HITLER’S COFFEE SEIZED
SUPPLY FROM ADEN SHIPMENT OF TWO TONS (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 9 a.m. RUGBY, Sept. 23. Some amusement has been aroused by a story obtained from authoritative sources that the contraband committee lias ordered seizure for judgment by the Prize Court of 20 bags of coffee, weighing more than two tons, consigned from “Aden to Hamburg on August 12,” and addressed to “His Excellency, Herr Hitler, President of the Republic of Great Germany. Freight paid.”
There is jus'ification for the leader’s foresight in ordering ample supplies of coffee, “for the duration” as coffee is a commodity which the mass of the German people now have to do without in the interests of the Nazi State.
