Friday continued painstaking eff
fort to trace the 100000 in cur

healthy workman gets occupation.
If possible, and remains insured.
Lastly, some communities have
also approached the question of in
surfing workmen against involuntary
idleness, and thus providing assist
ance for them when they are out of
employment.
The cities also are devoting ever
increasing attention to the housing
of the workmen employed by them
and of the less prosperous inhabi-
tants of their districts in general.
ON the one hand, they construct
cheap dwellings of small size for
the municipal workmen, or they
stipulate by statute that such devil
llngs constructed by them only be
let or sold to workmen and sub
altern officials, on the other hand,
they encourage private buildings or
building societies to construct such
dwellings by granting them ner-
tain labors and subventions in money
or by conceding municipal ground
to build on.
"The towns are further endeavor-
ing to satisfy the requirements OF
the working classes for education,
for these requirements are steadily
increasing with the improvement of
the workmen's material position.
For that reason a number Of COM
munities have instituted compulsory
industrial schools for youths, popu-
lar libraries, reading rooms, lectures,
Housekeeping schools for the in
habitants, especially the workmen.

Americans of German Descent
Have Cemcntcd Relations.
Milwaukee, Wis, May THE
German ambassador, Count Johann
Heinrich Won Bernstorff, spoke today
before the German club. He said
among other things:
I'VE believe that the unique
position of the Americans of Ger
man descent benefits both countries
by making their relations more in
innate. AS to all other hopes of
ours regarding the Germans in Am
erica, we hope for the fulfillment
of purely cultural mission. This
could not be fulfilled if the Ger
mans in any way should isolate
themselves from their fellow citi-
zens. We hope that you will up
hold the wonderful old German cul-
ture to help make it permeate Am
erican life like the leaven in the
measures of meal, in the parable.
Let me call your attention to the
scene in Faust in which the mar
riage of Faust to Helena Symbol
Lies the fusion Of the Greek and
the German spirits. Greek culture
is in fact so merged with German
culture that both today are insep-
arabic. A mission similar to that
performed by tha Greek culture
among us in Germany lies before the
German element in America. The
German spirit may become strong
factor in the resulting American
culture. That is a most important
task which is worth the sweat Of
the noble, and in the performance
Of which you above all are appoint
