cost of the war per day during the
world struggle.
Billions and billions of marks, y
he says, ARE spent daily for protect
ing both the Ruhr front and the home
front Six million persons in the Ruhr
district alone have to be fed chiefly
at the expense of the country; that is
almost as many ms were all the sol
diers in the German almies during the
war"
Repeating their action at the time
of the great struggle, the great "pa-
triotic land barons" have raised
prices and are making fortunes out
of the profits from their transactions
with the government. OF these bill
lions they give a million or two to
the Ruhr relief fund and are praised
throughout the country for their
patriotism"
Buying Coal Abroad.
The home front also is costing Ger
many heavily. AS 80 per cent Of her
coal was mined in the Ruhr valley
and not n single carload has come
from there in weeks, Germany has to
BUY coal abroad. This means the sac
rifice of large part of the national
wealth. Even her gold reserve has
been drawn upon and only last week
another 15,000,000 gold marks was
sent to neutral country as security
for coal purchases made abroad.
Unemployment, too is increasing
everywhere in Germany but particu-
larly in the Ruhr district. Dusseldorf
which had only handful of unem-
ployed when the French invaded the
region now has 25,0O0.

their energies toward approximating
or excelling the new standard of speed
and comfort.
Their business is to supply q SER
vice that will save time, save money
and equal the comfort and convenienc
of the automobile.
1t cannot be done By following
methods Of a few years ago.
Service Comes First.
"The first requisite toward main
tanning good public relations there
fore is service" Mr.. Budd said. "A
company may spend large sum Of
money in advertising its service, but
unless the service really is good, the
advertising will not be effective.
"The modern meaning of service
includes much more than the mere
giving Of ride.
"The business of the electric rail.
way company today is to supply trans.
portatioh so convenient and so econom.
ical that the passenger will choose IT
in preference to any other.
Assuming company is giving that
character of service, it must display
its goods to prospective customers.
"a wideawake merchant does not fill
his store with superior goods and wait
for customers to come in ana buy.
"He goes out after the customers
and the electric railway company must
do the same.
1.-THE better service company gives
and the more it advertises that ser
vice, the better are its public rela.
tons.
"One important way in which pu5-
lie relations may be improved is
through the employees of the company.
"The merchant draws customers to
his store by advertising and display
ing his goods.
when they enter the store he sees
to it that they are given the right
kind of service and attention.
"He sells his customers service
along with the goods and they come
back.
precisely the same methods must
be followed by transportation com.
panies.
at is obvious that before employees
can become efficient statesmen, the
company must first SELL Itself to its
employees.
"The successful salesman must be-
lieve in the goods he is selling and
the company which offers them for
sale.
Small Details Count.
"The smallest detail should not be
overlooked.
"A cheerful good morning from a
pleasant-mannered trainman will Of
ten change crouch to a smile.
"Think of the effect which n thou
sand courteous obliging trainmen will
have on their customers.
"Of the many ways of improving
public relations. the most important
I believe. is through the employees"
The advertising appropriation OF
Mr.. Budd's road is the largest OF
any electrical railway company in
the United States and the newspaper
space is literally used.
In the last seven years the gross
earnings have increased five times over
and the freight earnings now are fiji
teen times what they were five years
ago.

CRAFTSMEN TO U. S.
Britain Losing Its Best Workers Dur
ing Employment Slumps.

London, Oct. 12.-Laments that
Great Britain is being drained of her
best craftsmen because of unemploy-
ment here and the superior attractions
of the United States labor market
are becoming frequent in the press.
This loss is said to be causing con-
Germ to employers and labor leaders
because the skill of these workers
is necessary to the welfare of British
industry.
Steel plant employees and the ship
builders are the chief emigrants.
Their goal is invariably the United
States, where they are said to be
snapped up eagerly.
The Daily Mail quotes Chairman
Brownie OF the Amalgamated En-.
gineers' Union as saying that Amer
lea is reaping the benefit Of the
British apprenticeship system, which
does not exist in the United States.
