DESTROY MILLION
TON OF GRAIN
HKKI.IN . April 4 Half' a millio
tons of grain uere deliberately de
stroyed by the German- rather than
have it fall into the, hands of the vi>
tonous allies.
Another half million Tons *»r grain
were destroyed by the Hermans in
Poland when the poles declared then
independence.
£ne hundred and twenty thou.-ar. :
t<m> of food, mostly dried vegetable
were stolen by demobilizing troop*,
and civilians.
The figures are from P of. Kar
Radlod. chief of the bureau of Sta
tistics of th*» Prussian government
Prof. Ballard says if it hadn't bee*
for this wanton dost met ion. and r.i
view cl the fact that the 1918 harvest
was far better than that of 1917, Ger
many would have been assured a foo i
'U|>{»1 \ till August 1.’*, 1919. Then th*
!!M:» harvest would be ready.
Kven as it is, Prof. Ballod say - ,
Germany could “carry on” till May
1 •*» as far as bread is concerned by re
ducing the bread rations.
This from a statistician or worm
not** is in flat eontiadiction of the
.vails that Germany was already star-1
ving. or would be starving early thi s .
year.
Prof. Ballard figured out the meat j
ati«»n as being one-fifth of the aver,
ige amount consumed per person in j
leaee time. But. he added, “we al
ays did eat too much meat.”
This statistician— who , by the
ay. was a very inefficient propagan
ii>t said the vegetable supply was
.It piate. The only time he agree I
ith th“ “starvation" propagandists j
va in d’ cussing' the lack of fats.

SOLDIERS AT THE I KON I
CARDIFF, WALES, April 4— IL
A. I*.— Testimony to the qualities of
some of the American troops in Fran
ce is given by a girl member of tie*
Woman’s Auxiliary Army Corps in a
letter to her home folks here. She
writes:
“We are stationed inside an Amor
ican camp in a huge old French cav
airy barracks. We are doing clerical
work with hundreds and hundreds of
Vmerieans in the Central Records of
fice. We deal with the whole America .
Army records, and excepting th'
,-ooks, waitresses etcetera* all we odd
100 girls are really the ‘Wanes’ of th<
American Expeditionary Force.
“We love our work, we love tin*
camp and the hoys looks after us well.
They are splendid fellows. We have
comfortable rooms, a recreation room
and hockey and are as happy as pos
sible. And now we are getting up
grand revue called the “Battle of
Bouigas.” 1 am to be a French gl.\\
The chorus is one of the best and th*
music truly American. Fm afraid your

WOMKN TO BKACTIFY CITY
• HONOLLLC, T. H. April 4— The
Outdoor Circle, a woman’s Civic or
ganization, will direct the replanting
of the streets <>f Honolulu with tree's 1
and shrubbery, a work made necessary
by the hurricane of December :i, which
uprooted hundred.- of shade tree*
throughout the city.

HAVANA, April 4— (Correspon
dence of The Associated Press)— This
city is threatened with one of the most
unique strikes ever called. Unlike the
usual strike , the movement will not
be for shorter hours or higher wages.
Thousands of persons in every walk cf
i life, who are occupants of rented
houses and rooms may “strike” again
st their being literally “locked out” oi
their homes by property owners who
are charging exorbitant and illegal
I rents.
Rent in Havana during the last two
’ years has increased about 50 percent,
. and in some cases is reported to hav^
more than doubled , especially in the
poorer quarters.
According to the law a property
owner must file with the city author
ities a sworn statement of the cost $
construction of any building o\fned or I
erected by him, from which figures t
not only the taxes to be collected .
but the rent which may legally be
changed , are fixed. The property own
ers having greatly increased rents,
but without correspondingly augment
ed their tax payments, the renting
public is loudly protesting and there
is being formed an organization which
has for its object the calling of a
strike by renters to force the reduc
tion of rates to something like noima!.
If, the strike is really called those I
taking part will not actually refuse to
pay rent whatsoever, but will decline
to pay more than the municipal record r
calls for.
