Sees Added Wealth.

AT the same time, says Herr Utsch,
the interests of the country will be
served, since every fresh small colony
increases the national wealth and
makes it more independent of foreign
countries in the production of food. He
sees a further advantage in attracting
labor to rural districts.
The writer divides the nature of the
employment of the settlers as follows :
Settlements for men employed Iii in
dustries or factories
Holdings for agricultural laborers.
Holdings Tor independent artisans.
Small holdings with land attached
up 10 60 acres ~ more.
Considering the first class named

As for the independent artisans in

Funds From War Profits.
As to the capital that will be neces-
sary to establish such communal set
Elements, the writer suggests that
about 10 per cent of all war profits
which after the payment of taxes ex-
coed 10000 marks ought to be lent on
mortgages on the settlements at the
rate of to 3A per cent.
Another article dealing with condi-
lions in Germany after the war, but ON
entirely different lines from the pen of
c. II. Sizzling, considers the extent In
which revolutionary ideas permeate the
German army and what may be the
outcome. The writer says:
THE fuel of revolt is being heaped
up to await the torch that will set Il
aiiame. Competent observers foretel
that revolution will inevitably follow
the conclusion of the war. The
drugged and brutalized proletariat is
waking from its trance. With organl-
cation and leadership the torpid Ger
man people will at last turn against
the false gods it has been worshlpping
and dash them to the ground"
