NO UNEMPLOYMENT
AMONG GERMANS
Labor Member of British Parliament Re
perts Conditions of Workers In
That Country.

LONDON. Oct. 7.-Thomas Kennedy,
labor member OF parliament, visited Ger
many recently to- learn something of the
conditions OF the working classes there.
He tells in justice what most impressed
HIM, and he makes some interesting com
parsons between German and British
workers.
There are no unemployed in Ger
many" Mr.. Kennedy writes. There are
gloomy fOrbOdIngs of what the next SIX
months may bring to the German work
erS, but 50 far the German people have
escaped the war miseries and uncertain
ties that are our LOT here. The differ
ences and divisions between skilled and
uuskillcd workers are much less pro-
nounced in Germany than III Britain.
At the time of my visit, when the rate
OF exchange was anything between 1000
and 5000 marks to the pound, the aver
age wage was in the neighborhood OF 10
marks an hour.
1t would be foolish of course. to
suggest that there is no poverty in Ger
many. l was told by those who are in
close touch with the life of the German
worker that the general standard OF COM
fort Is lower today than anything expert
need by the present generation of Ger
man workers. But even 50, although /
visited some of the poorest parts of Der
lin, | saw nothing 50 SOrdid as the pow
erty and Squalor of the poorest districts
of Glasgow. Edinburgh. Leeds or London.
The republic is possessed of enormous
material wealth and intellectual resource
which have not been destroyed by mill
tary defeat On the contrary, it may
soon be apparent that military defeat has
/ but awakened new powers by Kidding the
life Of the German people of the domina-
ton of the militarist and imperiaiist
castles.
The most casual observer could hardly
fail to be impressed by the appearance
! of the countrys solid strength in ma
terial resources and productive power.
| In agriculture and forestry the territory
through which I travelled is the richest
| and most highly developed [ have ever
seen.
Harvest operations were in full swing
| and even here the contrast between Ger
man and British methods was most strik-
| ing.
In the industrial centers there was
no indication of depression or exhaus-
| ton: smoking factory chimneys and
| blazing furnaces pointed in an exactly
| opposite direction"

HEADS BIG BAND OF
ORGANIZED CROOKS

Men of Education, Scientific Attachments

Woman Has University Education.
LONDON, Oct THE police are
seeking in this city the head of what is
said to be Il remarkable group of interna-
tional criminals. 4 veritable Napoleon
of Crime is believed to have established
his headquarters here He is alleged to
command a well organized band of inter
national crooks. every one of whom is a
past master of every form of nefarious
craftsmanship known in the underworld
They include men of education, scieptific
attachments, and social charm. Under
the leadership of their mysterious chief
they are credited with conducting burg
laries, cracking safes, and committing
costly jewel robberies that battle detec-
ton. They are declared to work in ac-
cordance with plans of campaign pre-
pared by the master mind with all the
skill of a great military strategist.
several papers print this story with
varying degrees OF sensatiOnalism. OF
late there has been an increasing num-
Der OF jewel robberies. As a result an
tti9uA stLiNC GOaiIBdug which lnSufGS 4 good
deal of valuable jewelry has increased
ITS premiums charged on this class of
risks by % per cent.
j. w. Bell. one of London'S leading as
SeSorS, says that many recent big robber-
les have been so well planned and ex-
ecuted that the police can do little more
than suspect the authors.
The people who engineer these crimes
are not the common, ordinary type of
thief" Mr.. Bell says. There is more
tnan one real Raffles in existence today.
They haunt society gatherings, and IN
the hotels they are popular guests.
Il know one man who has a town adj
dress. Il country house near Bourne
mouth, and two fine motor-cars. who is
more than suspected of completely in
some of these great rObberies, but up
to the present time there has never been
the slightest chance of connecting him
with any of them.
He is of good appearance, always
well-drcssed. and would. in the ordinary
way, be- accepted as Il guest at the houses
of wealthy people.
Il know one instance in>~vhich 4 di-
rector of thieves is rcputed to be worth
S1500C0. Another successful director
Is a woman who has a university educa-
ton. and has a cultured and charming
personality.
The victims. both in hotels and at
private houses are often watched and
Swallowed fer days before a suitable or
portunitv for the robbery occurs. It
may easily cost $1,000 or 81 500 to meet
the expenses of a successful haul. and
the big thieves require frequent r5bberies
to maintain themselves

key is of the lot of 1900 cases which
disappeared from the Republic Storage
warehouses, the agents said Some of
tie whiskey stolen from the Anchor
warehouse was also recovered in this
raid.
But more important than the value of
the liquors seized was the connection
that this alleged bootleg enterprise had
TO the great international bootleg opera
tions of one of the biggest illicit whis-
key rings that has sprung up in this
country since prohibition went into eff
feet. according to Col. William Hay
ward, United States district attorney,
who accompanied the raiders and made
the important discovery of the trap door
leading from a garage into the appar-
emily walled-in cellars that held the
liquors.
Col Hayward declared this raid is
the climax of lone investigation which
had been conducted by his office in con-
junction with Zone Chief Appleby and,
he added. means the end of one of the
most gigantic bootleg undertakings in
existence. Mamie Kessler is said by
Col Hayward and Chief Appleby to be

prise. He is now under small bond
in connection with the disappearance Of
the whiskey from the Republic storage

Historic Edifices to Be

Of all creeds in Russia for the BEN
eft of the famine sufferers, in

sariat of Justice to work out the
method and the instruction for ex-
ecution of the decree as soon as
possible.
The value OF the gold and sill
yer candlesticks, the gold covered
and bejeweled ikons, the chalices
and salvers is yariously estimated
but in weight the precious metals
and the jewels alone are reported
to be worth hundreds of millions
of dollars.
Although varying sentiments
have been evinced as to the strip
ping of the historic edifices of the
country of treasures dating back
for rNcenturies, some of the notables
among them approve the idea.
Archbishop Evodokin of Novgo-
rod, in letter to the Pravda, ad-
vises the sacrifice as "a loan to
Cod" to be repaid in heaven. 1t
warns that cold heartedness to-
ward the famine stricken will
bring punishment in the future.

only will wipe away tear of suf-
fering humanity but also will save
a man from DEATH" says the arch

The demonstration. however,
was confined 70 one tattered soldier
of the army of unemployed, who
marched to and fro along the
water front, sandwiched between
placards exhorting the joblessy to
join him.

indirect affiliation with organized
labor, taxation of capital to provide
work and sustenance for the un-
employed, compete disarmament,
opening of the mansions along Fifth
avenue, while the owners are sun
