ich compelled him to pay income-tax on an income of L25,000 per annum.

Another scandalous affair was discovered in Herr von Batocki's new
Imperial Food Department. One of his officials, Bernot by name, was
bribed by numerous East Prussian landowners to have the crops from their
estates bought by the Government at exorbitant prices. Bernot pocketed
some L15,000, and the landowners in question sold their wheat at a
profit of 700 per cent.--Wireless Press.
