LOOTING FROM
ROYAL HOMES
WAS GENERAL
BERLIN, Aug. 20 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Thefts from
the castles of former Emperor Will
iam and the Crown Prince Frederick,
not only during the revolution but
during the January and March riots
of the Spartacists and Communists,
are still engaging the attention of the
police.
Slowly the authorities have been
able to trace some of the valuables
that were filched by the sailors who
occupied the ex-emperor’s palace and
that of his son for a time, but an im
mense amount has been taken from
Berlin by underground methods and
may never be recovered.
One of the most important “finds”
can be laid to a Hamburg professor.
A marine who had stolen two Cranach
portraits from the imperial castle
failed to get rid of them in Berlin, and
finally sold them to a questionable
dealer in Hamburg. The dealer ap
proached the professor, who recog
nized the canvasses, gave a check but
stopped payment, and notified the
finance ministry. The paintings were
i thereupon confiscated.
There are many more not yet re
covered, however, including a little
male figure in wood dating from 1585,
a Katherine von Bora by an unknown
artist, also in wood, a “Warrior with
Ladies,” by Palamedes, and a score
of other carvings and paintings, prin
cipally by German artists, from the
sixteenth century.
From the palace of Wilhelm I there
have been stolen figures in bronze and
ivory, a pastel of Queen Louise, vases,
letter containers, silver trays, Japan
ese silk portieres and curtains, dec
orative weapons, medallions, watches
and mirrors.
The crown prince’s residence suf
fered similarly. Cigarette cases, of
which the crown prince had a wonder
ful collection, are missing, a jeweled
collar, writing material, woolen ma-j
terial, clocks, a watch set with dia-j
monds and sapphires, two automo- j
biles, five hunting guns and a gold
revolver.

PETROGRAD IN I
DEADLY GRIP!
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (by Asso

bank for the third time, it is said, this
time taking more than two millions of
rubles.

ABSURD CENSORSHIP
STILL RULES IN FRANCE
MONTAUBAN, France, Aug. 15 (by
mail)—Censorship still exists in some
respects in France. Commenting
upon a law which it believed to be
illegal, a local newspaper recently
published an article beginning: “One
need not obey unjust laws and de
crees.’
The censor ran a blunt blue pencil
through the sentence. For several
days the paper attempted to put that
sentence in print, crediting it in turn
to St. Thomas, Leo XIII, Minos, Solon,
Lycurgus and Aristotle, but the
censor crossed it out every time.
It’s the flavor and the grain which
make the bread at the City Bakery
famous. ^_4 £5
