MILLION PERSONS
IDLE IN GERMANY
Strike Threats Hang Over
Virtually Every Business
in Berlin.

BERLIN, December 10.-Gradually
increasing prices for food in Berlin
have caused corresponding increase
in the demands of workmen for high
er wages and strikes, or the threat
of strikes, hang over virtually every
business in the city.
Approximately 100000 persons are
reported unemployed in Germany, the
majority of them in reduced circum- :
stances, some facing starvation. Four
months ago 2S4.1S1 women were
seeking employment. according to the
labor minister's estimate, and 1t was
announced 100000 persons shortly
would be out of work or on short
time. the latter being unable to earn
enough to support themselves
Nearly every municipality in Ger
many Is occupied with the problem
or providing work for unemployed
and adjusting wage difficulties, in an
effort to forestau the spread of
strikes and further discomfort.
Plenty Of Meat.
The meat shops of Berlin are well
stocked with choice cuts and have
large supplies of imported cheese,
OILS, pickles and other viands. but, as
winter advances prices continue to
go up and sales fall off. With MOTH
ing saved from summer wages, work
penditures for fuel for heat and warm
clothes in addition to food. and the
fact that the pay of many falls
short of meeting these expenses has
caused spread of unrest.
Sporadic strikes already have oc-
CURED, not only in Berlin, but also in
the provinces and. while there has
been no evidence that general
strike is probable. the situation is
causing state and municipal govern
ments much concern,
prices are higher than they We're o =

imported, because a vigilant watch
is kept on smuggling and import du-
ties, now being paid, are necessarily

able to buy imported stuffs.
Get Meat Once Week.
Meat at 26 marks a pound, sausaees
at 80 to 36, and cheese 38 are still

Lawrence WELLER. secretary of the

nights session of the national hous-
ing conference here. The speaker
gave synopsis of his study of the
housing situation in England, where
the government is proposing to build

he said. of more than $100, 100000 dead

cost due to post war conditions is to
be written of.
while the scheme is recognized by
all to be basically unsound," Mr..
WELLER said, ENGLAND treats it as
a moral obligation to her men who
fought in the world war"
George b. Ford, who spent three
years in France, studying the housing
conditions Of that country. said that
a scheme somewhat similar to Eng
lands would be adopted there, where
by the government would give out
right half the cost Of the homes to be
built.

Minister Says Former Empress
Seemed to Have Recovered.

BERLIN. December 9.-The Rev. DR..
Won Dryander. the private minister to
the former German empress, arrived
here today from Doom, and, in an in
terview with the Lokal Anzeiger, said
Augusta Victoria seemed to have re-
covered and that she might be ex-
pected to be able to share in the
Christmas ceremonies in the home in
Holland of the former German en-
peror.
DR.. Dryander said the former en-
press always was conscious during her
illness and usually sat in an arm
chair. Former Emperor William per-
sonally nursed his wife and his affec-
ton was touching.
The pastor denounced reports of the
one-time emperor having suffered a
nervous collapse. On the contrary, he
said, his mental activity was extra
ordinary. He reads incessantly sci
entific literature. the newspapers and
