DEPRESSED GERMANY
The Terrible Industrial Difficulties
Through Which 1t Has Passed.
Consul General Mason at BERLIN
writing of the situation, says Ii
Ia Due DISCRETION Of
Farms for the Cities.

Germany's terrible industrial de-
preston is due to The change Of The
whole economic balance OF the empire,
the result being a vast oNerproduetlon
of many kinds of merchandise but an
underproduction of fuuC materials.
This change of balance was caused by
the population within IL year, chang
ing from agricultural To professional
pursuits or some form az Industry or
trade. Farmers have gone to the cit
les so rapidly that not enough are lett
on the farms to produce enough food
to feed the people. Prices have IN
creased to such an extent that only
the rich are able to pay those cemand-
ed. This information has been for
warded to the department of state by
Consul General Mason at Berlin. who
has written an Interesting review on
the conditions existing il nermany'

tive labor from agriculture 10 indus

HARD ON THE INDIANS.
Agent Erwin Declares the Red Men
ON Reservation In Oklahoma are
Idle. WORTHLESS and Dissipated'

A severe arrangement of the In
dams on the Ponca Otto and Oakland
reservation. in Oklahoma, is made oy
Agent Erwin, in charge of the res
eryation. in his annual report to the
commissioner of Indian affairs. Inc
report says:
Hardly any of the young Indians
those who have graduated from non
reservation schools, as well as those
who have attended for number OF
wears, do any work at all. 1t can De
set down as a perfectly safe rule that
as class the young educated IN
dians are the most worthless ones III
the whole tribe. Nearly all OF the
work done by the tribes is periormeo
nv the middle-aged able-bodied Ones
who cannot write or speak English.
The educated Indian coming from the
schools usually gives the excuse that
he has nothing with which to WORK.
neither money, implements nor STOCK
of any kind. This is true but l no
tice that they manage To i've VI,
their annuities and lease money ana
buy horses. buggies, etc, ON credit
land borrow money from the banks
with very little prospect of ever be-
ing able to pay their debts. ANY aoie'
bodied man or woman is able To 90
tain work at fair wages, Many OF tht
neople are addicted to drink ah'
both men and women are lnNe'era,'
gamblers. They have praet'can'
nothing to do. Their days are Speh
( in almost utter idleness and vice AM
, debauchery are rampant. the aegra
dation of these people will contihu
> and increase until they are made I
!. work and live by the result OF the'
: labors."
As remedy for this condition q
laffairs the agent recommends una

at reservation boarding sehooi
'' further education being 90 per cen
&c waste of effort and money; That III
