German Society Has Nothing Left Look Up To

and they rejoice in unprecedented
attendance. Many people throw
themselves into amusements with a
reckless spirit, bent only upon es-
Gaping from the disgusting realities
of the time. Horse racing last year
was especially popular; the largest
attendance on record was scored at
one event. When the season reached
its end a special late autumn season
was arranged for, and already the
events scheduled for 1920 are more
numerous than those for 1919. The
open air bicycle race also survives
in undiminished popularity.
The tneaters hold their own, de-
spite the competition of concerts
and cinemas. Reinhardt last year
converted a great circus building
into theater seating about $500
persons, and, with Greek drama and
the best Of modern plays. he is fill
ing it without difficulty. A few Of
the theaters are keeping up the best
traditions Of the German stage, but
others are deteriorating to keep
pace with popular taste. The
coarse vein of German life has
swollen visibly since the revolution;
public taste is running more than
ever to plays dealing suggestivery
with sexual problems, plays that
are shameless in their audacitv.
These always draw crowds.

club and salesroom would be just
the thing"
New Workers who have not as
sumed that at is pretty late in the
season for wounded soldiers" are
offered a chance to make this "Ex-
Service Mems Crafts Club" reality
by Miss Barnum and the other
young women now employed at
Staten Island.
The Case of Joe
I'VE do not like to think of giving
up our work completely after we
have seen what can be done for
American soldiers" said Miss Bar
nun.
An example of what the Fox Hills
vocational training has done for
some men was seen in the case of
Joe" Joe is known to all his
wounded comrades for his logged
fight to overcome physical disability
and get back into the world with a
bang. He is Giakino Battista, for
merly of the quartermaster's corps
at Camp Upton, who contracted
pneumonia and then acute pleurisy
at his army work.
Joe came out Of active army
duties an American citizen and into
Fox Hills for three operations. He
got interested in automechanics and
has just been discharged for good
and all from the army to return to
his home in Michigan at automobile
repair work, with a compensation of
S45 week. Joe admitted the ether
day that he had never earned more
than $50 a week in his whole Italian
life.
With the cooperation Of Colonel
Ford, the commanding officer at Fox
Hills, Lieutenant Lee, IN charge Of
the therapy in which joe became
interested, has placarded the hos
pital with the message:
"Joe cashed in on leisure hours
at S45 week What are you going
to do?"
The season for wounded soldiers
is not half over, and if the average
New Yorker does not believe it he
can become thoroughly convinced at
Fox Hills, Staten Island.

York Polytechnic and other govern
ment hospitals.
The young women would call their
institution the "Ex-Service Mems
Crafts Club" and would ask the
government to give to it such tools
and materials as are left when voca-
tional therapy becomes impossible
through lack of Congressional aid
to carry it on at Fox Hills.
"There are many of our boys in
New York to-day" said Miss Fay

city where one of their many rulers
had his court, and those social
strugglers who took as their motto
"Patronize home royalties" are also
bereft of the local standard bearer
of social traditions.
So all over Germany the labeled
and approved best families" feel
themselves let down to lower level /;
the glamour and glory Of a presen-
tation at court can no longer be
looked forward to by ripening young
misses. The stiff and formal court
balls, from Berlin all the way down
to Schaumburg- Lippe, no longer at
tract aspiring mammas. Ministers
of state no longer need invest half
of a years salary in an elaborate
gold embroidered coat.
Germany has thus society with
nothing to look up to, and the loss
is a painful one, for the Germans
were accustomed for generations
to looking up, not only politically
but socially. President Ebert, of
course, makes no social pretensions
whatever. His enemies, devotees of
the old German tradition that is
dead, are fond Of amusing them

ducal colleagues. German society
entered upon new phase. 1t be-
came a society with its top Topped
off.
The ultimate goal of all social
ambitions, the highest prizes of all
social strugglers, suddenly vanished
and left a painful vacuum behind.
No more are splendid court equip
ages seen rolling down Inter den
Linden; instead, the royal stables
are to be converted into city
library, and the fine old carriages
have either been sold or put into
museums. The peculiar blast of the
horn carried on the royal automo-
biles-which no plebeian horn dared
imitate-lives only as a memory,
"from elfiand family blowing"

Has Fourteen Wounds

Sergeant William J. Weston, of
Atlantic City, formerly of the 310th
Machine Gun Battalion, in the 10th
/ Division, is another of them.
Weston was one of the battalion
fighting north of Montfaucon on
February S, 1918. A German shell
killed fourteen of them and wound
ed twenty eight. Weston was hit
fourteen times by she'll fragments.
A part of his hip was shot away,
rendering both legs useless. Since
that time he has had ten operations
under ether and any number of
minor operations.
F. Before he joined the army Wes-
ton was a bricklayer foreman.

pitfalls for many months and finally
came to Fox Hills, where they tried
again to save his leg. A few days
ago he lost part of one leg and left
Staten Island for the Walter Reed
Hospital, at Baltimore, where after
they remove another piece of bone
from what is left of the leg they
will fit him out with an artificial
one.
Holland wears the ribbons Of the
French Croix de Guerre, the Amer

Prince a Bank Clerk

Yet readjustment to the new con-
ditions is making progress. Men and
women everywhere are exerting
themselves to meet the practical de-
mands of new, stern era. Prince
August Wilhelm is working in a
bank, and others are turning from a
sinecure existence to face the hard
struggle that is daily growing hard
err. A new zeal for training mind
and hand for new work is showing
itself in many directions. And so So
ciety as a collection of men and
women who must mingle with each
other for interchange of thought
for common amusements, is sinking
more and more into the background,
and individuals are being considered
more as economic factors, as pro-
ducers and consumers of commodi-
ties.

BY Wilbur Forrest

a WOUN DE D soldier, on
- crutches, hobbled into the
! n doorway of cafe in
Greenwich Village few
ssvs ago and was addressed thus
hv an attendant who held open the
door while he negotiated the pas
sage:
"It's pretty late in the season,
s;n't it, son, for wounded soldiers?"
"Yeah, it's pretty late in the sea-
son, boss, but you'll find about a
thousand of EN- over at Fox Hills,
Staten Island, if you want to take
.he trouble to look EN- up" retorted
the wounded boy.
I have investigated that big
American army hospital at Fox
Hills, S. l., and can testify that
there are about a thousand wounded
bows there who feel that the av-
erage New York individual thinks
lust about as much of their plight
il he thinks at alias the Green
wich Village cafe doorkeeper.
How many people in New York
and elsewhere, for that matter,
think for a minute nowadays about
wounded soldiers? How many
realize that there are thousands of
the boys who faced red hot steel
and high explosives on American
battlefelds in Europe still suffering,
many bed-ridden and in terrible
pain, many with torn bodies, never
again capable in their former vo-
cations, many facing life with terri
Bile handicaps? How many people
realize that the great European War
is yet just a historical infant for
whose victorious advent humans
are still paying the highest price
this side of death? Most probably
the answer is that very few realize
all these things.

6 { : Isn't "Closed''

inches of the humerus missing and
nineteen full months of hospitals is
Reichert's lot to-day.
"There are nineteen members of
the New York police force still suf-
fering wounds in army hospitals"
Reichert told me.
What do you think about the
bonus?" / asked.
eff / could get a million dollar
bonus l wouldn't trade it for the
old days when I used to swing a
club with my good right arm," said
the sergeant. II supported my
sixty-year-old mother then. Now
my brother, at $40 Elliot Avenue,
Tottenville, S. l., is supporting her.
Reichert has not thought of what
he will do when he leaves Fox Hills.
And that will not be soon. Perhaps
he will have another operation.
Elliott Rogers, of Mantle, Conn,
member of the 1O1st Machine Gun
Battalion in the 26th Division, was
wounded near Chateau Thierry on
July 90, 1918. Rogers came to Fox
Hills last June after being treated
in American army hospitals at Wit
tel, Limoges and Bordeaux, France,
and two other hospitals in the United
States.
A piece of high explosive shrapnel
shell tore out the back Of Rogers's
thigh, severed the sciatic nerve and
paralyzed a portion of his body.
Season Still On There
1t was Rogers on crutches who
encountered the Greenwich Village
cafe doorman, who thought the sea-
son was little late for wounded
soldiers. Elliott thinks he will get
out of the hospital next fall after
he has one or two more operations.
He is going to become an architect,
THE season isn't late for wounded
soldiers around here" said Elliott,
pointing to a number of his pals
sitting in wheel chairs or hob
bling on crutches around the
Red Cross rest room at Fox Hills.
I'VE who are able to get around
don't crab much about our lot, be-
cause we can always look around and
see fellows who are so much worse
off than we are. Take a look, for
instance, in Ward 38, the nerve
cases. There are thirty-four beds
full of wounded soldiers in season in
Ward 49, One of them is a shrap-
mel brain case, and he's learning
everything all over again like a
baby. III say he's right in season."
I 1t isn't at all hard to find some
hundreds of Uncle Sans boys who
are fright in season." wandering
about the grounds, sitting in wheel
chairs in the corridors or fiat on
their backs in beds or working in
the vocational shops, learning trades,
at Fox Hills.
