LONDON, Dec. 8.—German girls sail
"Rule Britannia" and other British songs |
and laughed arid danced with released Brit- j
ish prisoners during the first stage of tin
revolution.
This and other scenes jn Berlin nftei*
the signing of the armistice are described
in the Daily Telegiaph by Professor Wynd«
ham Richards ol* Cardiff, Wales, who was
spending his vacation in Germany wli»"i
the war broke out, and has been a .prisoner
there until recently.
"The soldiers' council of Kuhleben," 'n
writes, "gave the interned some freedom,
those wishing to remain in Germany being
released immediately, and those wishing
to visit Berlin being given passes.
"Berlin may not be occupied by English
J troops, but it certainly was invaded by
j English civilians. In all the main streets.
I cafes, hotels and theaters one met L'ng-
, Mstamcn and heard English spoken. A nun;
bcr of Britishers took the best rooms iu
the Hotel Bristol, for 1- shillings a day.
The happenings o2 those days uro almost
I unbelievable.
{ "Some English friends of inin? met tii •
chief of tlie sailors' council, who was
J degraded officer. He took them to dimuv.
entertaining them at a magnificent repa-'
and then invited them to his offices in the
palace, where he presented them with cost
ly souvenirs. While there, he casual'y
sentenced some officers to imprisonment.
"On November 20 a large party of Eng-
lishmen had a big celebration in the Lin-
den Buffet. Enter den Linden. German
girls present, many of whom, daughters
of wealthy Berliners, had gone to school
in England, Joined with the English sing-
ing 'Rule Britannia' and other British
songs.
"Nobody interfered or resented. At tho
Zentral Bar. which is a turfmen's resort,
English was the language generally spoken.
( Many jo( keys interned at Bnhleben had
I received tempting offers from German rac
horse owners, but had refused them.
"Late in the evening a crowded car
started back to Kuhleben, Englishmen
hanging on the sides, front and back, all
feeling good, laughing, singing and cheer-
ing, driving right through Berlin, meeting
no objections and finally hammering on the
gates of the Kuhleben camp for admit-
tance.''

ceived official notice this week of the
death of his sun, Lieut. Heath Ewell, from
bronchial l neumonia while en route to

preciable relief in the situation, as a re-
sult. Merchants have threatened to raise
the price of their commodities if offered
payment in the new coins. Their argu-
ment is that, in the case of foreign goods,
they have to pay for them on the basis
of a gold standard, while they are paid
in a currency that is under par and is
bound to depreciate. The government has
replied by making the new coins legal
teuder in quantities of less than 20 pesos,
and guaranteeing to exchange gold for the
new coins in quantities exceeding tuat^
amount. Notwithstanding the efforts of
the government to bring about a normal i
state of affairs, merchants are still en
., untering difficulty in obtaining
"change.'^ The silver is held by specu- j
lators who "stand in" with the employes
of the mint and the government deposito- i
ries, and these speculators obtain a pre-
mium of from '2 to 8 per cent for silver.
New Half-Peso to Be Made.
Although the old tostones may still be
seen occasionally, they will eventually dis-
appear and their place will be taken by
a new half-peso, the coinage of which has
not vet begun. The government has also
introduced a new gold coin, the "cuarto de
Hidalgo." which is valued at -k- pesos
(SI 2«"i, 1. S < >. The public would prob
ably fie more slow about accepting this
new coin, owing to its small size, and the
ease with which h may be lost, were ii
not for the fact that it to some degree
relieves the present financial situation. Ot
these there have been coined Up to the
present UiOO.UOU pesos. The governmnt
is now coining pesos at the rate of 70,-
(J00 a day.
To Stimulate Mining.
In order to encourage the mining and
exportation of silver at the present time,
and thereby to benefit by the high price
of silver which is now obtained throughout
the world, President Carranza on Novem-
ber IS issued a decree which Is calculated
to stimulate the work of the mines and
induce a greater output. By this decree
tlie government definitely goes on record
la- desiring to assist all mining companies.

;ind investors did not feel the security that
should obtain under a constitutional gov •
eminent. However, now. the decree de-
clares. conditions have changed. The gov-
ernment has been successful in dispersing
the bandits, who no longer threaten com
munieations, making travel unsafe and the
transportation of silver insecure.
The government officially calls attention
to the fact that these unfavorable condi-
tions no longer exist, and that all the fa
cilities and securities exist today that are
necessary in any country for the protec-
tion of property and the complete develop-
ment of any business enterprises. Presi-
dent Carranza moreover states that he has
adtlre.«M'd circulars to all provincial gover
afors. directing them to co-operate to the ,
Tulle<t extent of their powers In the en J
couragemcut of the mining industries of
the country.
The only limitation that Is placed in any
wav upon the operations of mining com-
panies in Mexico today is the requirement
that one fourth of the output of the mines
be retained in some form within the coun-
trr. This tray be in the disposal of the
mineral Itseif, or the sale of it in exchange
for gold or some other commodity, and
thus retained within the country.
A large number of mines have resumed
operations, and at the present time the
larger part of their output is exported to
the United States. Seldom a day passes
that quantities ranging from $75,000 to
$l.m,ooo valuation in silver bullion does
not pass th- frontier.

NEW YORK, Dec. S. A new drying
process by which meats and fish can be
kept Indefinitely and then restored to their
former state of freshness by the applica-
tion of water and which, it is believed,
will Increase tlie v rids meat shipping
capacity more th*vr elve times by doing
away with the » «.t refrigeration, liu«
been perfected ',i the chemical engineering
laboratories at Columbia I nlviTslty, it was
announced tonight.
"During a period <.f comprehensive
tests," the statement said, "meats that had
been dried and kept a year were restored
in their fresh state and served in the
homes of professors attached to the
laboratory. Three handled pounds wa.;
sent to a camp in the South and served
to the soldiers. Reports from the camp
state that those who ate the restored meat
failed to discover any difference between
it and strictly fresh meat."
By the process, it was asserted, all bon ,
waste fat ami connective tissue are re
moved from the meat or fish to be treated,
leaving 100 per cent food. The meat N
then cut into c ubes, or, in the ease of beef,
into steaks, placed in a vacuum anil sub
jected to a period of drying al a relative!v
Iow temperature. No other treatment is
necessary.
Research into (he subject was begun

NEW YORK. Dec, 8,—Federal aid iu
ending employment of child labor and iu

ers were Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin and
Dr. George D. Strayer. president of the

shall not profit by coining the lives of
little children into dollars and the Gov-
ernment will take from you any money
that you so make.'"
