PRICES IN GERMANY
RAPIDLY RETURNING
TO PRE-WAR STATUS
COBLENZ, Aug. 23 (Correspon
dence of Associated Press)".—Living
conditions in the interior of Germany
are rapidly adjusting themselves as a
result of the lifting of the blockade.
However, according to the German
newspapers, it may be years before
food prices become normal or vir
tually the same as before the war.
Some German editorial writers, com
plaining of high prices at the present
time and during the war, contend
with bitterness that the low cost of
living enjoyed by Germany for so
many years is gone forever.
As an indication of improvement in
the food situation in one German city
the Kolonialwaren Zeitung of Leipsig
says:
“Profiteering trade prices plainly
show a falling off since the lifting of
the blockade. The overcharges on
pork have long since been removed
and the fat shortage has ceased. To
be sure, the demand for fresh meat is
as great now as before in consequence
of the cessation of domestic slaught
ering. This need, however, is cov
ered in the main by the restoration.
Everywhere one finds, in the eating
places, beef, veal and pork meat with
out limit and at reasonable prices.
One can once more eat at noon in
Cologne for 4.50 marks and in a wine
restaurant for 5.50 marks; therefore,
it appears as if conditions are coming
which are acceptable.”
I The steamship Admiral Watson ar
rived at an early hour this morning,
bringing several days’ mail.
There will be a special meeting of
the Cordova fire department Thurs
day evening at 8 o’clock. The new
by-laws will come up for their third
reading and a full attendance is re
quested.
