THINGS PICK UP ON THE RHINE
Germans Get Better Wages AND
Live Better
Associated Pressl

Coblenz, Germany, Nov %
Workmen in most parts OF Germany
are said now to be receiving better
wages, everything considered, than
prior to the war, and working short
err hours. This is particularly true
of the occupied area, according TO
American army officers who in their
line Of duty have come in contact
with the German working classes.
That the workman is able to live
better under present conditions Is
due, in a large measure, to the fact
that strict regulations Of food prices
has been enforced by German
authorities and has prevented shop
keepers from boosting the cost OF
the necessities of life, despite depre-
citation in the value Of the mark.
These regulations apply chiefly to
house rent, meat, potatoes and other
staples produced within the country.
