was
testified that there was petrol aboard
the War Magpie. Involving great danger
of that ships being blown up with
others in the port. All of the party, ex
cept the ship's boy, were incapable of
working.
The boatswain was sentenced to four
months at hard labor and the 16 others
to three months. - 1
