PRICES IN DUSSELDORF
ARE SOARING STEADILY
—
j DUSSELDORF, Germany. — The
German authorities have reported
that there is plenty of food in the
vicinity of Dusseldorf but it is diffi
cult for the poorer classes to pur
chase it on cards, because the food
is held for the high prices obtained
for smuggled goods.
Meat when obtained legitimately
is quoted at the normal equivalent
of $1.20 a pound, butter at $1.40,
] eggs at 20 cents each, flour at five
cents a pound and sugar at 24 cents
a pound.
The same foods if sold by smug
glers bring from two to five times
| those prices. Bacon is sold by
smugglers for the normal Equivalent
of four dollars to seven dollars a
pound. The men and women en
gaged in the smuggling trade call
upon their customers in the cities
at night and buy their supplies in
the country in the day.

GERMAN EMM IGRATION
REGARDED AS MENACE
BERLIN’. — Unfavorable freight
tonnage balance against Germany
after the declaration of peace,
threatens to become one of the
chief incentives for the stimulation
of emigration from Germany, in
te opinion of the Allgemeine Zeitung.
“Our principal need will be an
abundance of foodstuffs and taw
materials”, it says, “but the lack
of export commodities will give
ample room for human freight on
return voyages.
“Even at a time when we an
ticipated more auspicious peace
terms, attention was called to the
necessity of adopting measures re
stricting emigration in the interest
of economic reconstruction. Ger
man workingmen should therefore
take to heart the warning that their
actions at this time are liable *to
play an important role in German
industry and its ability to compete
in the markets of the world.”
The Vowaerts urges sending of all
surplus unemployed technical work
ers into the rural districts for the
purpose of enlarging the cultivated
area and raising the yield of agri
cultural products.
FORMER ALLIES TURN
AGAINST HIGHWAYMEN
DURANGO CITY, Mex—The pool
peons of Durango state have turned
against the bandits who operate ir
the isolated mountain districts oi
this state. As long as the poot
ranchers and cattlemen were friend
ly to the roving bands it was almost
impossible to trail them with gov
ernment troops. But these brigands
recently have been robbing the poor
and the latter have been furnishing
accurate information to the govern
ment of the whereabouts of the
armed bands. In the past these
people have acted as spies for the
bandits, advisiing them when troops
were near. As a result of the in
formation furnished the govern
ment officers, twelve bandits were
captured recently and shot.
These bandits have been operat
ing along the railroad between
Durango City and Tepehuanes. They
hold up trains, kill the small escolta,
or train guard, rob everyone on the
train of their valuables, clothing,
shoes and even underwear and haul
away the loot to the hills after set
ting fire to the train. Should the
train consist of freight and pass
enger cars the bandits have carts
to haul away the merchandise, which
is cached in the mountains or sold
to buy smuggled ammunition.
