GENERAL GERMAN
SPEECH SOCIETY
MEETS TROUBLE
Fail to Enforce Arbitrary
Changes Wedding Out
Foreign Words.

Berlin, Nov. 16.-Local authorities
in various towns and, cities having
failed to enforce certain arbitrary
changes in language, to the end that
all words Of foreign origin might be
weeded out, the minister of>the int
rior has taken a hand in the matter.
In communication to all the presi-
dents Of individual governments, he
urges that they give up the effort to
weed out foreign words by compulsion
and that rather they work along lines
Of common sense, leaving such words
as are almost impossible Of replace
ment or translation into German, and
urging the acceptance Of other words
that may take the place of foreign
words meaninglessly adopted
He suggests that a list of German
substitutes for foreign words, drawn
up by the former police president of
Berlin, Won Jagow, after consultation
with representatives of various trades
and businesses and with the General
German Speech Association" he urg-
ed upon everyone, particularly upon
those who still use foreign words in
advertising their trade or business.
He cites la number of industries, no.
tably the textile, in which foreign
words are still customary though they
have perfect German equivalents that
are not at all far-fetched as are some
of the attempted translations along
other lines and in other connections.
In cases where there is doubt about a
good translation he urged recourse to
the Speech Association.

AUSTRIAN LABOR
UNIONS HARD HIT
BY GREAT WAR
The Organized Trades Lose
Nearly Three Quarters
Of Their Members.

Vienna, Nov. 1.-THE war has hit
the trades and organized labor Of Aus
tria a blow that is almost stunning.
The total membership has been re-
duced to 177,133 from 415,195, the
figure in 1918; thirty Of the-52 organ
izations that are banded together in
the so-called imperial commission"
have less than thousand members
half of the associations have been so
reduced that they were exceeded by
expenditures.
The reduction in the membership of
the unions not only applies to men,
some 200, 900 of whom have been call
ed to the colors, but to women as well,
of whom 40 per cent. Of the old num-
Der have left the organizations. Some
trades, such as roofers and paper box
makers, now have only 26 and is
members respectively left. The big
metal workers and textile trades have
now only $4,000 and $4,000 members
left
Of course. with the reduction in
membership there has been a corre-
spending decrease in the sums paid
out for s'War support" so that the va
rious trades in 1875, for example, had
10 expend but little over a hundred
thousand dollars in this way, as
against 100000 in 1914.
Similarly the incomes dropped, so
that the imperial commission in 1915
look in, through its 50 organizations,
but one million dollars in 1915 against
] $4,000 in 1914 and two millions in
1913. Even with Iessened member
ship however the trades still have as
much in their treasures to-day as they
mad in 1913.

AGE OF THE Earth.
Radioactive Evidence Now
Brought Forward.

Estimates of the age of the earth
based on radioactive and ordinary
geological phenomena differ greatly
from, each other, says the Scientific
American. In a recent discussion of
this subject, Arthur Holmes points
out that estimates Of the former cat
egory have all been based on the as
sumption that The radioactive "con
tants'' Of uranium and it's daughter
elements have not varied with time.
On this assumption it is calculated
that something like 1,500,000.000
years represent the time that has
elapsed since the crystalization of the
oldest plutonic rocks of the earth s
crust. Since there is geological evil
dence that these rocks are intrusive
into a pre-existing sedimentary or
volcanic series the actual age of the
earth would, be much greater than
this. On the other hand geological
estimates founded on sedimentation
and salt accumulation. point to de-
cidedly lower figures, say 100,000,000
to 400, 100000 years. Professor Jolly
has suggested that the discrepancy
between the radioactive and geolog-
cal estimates would disappear in
favor Of the former If it could be
shown that the rate Of decay of uran-
ium has decreased with the lapse Of
time Readers of the novels of H.
G.. Wells. who is rapidly attaining the
reputation Of a Mother Shipton on
the strength OF the things in his
stories which have later come to pass,
will recall that. in describing the
death dealing "atomic bomb" he in
troduced concept similar to this
that Of a disintegrating element
which in any period of a certain fix
ed length dissipates exactly half its
initial substance for that period.
Rapid decay would, however, have
been attended by a more rapid gen.
Grafton of heat Of radioactive origin,
and this would have prolonged or
even reversed the secular cooling of
the crust, again indicating an excess
sively great age for the earth. The
escape from the dilemma would ap-
pear to be to deny that the earth's
surface was formerly in molten con-
dition. The whole subject, is, of
course, largely speculative in the
present state of science. It will, how
ever, help greatly to elucidate the
problem Of the earth's age if it can
be determined whether the rate of
decay OF uranium is dependent upon
time, pressure and temperature.

five or CABINET
OFFICIALS WILL
RESIGN IT'S SAID
None to Be Forced Out
Baker, Daniels and Red
field to Quit Posts.

AS many as five changes are likely
to be made in President Wilson's
Cabinet within the next few months
if the rumors heard in Administra-
ton circles are correct. In no one
of those cases, however, will the pres
ent occupant be forced out. This
cannot be expressed too strongly. On
the whole, Mr.. Wilson is thoroughly
satisfied with the heads of his adj
ministrative departments. They have
been loyal to him, and according to
his friends, there is no man who ap-
preciates loyalty more than he does.
All the tenacious stubbornness Of his
nature has been stirred to back those
of his Cabinet who have been CRITICS
ed severely by newspapers and parti-
san stump speakers In fact, it is
said that the Presidents state Of
mind is such to-day that he would not
demand the resignation Of a single
department head, even if by SO doing
he were inclined to believe that some
betterment in the administration S
work might be achieved
But as it happens the forces MAX
ing for change are natural and un-
prejudiced Mr.. Wilson's Cabinet is
d y.
Not since the days of the fathers of
the republic, in all probability, has
there been a Cabinet so, uniformly
composed of men of small means,
whose only title to hold office has
been ability and zeal for work. There
is not a man in. it who can be called
wealthy. The majority of the mem
bers are said to be dependent upon
their salaries. Indeed, the only two
who are even comfortably we1l-off are
William G. Redfield, Secretary of
Commerce, and Albert S. Burleson,
Postmaster-Gen Mr.. Redfield is
in private life a successful manufac-
turer.
Stands by Baker.
To many Cabinet officers the strain
of supporting the necessary social
duties incumbent upon them in Wash
ington has become something of a
burden. Others again, have pressing
business reasons for retiring from Of
fee. For instance, Newton D. Baker,
Secretary Of War, stipulated when he
entered the Cabinet last spring that
he should be allowed to resign at the
end of a year. It is questionable,
however, whether the President will
accept his resignation should the Re-
publican press continue to attack Mr..
Baker on his campaign speech, In
which he was enormously reported to
have criticised the conduct Of the
Continental army Of the Revolution
This is one Of the typical cases, in
which all Mr.. Wilson's enthusiastic
friendship has been rallied to the
support of a man who, he feels, was
singled out for attack. in the hope
that the blow might fall in reality
upon himself. Mr.. Wilson is said to
have great admiration for Mr.. Baker,
who, it is felt at Washington, has
made splendid record Of the War
Department during the past few

The Secretary Of Labor is firmly
anchored to his position, because he
becomes an ideal connecting link
between the Administration and the
great forces Of organized labor. He
is not popular with his political OPP
ponents, but Mr.. Wilson thinks he
has made good, and that is the vital
factor in the situation. Mr.. Burleson
