weakness. This overindulgence in

An investigation made by Daily

After that the boys buy cigarettes and
the girls new hats. The little girls
spend a great deal Of money on imita

jewelry absorbs the spare earnings of

induce parents, children and employ

the employer may deduct from chill

cent of wages and to put these amounts
on war-saving cards, which can eventu-

OF WAR Is BROUGHT TO
THE NATIONS CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, D. Chin and
emaciated, with wild staring eyes, the
first German prisoner of war arrived
in Washington recently, insane.
Muttering continually and weeping
over the broken Hindenburg line,
Herman Berka was placed in st. Eliza
beth's hospital here, the first German
prisoner to be brought to the capital.
Berka was chief engineer on the
German ship Comoran, seized at the
outbreak of the war. He brooded over
the flow of events as they have turned
against the kaiser and became violent
when he learned the Hindenburg line
had been broken. He was removed
from the state hospital at Napa. Cal,
and brought to Washington under
guard of four men.
