American Business
In Germany Shows
Healthy Activity

Berlin, July 18.--A membership
mark of 1000 is rapidly being ap-
preached by the American Chamber
Of Commerce in Germany, as COM
pared with a maximum enrolment of
$50 before the war. The chamber was
established in 1903 for the purpose
of promoting trade relations between
the United States and Germany, and
especially the promotion Of American
foreign trade.
For the past four or five months, it
is officially stated, more than 100 ap-
plications for membership have been
laid before the board of directors at
each of its monthly meetings. The
constitution of the chamber provides
for two classes of membership, active
and associate. The former includes the
right to vote and hold Office and is
limited to American citizens; the lat
ter is open to all non American ma
tionahties.
The status of membership on June
IL showed 500 active and 1,041 asso-
cate members, the latter comprising
exclusive life ard honorary members.

"Cross Crossings Cautiously"
German Social Insurance
Faces Hard Times

Berlin, Aug. 4.-Medical treatment
costs 20 times more in Germany today
than it did before the war, declares
DR.. Heinrich Brauns, German minis
ter of labor, writing in the current
lumbar of Reconstruction. DR.. Brauns
calls attention to this increase in con-
nection with the critical situation
which, he says, prevails in Germany's
>ocial insurance.
Although so far the directors of the
sick funds have been successful in
maintaining the payment of the ben.
Gifts, the funds arc approaching their
day Of fate."
MediciH IS cost, on an average, %
times the pre-war figure, while in
1914 a charge of three marks was
made fcr days hospital treatment.
which now costs 100 marks.
According to the minister's stats
tics, f6,000,000 employees are insured
under the German Jnvalidity Insur-
ance system and 100000 under the
Private Employees Insurance.
The Sickness Insurance grants to
workmen, domestic servants, and
clerks, whose annual earnings do no.
exceed certain limit, cash payments;
and benefits in kind. The funds re.
sponsible for the payment of these
benefits are kept up by the contribu-
tons of the insured persons and of the
employers.
Accident and Invalidity insurances
also are provided. These, however, as
well as the sickness insurance, are be
ing operated today with a great dea!
Of difficulty and highly unsatisfactory
results, owing largely to the depreci-
alton in the value of the mark.
ut will depend on the value of the
mark and on the labor market" the
minister concludes, "as to whether tho
sick, the disabled and the invalids car
be protected AGAINST further misery

In Riga Even the Beggars
Are Able Linguists

Riga, Aug. A.-Therc have been 81:
many delegations of French officials
and business men in Riga this sum-
mer that the French language is be-
coming popular, adding another
tongue to the other three-Latvian,
Russian and German-already recog-
nized in the new Baltic state.
Because of the polyglot population
of the country, Latvian money has the
wording in Latvian, Russian and
German. The telephone "hello" girls
all speak these languages and some
of them also English, French and Es-
thoaian. Many of the Latvian gov
ernment officials speak English and
French. At the postoffice and at
many other government bureaus the
public notices are in the three official
languages and this summer, with in
auguration of the aerial post, French
has appeared on signs giving direc.
tions to the public for the proper
posting of mail intended for the avi.
alton service. In Riga the few beg.
gars there are nearly all speak five
or six languages, and some of then
use very good English, picked ur

Men Riddle House
Of Negro Shopmar

Rock Hill, Aug. A party of un-
known men, using pistols and shot
guns, bombarded the home of Alex
Dunlap, negro strikebreaker, at 8
o'clock this morning. Dunlap lives
on Crawford highway, just beyond
Clinton institute. No one was hurt
by the firing, but the rear windows of
the house were shattered, while sew
eral loads of shot entered bed in
the rear room. Dunlap and his wife
were sleeping in a front room and no
shots were fired into this portion of
the house.
Dunlap has been working in the 10.
cal shops of the Southern railway
since the shopmen walked out on
strike. Whether the home of the ne
gro was assaulted by strikers ana
strike sympathizers is not known. The
police are conducting an investigation
About "a shopmen walked out here
on strike orders July 1, a number of
these being negro helpers and car
cleaners. J. Webb White, in charge
OF the local shops, stated that he had
employed several negroes since the
walkout and that he now has nine at
work in the shops. Dunlap did not go
to work this morning, stating that he
would rather have another job and
a whole skin. The remainder of the
force turned up at the usual hour. IS
This was the first indication that
everything was not calm locally, and
the incident served to greatly dimin-
iah sympathy for the strikers. No
further trouble is ant;cipated here

Financial Outlook
In Portugal Causing
Political Unrest

Lisbon, Aug. Ga rate of ex-
change alarmingly low and prices of
foodstuffs exorbitantly high have con-
spired to make the cost of living in
Portugal serious problem. And
profiteering as an additional factor
cannot be overlooked. --..-.--..-
Several highly placed state func-
tionaries have been arrested and Jail
ed, charged with conspiracy and the
holding of secret meetings, which is
an indication of an underlying poll
tical unrest. 1t is felt in some quar-
ters that a military move H"st is in
preparation, to act in case a fresh
outburst of the turbulent clements
which brought about the poi. al as
sassinations of last October.
The press is clamoring against the
economic condition Of the colNtry
and Seculo vehemcntly EFFORTS the
government to put an CTd 10 the
speculation to which it chiefly at
tributes the increasing fall in eX-
change. The Minister of Finan,a is
trying to raise an internal loan .aG
has had conferences with several OF
the most prominent Portuguese Laak,
ers to this end. His efforts har" no;
so far been successful
One of the factors said t. con.
tribute to the situation is that, al.
though expectation amounts to sew
Cral million pounds, all this money
is deposited in foreign banks in.
stead of being paid out in the coun.
try. At the same time gambling ir
| exchange is being carried on in q
barefaccd manner. In London banks
alone there is said to be over 25,.
100000 Portuguese pounds which
would greatly improve the rate OF
exchange if left here. The constan'
arrest of officers and civilians anC
the fact of the troops having to
keep within barracks to be ready al
a moments notice, adds to the gen.
cral unrest.
ErOca directs attention to the
statement of the British Premier
Lloyd George, calling upon the ma
tions which owe England money t,
pay interest charges in October. This
| debt amounts to over $4,000 900
md the paper asks if the Interest
is to be paid when due.
