FA|NTFROM LACK OF FOOD
FORMER GERMAN OFFICERS
SUFFER GREATLY
Pensions of Wounded Far Too
Small For Keeping Them
From Want

Berlin, October 21.--[Correspond-
ence Of The Associated Pressl-
Many of the $4,000 former German
officers discharged since the signing
of the aImistice have joined the
great army of unemployed in Ger
many, few have gone to work at
hard labor and others are trying to
mae small pensions pay for the ex
pensive necessaries of mere exist
ence.
Officers belonging to old, aristo-
cratic, once wealthy families are in
no better situation than their COM
rades who relied for a living upon
their army pay. They have long since
disposed of most Of their personal
property and it is not uncommon to
see one of them, suppressing his
pride, and Offering to some foreigner
a family heirloom for enough money
TO pay grocery bill.
Those who are doing hard labor
must work half a day for the price OF
a pound of meat and all day for a
pound Of butter. A number Of them
have been unable to buy civilian
clothes and are working in uniforms
thin and frayed by much wear.
The wives and sisters OF some of
these men, have gone into the shops
where they earn $50 marks a month,
a sum which guest at any one of
the international hotels frequently
pays for a single meal The widow
of a colonel who was killed at the
front is supporting four children on n
pension of less than seven hundred
marks a month.
Begging For LivIihood.
Former soldiers, and particularly
the wounded, whose pensions nd in
adequate to supply them with food,
have been hardhit. Day and night
they may be seen standing on the
streets with cap in hand. begging. or
selling matches They still wear their
uniforms, or part of uniforms. and
some of them to incite pity, exhibit
their wounds.
A party OF Americans walking down
Inter den Linden one night saw a
former soldier stagger and fall to the
pavement, unconscious. CITY Dhysic-
ians who examined him said he, had
tainted from hunger. Later it was
learned that, too proud to ask aims,
he had gone for days without food
When purse of a few marks was
collected for him he accepted it and
thanked the donors.

DEATH OF MISS WISE
WeIl-knoWn Lady Died Yester-
day Afternoon, After Several :
Months illness

The many friends of Miss Flory E.
Wise will be panied to learn of her
death which occurred at her home,
919 South Front street, yesterday aft
ernoon at $40 o'clock, following an
Illness of several months. Death re-
suited from complications which set
in following an operation at Roches-
ter during this last summer. Until
two weeks ago great hope was enter
tanned for her recovery, but at that
time her condition became suddenly
worse, and she failed rapidly.
Deceased was born in this city on
November %, 1872, and she has al
ways resided at the family home on
South Front street, except for several
educated in the Mankato high and
normal schools, and at various times
took training at the Chicago univer-
sity. She was a successful school
teacher in Duluth, West Mankato, and
for the past fifteen years has been as
sistant instructor in the primary de-
partment at the normal. Had she
taught this year it would have been
her twentieth.
Miss Wise occupied high place in
the estimation of Mankato people
She was a member of an old and re-
spected family. Her father, the late
John C.. Wise, ST., was one of the ear
ly residents of Mankato and for many
years editor and publisher Of The
Mankato Review. She leaves a host
of friends who will mourn her loss
Her work will be missed at the nor
NAL where she has taken such an &C.
tive interest for so many years.

day afternoon at two o'clock, at the
family residence. Rev. C. E. Brandt
pastor of the st. Johns Episcopal
church will officiate, and the family
requests that no flowers be sent.

WOULD HAVE LIFE TERM
Measure Designed To Give Adequate
Punishment To Holdups.

Punishment To Holdups.
Life Imprisonment for highway
robbery or attempted holdups with
the use Of weapon will be proposed
in a bill to be introduced in the Min
nesota legislature this winter by Rep
resentative Frank E. Nimocks Of Min
neapolis. The prevalence Of holdup
work indicates the need of such law.
Mr.. Nimocks said today, and he be-
lieves it would check the epidemic in
this state at least
''Tho bill am having prepared will
be a companion bill to the one re-
storing the death penalty" said Mr.
,Nimocks. Il proposed life sentences
for highway robbery once before. The
objection was made that ii would
make the criminal more reckless
about shooting. since he would have
no worse penalty for murder than for
attempt to rob.
"Electrocution for murderers will
take care Of that. The capital pun
ishment bill will put it up to the jury
to say whether the death penalty
should be imposed, or life imprison-
ment. Every man who attempts rob-
berry at the point Of pistol is muir.
derer at heart, and should be locked
up for the rest OF his natural life.
think two laws Of that kind will cause
these outlaws to give Minnesota a
wide berth"
