1 succession. The uncertainty of the economic situation led to almost a boy cotting of Berlin as the chief work | center of Germany, for industry had to be sure of quiet and order in its search for labor, and Berlin daily was the opposite.
 Despite the huge expense, one indus try after another left Berlin for quieter, steadier fields. Now the winter months are coming. already full of threats of uprisings and strikes.
 Merchants. politicians and industrial leaders have predicted that the transfer of the Assembly or Reichstag, would inflict a severe blow upon Berlin, es- pecially if it should lead to the choice of another capital.
 The label imperial capital" and it's enormous labor possibilities have been Berlins chief claims to superiority It has been the industrial heart of the empire Yet. say manufacturers, labor is now systematically laming industry and destroying it.

France Our Soldiers Knew

l D M. walker, Tn LeSlle S.
 l When we first arrived in France, the currency seemed more like soap wrappers /! or cigar coupons than real, honest to God jmoney. We blew it, burnt it, threw it away. The French, with whom economy l is almost a vice. stood around aghaSt for ! a while. then started gathering it up They reasoned that only millonaires would be so extravagant, and raised their prices accordingly. After a time the money became very real to us but by then the damage was done We had sowed the wind, and we stayed to reap tornado. The buck private casually paid the same prices as the colonel, just be- cause he was an American The money that one of us has dropped in France has founded the fortune of some future bour geois dynasty. Today Paris is crowded with the mnuveaux riches of the war I don't think any of us who have the
 uower of reasoning blame the French in dividually for exploiting us. We deserved itf in most cases. But what is a very real grievance is that we felt nothing was ever done by the powers that be to stop it. If you don't take the doughboys' word for it, ask your peace conference representative. He got stunfi, too. The French are not noted for being far sighted financially. They are accustomed to dealing in hundreds of francs, and not in thousands and they lost their heads. A bird in the hand is worth whole flocks in the bush, or any potential flocks which might be matched into being with a little care. The French read our psychology aricht in the first place, but they didn't play the game far enough. If they had. there is a great possibility that they would be richer by billions instead of millions, in the shape of cancelled war debt.
 The French will tell you themselves that they are not hospitable. Nor are they, after our fashion; not because they arc not inclined to be hospitable. but be- cause hospitality has not been one of
 their established precedents. Getting into
 d French home of the better class is
 something like joining a secret lodge
 back home There must be Endorsement
 and recommendations and credentials be-
 fore one is proposed for membership.
 Then there is the riding of the goat, to
 which the process of the formal intro
 ductiors may be compared After that
 he is pretty much joke. but an American
 can never quite feel at home because he
 is constantly stumbling over unaccus-
 toned and unexpected formalities which
 must be observed. A breach of manners
 to the French is as serious as a breach
 of morals is to US. We are continually
 shocking them, just as they are con-
 stantly shocking us. Believe you me
 the propagandist was some ways off
 when he sprung that at-one-ness with
 he French upon our unsuspecting pub-
 lie!

BERLIN TO BECOME
 SECOND RATE CITY
Citizens Fear That Capital Will Be Removed to Some Rhine
 land City
By Associated Prss

Berlin, September 2s.--Under the caption of The Murder of Berlin" the Boersen Zeitung. one of the ablest Gep- man newspapers, says the fate of the city is in the balance and that it is perhaps, too late to save it from be- coming city of the second class in every respect, with the removal of the capital and the activity in a business and political sense to some Rhineland city. It is a theory that has been gain ing ground lately and causing Berlin to lose sleep.
 "One day" the financial paper adds, there will be a fearful awakening if the problem that eonfronts us is not recognized and solved at the twelfth hour. The problem is to save Berlin from destruction"
 The paper then cites the January riots by the Spartacists. from the wounds of which Berlin has never re- covered. Then came the March dis orders, followed by the July transpor- tation strike which threw Berlin into chaotic state. The strikes then en- sue one after another in an endless

There is only one thing that will do this. and that is sulfo solution This can be obtained from any drug store for one dollar.

There is every reason why those
