entitled to daily bounty Of three
marks fifty pfennigs. from the city
Unemployed laborers have been offer
ed work by the city at four marks
per day, but only few have accepted,
as the ordinary wage is six marks Il

discharged soldiers to their pre-war
occupations. replacing. if necessary.

Deports from the country indicate
there Is plenty of work there. but

ing laborers to leave the cities. par

this city, Americans have found eighty
thousand pounds Of shoe leather and
machinery for repairing shoes. A
plan is under consideration to use this
