toll than lead and steel.
Fights in every war-stricken country to uphold a wrecked
and suffering humanity in its struggle for a free existence.

budgets—because the freest given.

fighting Red Cross dollars?

jf PARIS, May 21.—A prominent Bel
gian who has remained in the occu
pied territory has succeeded in get
ting a letter through to his son, now
!| serving on the Belgian front, on the
Yser. The writer says that every
thing in the country that is necessary
to reeding it is requisitioned by the
Germans, and the form in which requi
sitions are made adds bitterness to the
act, as the decree announcing the
seizure reads, ‘‘To insure the feeding
: of the population, we order
Some current prices are: Butter,
| the equivalent of $2.35 a pound; flour,
about $1.10 a pound; meat, $1.30 a
pound; fats, $3.70; sugar, $1.10; coal,
$75 a ton; an egg, 20 cents; haricot
j beans," 80 cents a pound; spool of cot
ton, $1.50; box of matches, 4 cents;
low shoes, $22, and petrol, about $10
a gallon.
“Your mother and I have each lost
about thirty pounds weight,” the let
| ter continues, “and uncle has lost
fifty. But that only makes us younger
and does not bother us otherwise.”
