FORTUNE LOST IN STRIKES
Labor Disorders in Ruhr Coal District
of Germany Prove Financial
Disaster.

Berlin.-The strike recently conclud-
ed in the Ruhr coal district has cost
the miners 100000 in wages. The
output deficit for April is 100000
tons, representing more than $4,000,
10000. The loss to physical property
is believed to be so great as to pre-
clude profitable operation for a long
tine to come.
The miners In the Ruhr coal fields
are more than S25 100000 out on their
wages account as the strikes have been
going on internationally since the begin
ming of the revolution. In the Ham
born district miners struck GO days out
of 140 working days between November
9 and April %.
The loss to the nation as a result of
the coal strikes cannot be computed. 1t
caused a general paralysis of railway
traffic, the shutting down of industrial
plants and a loss of revenue and
freight to the state railways. The ma
tional strike fever is believed to have
caused depreciation in the national
currency of more than $4,000, 900 900,
and to have aided to repress the value
Of the German mark abroad.

WAR AS AN EDUCATOR

Whatever may have been the evil effects of the war, it can not be de- nie6 that it has been the greatest edu- cative influence of modern times. People of all countries have become better acquainted with the citizens Of others, and have a larger understand ing of the national aspirations of neighbOring states. In our own cOun- try attention has been directed as never before to world problems. By constant reading of the war news the average citizen of the United States is quite familiar with the geography of Europe and Asia, the struggles for independence of their races, and the present economic condition of the states involved in the war, and is possessed of a general comprehension of foreign questions about which he years ago.
 The same effect is noticeable with respect to similar matters in our own country. The composition of the gov ernment at Washington, the power which federal authority holds over the people, the relation to each other of the legislative, executive and judicial branches, the power of the President under the constitution, the question of of mi methods of raising revenue and ap- prOpriating it for the expenses of the government, the conduct of our foreign affairs-all these subjects and many others are matters of daily comment in the press and have been so inti- mateIy connected with the Waging of the war that the reading of war news has carried with it a general study of our government in it's varied aspects.
 Particularly has this influence of education been felt in the training camps for our soldiers here and abroad Men have been taken from all levels of society by the draft and blended together on terms of practi- cal equality in the army. Men of high social standing and education have come to know of the hundreds of thousands of poor people from the sparsely-settled regions of the coun- try where practically all opportuni- ties for self-improvement have been denied. On the other hand, the boys from those sections have received a liberal education in economics, history and government that they never would have acquired had it not been for the war. To the men who have been sent overseas the opportunities, of course, have been still greater. Some will come back" says General Cartere, ''maimed and sorely wounded, but the greater body of them will come home improved mentally, mOr- ally and physically by their service "

loss of revenue to the government. This regulation made it possible for the mail order houses, by sending their catalogues to postal centers by freight and then distributing them by mail, to reduce their postage bill from 8 cents a pound to less than 2 cents per pound. This profit of one concern in this manner amounted to $1,500,000 in one year, which, it is claimed, was distributed to stockholders as interest on $20,000,000 worth of new stock cre- ated to take care of this additional profit.
 Chairman Steenerson of the house committee on postoffices and post roads is firm in his contention that the postmaster general did some des- perate figuring to bring about an al- legged profit of $44OOO.OOO in the opera tion of the postoffce department. He believes that MT. Burleson made a marked underestimate of the addi- tional revenue accruing to the war fund through Scent postage, thus showing a larger general surplus, and it is probable that some very interest ing facts will be produced in this con- nection when the time comes to con- sider increased pay for the postal en- ployes.
