GERMAN FINANCIAL
CONDITION SERIOUS.

Amsterdam, Friday, Oct. 25-Pub-
lie anxiety over the solvency of tho
empire apparently is becoming acute
in Germany. The boarding of money
has become so rampant as to cause
great Inconvenience. There has
been a general run on the banks to
close accounts, and the theft of hid
den funds is of daily occurance.
With its staff depleted by the war
and grip the German treasury is
turning out new currency at top
speed, but, according to the Lokal
Anzeiger of Berlin, 1t melts like snow
when the sun shines, and the custom
airy back-flow into the state Golfers
has ceased completely. The Reichs-
bank in the third quarter of the year
issued the unprecedented amount OF
four billion marks in new money. or
nearly twice the amount issued in the
same period last year. In the first
three weeks in October alone the
bank issued one and one-quar.er
billions of marks in new money.
The government has been COM
PEELED TO make war loan coupons le-
gal tender. 1t also proposes to issue
a simpler form of paper currency.
and the municipal governments in
Berlin and other centers have been
authorized to issue temporary token
money. Fears are growing that if
the official appeals to refrain from
boarding are not needed the whole
economic structure of Germany may
collapse.

HANDLING HENS.

To all Farmers
Due to your compliance. by our
government to produce all.the poultry
possible, wherever IL is practicable,
we find a very large crop of chickens
in the Central West, South, North and
Northeast, with shortage of labor,
shortage of cars for transportation,
shortage of freezing space that is
being used for freezing meats to be
shipped to our soldiers, and Allies
abroad, and in order to market this
poultry in a way to prevent waste
of some of the product. and in order
to help out i'm the transportation
situation to carry out the following
suggestions:
LIST Market only the well-matured
birds, leaving the others on the farm
to grow and increase the amount of
poultry flesh.
End From now until December list
the largest percentage of old hens
are moulting, are unattractive in APP
pearance, weigh less and you should
market only those birds that are full
feathered. holding the balance until
after December LIST.
3rd. When ever practicable hold as
many birds as possible on the farm
until after January LIST in order to re-
lieve the freezer situation.
4th. Keep all pullets for egg pro-
duction this winter and next spring.
5th. East of the Mississippi River
market turkeys that are intended for
Thanksgiving from November 10th
to November 18th. and west of the
Mississippi from November Sth to
November 18th, holding the balance
of turkeys until December 9TH, as
usually large percentage of turkeys
reaching the market too late for
thanksgiving must be placed in cold
storage room for which this is un-
available for reasons above stated.

mention of the fact that his company
alone, single-handed, against over
whelming odds, had started the Hun
on his return trip to Berlin.
Jaw dry up!" groaned out an
exasperated realist, with a grimace Of
pain. you four-hushers make me-
sick, blowing about like that"
well anyhow" retorted the youth
who had boosted of his company, I've
whaled 'em in that pocket"
The realist lifted himself with la
Dor, for a contemptuous look at the
optimist.
Whats the matter with your eyer"
he demanded.
Left it on the battlefield to look
after things" said the other with
utter sangfroid. What's a little
private eye or two in war of this
size?"
well, you're no tinhorn SPORT"
admitted the realist grimly. And he
laid himself down again.

A DOLLAR AN HOUR.
Shall Industrial Army Have II When
Fighters get 81 a day?
(Letter to New York SUM

(Letter to New York SUM-
In time of war we should have two
armies, the fighting army and the in
dustrial army. Each should wear
uniform and be under abosute gov
ernmental control. The wages, the
should be determined by the Govern
ment.
Every man in the United States
owes his life to his country. The
manner in which his life is used,
whether in the front line in France or
in the essential industry here, is none
of his concern. Those in supreme au-
thority alone are best able to deter
mine how that life should be used to
the best advantage.
In the fighting army a man gets
his maintenance and $31 a month.
AS to hours of labor, friend of mine
in the old sixty-ninth has just written
home that he has been fighting two
weeks, almost without rest. Why
should the fighting army have less
pay, more hours of labor and less pri-
vileges than the industrial army in
essential industries?
A soldier overstays his leave and
becomes technically a deserter. If
caught and convicted he gets twenty
years in military prison. Why
should a warker in an essential in
dustry be treated differently?
How will you explain to the fight
ing army when it returns the special
privilege of the industrial army?
| / know an enlisted man who work
ed eight hours a day and made $15,-
600 a year in his business. He now
gets about $50 a month and is liable
to work "a hours a day. What
would happen to him if he struck,
either for shorter hours or more pay?
If this strike happened at the front he
would be introduced to a firing party.
Why should a worker in an essen
tial industry q shipyard or a NUM-
tion factory be treated differently?
A friend of mine who is-personnel
officer in a camp where many of the
men are expert mechanics tells me
that when he signs the payroll he
notices that many of the men only get
$S.65 month. The balance goes
for insurance, liberty bonds and to
dependents.
What will these men think of ship
yard men, 5S per cent of whom are Of
foreign birth. demanding>a dollar an
hour and double pay for overtime?
If men in essential industries are
! to be exempted from the draft let
them at least be enlisted in an in
dustrial army. Put a uniform on
them, have a government board fix
