Show Hunger Tower. Food Controller Hoover said at a meatless dinner in Washington: "The German food situation forced on the great German offensive. The hungry German populace was sick of the war and starvation. The kaiser had to attack or knuckle under. "I heard a story the other day from 'Germany. '"A cadaverous tourist was visiting an ancient schloss or castle. After wandering among the moats and donjons don-jons and portcullises awhile, he said to the cadaverous keeper: " 'My guidebook informs me that there's an ancient hunger tower here a tower where they used to starve their prisoners to death.' "'Yes, sir; that's right, sir,' said the keeper. 'This way for the hunger tower, and you'll be just in time for luncheon. You see, sir, it's been made into a restaurant now.' " |
