"AVOlD AMERICA"
Advice Of Official German Paper to
Possible immigrants.

Berlin, June 7.-"Keep awav from
America
Such is the warning which the Off
cial Berliner Correspondent gives
solemnly to young Germans thinking
of going to the United States in hope
of becoming clerks in business houses.
The newspaper says d visit to America
during the unfavorable business con-
ditions there can be only beneficial to
those young men who have money and
VINO aim to extend their proficiency
in their special branches of business.
But those Berliners who have little
or no ready money are strongly ad-
vised to go to America.
The Correspondent points that the
American law which forbids working
men whose services have been con-
tracted for abroad to enter the country
applies also to clerks. Moreover it is
not customary in the United States to
engage clerks and business assistants
by correspondence. So the German
clerk or young business man who goes
to America takes a long chance. Not
only does the supply of clerks and as
sistants greatly exceed the demand. but

most American firms object to en-
ploying foreigners. The mote of warn
ing" ends thus:
Generally speaking. the prospects of
the clerk of business assistant are not
better than they are in Germany. The
average wages paid in America are
not higher thar those paid in Germany,
considering the DEAFNESS of living there.
Only in the best posts are the salaries
relatively higher than in Germany. The
conditions of work are more agreea-
BILE in many respects than in Ger
many; the working hours are short
err, but nothing is known in America of
the many provisions of the German
commercial provisions of the German
commercial code in the interests of
employees in business houses, and that
employees can be dismissed in the
United States at any moment without
notice"

The great practical utility of the

is shown by new magnetic chart,
from which it appears that the charts

Pacific ocean were erroneous along
some much traversed routes to the OK
tent of from three to five degrees and
the errors at times were systematic.
Errors of this magnitude are of impor-
