ThA Clfrmnn nnvemmenl has bought ft
Liberty Bond, but tho Imperial rulers are
not aware of the fact. In addition to thW
strange development today, Just about
$10,000 of Herman money has been ex
pended In t'nclo Sam's bonds
Gustavus Itcmak, Jr. 360 Bullitt Build
ing, Is trustee for several estates In this
country which were left to peoplo living In
Germany When war was declared between
tho I'nlted States and Germany he had
510,000 In such estates on his hands. Under
the conditions Mr. ltemak could not send
the money to Germany Ho did the next
best thing by Investing tho cash In Liberty
Bonds for tho German beneficiaries
Of tho sum mentioned. 1G0 was due tho
German Government, for it nppears that
under tho law all Germans who Inherit
money from relatives In other countries nre
obliged to pay a tax to tho Imperial Gov
ernment So instead of going for German war bonds
this good German money drops Into tho
treusury of Undo Sam.
Mr rtemnlc advises all attorneys hold
ing funds for aliens to follow his example
and Invest It In Liberty Bonds If they do
not adopt this plan he points out that the
I nlted States Government will get it any
how under the alien prop-t law
It Is said that a numbtr of attorneys of
Philadelphia have taken steps nlong the
bamo line, nnd It Is er probable that many
thousands of dollars cf German money will
go for Liberty Bonds. Tho German resi
dents will get the Interest when tho bonds
maturo which will be long after Uncle Sam
has won the war
'The food crisis Is no longer local. It Is
nntlnnnl. Substantially tho same condi
tions, larylng only In minor details, prevnll
in Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisco and
Scattlo Mr Hoover Is treating It as a na
tional crisis and is dealing with tho situa
tion In such a manner ns to equalize the
burden, so far as possible, over tho entire
country. For some time to come the news
regarding food conditions In Philadelphia
must como from Washington "
In theso words Stato Food Administrator
Heinz this morning sized up the local fftod
situation. Philadelphia's troubles are the
troubles of every other largo city In the
United States. Hoover is sitting on the lid
In Washington, doing his best to straighten
things out for even body, and gradually but
surely things are beginning to look a whole
lot better than they did a few days ago.
The announcement that arrangements
had been made for thojihlpment to eastern
cities of ,300,000,000 pounds of Ioulslana
sugar In the Immediate future and that this
would necessarily result In a gradual re
duction In tho price of sugar to the house
holder was the big news of tho day. This
shipment will begin to move early next
week. It la being taken over by the Amer
ican Sugar lleflnlng Company and will be
distributed at least the first part of It
In New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
Two hundred million pounds of sugar Is a
wholo lot of sugar, but at that It will only
temporarily relieve the situation, and the
housewife must continue to buy judiciously
nnd economically In order for any substan
tial relief to be obtained. If you have been
accustomed to two spoonfuls of sugar In
your coffee In tho past, cut It down to one.
Better still, drink your colTee straight. It
won't hurt you and It will help win tho
war.
Whether or not the big shipment of
Louisiana sugar will tncnp the raising nf
the embargo on sales of sugar to candy
manufacturers cannot be stated at this
time. That depends on orders from
Hoover, nnd the chances aro that Hoover
will wait for a few daya to seo what effect
the shipment has In rellcylng the ,styft
age of sugar ..
At all events, the Louisiana sugar I
coming cast In the next lew das wllH
things over until mo western neet m
and tho Cuban crop begins to move, wK
