GEORGIAN TELLS
OF GERMAN RISE
Low Value Of Mark And Pay In
Dollars Gives Manufacturers
Double Profit

ATLANTA, April 28.-' Industry
in Germany has repidly recovered to
the same standard that was in evil
dence before the war;" declared
Lieut.. T. M, Brinkley, who has spent
three years service in Germany, and
who passed through Atlanta on his
way to Warrenton, his home, for
visit to relatives. During his three
years in Germany, Lieut.. Brinkley
has had opportunity to observe the
readjustment to former conditions of
the German people Said he:
, 'EThe low value of the mark has
helped German manufacturers, who
pay their labor in marks and receive
American dollars for their goods,
which gives a double profit. They
are reaping a rich harvest and many
new plants are being erected. The
Germa ngovernment give encourage
ment and as railroads are operated
by the government, they are run for
the peoples benefit.
Gas the people look upon waste as
one of the worst crimes, nothing is
wasted. A use is found for every by
product. Even the trees in their
forests are numbered and when one
is cut, it is accounted for
Germany is Americas greatest
rival in foreign commerce, and if we
will follow. German methods of eff
iciency we will eclipse Gerany in
every way, as our resources are not
to be compared"
