armies will attack Poland il that coun'

message says that the Poles are about
to take an active part in the German

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE cost of living
in Berlin has risen more than 100 per
cent since last Thursday when the
French started to occupy the Ruhr val
ley and the mark has skidded from 1000
to 16,5OO to the dollar. The result is
that the disconteAt among the labOriny
people is growing and general strike
is imminent. Both the Norwaerts. the
Social Democratic organ, and the Rnte
Fahne, the Communist newspaper, de-
clare that the working men cannot pos
sibly live Under present conditions
In the beginning of the month, these
newspapers say, wages were 33 per cent
below the cost of living. The only so
luton of the present problem, they add,
is the establishment of labor govern
ment which will not only be able TO
negotiate with the French and force
will cut the cost Of living 10 a basis
acceptable to 81 per cent of Germany S

A dry goods merchant was start

duty during the day. "Now, my
dear, be sure and send to the city for
that new radio outfit, so we can have
it for Sunday. You know our old
victrola is getting so that it is not fit
to be heard"
Just a few blocks away the
merchant who handles victrolas and
furniture was sitting at breakfast
with his family. The conversation
drifted around to the near approach

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

All true progress whether in
dividual or national comes from
work This is the inevitable con-
clusion one reaches after a visit to
the countries of the Near East and
Southern Europe.
In these various lands one, of
course, observes various religions,
customs occupations and view
points of life. But no matter what
these conditions may be, the main
course of progress rests solely on
work.
Perhaps the most striking example
Of this fact is found in Egypt which
today holds so much of interest for
the people of the world. Generally
speaking the people of this country
do little or no work. They are the
last word in thriftlessness. They
are not interested in education or
apparently in anything else that will
improve their condition. They
have little to wear. They sleep when
they like and they eat when they
like, their diet consisting mainly of
sugar cane. Yet these people can
be made mentally vigorous and alert
if the proper examples and teachings
are given them by their leaders
Wherever there is distraction from
intelligent and systematic work the
inevitable result is stagnation. In
some of these countries, for
example, the distraction is milit-
arism, and, while the training and
development of national armies is
necessary, too much militarism
makes for a life Of idleness and
creates ideals that are not founded
on thrift and industry.
One cannot travel through France
without being impressed with the
thrift of the people, especially the
peasant classes. 1t is evident on
every hand Even along the road
ways one sees women gathering
wood in vineyards. Small boughs
of trees, sticks and dead bushes are
Of too much value to be wasted, in
the estimation of these industrious
French people.
What, Of course, is most urgently
needed in the Near East is political
sterilization The hatreds that
exist between some of these people,
the cost of military upkeep and the
uncertainty of the future are COM
bining to retard these countries. But
the elimination Of the war menace
is not only requirement for the
success of a people.
No man ever achieve real success
excepting through work.
No matter what mans circum-
stances in life may be, his progress
stops when he ceases to be a worker.
And the same rule holds true with
nations.
