for it creates an attachment to the
SOIL" he said. Commerce and indus
try naturally spell materialistic
trend, but if there is one lesson dis
tinctly taught by human history it is
that civilization entirely wrapped up
in materialistic effort is bound to de-
generate and decay.
1.-THE National Farm School is rem
dering a direct service to civilization
in providing counterbalance to mater
ialism which has always been the
means involved in what is known as
progressive civilization. To find a
proper proportion between commerce
and industry on the one hand, and ag-
riculture on the other is the fundamen-
tai problem involved in the work of
reconstruction upon which the entire
world is engaged at this time, with
the view of producing more stable con-
ditions"
American opportunity is exemplified
in the life of Bernard Ostrolenk, d.
rector of the farm school. Twelve year
ago he arrived as an immigrant boy,
was a student at the National Farm
School, graduated, and now is direct
ing official at the school. His address
was based on present living conditions,
conditions which have been a factor
in the present high cost records, his
emphasis of the real lack of supply of
food sufficient for the entire world,
the certainty that still many years
must elapse before many European
countries reach a productive stage
that aggregates a worthwhile total,
of the need of the immense amounts
of capital to rehabilitate the farm
machinery and farm structures in the
war-devastated areas, the urging of
additional support to the farm school,
to permit the amplification of the
work founded by DR.. Krauskopf years
ago.
Account of Crops.
DR.. Krauskopf delivered his annual
address, commenting on the splendid
harvests Of the season just ended, and
presenting these statistics of produc-
tiveness of the Farm School, as it was
titled by its one hundred boy students

of oats, 800 bushels of rye, $40 bushels

He emphasized the need of contin.
ued and even greater financial support
for the school, telling how it had been
necessary to go into the endowment
fund to the extent Of $4,000, even
with $4,000 state appropriation, and
an $4,000 appropriation from the
Jewish Charities. He told of the abso-
lutte need of enlargement of certain
buildings and the erection of others to

Early in the participation of the United States in the world war, the American Red Cross perceived the value of mobilizing the school children of the country and the Junior Red Cross was organized. Before the war ended nine million children were en- rolled and helped in the war fund and membership campaigns, in chap ter production of relief supplies and manufacturing furniture for the ref ugees whose homes and household goods were destroyed.
 Children everywhere in the United States responded to the call to serv- ice sounded by President Wilson as head of the American Red Gross. This photograph is that of an en- thusiatic young Japanese member of the Junior Red Cross of Spokane, Wash, starting out on the ambitious undertaking of collecting a mile of pennies" for war relief. A compre- hensfve peace program is now being worked out for the Junior Red Cross which is being held intact.

BIC CRIME WAVE
 IS SWEEPING
 OVER GERMANY Criminals Impersonate Pc licemen and Soldiers In
 Fleecing Victims. RAILROAD ROBBERIES CLEVERLY WORKED Authorities In Airp1ane Pursued and Captured
 Smugglers.

Berlin, Sept 2O-(Correspondenc of The Associated Press) Germany has increasingly taken to crime since the revolution, and the once orderly empire, where pickpockets were all most unknown and holdups and rob berries created a sensation, is under going an epidemic of crime. Proba- bly, no system has proved more eff fective than, in these days of un- certainty and change, playing the of ficiaI or impersonating a soldier, or a policeman.
 Recently two clever criminals who discovered that a certain man had concealed in his house 115 thousand mark notes of the old type and liable to confiscation had frightened him into surrendering the money on the promise of escaping prosecution. A real official, who had nosed out the plot, entered just in time to see the transfer of the money and really did confscate it, besides arresttng the three men.
 More successful was another false official scheme Here a group sue ceeded in inducing 6, man who had hoarded 50 thousand mark bills to
 
 deal was in progress when fellow conspirators. posing as officials. ap- | peared, confiscated the money and 1 robbed the owner.
 l An airplane was used to capture l criminals when the authorities got | wind recently of an attempt to carry l 10000, 900 marks on an express train l to Munich whence they were to be smuggled across the Swiss border. 1 Ropberies at railroad stations from | freight cars have been increasing to | a, great extent. Countless cases of false papers for the delivery of goods | have been discovered. usually after it was too late.
 The discovery of two freight car loads of bacon lying on siding at a suburban station led to the discovery of a huge swindIe originating in Hol- 1 land, conducted from the Rhineland and making use of false bills of lad | ing. Many railroad men were in | volved in a2smau way for their share in handling the faked bills of lading The constant sHfndIing extends tc l every imaginable Kind of food and raw material. A young man appear ed recently at storehouse in centra, Berlin and asked to have some cases stored. When the warehouse watch.
 man saw the cases he was suspicion. l because they came from the imperia textile plant at Zwickau. So he re. , ported the presence of the cases, in vestigation showed 5000 yards o1 textiles worth 12O, 900 marks and tn, young man was captured by a ruse He had procured the cloth on a forg ed order bearing the signature of tn, textile authorities.

The Commune in Control of Vienna

The Commune in Control of Vferaa.
Control of Vienna has been taken
over by the soldiers council. Quiet
prevails, but communizing of the prop
erty Of those unable to resist has be-
gun. 1t is possible there will be no
change in the name Of the government
but it will be Bilshevistice in purpose.
The situation is much the same as 1t
was in Budapest few hours after the
radicals had taken control. The po-
licing Of the city has been taken over
by the vokswehr. The parliament
building was occupied by two battal-
ions of soldiers after representatives
Of the soldiers council had placed
S, 900 men at the governments dispos-
al upon the understanding that the
police would be dispersed.
The soldiers are commanded by Col
Stoessel WINNER, who takes orders
from the soldiers council, which is
either Socialistic or communistic.
Colonel Cunningham, in the name
of the Allies, has issued a proclama-
ton declaring that if there is further
disturbances the food supply will be
cut off. For that reason serious trou-
BILE is unlikely. While it is possible
there will be no change in the name OF
the government. it will be none the
less Bolshevistic in purpose.
Men familiar with the situation still
contend it would be easy to handle the
situation through limited occupation
by Allied troops and also through the
guarding Of the frontiers of POLAND
and Ukraine They assert that with
the help of General Petlura's forces
the hordes from Moscow could be kept
out.

unintentionaI Profitesring.-While q
great many stories are told, with or
without foundation, Of unreasonapis
profits accruing to contractors VINO
supplied goods of various kinds to the
war department, 1t is doubtful II such
benevolent mistakes as the following
which Tit-Bits reports from Englani.
have been made in connection with
our own national army.
A wheelwrisht in Essex. having ex-
ecuted a small job for some troops
encamped near his workshop. sent 10
the authorities his account wnich
amounted to the modest sum OF nine
shillings and fivepence. To his amaze
ment he received in payment a check
for ninety-five pounds.
Being the possessor Of conscience
the wheelwright wrote pointing out
that his account was for nine shhlings
and fiyepence only, and asking what he
should do with the check sent to him.
In reply he received another check
for ninety-five pounds. Not knowing
what to do, he consulted a solicitor,
who advised him to bank the money
and let authorities apply for its return.
When that story was told to the
manager Of a Surrey dairy he related
"a similar experience. Last summer the
military authorities commandeered the
entire stock of hay on a farm, and paid
money down for it. They required only
a portion of the stock to be delivered
at once, however, and gave instruc-
tions for the remainder to be retained
until further orders.
AS the farmer heard nothing more,
he wrote to the military authorities,
and an officer came down, inspected
the hay, and explained where 1t was to
be sent. Some time afterwards the
farmer received check for one hun
dred and seventy pounds. He sent the
check back, with the reminder that
the hay had been paid for once; but
It was returned to him. and 1t has
since been paid into the bank.
