On the fatcful November 2, 1918, the

"We must ask" the report says,
whether the Emperor and his advisors
were not guided by the fear of the army

HAMBURG GREETS
SHIPPING REVIVAL
Some Life Again in Harbor of
German City, But Not Like
it Once Was.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

.
Hamburg, Aug. 2.--ln one day last
the way to Hamburg or TO enter the Kiel
Canal. This was the largest number of
ships to come into the Elbe in "a hours
since the early days Of the war, and the
event WAS hailed with intense satisfaction
here as a sign of better times. Five years
ago it was dull day when only score
OF vessels arrived. The Hamburg
American line alone usually bad from 25
to 80 big ships in port and the hnrbor was
so crowded with shipping that the problem
of docking often became acute.
In those days few flags other than those
of the German companies were seen. in
the harbor. Today Hamburg is literally
under foreign colors. Shipping companies
of all the principal nations have set up
offices here and the formerly powerful
German lines, having lost their ships,
are acting now only as agents. American,
British, Japanese, French, Italian, Span
ish, Dutch and Brazilian companies dis
play their advertisement in the shipping
papers, Advertisements of German con-
Germs are SO few that one must search for
them
There is some life again in the harbor
but the ships are nearly all foreign. One
passes along rows of splendidly equipped
docks and warehouses, once hive of
industry but now empty and still. And in
the absence Of the many ships that used
to make Hamburg n thriving commercial
center, trade has died away and the great
market places on the waterfront are
practically deserted. Before the war
Hamburg had become one of Europe's
chief coffee markets. Now only a few
sacks of that staple find their way here
While Hamburg was losing its glory as
a port, death was taking a heavy toll
of the so-called royal heads" of the big
German companies, including Albert
Ballin, president of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line and the brothers Adolph and
Edward Wocimann, who guided the
affairs of the great Noelmann Indian and
African lines africa House" the scene
of their labors, was the nerve center of
Germany's vast colonial trade. II stands
today a silent memorial of German
imperialism.
1t is realized that Hamburg faces a long
uphill struggle TO regain its pre-war
prestige. A well-known banker told the
correspondent he believed Hamburg had
irretrievably lost its financial power and
would never again enjoy the independent
position it had in the past
Germany" he said, lis more closely
united today than ever before. This
means that Hamburg must work not only
for itself but for all Germany as well
Until the country as whole begins TO
get back on its feet, Hamburg's progress
toward recovery must be slow
At the moment, unemployment is a
grave problem here. Between 10000 and
$4,000 workers are unemployed and Ham
burg is spending more than 100000
marks week in donations TO them. Labor
there is generally discontented and strikes
are frequent.

SMALL TOWN STORES.
Get Benefit From the Social SInd-
Ing Of their Employees.

When store can draw upon tho best
families in town for its salespeople il is
natural to suppose that the customers
are going to have small grounds for
complaint about tho service. This is, IN
fact, what many stores in the smaller
towns in tho South are able to do, and
through this accomplishment arc able
to make tho operation Of the store pretty
much Of family affair. The rcpresen-
tatives of Southern establishment ex-
planned why the stores have an oppor-
tunity to carry members Of ANAL town
society on their payrolls.
Many of the girls of these small
towns" he said, "are not content with
the so-called butterfly life. They are
anxious to do something, and yet their
families may object TO them going to
the large cities to study art or enter
business. AS compromise, then, 1t is
thought quite proper for such girls to
enter the local stores. But, of course,
it goes without saying that they are
onerous Besides the opportunity to
earn a little pin money there is also the
advantage Of being able to buy at whole
sale rates.
at is probably hard for city folks to
imagine the spirit Of the employees and
the management in one Of these stores.
The owner, of course, knows each one
of his people personally. They mingle
socially. The proprietor's wife, even IN
fairly large store, may be the cashier
IN the business. There is absolutely no
loss of social position involved in being
connected with the store organization.
| have known cases where even after
marriage woman has returned to the
store on busy Saturday TO help out
with the full consent of her husband.
"The social relations Of the store
clerks with the customers are encour-
aged, and there is no difficulty about
time off TO attend an afternoon tea
or some other function. The owner
knows that his store is bound 10 come
up in conversation at such affairs and
he reasons that the greater the circle
of friends enjoyed by his employees the
more benefit there is TO the establish
ment.
''Of course the attitude of customers
toward the clerks in such stores rs on
an ideal basis The naughty manner
of customers with sales people so often
seen In stores in large cities is never
TO be found, and the relationship be-
tween buyer and seller is always on a
friendly basis The big city stores are
striving TO cultivate this spirit, but 1T
seems 10 me the small town organiza-
tions such as have described have the
answer to the problem. They have pro-
noted the idea through their handling
and treatment of the clerks that there
is nothing undesirable about n store
position. New York Times.

NEW PLANS FOR PALESTINE.
Banks for Credits and Railroad I'M.
movements First.

Establishment of banks to grant long
term credits to farmers and business
men for the promotion OF agriculture
and commerce is one OF the FIRST recon-
structive measures planned in the Holy
Land bv Sir Herbert l.. Samuel. Brit
ish High Commissioner to Palestine, ne
announced shortly after assuming his
post under Great Britain's mandate over
the Holy Land.
"The railroads will be taken over
shortly by civil administration and
necessary work carried out. to prevent
a repetition of the Interruptions on lines
which caused losses and inconveniences
last Winter" he said. ''The railway from
.Jaffa to Ludd will be widened, while
other railway developments are contemp-
lated for the future
There is under consideration a large
program Of public works, including the
construction and Improvement OF roads,
the development OF telegripmc ana teiec
phonic communication, the provision OF
electric power throughout the country,
construction of harbor at Haifa, the
drainage of swamps and afforcstation on
suitable lands"
The measures designated to promote
the establishment of the Jewish national
home will greatly assist the economic
development of the country, Sir Herbert
declared. Large additional numbers Of
people will be able to secure a tveli-
hood from the development of the coun-
try, he pointed out.
Historic buildings which help TO
render Jerusalem an object OF profound
interest to visitors from all over the
world will be reverently preserved, he
continued, "and measures will be taken
to improve the aspect of the ancient
city. Archaeological research will be pro-
NOTED and steps will be taken to secure
the proper planning of the new quarters
which may by expected to rise In many
parts of Palestine.
''unsightly advertisements will be pro
hibited and every effort will be made
to encourage pilgrims and travellers TO
the Holy Land"
Sir Herbert said that the ports and
frontiers would be opened shortly to
limited immigration, which will be ap--
portioned according to the housing and
employment accommodations in the coun-
try. He announced that he would appoint
n land commission to determine what
lands were available for closer settle
ment in order to promote the devei-
opment of the country and insure that
no injustice is suffered by existing cul-
tivators. graziers or owners.
