Herbert Bayard Swope Re

Mr. Swope spent several months In
Germany lat summer end fall, meet
ing many of the big men of that na
tion, and being granted certain privi
leges of a nature not enjoyed by the
casual raveler. There Is reason to be
lieve Mr. Rwope's conclusions to be
well drawn. r
It Is rather Interesting; then to
quote:
Germany Is not starving, and she
does not intend to starve. She is fur
ther away from that danger point to
day than she has been at any time
since the British blockade tightened
abont her. Her food supplies are not
varied and they are not abundant, but
she has enough to provide for actual
needs and still leave a margin of re
serve. . . ,
Every great staple of life Is to be ob
tained only by a card. One must have
cards for bread, butter, meat, fruits, i
potatoes, fats, sugar and recently the j
system has been extended to Include
milk, cream and eggs.
Errs Ax Watched.
On may, have meat only five times
week, butter or fats only twice a
week, and In the beginning of October
the empire had gone on a one-egg-a-person-per-week
basis. This was for
the purpose of building up a reserve
stock of eggs, which up to that time
had been purchasable without restric
tion. Bread, vegtables and fish were
to be had every day.
The methods of obtaining food for
those living in hotels and those keep
ing house differ. In the official re
port recently issued by the British gov
ernment It was said that foreigners in
Germany, particularly newspaper cor
respondents, were treated exceptionally
in that no restrictions were placed upon
Ahelr food. I can bear personal test!
mony to the falsity of this information.
Upon my arrival at the Hotel Adlon
in Berlin I was provided with meat and
bread cards. The bread cards had little
tabs on them, each calling for 25 grams
of Kriegsbrot (war bread made of a
mixture of wheat flour, corn flour and
potato meal, looking and tasting like
our ordinary rye bread). Each tab was
good for a slico of bread. A roll re
quired two tabs, or 50 grams. The meat
cards entitled one to a slice and a half,
or 75 grams daily. The meatless days
are Tuesdays and Fridays. In com
pensation the days upon which one can
obtain butter are also Tuesdays and
Fridays. Fats f6r frying" can be had
Mondays and Thursdays.
So Sugar, Cream.
In the hotels and restaurants sugar
and cream are not served.' In place of
sugar, little particles of saccharin are
given, and in place of cream a thin
bklmmed milk. The cream and sugar
are kept for hospital use. While it is
possible to regulate the service of
meatr and butters in a restaurant, it is
not so easy to do so in households, and
so tho system for the householders is
changed.
Every family is given, a card calling
for the quantity to which its size en
titles it, and then these cards are use-i
on stated days at the various markets.
Kvery family has a regular day on
which it buys its meats supplies for
the week. This is to prevent the
butcher being loaded down with an un
necessarily great supply. He stocks
just the amounts he knows his various
customers will require and for which
they present their cards, which he In
turn presents to the central govern
mental supply station on renewing his
stock.
Sow Bread Is Sold.
The bakers, too, sell by weekly ar
rangetnents. Each customer Is entitled
to 1900 grams of baked bread or 17J0
grams of bread and 250 grams of meal
or flour. At the beginning of the regu
iatlons the loaves used to be baked in
2000 gram loaves (about four pounds)
but It was found the wastage In this
was heavy, so now they are made In
1000 gram loaves.
Every consumer is entitled to 60
grams of butter and SO grams of oleo
margarine, or vegetable fat. Every per
son has the right to draw nine pounds
of DOtatoes a week. There is no restric
tion as t how these supplies ahall be
used In "private families. If a house
hold wanted to, it could use all its card
rations in one day. Then for the rest
of the week It would "have to live on the
things the purchase of which Is still

Ho Souvenirs Allowed.
Nothing is permitted to be carried off
the battlefields as souvenirs, Mr. Swope
aays.
The debris is carefully sorted over,
and every article that German ingen
uity can bring into usefulness again
is sent back to the quartermaster's de
pot. Throughout the empire there are
collecting stations for all sorts of old
things old bottles, shoes, pieces of
.rubber, news and wrapping papers,
brass, steel, copper, tin, string, rags
nothing is thrown away. Once a month
these articles are gathered up from
every city and village and worked over.

Verhaeren, a Poet of Joy.

The work of Emile Verhaeren was
a long progress toward Joy. The world
has known geniuses who did not have
to make the ascent. Born at the sum
mit, their art has been a mighty, a con
tinual, affirmation of existence. They
are, however, the exceptions. There
has been but one Rubens, one Handel,
one ftabeiais. 1 lie rest have had to
toil towards gladness. Many have died
cn the cruel journey. The Belgian
poet who perished a few weeks ago in
a railroad accident persevered and at
tained.. The mature, the definite por
tion of his work, is a passionate hymn
to life. He is of the company of th
conquerors.
