, TT is the schiehers and raffkes who
i are the chief support of the gam
bling hells of Berlin and Of the dance
! halls. at some OF which the girls wear
only a little more clothing than Eve
preceding the fall. The gambling
goes on in we'll appointed parlors and
in every grade of society. It is for
all sorts OF stakes, from millions of
marks down to bottles of wine. which
are sometimes won at roulette. :
Some OF these dance halls are pail
aces. There is one within short
distance of the palace of President
/ Ebert which accommodates 500 pee-
pie. The dancing floor is surrounded
by tables, at which men and women
sit drinking champagne. watching the
crowd whirling about In semi-licen-
tious dances Some of the people are
eating. and at all such dance halls
one can get excellent food. There are
several hundred In Berlin, and until
the French came into the Ruhr and
cut down the coal supply the dancing
went on the greater part of the night.
The schiebers and raffkes and the
foreigners keep up the big hotels and
restaurants of Berlin. You may see
them at the Adlon, the Esplanade. the
Kaiserhof and other high-priced
hotels, and the tourists, considering
them a type of existing conditions,
cannot realize the bankruptcy of Ger
many.
And, indeed. IL is hard to believe in
these stories OF. poverty when one
goes to the resorts OF the rich. Take
the Mercedes restaurant. where l
dined last night. 1t Is on Inter den
Linden. two blocks from the Branden
burg Tor. A man In uniform opens
the door. We check our coats with
the two girls In the lobby and enter
a room, the walls of which are of
brocaded satin as red as the sun at
it's setting. The windows are of
stained glass, like, those of a church.
and three great electric chandeliers
of cut glass hang from the white pan
:eled ceiling.
From this we go into circular
room. with similar windows. but with
walls OF carved ebony. curtained with
velvet, and a ceiling which Is a dream
of decoration in carving. Both rooms
have many small tables and each has
crowd as we'll dressed as any you
will find in New York. The linen is
Of the finest damask. There Is wine
on each table and the wine glasses
come from Bohemia. The walters
speak English and French as we'll as
German, and everything seems to be
at the pinnacle, OF luxury and good
taste until you look at the schiebers.
Some seem to be at loss in their
dress clothes. Here is one who has
tucked his napkin under his chin and
another has trouble. in keeping the
peas from rolling off his knife :. on
their way to his mouth.
Tho most of the crowd, however.
are MS we'll behaved. IL may except
tho ioud talking, as those in similar
places or the world.
And then the food at these restau-
rants! It would tempt a Lucullus,
and one cannot imagine that Just
over the way people are in rags and
half starved. We pick up a menu and
order dinner for two. We have first
clear turtle soup, then q flsh, with a

'ions, often contrary to law. on the
varying conditions since the Yer
sailles treaty was made, Many OF
these new rich were paupers in 1918
Some had little house industries. run
ming sweat-shops with few ma
chimes in the back rooms of tene-
nent buildings. AS the war de-
mands increased they bought more
machines, and finally had enough
money to establish factories and bid
for big contracts and get them. Some
p nade fortunes on screw or special
pin they had invented, and others
toisted on the people and govern
lnent paper-soled shoes, shoddy cloth
ing and jerry-built houses. Hundreds
anassed wealth by selling goods they
pretended to have. relying on the rise
of prices to resell their contracts.
All they had to do was to keep on
buying and selling, for the prices
continually rose and they were sure
to make money.
One of the contemptuous names for
these new rich is the schieber." The
word comes from "schieben," which
means smuggling. the schiebers be-
ing those who smuggled things in
from Switzerland, Holland. Denmark
and Sweden during the war, trading
in materials that were supposed to
he controlled by the government.
There were many such and they made
a great profit. These men are now
engaged in chain-selling, which is
forbidden by law. They find a cheap
product which can be smuggled into
the country, or cheap goods made in
Germany which are escaping the
taxes. and speculate in them. They
take orders from one another, selling
the goods over and over, adding a
commission, all of which comes out
Of the ultimate consumer. For in
stance, a schieber bought lot of
tent canvas when the army was be-
ing dissolved at 10 cents a aSyard. He
the stock at Is cents a yard and
the latter sold the same stuff at 20
4sents. In the meantime the price OF
canvas went up and the goods passed
from hand to hand until they came
back again to the first schieber. who
paid 80 cents, not knowing he was
buying back the same stuff he had
sold at Is. Most Of such selling Is
without seeing the goods, the trans
actions being on paper. with the idea
that the last buyer will pay.

MANY men have made money by
WI betting on the unearned incre-
meilt, buying cheap real estate a.
selling it as the prices have risen.
iSest of such purchases were made
on a shoestring," as the saying
goes. only a small amount In cash
being paid, with longtime notes for
shs balance. AS the value OF the
mark fell the schieber was able to

that, they were in a filter mood to go

The woman was not in the market
for a title. either with or without

the alluring prospect to some OF her
friends, and thus extracted further
information about the property from

Down And Out
Russia Smiles
At Hard Knocks

Los Angeles. Sept. 17-(By A. PD
Building new American careers
out of the wreckage of prosperity
wiped out in the Russian revolution
is a task enthusiastically undertaken
by former subjects of Car Nicholas,
who have found themselves stranded
in Los Angeles, according to Eliza
beth Beglaroff, Russian secretary of
the International Institute of the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton.
There Is tragedy and pathos. says
Miss Beglarot. in the frequency with
which we'll educated refined and tai
ented Russians of noble birth have
found all occupations closed to them
but those of the mental sort. Some,
however, are more fortunate. For
instance, there is a former mill
tary officer who has found success as
a college instructor in mathematics.
Another. former general in kol-
chak's army. conducts a school for
Russia American children, but a
third former officer of high rank. an
aristocrat of the old regime. is unable
to find even mental work. His wife
packs cosmetics in a local factory.
A former count after serving as
chauffeur for a wealthy family, lately
acquired enough capital to buy
taXicab of his own. Another refugee
of noble lineage works a a lineman
for power company, while a former
military leader under the Romanoffs
earns his living as factory hand.
Despite the heart -aches attached to
such reversals of fortune, Miss Beg
laroff says these refugees frequently
exhibit a cheerfulness that is sur
prising. In the words of a former
statesman under Kerensky, who is
now working here as an electrician,
"All happens for the best in a mans
life"

the entire world will have their eyes
directed to Bangor for the outcome of,
the struggles on the turf.
This race has been sanctioned,
planned and fostered by The Bangor
Fair officials who want to put Bangor

the same time please the many horse
race fans, drivers and owners of this
section of the state and the New
England states as well who have not
had an opportunity or who could not
afford a trip to the northern part of
the state or to the Grand circuit dur
ing the past summer.
These two branches Of horses have
been racing in widely different sec
ticns this summer and this occasion
will be the first that they have ever
all been called together to race under
lone roof" Due to this fact each
will be anxious to show his best and
the drivers will be out for blood and
money.
The track record at Bass Park at
the present time is FOG IA and is
held by John r. Braden of Pressure
