to Wood Netherland. president of

Economic conditions have forced
young men and women, who were
drawn by the glamor of the city
and its high wages, to return to
the farm with a sad story to tell
the home folks. Netherland said.
Elderly persons, who were intent
on spending their last years sur

been shorn of their incomes and
have returned to their former

Berlin.-An exchange of notes
between Germany and France may
follow the return home of a Ger
man soldier believed to have been
killed In the battle Of the Somme
16 years ago.
Oscar Daubmann, whose name is
engraved on a monument In honor
Of the war dead of the village of
Endingen, returned home after an
adventurous escape from a French
prison camp in Africa. He told
German government officials who
cross-examined him, he had been
held there since 1916. A disquisi-
tion, now begun, may result in a
diplomatic controversy between
Berlin and Paris.
A short time ago the French gov
eminent informed the reich all
prisoners of war had been dis
charged. This definitely put an
end to all hopes on the part of
many Germans that their relatives,
reported to have been killed or
missing In France. were still alive
