GERMAN INDUSTRIES
HUMMING ALREADY
Leader Says There Are Orders
on Hand to Keep All
Busy Two Years.

BERLIN, Nov 20.--Most Of the large
Industrial plants in and about Ber-
lin already are working. No unem-
ployment Is reported as result of the
cessation of war industries work. Sigis-
mund Bergman, who is said to have
once been connected with Thomas \.
Edison and to have been one of-he
founders of the General Electric Com
pany in the United States, but who is
now one of the leading industriaists in
jermany. said to-day:
"On the second day OF the revolution
we started in to work on peace orders,
of which we have enough booked to
keep our 10000 employees busy for two
years.
This holds good for virtually every
plant of any Importance In Germany.
The country has been literally worn
threadbare in all lines. Just as we have
been turning our garments inside out we
have helped ourselves along with a
multitude of substitute devices in other
directions.
T 1--WE are badly in need OF rolling
stock. agricultural implements, turbines
and a thousand other things in the line
Of heavy steel construction. Our houses
need new roofs and paint We must
start In making everything fresh, from
the clothespin to the automobile. We
also are a ready market for finished
products"
Bergman was not apprehensive of
disturbances II the food situation holds
out.
III the 5000. 900 or more men now re-
turning from the front get three square
meals a day and steady work" said he.
there viii be no Bolshevism in Ger
many. The German workingmau will
not think OF mischief so long as he has
a comfortable fireside and something TO
keep him busy,
The fighting men. too. are well dis
ciplined. have implicit faith IN their
ability and willingness 10 adjust them
selves to normal life after four yeas Of
war. All that is needed is TO keep them
healthy and well clothed.
we are in urgent need Of copper,

pail is the first consideration. Ger.

possible that-the Government Is trying

THE Western Union Company and

about $4,000 a month, He declines to
accept such a system or valuation and
insists that the Postal has paid no divi-
