Berlin, Feb. 6: (By Mail.)-—A few persons claiming to be Americans re- mained in Berlin during the entire war. When. the first Americans ar- rived after the armistice,. mostly _{ncwspaper men and prisoner com- missioners, these claiming-to-be. Americans flocked around. Their stories usually begin with narration of how their hearts weat for America, how they long to re- turn, and end with offers to do any- thing to take mail to America, or send a telegram. Investigation usually reveals that these suddenly-bécome-Americans have allowed their naturalization ar-: rangements to drop, and that they have some ulterior motive in getting connections with America. Some of them have been working for the Ger- mans against America. The Anglo-Ambérican propagand- ists continue to publish two antl- American and anti-British papers in Berlin, which are dirtier and meaner than ever in their efforts. English- American-dances are held and adver- tised in newspapers, to indicate that a foreign colony exists, The annual meeting of the Com- mercial club will be held .tomorrow at which time officers and directors will be elected. Only those who are in good standing with all dues paid will be allowed to vote for candi- dates. (By United Press.) Toklo, Feb. 6. (By. Mail.)—Ger- man merchants have bgenidriven out of business in' Japan,’'agcording to officials of the depart: t. of agricul- ture and commerce, #ithough some still retain their offices a few are allowed to put deals through under rigid supervision by the Japanese government. Some of these offices which remain are to be given up, and the companies will withdraw com- pletely from the country, according to report. They have apparently de- spaired of all chances of trade after the war. According to the latest official us, there are-64 German firms in Japan. There are 24 in Kobe and 22 _in .Yokohams, but -as many of hem . hkave .branehes, . which . aré counted:separafely. this number may be reduced if ‘iBe distinct firms He carefully. enumerated. - Tokio* has seven German firms and Osaka three, with a few others in smaller towns. Another census shows that there are still 764 German residents in this country, although not all of these are interested in the firms. Many of the Germans.who were interested jn business here were depdrted during the war. Such was the case with the German Asiatic bank, the Ger-: man financial fnstitution in this conntry, which now is entirely in- active.

Many poultry growers, especially beginners, have the impression that oyster shells make a good grit. for fowls, but such s not the case. Oyster shells, In some respects do help to grind the fowl's food, but the chief migsion is to make bone, muscle and feathers. They form the shell of the eyg, or assist in this matter and at the same-time aid in making a complete ration when fowls are fed charcoal and grit together with- their grain ra- tions, If you Lkeep them before the hens and do not feed fat-producing feeds, they will prevent soft-shelled eggs and keep them from acquiring the egg-eating habit, which is one of the greatest losses ever experienced by any poultryman. In almost every feed given to fowls we find a shortage of ash. The oyster shells supply this wint .of ash and the hens lay thelr fuil giicta of eggs.
