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

He was very sickly looking. and the
Swiss merchant put his hand In his
coat pocket, took out block Of chOc-

guests in the restaurant got up and

to express their amaxement 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

hibits in Leipzig would give an order

all wrong.
Mental Confusion.
EAT FIRST I thought had merely to
do with a careless individual, but af-
forwards l found that nine out Of ten
persons were in just the same state Of
mental confusion. l then talked to
some of the other Swiss who were Wis
iting the fair and found that they had
had similar experiences. Once 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 1t 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
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
Germans known to these merchants
before the war as shrewd. energetic,
capable business men, now, they say,
tuIk like children, az II they knew
nothing whatever Of the outside world
or what has been taking place during
the last four or I'VE years.
In short, the German merchants
seem completely daxed, bewildercd
and confused at present and do not
know what they are doing.

surrounded the lad. gazing with
amazement Mt the chocolate. Some of
them asked the Swiss how he man
aged to get 1t.
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 its conditions
have caused a more or less abnormal
mental state in the case Of many per-
sons.

Two Newcomers Prove
Pleasing in ''Condoliers'
Irene Williams and May Naudin
Add Much to American
Singers Production

Irene Williams and May Naudin were
two newcomers in the cast of "The
Gondoliers," sung by the Society oil
American Singers at the Park Theatel
last evening. Miss Williams has s
pretty voice, girlish in its freshness
AS Gianetta she had many opportuni-
ties to show herself valuable addition
to the ranks Of American singers Miss
Naudin's work is more mature and he1
acting bore the stamp of experience
She, too, has an agreeable voice, which
she uses effectively.
While the charm Of each of the Gil
bert and Sullivan operas never pals
there is good natured rivalry between
composer and librettst. Occasionally
the book is the thing, at other times
the music; more often both are per-
fectly matched. The music of "The
Gondoliers," however. has rather less
swing than that of "The Yeoman" and
"Pinafore," while the book is delight
fully satirical at the expense of kings
foreign potentates and the aristocracy
in fact, the whole system of monarch
cal rule. M
