Shortly before the election Of

POST WAR BATTLE. is
MORE TRYING THAN WAR

houses have employed them in
divers capacities.
In short, the huge network Of
Germany's trade, commerce, and
industry is fairly dotted with
these CORNER heads of compan-
les, battalions, and other units
in he old and wartime armies.
They are in the mines, metal
works; machine Factories, cleo
tric plants, technical offices,
quarries, and export houses;
some have drifted to the film
industry.
The former ior in
the army have condescended to
be mere medical men or have be-
come specialists in their profes.
sion. Many went into the chem
zeal industry or took places in
hospitals. Officers blinded in
the war were mostly instructed
at the School for Blind at Mar
burg, where they studied politi-
cal economy and simultaneously
learned typewriting and stenog,
1aphy.
Certain Of the officers who, af-
J ter the close of the war, resolved
to begin life anew as settlers in
some foreign land, are reported
! to have had really unhappy ex-
periences. Some died miserably
after sore privation; while some
few others succeeded in getting
back to the Fatherland. Only q
small minority made real prog
ress abroad. Very few left the
a, country, however, it is said, and
the charge that German ex-offi-
: GERS since the war have joined
foreign armies and navies is re-
garded here as unfounded.
The marked transformation in
mode Of living has variously af-
fected the family life Of ex-offi-
GERS, not all Of whom can main
tain their former social status.
For example, there is the case Of
the wel[known First Lieutenant
Berg, who in the world war was
the commander Of the "Appam. .
!, taken as a prize ship by the
Moewe." He obtained a situa-
it;on in Hamburg leaving his
- wife and children in the Darish
town of Apenrade, formerly Ger
man. With his slender income
Eerg was unable to meet the
cost Of his family's upkeep,
which became increasingly high
due to the Danish standards Of
valuation. He finally killed
himself when the family had
been reduced to want.
:! Individual instances Of re-
5 sourcefulness were Of everyday
occurrence. One lieutenant used
his last resources to buy taxi
! cab which he and his former or
, derly drove alternately. Now
: the taxi belongs to the orderly
and the lieutenant can devote to
study the humble receipts OF his
enterprise. Three Z. boat offl-
GERS combined and bought A

4 postwar existence in civilian
life has proved more harrassing
than the fortunes Of the battle
field to many Of the thousands OF
German officers who survived
the war. They numbered some
3OO,O at the time Of the armis,
tee. While the majority held
Only wartime commissions,
there were a large number II
veterans for whom the lifting
smoke Of the conflict revealed
that they had suddenly been up
rooted from their chosen careers
and were forced to begin afresh
~ new fields. It was especiallz
difficult for the aged officers,
who were no longer vigorous and
adaptable enough to battle ef-
fcctively in an economic maels
from already burdened with
J keen competition.
The German army. and navy
in peace times included an ac-
tive officers corps Of $3.50, of
whom $4,000 were in the mill
tary forces. When the war
! broke out this list was augment
ed by 100000 Of those who were
retired Or on reserve. In addi
! tion there was the commissioned
staff Of the medical branches
numbering 1896. The total
loss in the corps amounted f.:
about $4,000 killed and 96,213
wounded.

Action of u. S.
OnlyCanSave
Armenians

Washington, June 6.-Believ-
ing that only action by the Unit
ed States Government can save
the remnant Of Armenians from
further persecution and probable
determination on account of their
faith, the Federal Council Of
Churches is making nation
wide appeal to 10000 congre-
cations in America to urge Con
gress to take necessary steps to
ensure the permanent protection
Of Christians under Turkish rule.
This appeal is being sent in con
junction with the Near East Re
lief to all pastors.
The tragedy Of Armenia hax
become so acute that the churches
feel that American must act.
They point out that the Armen-
ians were one Of our allies during
the war and were given a pledge
by this country and the other
allies that they would be protec-
ted from the Turks.
The Churches in the letter ex-
press their horror at the thought
OF exposing the Armenians to
further prosecutions They
state their opposition to entrust
ing the Armenians to the SOW
ereignty of the Turk and declare
that in accordance with pledges
made the Armenians must be as
sured a protected country. They
are in favor Of the United States
igiving financial support to what
ever body assumes the trust Of
organizing the administration Of
Armenia.
The appeal to the churches
summarizes the present plight of
Armenia as follows:
I "First, the Armenians were
one of the Allies in the late war
and fought for it's ideals.
"Second, in consequence of
their loyalty, they suffered un-
told prosecutions, almost to the
!, verge of annihilation.
"Third, the Allies as we'll as
our own country pledged them
g safe area for themselves and
their children, and they have {
right to expect nothing less.
} Fourth, the American public
has given millions of dollars tt
save the remnant Of this shatter
ed race, in confidence that they
will be given a protected home
"Fifth, this remarkable res
ponse to a nations need will b:
lost if these promises are no
fulfilled.
"Sixth, the Allied Powers ar
preparing a treaty with the Tu:
kish Nationalfsts which threaten
to return the Armenians to I'm
restricted Turkish control
Seventh, responsibility fni
: protecting the Armenians ha:
t been referred to the League o
: Nations
l Eighth, America cannot cs
: cape her responsibility upon tn
y. ground of nonmembership il
Y The League. Our vast relic
contributions, the cause Of hu
f manity, and our own moral wei
fare, demand not expressions o
sympathy, but action.
The appeal then suggests tha
pastors and churchmembers ex
e press their opinion to their con
l. gressmen and senators so tha
t they may have the viewpoint o
5 people back home. The signer
+ Of the appeal are: For the Fed
: eral Council: DR.. John NJ
S Moore, chairman Of the admins
f trative committee; DR.. John q

e sion on International Justice an

ASK UNIFORM SIGNALS
Railway Association Recon-
mends Standard CoIorS.
One of the Suggestions Made In tho
y Interest of Public Safety Is Use
of Yellow in Automobile
Tail Lights. j..

Chicago.-In the interest of public
safety recommendations for the stand
ardization Of colors for traffic signals
are being considered These recon-
mendations were made on behalf or
the signal section Of the American
Railway association at a recent con-
ference requested by the Illuminating
Engineering society and the lnterna-
tional Traffic Officers association and
held under the auspices Of the Ameri-
can engineering standards committee.
The recommendations are:
/. The principle Of red for stop
everywhere, unless qualified by more
favorable indication-that Is at high
way crossings with railroads If train
is approaching, in fixed signals and
in the hands of traffic officers, at
street intersections, at the ends OF
streets, and possibly to indicate ex'
cavations in streets.
2. Yellow for tail lights Of automo
biles, possibly excavations in streets
and for calling policemen, or for any
other purpose where caution is re-
quired; possibly at busy street inter
sections to indicate that. the traffic
lights will be changed from red tc
green or from green to red.
8. Green lights for fire escapes, fol
proceed at street intersections anc
other purposes to indicate the way i
clear.
In presenting these recommends
lions on behalf of the signal section
A. Fl. Rudd, chief signal engineer o.
the Pennsylvania system, said;
1.-THE railroads are particularly III
terested in eliminating the use of tn
red light for various purposes othe
than that of indicating danger or stol
unless qualified by a more Favorable
color. They desire that any schem
devised may conflict as little as pos
sible with their own signal systems a
ready established and that uniformlt
of indications in the protection o
| highway crossings at grade may be e.
tablished."
