PROPERTY
IN GERMANY IS
TO BE RETURNED

Been Molested.

Berlin, Germany, Feb. 21. Private
property valued at approximately $100,
000.000, abandoned by Americans at the
outbreak of war and administered since
then by a German custodian, awaits the
return of the owners when peace condi
tions permit. This was the statement
made to me privately by Privy Counsel
lor Dr. Herman Niedera, custodian of
enemy property In Germany.
"No personal property left behind by
Americana or citizens of other enemy
countries which was Inventoried and
turned over to the custodian's office
has been sold," said Dr. Nleders. 'Al
together there Is 3.500.000,000 (J875,000j
000) in enemy property in trust here to
day. The 400,000.000 marks (S100,
000,000) of American property repre
sents thousands of owners. American
owned factories, such as those of the
International Harvester company, the
Vacuum Oil company, the National Cash
Tteglttter company, the Westinghouse
company and the Singer company were
not liquidated during the war. Some of
- the American owned factories taken over
and, worked under the supervision of
the Germans during the war were turned
Into this office.
War Tax Is Added
"A tax of one per cent for bookkeep
ing and banking expenses was deducted.
The war tax levied on all German manu
facturers was also deducted. The re
mainder amounting to millions of
marks,-wi11 be turned over to the Amer
ican owners after . peace is declared if
the conditions of -peace drawn up in
Paris permit. The tfboks kept of the
enemy factories run for war work will
be open to the owners when peace is
signed.
"As for personal property, every arti
cle inventoried by the Americans at the
beginning of the war will await them in
tact. Works of art, commercial supplies,
furniture and clothing, all entirely in
tact, will be turned over to the owners
with no charge from the government.
Bills contracted or (storage and rent
will have to be settled between contract
ing parties. I
Owners Will Be Paid
"Rubber, nickel and many articles
needed during the war were requisi
tioned by the government. -In such
cases no distinction could be made be
tween German and enemy owned prop
erty, . Money tor enemy owned articles
requisitioned -was. however, jpaid to the
trustees of sucjb. property and this will
be turned over to the owners after peace
is Signed." .
Dr. Nelders gave me a glimpse of the
huge files of inventories of enemy prop
erty. He pointed out, for example, the
office of the Daily New9, in Berlin, in
which were typewriters and supplies
needed by the government, but not gen
erally requisitioned, as well as an auto
mobile . left by the Daily News Berlin
correspondent when the war began. All
were intact and ready to be turned over
to the owner without charge.
"Since the conclusion of the armis
tice," said Dr. Neider, "no new measures
have been taken against alien enemy
property."

Break A Child's
Cold by Giving
Syrup of Figs
Look, Mother! Is tongue
coated, breath feverish
and stomach sour?
Cleanse, the little liver and
bowels and they get
well quickly.
When your child suffers from a cold
don't wait : give the litUe stomach, liver
and bowels a gentle, thorough cleansing
at once. When cross, peevish, listless,
pale, doesn't sleep, eat or act naturally;
If breath Is bad, Btomach sour, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs," and In a few hours all the clogged
up, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food will gently move out
of - the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again.
If your child coughs, snuffles and has
caught cold or Is feverish or has a bo re
throat give a good dose of "California
Syrup of Figs," to evacuate the bowels
no difference what other treatment is
given.
fSick children needn't' be coaxed to
take this harmless "fruit laxative." Mil
lions of mothers keep it handy because
they know its action on the stomach,
liver and bowels is prompt and sure.
They also know a little given today
saves a sick child tomorrow. "
Ask your druggist for a bottle of "Cal
ifornia Syrup of Figs,'? which . contains
directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups - plainly on tne
bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold
here. , Get the genuine, made by ."Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company.".: (Adv.)

30 Express Packets
FaiTEacfc Months
Reach Their Owners
An average of 30 express shipments
from Portland 'go every month to the
"no ' mark bureau," of the American
railroad express company, according to
General-Agent I. Waring. In the. ma
jority of cases the loss of address Is due
to tags being torn away or to improper
wrapping. In spite of every . effort on
pany only a few of the "no mark" pack
pany only a'few of he "no mark" pack
ages reach their rightful owners.
- Avoidance of the loss and- annoyance
ca,used 'shippers and the express com
pany by better methods of packing and
addressing and by more careful handling
Is the purpose of a campaign now under
way in Portland i and throughout the
country. Agent- Waring and members
of the local staff acted as "four-minute
men", today and addressed employes in
each department of the work.
"Never before in the history of. trans
portation." said Mr. Waring, "has there
been such a determined effort on the
part of a public utility to better Its serv
ice. The "better service'- drive is ,of
marked, importance to every business
man. It seems the saving of money,
time and trouble and shippers generally
have entered with alacrity into the
spirit of the campaign." . ' s
