SWISS SUFFER
FROM SCANT
FOODSUPPLY
BERNE, March 7 (by mall).—War
time food restrictions still weigh heav
ily upop the Swiss, and are expected
to remain in force for several months.
The bread ration has been increased
to nine ounces a day, and is expected
to remain at this allowance until after
this year's harvests. The cheese ra
tion is nine ounces a month. Butter
is only obtainable in the remoter coun
try districts. The sugar ration is
eighteen ounces a month.
There is a great dearth of milk, j
and although the ration is nominally
a pint per day, it is rarely possible to
obtain more th&n half a pint. Tapi
• oca, sago, macaroni and many other
similar articles of food are entirely
lacking. Meat, though unrationed, is
very poor in quality and can not be
obtained for less than $1.50 per pound.
The restriction which most seriously
affects the economic life of the coun
try, and also the comfort of the in
habitants, is the reduced service of
trains, due to the coal famine. All ex
press trains have been suspended and
the speed of the few slow trains that
run average about fifteen miles an
hour. Connections between trains on
different lines are made as difficult
as possible, to discourage traveling.
Fares have been virtually doubled.
The trains are packed, many long
distance travelers are obliged to stand
in the corridors all the way, and the
jolting is violent, owing to attachment
to passenger traips of freight cars
which are shunted at the stations en
route.
The importation of coal into Swit
zerland falls short of the necessary
minimum by 170,000 tons a month, and
this deficiency must be made good be
fore traveling can become nofmal
again. The locomotives of the Swiss
state railways are burning wood in
stead of coal.
The war restrictions on the use of
gasoline are about to be removed. Its
shortage since 1917 had been so great
that the entire supply had to be re
served for the use of the army and for
physicians in emergency cases. The
automobile had almost disappeared
from Swiss roads. Now a largp pur
chase of gasoline from Bohemia will
permit unlimited sale.
HOW AMERICAN FLAG
WAS FOUND IN COBLENZ
COBLENZ, Germany, March 7 (by
mail).—When the Seventeen field ar
tillery, commanded by Colonel E. U.
W. McCabe, moved into the ancient
fortress of Ehrenbreitsein, where for
many generations the imperial colors
of the Hohenzollerns had waved from
the great flagstaff a defiance to the
world, it was discovered to the dismay
of the new garrison that the unit did
not possess a national standard to pro
claim from the tallest parapet the
American occupation of the Teuton
stronghold.
Couriers were sent to every shop in
the city of Coblenz in a forlorn hope
that an American flag might have sur
vived the days when Germany paid
honor to visiting official and military
delegations from the American repub
lic. The search was fruitless and the
formal occupation of the fortress
seemed to be desined to be without
its chief ceremonial, the hoisting of
the colors.
But the couriers of Colonel McCabe
reckoned without Secretary Michael
Driscoll of the Knights of Columbus
of Danbury, Iowa. As a venture the
messengers visited the big war serv
ice storehouse of which Mr. Driscoll
was in charge.
“Yes, I think I can fix you out all
right,” said the secretary,” and in the
depths of his private trunk he found
his most cherished overaeas posses
sion, a huge American flag. This is
the only emergency that could ever
get that flag away from me,” was the
admonition of the donor of the colors.
Then followed the ceremony of the
mounting of the colors over the great
stronghold. Troops in parade forma
tion, a big fleet of American airplanes
maneuvering in the brilliant sunshine,
and the playing of “The Star-Spangled
Banner” by a regimental band, pro
claimed to the world the downfall of
-the ramparts which since their occu
pation by the legions of Julius. Caesar
have been the bulwarks of monarchy.

BOXING CONTESTS MAKE
BIG MONEY FOR STATE
MILWAUKEE, April 14 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Wisconsin profited to
the extent of approximately $16,000
from its five per cent share of the re
ceipts from boxing bouts in the last
two years, according to the biennial
report o{ the boxing board.
The report showB that the. state
collected $37,989.32 since the sport
was legalized. The expenses of the
commission have been $21,587.61,
leaving a balance of more than $16,
000 in favor of the state.
In addition to the war, the epidemic
of influenza cut into the receipts of'
the commission as the sport was just
getting baQk on its feet when the
“flu” ban gave it another setback.
Walter H. Linglnger, chairman of
the commission, said interest in the
sport was growing as the soldiers
returned from camp and abroad and
that a number of clubs in differnt
parts of the state are negotiating for
licenses.
One thing emphasized in the report
is the increase in amateur boxing.
