GERMANY’S FOOD PROBLEM
IS A DIFFICULT ONE
BERLIN.—Dr. Kuczynskl, director
of the Schoneberg Statistical Bureau,
in an article in the Tageblatt, adds
his voice to those who previously
have demanded that the government
take over the supply of potatoes In
Germany, as it has done in the case
of flour and grain. The doctor re
fers to the advice given to Germans
that each person, In order to eke out
the supply of grain, should increase
his potato consumption by 400 grams
daily, and he says that if this advice
be followed, the present potato supply
would not last over four months. As
suming that the present ratio of po
tatoes devoted to the feeding of
swine be maintained, Dr. Kuczynski
believed that expropriation is the on
Jy way to maintain equable consump
tion.
Berlin Socialists, at a number of
recent meetings, also have demand
ed the expropriation of potatoes as
well as of meat. The vice-president
Of the Prussian state ministry de
clared in the Diet last week that the
expropriation of potatoes had been
'considered, but found impossible of
fulfilment.
SEEKING HOME

parted On Alameda With Best
Wishes of Valdez Friends.
Rev. Charles S. Price, who has been
pastor of the Congregational church
in Valdez for nearly two years, left
on the Alameda last night accompan

During their stay In Valdez Mr. and
Mrs. Price have endeared themselves
to the members of the congregation
and all who came in contact with
them, and it was with sincere regret
that their many friends bid them
good-bye. Mr. Price is hopeful of se
curing a pastorate in some California
city where the climate will be more
favorable for the health of hmiself
and Mrs. Price. He stated that he
would always remember the many
kindnesses of Alaskans with whom
he had come in contact.
