the army unframed for work other

liked by the population that he has
difficulty in finding any kind OF en-
ployment, the officers lot in demo-
cratic Germany is a hard one. His
pre-war world, in which he strutted
about as the privileged pet Of his en-
peror, has been utterly destroyed.
Many have been reduced to extreme
financial straits. The m~iddle-aged ex-
officer gets a pension Of $500 marks
a year., but that is only about a fifth
of the amount required to maintain a
family. SO urgent is their need that a

DENY CHARGES.

Mexico City, July 10.-Dental OF
published charges that the national
wireless station at Capultepec was
used To communicate with Germany
during the world war and that its per.
sonnet is German In its most important
components is made in q statement
printed by Ell Heraldo de Mexico over
the signature Of f. Frias, the neg d.
rector general Of the national .teie-
graph lines.
According to Senior Frias. the Cha
p%ultepec plant was in process OF con-
~struction from the middle OF 1917 to
the middle Of 1919 and, because 1t
could not function at full efficiency
during that time, communication with
Nauen was an impossibility.
Senior Frias asserts that the only
Germans connected with the station
are employed in the shop annexes and
are engaged exclusively in making
new wireless equipment for substa-
lions while Mexicans direct and oper-
ate the station.
The Mexican wireless system, Senior
Frias states, consists OF % stations, IA
on the coasts and 8 in the interior. The
costal stations are mainly for mari
time service, while the interior sta

The young Chinese to whom the
