Herr Krupp Thrives
On Cold Prison Life

Duesseldorf, Oct ga, p. nv
MaiD-Now that he has room to
swing his beloved dumb-bells. the
rigors of prison life, so far as per-
sonal discipline is concerned, hold no
terrors for DR.. Gustav Krupp Won
Bohlen und Halboch, president of the
council of trustees Of the Krupp firm
at Essen, who is serving a term of
10 years imprisonment here. imposed
by French court-martial for CORE
sponsibility for the rioting in the
\rupp plants last Easter Saturday,
which resulted in the death of 10
Krupp workmen.
Prison life for DR.. Krupp Won Boh-
len, as we'll as for DIR. Rudolf Hart
wig, DR.. Bruno Bruhn and DR.. Otto
Oesterlen, members of the Krupp
BOARD of directors and for Franz
Muller, chairman of the Workmen's
Council, who are serving Sentences
under the same charge, has recently
been considerably ameliorated. All
five men have been removed from
their individual cells, where they
were first confined, to separate rooms
in the home of the prison director,
adjacent, where they enjoy certain
amount of personal freedom and freer
contact with each other and with
visitors VINO come to see them.
This leaves DIR. Krupp Won Bohlen
free to follow his habitual bent for
apparatus gymnastics. None of the
five prisoners is ever out of sight of
guard.
Winter, now creeping up insidious-
ly may seem black to the majority of
the prisoners, who look forward
shudderingly toward cold, dark cells,
but not to Herr Krupp. Lack of coal
never did worry him. When the
plumbers installed the heating sys-
tenn in his mansion at Essen, they
had strict orders-not to put any RAJ
diatpr in his study. He simply
doesn't believe in heat.
Nor does his abstemiousness stop
with his aversion to being warmed.
He has never been known to smoke.
and his closest friends say he doesn't
know what alcoholic liquor tastes
like. They are not surprised, there
fore, that Herr krupp is thriving on
prison life.

CAN BIG BUSINESS SETTLE?

Were one to try to follow all that
IL being said about conditions in
Europe, who 10 at fault in all in
stances, what each Of the several
countries should do toward solution
Of the problems his head soon would
be in . whirl. There are. however.
certain outstanding features. One OF
the first is that evident fact that the
ascendency of France is causing
jealousy among her neighbors. in
flaming German hate and puzzling
her best minds. that the French pre-
naisr 10 forced to consider his political
situation at home as well as the po-
sition France occupies abroad.
1t has been said democracies are
an excellent safeguard against war
as they are unable to make war as
readily as are the more centralized
forms of government. 1t almost
looks as though it were equally diff
cult for them to make peace and for
like reason.
There have been recent indications
of . growth of public opinion against
France This may hardly be wholly
attributable to German propaganda,
although that, with the propaganda
In England and Italy has had an in
Auence difficult to estimate. France
undoubtedly has been much ma
ligned; she has shown, however, a
shrewd appreciation .. the German
character and purposes all along and
events have borne her out. On the
other hand the world has rapidly
been growing FESTIVE over the delay
in settlement of the controversy and
has seized upon the incidents which
have indicated a desire on the part
OF France to divide Germany and to
cripple 1t as competitor. Such con-
clusion may have been acceptable in
the consciousness that were critics in
the place of France this would be
their wish. But it is not an enviable
position in which to be in. The
world is comparatively small place.
No nation may live wholly unto itself.
Poircare evidently is not unmindful
Of this. as shown in his latest effort
to take the lead in investigation of
Germany's ability to pay.
The success which attended the eff
fort of France through cooperation
with German industrialists to end
passive resistance in the Ruhr, the
evident fact that the Germans no less
than the French are dependent on
some kline of settlement, are en-
couraging factors in the situation.
There is no reason to doubt that If
the Germans. what with the money
they have gotten out of the country
ana deposited in foreign banks were
disposed to draw on this, IL they are
convinced that it is necessary to do
this in order to obtain q settlement,
that without such settlement German
prosperity 10 doomed. some settle
nent might be had with France. Big
business is . big factor In the French
government. It virtually rules Ger
mary. II 1t may reach al agreement
There 10 likelihood that a settlement
can be obtained. This is indica tied
by stfe ripple caused by monarchial
uprasings. When Germany's big busi-
nese says the word there probably
will be such form Of government as
1t desires, with rulers such az it may
select. The Kaiser was its tool; the
German people were Its goose step
psrs.

WHY NOT MAKE BEGINNING?

With the recurrence OF winter
there recurs the need of better medi-
cal service in the rural communities
so soon to be shut in by the SHOWS of
winter. This need has been evident
for quite a number of years through
out the country. There was no CO.
ordinated effort by the farmers in
the past legislatures to provide a
remedy. In fact no definite remedy
has been decided upon. Until it is
the coordinated efforts are not likely
to be made and until they are made
the situation will probably continue
to lend encouragement to living In
the country during the winters.
Various plans are suggested. Per-
haps the most promising OF these is
assistance in securing a medical
education in return for an agree
ment to practice certain number of
years in the rural communities. 1t
is by no means certain. however,
that desirable applicants could he
found under this plan, though 1t
seems to warrant the attempt.
1t appears that some towns have
offered to guarantee a fixed income
to a resident doctor. but even at
that he has not always been found.
This indicates one of two things,
either there are not enough doctors,
not enough of competition, or they
prefer to take what they can get in
the cities along with the conyen-
fences there and the hope OF rising
to the top than to separate them
selves from these possibilities for the
good living which might be found in
the country.
If there be a dearth of doctors 1t
would not seem strange, considering
the time and the money now requir-
ed of those who seek a medical edu-
cation. Having secured the degree,
they evidently feel that they can i'll
afford to take, it to the rural
neighborhood. The sale of bogus
degrees, reported in the newspapers
may indicate a shortage in the num-
Der of genuine practitioners. If
this be the condition it may be
remedied by subsidies or aid to
young apsirants for a medical de-
gree, who haven't the funds re-
quired. Certainly here is call for
concerted effort and now is an op-
Fortune time to get about it.
Willie the residents of the rural
regions are most deeply interested,
the cities Indirectly are and should
be willing to assist. What with the
increase in the number of hospitals
and capable surgeons in the nearby
centers the requirements of the rural
practitioner are not as exacting as
were those of the country doctor in
the old days. Even a resident nurse,
who should be well trained and
equipped, having telephone facilities
for obtaining medical directions II
needed, would be a great improve
ment on conditions that exist in too
many communities and might be a
beginning to something better. Why
not make beginning?
