LOOK OUT FOR GERMANY

1t is reported that the German govern
ment is preparing to establish minimum
working day of ten hours, with no max
imum. If the report is true-and it
sounds typically German-that country
may recover from the devasting effects
of the war more rapidly than any of the
allied nations. Almost everywhere else in
the world labor is striving to shorten the
working day. In England labor wants,
and is getting, six hour day. In France
the tendency is in the same direction as it
is in this country.
1t is not hard to imagine what would
happen if the German worker should de-
vote a quarter or third more time to
production than the workers of other in
dustrial countries. Great industrial ex-
pansion would surely follow, and with the
world short of goods Germany might cas-
lily make such giant strides as to win SUI
premacy in foreign trade in relatively
short time.-Financial Section New York

WHERE THE MONEY WENT

An exchange calls attention to the man
ner in which the United States Railroad
administration has been running things
in the following manner:
Here is case which shows how some
OF the deficit of the railroad administra-
ton has been caused On the Wabash
road water tank was operated by cleo
tricity which was tended by a nearby
farmer. He turned on the switch in the
morning, went about his business, came
back at six o'clock in the evening and
turned it off. For this service for few
minutes each day he received about 500
q month. When the railroad administra-
ton took hold the wise men who classified
employees rated this farmer as an electri.
clan. They figured his time for the en-
tire day and allowed him about $500 a
month without requiring any additional
work from him. Furthermore he was Civ

and $3O00-South Bend Tribune.

DRYS OPPOSE MEASURE
Many House Members Dislike En-

Ardent Prohibitlonists Say They VIII
Not Support Measure in its
Present Form.

Washington, July 14.--During Ave
hours debate in the house on the pro-
hibition bill, the liquor traffic was
likened to a convicted criminal ap
pealing for a reprieve, while some OF
the more drastic provisions OF the
measure were denounced as an inva'
sion of the liberty, hospitality and
habits of the home.
1t probably Mas the last day of pro.
hibition oratory in the house Not
all OF the IL hours set aside for gen
eral debate had been used at the
close of an all-day session, which
ranged from technical argument on
constitutional questions, to a straight
stump speech for prohibition and its
enforcement.
Chairman Volstead of the Judiciary
committee, In charge of the bill, and
Representative lgoe, Democrat of Mis-
souri,, leader of the minority were un
able to allot all of the time desired by
members anxious to be heard.
Again ardent prohibitionists de
clared they could not support the en-
forcement bill because of its provi
sions. and others contended that once
congress defines Intoxicating liquors
