German Howl For c ood
Wholly Without Reason
By ,-fssceiated Press
American Army rf Occupation,
Jan. 4.— According to estimates made
by intelligence officers of the Ameri
can Third Army, after an investiga
tion. it appears that in the area oc
cupied by the American troops the
cities and towns have enough of most
foods to last during the winter, and
the country district have enough to
carry them through the spring. The
most critical shortage is in fats and
milk. Sugar stocks have been am
ple until recently, but fresh sup
plies are not in sight and the stock
on hand will be exhausted in about
six weeks.
The country districts are much
better supplied with food, and a por
tion of thi surplus finds its way to the
wealthy classes in the cities by means
of ill.cit trading.

Police are bending their energies
to break up the latest syndicate of

ceptionally well. He was on the
program at Chestnut Street Audi- i

purpose Mr. Black walked to the
piano before each number, struck
the harmonic chord and yielded to
an impulse to play an arpeggio or

SUN LIGHTS SEA
AS HOUNDED ARE
TAKENOFF SHIP
Gloom of Three Days Shat
tered by Burst of Bright
ness at Fire Island
By Associated Press
Fire Inland, N. Y„ Jan. 4.—Remov
al of 200 wounded, the last of the
Army transport Northern Pacific's
soldier passenger list aboard the
stranded liner, was begun early to
day under clearing skies and in an
even sea. Submarine chasers and
naval launches, carrying the men to
the hospital ship Solace, were ex
pected to complete the operation be
fore noon.
Four naval launches drew along
side the ship, wheih developed a
heavier seaward list during the
night.
As the first party of litter cases
were lowered over the troopship's
side, the soldiers saw the sun for
the first time since their transport
ran aground, within a few hours of
their home port, early Wednesday
morning. The submarine chaser, her
deck brown with prone and sitting
figures in khaki, shot away from the
big vessel's lee in a flood of sun
light. Motorboats followed in the
chaser's wake, wallowing through
the seas toward the hospital ship
Solace, which had edged shoreward
to within less than n mile of the
Northern % Pacific. Observers on
shore, watching through glasses, saw
the helpless soldiers raised aboard
the hospital ship through her ports.
The Solace was rolling heavily, but
the Navy men worked skilfully and
the rescues were effected without ac
cident.
When two big wrecking tugs, aft
er an hour's work, failed to stir the
troopship. Imbedded In ten feet of
sand, naval vessels began taking ofT
baggage in an effort to lighten the
vessel.
Captain Meade, coastguard officer
in charge of naval operations on
shore, said the transport was under
i little strain and in no danger, She
grounded, he added, at high tide and
with a south wind driving the seas
j high on the beach and similar con
j ditions would facilitate her salvage.
| Army, coastguard and Red Cross
| workers, ■till on duty on the teach.
I kept vigil in a biting northwest
' wind, with a temperature below
' freezing, whtle the aftermath of the
1 night's snowstorm crowded the sand
dunes.

j confidence. His stage presence was]
I one of the most attractive features

; never hesitant, and with just the
right poises. There were many mu
sical people who regretted that , one
of his numbers at least was not diore
1 pretentious than the light character
! of the program permitted. Mrs. Ley's
I voice, too, proved vibrant, and when
' she employed a top note in the "Star

fective hold the audience broke out
into cheering. Mrs. Ley is soprano
