THIEVES’ MALLLL
RIGA. Aug.1.1-——The sotcalled
“thieves' markets" at Europe are to-
day crowded with -the product of
American factories. When the A'mer-
lean Army went home. enormous
stocks or equipment of various kinds
were disposed at in France and Ger-
many, by sale and .otherwise. and
much of this surplus has found its
way to the many open air gatherings
or the continent Where men and wom-
en bargain for I1 mlscellancous mass
of articles under the tacit under—
standing that one must not inquire
whence the things come.
In the market of Riga, covering an
area of two blocks. there are oflered
for sale daily large quantities of Unit-
ed States Army paraphernalia, partic-
ularly clothing and saintarr articles
bearing the names of diflerent Ameri-
can relief organizations. Ameiican
phonographs give daily concerts ot
American ails, which invariably at-
tract the crowds trom the music at
competitors with their German ma-
chine: playing Russian tunes. Ameri~

in some stalls, and in others there are
American-made knives and forks, vie-
ing with German, Polish and Russian
manufactured goods or the saint- kind.
Also, there are thousands 01 old and
worn collars, still carrynig the mark
which gives their birthplace as Troy.
New York.
The purchdser takes his pick at his
own price, provided he can reach an
understanding with the polyglot store-
keeper, who will bargain with him in
any one or the four or dye languages
now current in the strcuis of Riga.
