GERMANS STRIP
POLES in LAST
DAYS OF POWER
Two Billions of Dollars Re-
quired TO Repair Damage
Done by the Huns
BY Associated Press

Warsaw. Dec. 21.-Poland was
stripped of all materials and ma
chinery during the German occupa-
ton which ended on November IL.
On that day a few thousand soldiers
of the Polish Legion, aided by the
population of Warsaw, disarmed
more than 10000 German soldiers
who had planned a revolt against
their own officers.
All food and all telephone wires
were removed by the Germans. All
industrial plans were robbed and
dismantled, with the result that Po-
land will have hard job to start in
again.
Discussing the economic situation
in Poland, Stanislau Larlowski di-
rector of the Commercial Bank of
Warsaw, said to-day:
Damage Is Great
at will take nearly two billion
dollars TO repair the damage done
during the German occupation and
to put us on our feet properly and
to develop our great natural re-
sources Our oil products return
500,00O,000 marks annually and we
are rich in coal and salt mines, pot
ash, forests and agricultural prod
ucts.
"At the present time the economic
situation is confused because Rus
sian rubles, Austrian crowns and
German marks are in circulation.
The marks are an heritage of the
German occupation.
Must Have Sound Government
First, we must stablish a sound
government which will have the
confidence of the outside world.
When such a government is estab-
lished we will put out foreign loans
for the purpose of buying materials
and starting up factories 1t is even
necessary for us to secure loans in
order to buy clothes, also machinery
and locomotives. Everything in the
country must be rebuilt along new
lines.
"The Germans transported home
all the machinery from the indus
trial city of Kallcz and then set fire
to the city. This was one of their
although no battle was fought there.
They drove out the people by bomb
ing the city and then robbed 1t
methodicaily.
"The Germans also requisitioned |
all the factories and machinery in |
LodZ, which is the Polish Manches- |
ter. with its vast cotton and WOODEN |
mills. During their entire occupa-
ton they continued to loot Lodz. |
Even last September they carried |
away all the iron plates and floor /
tngs from the factories.

Foreign Competition to
Bring Down Price of Xmas
Turkeys in Harrisburg

Foreign competition is expected to
bring down the price of Christmas
turkeys in Harrisburg. it was pre-
dicted to-day. At least two carloads
of birds are on their way to the
city and this will have the effect of
cutting prices down to 35 cents and
less, live weight. Here and there
to-day on the local markets birds
might be had for that figure.
Sixty cents a pound was asked by
many farmers for dressed birds but
it was said that with prices turning
sharply downward for live birds
many dressed fowls would be left
on the hands of their owners if the
steep prices continued. This is what
happened at Thanksgiving time when
dealers persisted in trying to get
from sixty to seventy cents pound
for dressed birds.

tor. to devise a means to save the
Government the overpay and at the
same time to convince the men of
the error and to reduce the wages in
the future so. as to make up for
those overpaid without causing labor
disorders.
Two Millions mt Stake
The ruling under which the shop
men We're overpaid was Ruling No.
81. under the provisions of which
the shopmen in 1917 were given an
increase in wages over those paid in
1915. The increase in the case of the
men paid by the day ranged from
ten to thirty per cent. with consid-
Grafton taken of the wage advances
made between December, 1915, on
the basis of which the advances were
made, and 1917, when the ruling was
handed down. At the same time, an
increase was ordered for men on
piece work, equal to the increase
granted the per diem men.
1t is the latter ruling which has
been misinterpreted or misapplied
and has caused the trouble, mis-
takes having been made in the per-
centages which has caused the over
payment m wages of more than ST.

WILSON SAYS:

The Congress OF Vienna was a
congress of bosses"
Their own interests were above
the interests of the people.
Versailles must be a meeting
place of the servants of the
people.
There is no master mind that can
settle the problems of to-day.
If there is anybody who thinks
he knows what is in the minds
of all peoples, that man is a
fool.
1t is essential for the future peace
of the world that there should
be the frankest cooperation
and most generous understand
ing between the two English
speaking democracies.

will be able to reach q just and
reasonable solution of the
problems presented to them.
