Alsatian troops garrisoning A'ost arc giving the mili? tary authorities a great deal of trouble. They desert wholesale, and their knowl? edge of Erench enables them to mingle with the civilian population. Of 600 who arrived a fortnight ago only 300 remain. The "Nieuw Kotterdamsche Gourant" learns that eight additional railway track? have been or are being laid be? tween Berlin and Cologne. The enor? mous capacity ol this system makes it the most wonderful strategical railway in the world. It is said now that the system of maxi? mum prices for foodstuffs established by the German government has proved a failure. The official tariffs tor wheat, oats, rye, etc., provided for an auto? matic monthly increase of prices after December 31. The result is that the wholesale dealers nave had to hold back supplies awaiting the January rise. In order to combat this rise it is I found necessary to allow sellers, espe? cially retailers, to charge a commission ur expense?, or fees in addition to the1 statutory price, thus defeating the whole object of the law. The demo? cratic pj-esB is beginning to demand either that the nales shall be made ' rompulsory or that the government' shall simply commandeer supplies and undertake their sale itself.
