FOOD APPORTIONMENT
IN AMERICAN ZONE
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION, Jan, 4 (correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—Ger
man newspapers in the American oc
cupied area recently have warned
the people of a food shortage before
spring. The Germans are urged to
economize in food as they did day
after day during the war.
The weekly allowance of food for
the civilians of Coblenz as fixed by
the German civil authorities Is virtu
ally the same as while the war was in
progress. The present price for milk,
which is allotted to infants and in
valids, is 37 markB a quart.
The food allowance for each resi
dent of Coblenz for the week from
December 30 to January 5 was as fol
follows: Bread, four pounds and eight
ounces; cereal (barley) seven ounces;
potatoes, seven, pounds; meat, seven
ounces; soup stock, seven ounces;
margarine, two ounces; artificial
honey, five ounces. The allowance
is virtually the same as the week be
fore, excepting that during the week
previous fourteen ounces of meat
were allowed, and each individual
was allowed live ounces of jam and
seven ounces of sugar. •
Additional allowances for heavy
workers and children are about the
same from week to week. Under this
ruling the workers are permitted to
purchase an additional pound of pota
toes, and children under two years
of age are allowed half a pound of
biscuit with an additional half pound
of cereal.
Butter and eggs are not to be found
in the markets, but surreptitiously a
trade in them is carried on. An egg
is worth from a mark to a mark and
a half, and butter brings from fifteen
to twenty marks a pound. Special
efforts have been made recently by
the German civil authorities to stamp
out this trading in luxuries which,
they contend, has been continued for
years.

GERMANY’S WAR DEBT
WILL BE PAID IN FULL
MUNICH, Jan. 10 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—"The one
debt which Germany never under any
circumstances would repudiate, no
matter how hard pressed it might be
come, is its war loan,” said a Ba
varian financier recently. He based
his opinion on the fact that the war
loans are so thoroughly distributed
among the people that a failure to
pany any one or any part of any loan
would hit hardest those who can least
afford to lose.
Bavaria is a good example of the
universality of the loan holdings, for
no less than 1,430,000 families, or
nearly everyone in the former king
dom, took at least some of the nine
loans. All of them are, of course, in
timately interested not only in the
payment of the loan they hold, but in
the conduct of the financial affairs of
Germany. Reports of the amounts
taken by Bavarians in three German
loans would seem to indicate, when
compared with the 1,430,000 total
above, that hundreds of thousands of
persons subscribed over and over
again.
The Bavarian savings banks, with
the deposits of relatively a small di
vision of the former German empire,,
invested 471,500,000 marks in the first
eight loans, and their depositors with
money not in banks subscribed an
other 293,300,000 marks. The state
insurance agencies against sickness,
the Bavarian co-operative societies
and the ordinary insurance companies,
added a total of 96,300,000 marks to
the first seven loans.
ONLY FOUR VOTERS IN
COUNTY PAID TAXES
ST. AUGUSTINE (by Associated
Press) Feb. 11.—Because only four
voters in newly-formed Flagler county
paid their 1918 poll tax, Governor
Catts of Florida has postponed until
March 4 a special election in that
county to name a member of the
Lcwer House of the Legislature. The
governor in his proclamation does not
| refer to the dearth of qualified voters
but says "several citizens of said
county desire to have said election
postponed.”
Under a recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court, which
held that the legal quorum shall vote
and be all sufficient, it is declared the
four voters oould have elected the
representative had the election been
held on the date originally set.
Flagler county originally was a part
of St. Johns county, of which St. Au
gustine is the county seat.

JAPANESE OFFICER
WAS EASILY SATISFIED.
VLADIVOSTOK, Dec. 28 (by mail!.
—Japanese military records undoubt
edly contain the name of an American
general connected with the American
expeditionary force which does not
appear on the American army roll. A
group of American engineers were re
turning from Harbin recently in a
special car. A Japanese officer pushed
his way into the car and demanded to
know who the occupants were. One
of the engineers answered the car.
contained twenty-one American of
ficers.
“Who is the senior officer?” pur
sued the Japanese.
“That’s enough —” began the en
gineer.
“General Enough?” interrupted the
officer.
“Yes, General Enough,” said the
engineer.
The information was duly noted in
the Japanese officer’s notebook.

CANADIANS TO SEE
FAMOUS MYSTERY SHIP
WINNIPEG, Feb. 4 (by Associated
Press.)—Information from Ottawa of
ficially confirms reports that one of
the much discussed British “mystery
ships” that preyed on unsuspecting
German submarines will cross the
Atlantic in the spring and visit a
number of American and Canadian
ports on the Great Lakes. It would
be the first allied warship to come to
the lake region.
Mystery ships, a carefully guarded
naval secret, were built with a draft
of three and a half feet, making them
almost immune from torpedo attacks.
They resemble slow-going, helpless
tramps, but carried guns of sufficient
caliber to sink any submarine afloat.
Because of their light draught, the
boats are able to navigate the St.
Lawrence canals. Tentative plans, it
is understood, provide that the “mys
tery ship” to be sent over will carry
an interesting exhibit of naval weap
ons and trophies.

RICHES OF WEST SIBERIA
IN TIMBER PRODUCTS
VLADIVOSTOK, Jan. 2 (by mail).—
Three forests of the lower Amur,
Khabarovsk, Lower Amurskoe and
Nikolaevsk regions, comprise nearly
90,000,000 acres of forest ground, says
the Vladivostok Primorskaya, which
adds that without exhausting their
wealth these forests can produce 24,
000,000 cubic feet of lumber annually:
Nickolaevsk, the port from which
it would be exported, needs only some
improvements to make it available,
says the newspaper. To prepare this
wood for shipping to the international
market it would be necessary to over
come needless formalities and to at
tract popular savings for the exploita
tion of these sleeping riches.
