Great distress is being caused to house
wives by the remarkable dearth of domestic
servants due primarily to German in
dustrial prosperity, which creates great
demand for female labor in all branches of
commerce and manufactures. The young
girls many of whom are imbued at an
early age with revolutionary socialist doc
trines shun the restrictions of domestic
service preferring work in factories and
workshops, with the result that the number
of vacant situations in private houses ex-
ceeds the number of cooks and maids seek
ing positions in the proportion OF ten to
one Each domestic looking for a place Is
sought by two competitors for her services.
The girls demand big wages and get them.
Servants refuse to enter household

tresses giving them written promises to
fulfil their demands. down to the number
Of bottles of beer due to them every day.

led TO extraordinary scenes at the church

have demanded two Polish services 10 one
German. The bishop, a German, refused
and the Poles resolved to take matters into
their own hands. This led to the scenes In
the church in question.
At the close Of the service IT il the Gus

their mind that this hymn was TO be In
Polish. They invaded the choir and while
the German portion of the congregation
was singing a German hymn the Poles
we're occupied with one of their own lang

peace but failed. Regularly on German
days the Poles stoTmed the choir and sang
their psalm. 1t came at last to a series OF
fights and the bishop decided that the
church had been desecrated and it has been
closed.
