Berlin, April 30.—By the first June’ at latest ‘the Amerikanische Hilfs Kuche or American war kitchen —is to go out of commission, want of funds, it is one of the most popular places of 'its’ kind in the city. of It came into existence October 19, 1914, and up to thé middle of April has spent, for feeding alonhe, about' 15,000 marks. Fifty women from the American colony, in alternating groups, of eight have gladly given their time in serving the war suf. ferers. As the war has progressed, how- ever, the membership in the Ameri- § can colony here has slowly but stead- ily decreased, and funds for the | kitchen have come in more and more slowly, and their end is now in sight. Prices of Supplies Increase. The Americans set out to give away 4 ‘mea) costing, éxclusive of labor or any dther item, 30 pfennigs. Sup- plies have gone up in price, how- ever ,and the same food that in Oc. tober cost 30, now costs 35 pfennigs —another item in hastening the end. With a big, light, airy = building placed rent-free at their disposal, the | Americans tried to feed 200 persons a day, with a meal that in many cases has proved to be much better than that formerly ‘enjoyed by the bene- ficiaries in their homes in times of péace, Women. Render Assistance. “In selecting the¢ persons—mostly women—deserving of help, the kitch- en has had invaluable service. from the “National Frauendienst” or asso- ciation for helping women, This or- gdnizdtion has taken over entirely the matter of issuing cards entitling persons to meals, and has exercised scrupulous care to see that there was| no imposition. The moment that a woman’s hus. band géts work, or some other avenué of income has been opened up to her, the Frauendienst has shut off her privileges at the kitchen. ‘Woman Lauds Meals. Thus recently a woman who had been coming to the kitchen regularly for three weeks entered on the Mon- day of the fourth—without a card. Sobbing and weeping she K admitted that she had been to the Frauendienst and had been refused a card, and under pressure said the reason for the refusal was that her husband was again back to work and earning money. P igomewhat surprised that she should ‘continue to seek assistance’ under those circumstances, the women ‘at \the kitchen pressed her, for her sea- son—and got it. “I—I know my man is again,” sobbed the woman, you s.see, the meals are SO here.” working “b-b-but good Admitted at Noon, The beneficlaries of the kitchen as- semble at Schlesischestrasse 28 promptly at noon and are admitted on the hour.: They present their cards from the Frauendienst and are given a brass check, which they turn for i notwithstanding that WOMAN WOULD NOT GIVE UP Though Sickand Suffefing, s At l Last Found Help in Lydia E.

The other twa-thirds, almost invariably neatly dressed and well-mannered, sit at negt, white-covered individual tables in a cheery big room decorated with the intertwined American and German flags.

Paris, April 30.—Thirty-twe per cent, of the work formerly done in Paris by men street sweepers, subway Buards, elevator attendants, trolley car conductors and telegraph opera- tors, is now done by women. Bvery arrondissement or admini trative district in Paris has a mun cipal employment agéncy, where e ployers who want help, and persons who want ‘work register. No other agencies are recognized by law. The employer must pay the nominal fees. Tnquiries at various bureaus show that among laboring classes servants suf- fer most from the war.' Mbst French families reduced the wages of their sefvants the first week of mobiliza- | tion, and many were discharged. There are now long waiting lists of servants, looking for any sort of employment. This catego: includes many govern- esses, and private tutors, who, ow'ng to the economy campaign in French families, find themselves out of work Two mionths ago, there were twent per cent, more dressmakérs and tail_ ofs assistant out of employment than at present, showing that with me; coming of spring, fashions are again receiving some attention. For certain branches of office em- ployment, such as méssengers, office boys and porters more applications are received from employers than can be filled. The scarcity has’ lead to the increase 'in wages from five to~ ten per cent., as youths are being eon- tinually symmoned to join the colors with the new classes. On the other hand, highly trained employees; uc- countants, book-keepeérs, stemograph- | ers, office managers, and typis difficulty in securing positions majority of large offices have adopted a policy of retremchment, or are holding open the vacancies, caused by the mpbkilization of former em- | ployees. Hitherto it has been, the custom for | an applicant for a position to state the minimum salary required, also the kind of employment desired. At pres- | ent, many say that they will perform any duty, even the most menial, and will ¥ely on the pounty of their em- | ployer. EUROPE BIG MARKET FOR AMERICAN ngn‘ | Total Exports of All Kinds Average Abount $11,000,000 a Year— Canned Salmon in Lead. Washington, D. C, May 7.—In| gpite of the fact that there are great sections of the United States where" fish is uscd sparingly, the output of American fisheries is as valuable as that of any country in the world, The total production in 1908, ,the latest year for which complete statistics are ! available, was somewhat in excess of 1,893,000,000 pounds, If to this are added a considerable excess of .im- ports over exports and a reasonable increase in the catch since 1908, it seems likely that the per capita con- sumption. of fish in the United States now exceeds twenty pounds a year. This is not quite half the per cap- ita consumption in Great Britain, but it is much larger than that of most countries and indicates a very large consumption in the districts where fish is looked upon as an essential part of the diet, so large, in fact, that in seasons of unusually heavy catches it is' impossible to increase the con- sumption sufficiently to use up the surplus fish.. At such times greater efforts are made to sell to the inland districts and, to some extent, abroad. With a view to assisting the exporters of American fish and fish products in their efforts to find-an outlet abroad the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, of the’Department of Com- merce, has published a report entitled “Buropean Markets for Fish.” According to this report our ex- ports abroad heéretofore have consist- ed: principally of canned salmon—an Ameriean product that is favorably known throughout the entire world. The total exports of all kinds average about $11,000,000 a year, and of this | total, canned saimon is valued at $7,- 000,000, fresh salmon at something’ over $1,500,000, dried, smoked, cured, and pickled fish at $1,000,000, and | shellfish at very nearly $1,000,000. The war, has, of course, made come differ- ences in the exports. The most seri- ous dislocation of the trade occurred immediately after the beginning of hostilities, but later a good recovery was made and the value of exports since has been almost normal, canned salmon gaining and shellfish falling off. “European Marlkets for Fish” con- | tains detailed import statistics for | néarly every country in Eurepe and thus affords a means of determining the kind of {ish that finds the most favor. These statistics have been compiled from the original sources by feature of the report. There are also complete statistics for the United States, including a very detailed table of American exports.

MISSIONARIES IN FRANCE, Berry Addresses Union Meet- ing at South Church. The work of spreading religion in France was described to a largeé audi- ence at the South church last night by Rev, George T. Berry, secretary of the American organization of the MecAll Mission. Rev. Dr. G. W. C. Hill pre- sided, it being a union meeting of the city’s churches. The dwelling places in the poorer parts of France are many miles apart and separated by water, so that the missionaries are unable to accomplish their work with rapidity and the liter- ature essential to gospel teaching is distributed by means of boats. “We are working not to ‘make Protestants, but to make Christians,” said Rev. Berry, and it is gratifyving to noté that the work of the mission aleng this line of endeavor is meet- ing with good results.” The mission | co-operates with the authorities in times of hardship in giving relief.
