Eight of the number were women. The

still a child, was badly disfgured. One
man had a gaping wound on the left

were wounded in the head. None had

may fairly be said to mark the most
interesting recent social legislation
that is to be found anywhere in the
world.
The significance of the movement in
Germany will be better understood
when it is noted that 100000 Ger
man workmen are contributing to and
enjoying the benefits of the pension
system. That significance is empha-
sized when we learn that since the
inception of the system in 1885 the to-
tai receipts have reached $1,75O,ooO,-
600. At the present time the annual
receipts are in excess of $l3O,OO0,OOO,
an amount sufficient to make us con-
slider with much interest the economic
consequence of the plan.
