Captain von Schwink began the war
as a gunner; then he went into the
' air service and worked with artillery
fighting and bombing squadrons. He
received a staff appointment in 1917,
When General von Below was on the
Italian front in 1917, Schwink served
with hien. When the scene of German
activity and German hopes shifted to
France, von Below was put in com-
mand of the Seventeenth Army, and
Sehwinh went with him.
The German Object.
The main idea of the great German
offensive in 1918; he says, was to
break through to the sea, cutting the
British army into two parts, one of
which was to be driven back on the
channel ports .while the other es to

The allotment of the steamships'
among the associated Powers will be
governed partly by the respective
needs of the nations and partly by
the suitability of the steamships for
use on particular routes. The giant
liners, like the Imperator and the
other big modern steamships finished
th
during e war, are too deep in draft
to mass through the Suez Canal. Hence
Great Britain will take the modetate-
sizecl steamships for the Australian
service, The smaller steamships that
are left to the Germans are for their
needs in the Baltic coastal traffic.
Food to Pay for Ships.
The money will be applied in pay-
ment'for the foodstuffs furnished to
Gerinany under another part of the
agreement,
Equitable remuneration for the use
of those ships is to be paid to Ger-
many. The supplies to be furnished
include 70,000 tons of pork to satisfy
the rgent need of Germany for fats.
The furnishing of 200,000 tons. of
cereals is presided for, but for part
of this arn:t:n t condensed milk may

The meetings at which the shipping
arrangement was elaborated were

Germany to Deliver Ship.
Marshal:' Foch' planned to Twee the
rgreement drafted and signed. at. one
short meeting, but the shipping ex-
ports found "this to be 'impassible.
Three meetings, lasting over midni'g'ht
on Thursday and several hours into
Friday, were necessary for the dis-
cussion of the details.
Another t meet-
ing is planned to be held at the end
of the month. ,
The delegates of the associated gov-
ernments proposed that the Germans
furnish the coal and the ships' stoles.
The Germans protested that this was
impossible, specifying the lubricants
particularly as something they were
unable to furnish. It wets finally ar-
ranged that the Germans furnish the
coal and the stores, and take the
steamships to ports designated by the
Allies, who will then take them over
and man thele.
The Germans stated that the steam-
ships were in shape for immediate
service, having been kept in repair by
the skeleton crews maintained aboard
them during the war.
Europe's Most Corrupt City.
The Prussian capital has been
known for many years as the ...wet

man newspapers have spoken so
frankly about it as the Cologne Yolks.
witting since the censor's ban was
lifted. Here is its latent indictment:
"We should rejoice to see a lire
descend from Heaven and reduce to
cinders the horrible Babel of Berlin.
"To hell with the Berlinerpeople
without soul aril without heart, im-
placable foes of all Kultur. In the
great record book of humanity a anon-
strous debt of- blood is inscribed
against Berlin. He who' has not yet
made himself acquainted with the re-
melting sentiments which have pre-
vailed in the Prussian capital for
eenturiee is wilfully blind.
Berlin is an immense moral cess-
pool. We refuse any longer to be
under its sway."
- ' Still trying fur the sea the Germ'an's
s . organized the attack on April 9, south
of Ypres. This, says Schwink, 'had
Dunkirk and Calais as its objective,
and from the opening of the attack it
was inteniTed• to push right through.

QUEER WAR TRADES
Certain Kinds of /lash -leas That near
Made Profitable.
Some queer and profitable trades
have come into being,since 1914.
Small fortunes appear to be made
in the streets. Hawkers, fined for
profiteering in matches, have been
found recently with large sums in
notes on their persons. A vendor
of camphor in London, who used to
stand on the curb, has decided since
the influenza epidemic to open a shop.
There is a great market for the
teeth of dogs in these days. They
have a commercial value that is not
disclosed by the dealers, but there is
more than one firm in -London don making
a good' thing out of these goods.
Inquiries by a representative bring
to light other queer trades. There is;
for instance, a firm in the Midlands
that carries on a secret trade in
"souvenirs" from France.
A hawker, who made a poor living
out of 'bootlaces and pipe -cleaners
before the war, has'retired on his
profits made in the last three years in
different line of goods. He sold
morous pictures of Kaisers with
Ick moustaches. He owns a cottage
The next clay an officer came in and in

We refused, and he went out to return
