Chairman Butler replied that the
apparent absence from the reports
of mention of the No. apparatus
being without oil or water on Oct.
81 was one point on which TO start.
and he assured the committee that
the fire commissioners will also look
into the failure of one of the

was there and something serious
went wrong with the pumpcr. he

Mechanic Subject to Call
Chairman Butler replied that
when the captains go off duty with
their shift. they are through unless
called on second alarm. which does
rot happen very often. while She
mechanic is subject to call 1T all
times. The commissioners hope 70
work up TO an arrangement whereby

Hope for Friendly
Army Settlement

London, Jan. e6 R1Hope was
held In some quarters today that
there would be an amicable settte-
ment of differences which arose in
the Salvation Army when the high
council ousted General Bramw"ll
Booth from command.
Justice Eve, when hearing was
held on the temporary injunction
obtained by the general to prevent
the election OF his successor. ex-
pressed the hope that matters might
be adjusted without pursuing the
litigation. He added that "ons
cannot but appreciate that its con-
tinuance is calculated to affect pre-
Ijudicially," the Salvation Army.
This mornings newspapers said
that these remarks we're taken to
heart by both parties to the dispute
and led to a peace conference.
The Daily Herald asserted that
General Booth was much better and
might make a dramatic appearance
when the hearing is resumed ON
Tuesday. The paper added that It
was not improbable a settlement
would be announced.
The Daily Mail said belief in \
possible settlement was based upon
the universal esteem and affection
with which every member Of tho
Army regarded General Booth and
upon the offer of concessions which
he made in a letter to the high
council while il WAS in session ut
Sunbury.

1t was untrue that the military
would draft the last son who was
the only support of his mother; one
son was left in every case. he said.
Hari>lnips Behind the Lines
During the war the people at home
suffered great hardship, especially
from lack Of food and from the type
of food offered The people grew
weak and children died from lack Of
nourshmcnt. Conditions which en-
listed among the people at home in
Germany, were undesirable, he
said.
Every person was given a card
upon which was printed the amount
of food allowed each day. People
we're so broken In health from the
effect the food lad upon them that
even at the present time they are
suffering. 1t has been found neccs-
sary to make a law which provides
a penalty for any person who works
over eight hours Il day. The govern
mcnt reasons that longer work
day would have a bad effect on the
nCaitn OF inc nallOn.
At present if a person wants to
build a house and have it completed
within q short time he is not allow
cd to ask the laborers to work over
time. He must have a new staff
employed in double shift fashion.
Considered France Worst Enemy
According to Eugene the German
people regarded France as their
country's worst enemy but when the
armisticc was signed and Germany
was defeated, the people were as
happy as those of the victorious ma
tons for their believed their hard
ships were nearing an end and that
happiness and prosperity would soon
be enjoyed.
Asked how the people Of Germany
regarded Kaiser Wilhelm. he said
some of them continue to like him
while others regard him as an
enemy.
Conditions in Germany are still
very serious due, he said. to eX-
tremely high taxes. Almost every
cent Of money made by the people
has to be turned over to the govern
ment for taxes and the result is that
the population is practically penni-
less.
He has been a barber for IS years,
since he was - years old.

Described in "Talkies".

Germany. its misfortunes, its
hardships, and deprivations during
the World War. and its effort after
the war to establish itself 10 its
former position as a world power.
are described by young barber in
this city who arrived in the United
States on December 81.
Eugene Muchlcisen of - Daley
avenue. a native Of the famous town
OF Heidelberg, Is IS years old now.
During the war he was a boy, but
he remembers the horrors OF the
great conflict as tho German peo-
pie at nome saw it.
He cannot speak English and
when the reporter called at Hor-
diere's Beauty Salon where he is
employed AS barber, an interpre-
ter had to be called. Mrs. Anna
Ruckwater, manager of the beauty
parlor. can speak English and Ger
man flucnt)v and she proved Nalu-
able as the connecting link in the
Interview.
Father EnIists on seventh Attcmid
The youthful barber was MEM
Ter of large German family. there
being Is members. eight boys and
five girls. Despite thc fact that his
father was 81 wears old and that he
had many children, the elder Much
leiscn was filled with the spirit Of
patriotism and on seven occasions
he presented himself for enlistment,
but the military authorities refused
TO take him on his first six attempts.
Realizing that he would never be
satisfied until he wore the uniform
OF his country. the authorities H.
nally consented to allow him to join
and he was in the service for the
remainder of the war. Because of
his advanced age he was not sent
to the front
According to Muehlcisen. military
law during the war commanded all
men to join the army after they
were IS years OF age. Boys OF ~
could join if they wished but they
were not required to do so. His two
older brothers joined when they be-
came II years old within a year OF
each other. None Of the Muehlciscn
family were wounded during the
conflict.
"FOur Sons Exaggerated
In the recent motion picture,
"The Four Sons the greater part
Of the scenes are laid in GERMANY
where q mother and her four sons
are living happily until the war
comes. She loses three by death. In
this picture the German officers
are pictured as cruel and on one
occasion an officer orders the moth
cr's last son into the service and
she is loft in poor circumstances
when all but son in America are
killed
Eugene saw the picture and as he
saw the real and the reel side Of the
story he is able to determine which
is correct. It Is his opinion that the
cruelty of the military was cNagccr-
atcd. Although the law provided
that all boys over IS years should
enter tho service. a notice was sent
10 the home and in a courteous way
the boy was told the time had come
when his country needed him.

Councilman Murphy asked Coun-
Gilman Boyle if he obtained his in
formation about the fire department
| from disgruntled trouble makers,
and the councilman replied. good
naturedly that it was no concern Of
anyone. If my information Is
wrong, hold me for it," lie said.
Councilman BOYLE moved that the
recommendation Of the fire board be
+. rejected. Councilman Bartlett Sec
ended the motion. Councilman Park
err remarked that there seemed to be
! room for Improvement in the depart
ment but this did not appear to be
the way to bring it about. You're
right. There's plenty Of room for
improvement" Councilman Boyle
answered. II think someone was
lame IN not reporting to the COM
missioners the absence of the me-
chanics from the Hanna block fire"
Councilman Parker said. When the
vote on the motion to reject was
! taken. Councilman Warner w3s the
only member to oppose it and it was
carried. The unfavorable report will
go to the council at the next meet
/ ing.
Iitutcnancy OF Detectives
| Chairman NJ. w. Bannan of the
board Of police commissioners rec
commended that the licutenancy of
detectives be created in the interests
Of efficiency in the department and
better service to the city. He explain
cd that the present arrangement
works well but there is room for inn
i provement. He knew of no instance
Of open resentment on the part ot
a sergeant in tn. detective bureau
towards the head of the bureau, but
it is only natural that there should
be all occasional uniercurrent due
! to the fact that all the scrgeants are
of equal rank.
The commissioners propose to have
a lieutenant at the head of the bu-
reau and send one of the two pa
trolmen now on detail in the bureau
back to patrol duty, SO that a SER
geant and one patrolman would
comprise the liquor ur vice duo. At
present, he said. there are two de-
tective sergeants and one other SER
gcant in the bureau, besides two
street serSeants who are on detec-
tive duty three months at a time.
There is part time finger print
man and the two patrolmcn. 1t IS
good business, he said, to have 4
ranking officer in charge. In Hart

Haven. captains are in charge OF the
detective bureaus.
