MUCH MONEY AMONG
ENGLISH WORK PEOPLE

London, Feb. 21 TN my forty
years experience, l have never
known a time when there was so
much money among the working
classes" is the testimony of a pawn
broker doing business in a district
of London where a large amount of
army materials are manufactured
His testimony is supported by the
jewelers., merchants, and variety and
moving picture theaters in the
neighhorhood. They all say the
workers were never so prosperous,
or spent their money so freely-ex-
cept that they don't cali on pawn
brokers as they used to.
In this district there are 5000
women and girls employed in muni-
tion work, and they are the free
spenders. Most of them are the
wives of soldiers and receive separa-
tion allowances from the govern
ment, which increases their incomes.

The advertisement caused a verit-

first DAY the butcher was able to
turn in almost a thousand marks in
gold. People came not only from
Fuerstenwald but from neighboring

OLD MEN THE BEST SOLDIERS

Vienna, Feb. 21.-The calling to
the co!ors of men between the ages
of fifty and tifty-five, has caused the
discussion in the Austro- Hungarian
press of what the older men have
done in this war.
The view had been generally held
that the man at SO had passed into
old age, so far as military value was
concerned, but the war is said to
have proven that this position is un-
tenable.
1t is admitted that in trades and
occupations requiring physical dex.
terity, the man over fifty is apt to
be \ failure, though the well-pre-
served worker of that age is general
ly still capable of great endurance.
The experience in the army is that
men up to- thirty are generally less
hardy than men up to fifty. In ad-
dition to being as yet far from
physically set" that is entirely be-
yond the growing stage, the younger
men often reduce their endurance
and physical vigor, generally by in
correct eating. Older men are not in
the habit of doing this, it is as
serted.
But the young men sin also in
other respects. Often they are in
different to hardship when they
should not be; while the older men
see to it that their feet are always
dry and warm, the younger soldiers
overlook this habitually.
With the officers, the older SOL
der is the favorite. Not only does
he give less trouble to the sanitary
department, but his ripper mind un-
derstands more readily the purposes
and necessity of military discipline.
An Austrian colonel with whom
this subject was discussed said that
older troops needed little application
Of discipline, because their natural
conduct as grown men was discip-
line in itself. He had seen no differ
ence in the fighting qualities Of
young and older troops. he said, but
he himself would always prefer to
lead men over the age of thirty-five.
OF very young troops, the colonel
had poor opinion. In trench war
fare their value was not high. Con-
stant reiteration of commands and
orders was the lot of the officer who
commanded young bloods," while
the officer in charge of older troops
could count on having orders carried
out as soon as they were given. The
old men. too. fought with mre
sense" said the colonel. They did
not shout SO much, but dealt out
heavier blows.
Excepting bone fractures and very
serious internal wounds, the old SOL
dier gives no more trouble than the
young one to the medical service.
Authorities are of the opinion that
the smaller percentage of sick among
the older troops counterbalances
wholly what little surgical difficulty
they give.
1t is declared by the writer that
even after the war, the man over
fifty in Europe will occupy a more
important position in the industrial
and commercial fields than he has
done in two decades
