EATING SPORT FOR GERMANS It Is Principal Indoor and Outdoor Pastime BY MILTON BRONNER ESSEN, Germany, July 12—The principal indoor sport of the Ger-| mans seems to be eating. Likewise the principal outdoor | sport. I made these two entries tn my! diary after seeing people feed in the| leading hotels and restacrants of) Kerlin, Hamburg, Essen and other big German cities, SPEND MUCH FOR “EATS AND DRINKS® ' To the superficial observer it would seem as if they spend more! money on “cats and drinks” than | anyone else, Tho dining tooma tn the hotels| are crowded. The better class res-| taurants are the sama You find! shoals of people taking a little snack | at 10 in the mérning, other shoals enjoying afternoon coffee and cakes, | and still others eating expensive aft-| ertheatre suppers. But to let it go! at that would be merely to paint a/ one-sided and lopsided picture, I have seen fat, redjowled Ger-! man profiteere—they are called “schelbers” over here—enjoying all the luxuriés from rith soups to French champagnes and hothouse strawberries and peaches out of sca non, Thon I have gone not six squares from the restaurants where I saw these performances, passed pale faced, thin-legged children, and have | seen how poorlydressed women shopped from pubhearts, So-called Gried fruite—figs and dates of doubt- ful age, dried apples and peaches that seemed both dusty and worm- eaten-—were selling at five marks a | pound. And often the breadwinner only made 40 marks a qpy. After a further inv@Stigation, I realized how small a proportion of the German nation one sees in the big restaurants, These luckier folk are the war Profiteers and the men and women who had money before the war and who, in spite of heavy taxes, still have enough to live well STATE CONTROLS SUGAR SUPPLY ‘The state controls the eugar sup- ply and each person is allowed \150 grams a week, Bread is regulated and each person ts allowed four pounds a week. There are restric: tions as to the free sale of milk and eggs and butter in various parts of Germany. Germans explained to me that one reason I saw so many people eating in hotels, was that In this way they supplemented the bread, butter and sugar they were able to have in thelr own homes, The well-todo people, either tn their own homes, the hotels or the clubs, can manage very well. The German middie class, espe clally the amalfshop keepers, the lower grade of government officials, the teachers, clerk® and minor pro- fessional people, have a bard time of it One of the results of the high! prices has been big reduction in| the physical amounts of certain} things consumed, Thus, if we represent the amount | of meat consumed by Germany in 1913 as 62, we find that last year it only consumed 20, It used 83 of| flour as against @ prewar 125, It ate 14.8 of sugar against a pre-war 19.2. In 1913 Germany consumed 68 | million hectolitres of beer; last year only 25 millions, But before the war the beer drunk cost 2.70 bil-| lions of gold marks, Last year the smaller quantity cot 7.60 billions of | paper marks.
