MOST GERMANS
NOW Unbalanced
Swiss Back From Leipzig Fair
Report 80 Per Cent Men
tally Twisted.
Declare Everything Is in Disorder and
Streets Are Lined With Begging
Soldiers and Civliars-Be-
have Like Children.

Berne.-A number Of Swiss mer-
chants, who for years past have regu-
larry attended the famous Leipzig fair,
have now just returned, hardly able
to express their amaZement at what
they saw there. 1t was not that there
was nothing to interest them at the
fair, but that while they were in Ger
many they could hardly believe that
they were not in some other country,
they did not quite know which. The
merchants, manufacturers and others
at the fair, with whom they had to
deal, seemed to be mentally unbal-
anced.
NINETY per cent of the people with
whom | had to DEAL" said one mer-
chant, "really did not know what they
were about. In visiting the various eX-
hibits in Leipzig would give an order
for something. would tell the man in
charge that would take say 500 gross
of a certain article, No. 1O6. would
write the number down myself, and
then of course expected him to write
it down too. Then l would order some
thing else, and by the time l had fin
ished giving my orders would ask to
compare my notes with his. Then, to
my great establishment, l would find
he had either not written down the Or
ders at all, or had written them down
all wrong.
Mental Confusion.
"At first l thought I had merely to
do with a careless individual, but af-
forwards found that nine out of ten
persons were in just the same state Of
mental confusion. 1 then talked to
some of the other Swiss who were Wis
iting the fair and found that they had
had similar experiences. Once 1 lost
patience and spoke very sharply to
one man, whereupon he simply broke
down and said he was sorry but he
had been four years in the trenches
and that he was no longer capable of
doing his work as he did it before
the war"
Judging by all that these Swiss mer.
chants observed in Germany, this men
tai weakness and incapacity is affect
ing not only men who have been 9
| long time in the trenches, but also
civilians-women who were at home
and men who, for one reason or an
| other, were never at the front. Some

President Butler of Columbia
University Says Saving
Only Remedy

San Francisco. President Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia Univer-
sity, speaking here before the Com
mercial Club, said, furnishing prof.
teers is good thing, but it won't
reduce the cost of living. If we had
all their boarded goods it would do
little good.
Only the operation of memorable
economic laws can bring us back to
tolerable conditions. The remedy is
to save, to practice public economy
and private thrift. We must save
aud invest in productive industry.
Borrowing for non-protuctive rea-
sons mean bankruptcy.
In the opinion of the best econo-
mists in the United States the peoples
greatest weapon against high prices
is the Governments Thrift and War
Savings Stamps. Every family should
have a budget, just as every success
full business has a budget. The first
thing on that budget should be the
amount to be saved from the weekly
or monthly income not the amount
to be spent. Make what you save
govern the amount you spend, not the
amount you spend govern the amount
you save.
War Savings Stamps bring per
cent interest, compounded every three
months. Hit high prices below the
belt by investing in United States
securities. The dollar you save today
| will he worth tWica aS much five ya.rs
from now.

before the war as shrewd, energetic,
capable business men, now, they say,
talk like children, as if they knew
nothing whatever of the outside world
or what has been taking place during
the last four or five years.
In short the German merchants
seem completely dazed, bewildered
and confused at present and do not
know what they are doing.
What particularly struck all these
Swiss merchants who have known
Germany for many years past, was
the lack of orderliness everywhere,
not merely at the Leipzig fair but in
the streetS--a change for the worse
which is commented upon now by all
visitors to Germany. In the halls
of the great Fair, which before the
war used to be neat as the prOverbial
new pin, disorder and even dirt are
everywhere.
The streets leading to the Leipzig
fair were this year lined with wound
ed, crippled and blinded soldiers, sell
ing postcards. boOtlaces and all man.
ner of other tri1les, or playing barrel
organs with their military caps on
the ground before them for people to
throw in anything they could afford.
And this in country where mendi-
cants never used to be tolerated.
Act Like Children.
Every Swiss merchant who went to
the Leipzig fair this year was allow
ed by the government to take with
him twenty-five pounds of provisions.
One with whom ] talked took with
him five pounds of chocolate, know
ing what precious gift it would be
to some of his old acquaintance. In
visiting one of the leading manufac-
turers he presented three of his
daughters with half pound each. The
girls grasped him by the hand, with
| tears in their eyes. 1--WE haven't seen
anything like it for years." they said.
1T will make us WELL"
One evening this Swiss merchant
with two others, was sitting in one of
the best restaurants in Leipzig when
a lad walked around the tables offer
| ing postcards and matches for sale
He was very sickly looking, and the
Swiss merchant put his hand in his
coat pocket, took out block of choc.
olate (about half pound) and hand
ed it to him. Immediately all the
guests in the restaurant got up AND
surrounded the lad, gazing will
amazement at the chocolate. Some OF
them asked the Swiss how he man
aged to get it.
Even in the restaurant, he said, the
people who collected around the boy
with the chocolate behaved like chill
dren. All this points to what is now
being more and more clearly recog
nized-that the war and Cts conditions
have caused a more or less abnorma
mental state in the case Of many per
sons.

Upon this spirit OF service and sac

the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 1890
900 tons, we must chip twenty million
tons Of food to Europe in the coming

by train through the suburbs of Paris
and reached Meaux July I, unloaded
there land conveyed to L'IvigDy,
whence il moved up to Chainigny

first time 10 action.
"We were still there when the
Germans started their last offensive
on the el5th, and also when we
counter attacked on the lS", says the
letter The regiment then moved up
to Montreil, LIE Thiolet, Chateau

line advanced. Aug. l6 the l46th

sur Marne for rest The first night
here, three boche planes bombed LIE
Ferte, fair sized town nearby. A
few days later the regiment moved
by convoy to the Verdun front,
arriving there on the 28th. After a
few nights another move was made
to occupy large dugout in an old
quarry near Aucremont
The regiment, with its long range
French 1858 then participated in the
ST. Mihiel drive which started Sept
~ and lasted only few days. The
next move was up near Verdun where.
on the night of the 25th, the big
drive started, and the regiment gave
artillery support to the assaultlng
infantry during the entire battle of
the Argonne, and was still pounding
the Huns until they were across the
Meuse and the armistice was signed.
The regiment had stayed at Montfau-
con for few days and was to leave
for Dun-sur-M Meuse, the morning the
armistce put stop 10 hostilities.
A few days later the entire regiment
moved back to Blercourt where II
was in camp Nov. %. awaiting
further orders.
Darwin says he was picking up
wire in an old no mans land, when
the armistice was announced. There
upon all the men quit work and went
back TO camp.
