Realize That War Wages
May Drop and Are Sav
ing Their Money.
Kerlin, Oct. 22 The men and the
women now employed at compara
tively high wages throughout Ger
many constitute a problem that al
ready is occupying the attention of
labor leaders in every part of the em
pire. The 'more thoughtful of the
workers realize that the days of big
pay and unlimited work are not going
to last forever, and that with peace
13 going to come a strenuous time' of
possibile hardship, and they are sav
ing their money.- .-v :
The bulk of the workers, however,
are not savers to any ' 'degree,' but
hand-to-mouth livers notwithstanding
their present favorable 1 -circumstances',
circumstances which certainly will
not improve when several hundred
thousand if not several milliop bread
earners now in the army are thrown
back on the labor, market.
Though the more optimistic be
lieve that employers will, take back
their old employes at once, they have
to admit nevertheless that even such
a desirable solution of-the impend
ing problems means the displacement
of many now at work, and that it pre
supposes an almost immediate re
sumption of the old volume of indus
try and trade. .
The biggest problem is that. of the
adult male workers who, with the ad
vent of peace, can easily create an un
precedented non-employment . situa
tion. Other problems are those of
the young men, boys for. the most
part, who in the present hey-day of
much work: at high wages either
have hurried through their appren1
ticeships or have become full-fledged
master workmen at once, and who
naturally- will be- loathe to relinquish
their places even to the heroes of the
Fatherland; and secondly of the
women now filling men's places. The
majority -of the latter will return to
their places in the home, but some
proportion will have lost their hus
bands or supporters, and, if forced
out of their present occupations, will
have to toe taken care of elsewhere.
Ijeaders of responsible, organized
labor organizations have - taken' ad
vantage of increased wages to swell
their treasuries- This has been the
easier to accomplish because , of the
dwindling sums that have had t be
paid' out to the, unemployed. When
peace, does come and the flood be
gins there will be millions on hand,
but still not enough; in the estimation
of the leaders, to take care of matters.
The government has been brought
to realize the seriousness of the .im
pending situation, according to Alwin
Koersten of the Trades Employment
Bureau in Berlin, and does not look
unfavorably - on' a proposition to : re
tain in service but, 'on furlough for
from eight to 12 weeks all such sol
diers as in the ordinary course of
events would be mustered out imme
diately at the conclusion of hostilities.
Those behind the movement to
have this arrangement made feel BDre
that the economic situation created
by the release of many hundreds of
thousands of men . a .once; cannot' be
handled otherwise, but do hope that
matters will adjust themselves with
fn three "months, just as they: adjusted
themselves in one month in. Berlin
with a- lesser horde of work-seekers
at the beginning of the war. -
Berlin and the other large cities
of Germany are bound to suffer most
from an excess of workers, it: is felt.
7o matter how often nor how many
the warnings, there are going to be
uncounted thousands who will feel
convinced that opportunity for em
ployment lies in the big-rather than
in the little place, . and who are going
to swarm into it accordingly. ,
Mr. Koersten again is authority for
the statement that the government is
prepared to ease the situation by the
use of sums running, if necessary, into
the hundreds of millions of marks for
the support of the unemployed. If
these sums have to be drawn upon-,
he believes, it will be the equivalent
of an extended furlough on pay and
will be the solution of the whole mat-
lot of the uninjured workman-soldier
when the war is over, the cripples
must not be herded together, indus
trially nor in any other way but must
be looked upon as uninjured men,
must mingle with such men and work
with them above all, must be given
the first opportunities for work with
their ."whole brothers."

! , Surveying the whole Germarr-field
of labor, Dr. 0. Becker of the Asso
ciation of German Employment Agen
cies, hesitates, to venture -a forecast
until the outcome . of the war is
clearer than at present. He feels
that the7 whole immediate future of
the German workingman depends on
what the ultimate, terms of peace
may.be that -it is. lay no means daark
if Germany wins, but that a tremen
dously difficult problem is ahead if
Germany should lose . and be hem
med In more completely than it is
now.
The German injured, lightly or ser
iously, in the - interest of his f ather
land, bids fair always to. enjoy a pre
ference in the matter of work and yet
Germany today so far as labor is con
cerned, is in the anomalous position
of "not having cripples." The' reason
today, is two-fold. Whether, this will
be true in a year's time or in two
years no one will predict.
At present the crippled soldier has
not yet learned a. trade . sufficiently to
be able to 011 the place that is open
to him. Also he is, thus far, all too
intent upon finding a-"job" as petty
official, doorkeeper at some govern
ment building, or "something similar,
to heed the calls for his services in a
trade that formerly he thought, suf
ficiently dignified but which now he is
inclined to scorn.
As a result there are only between
30 and 40 applicants for every 250
positions that are on the market for
crippled soldier, and the proportion
seems to get no better as the months
go by. Needless to say, there are
never going to be enough "official"
positions to go round but whether
the wounded will revise their ideas of
what is desirable only time will tell.
All differences of opinion .about
how to handle the problem of sol
diers returning to civilian trades are
merged when the subject of pensions
comes under discussion. . Everything
thus far indicates that tlie universal
desideratum will be obtained through
the very co-operation of the pension
ers themselves.
The central idea is that the pen
sions must not be of a size to en
courage idleness, must not be large
enough so that the pensioners will
have no need to work, but that, on
the contrary, they must vary in size
according to the earning capacity of
each pensioner, that they must in ef
fect be nothing more than a com
plement to each man's wages, a sort
of bonus representing the difference
between his pay and that of his unin
jured competitor so that he can be on
equal terms with the latter.
The whole nation is. united in the
thoutrht that, whatever may be the
The first descent from a balloon in
a parachute was made 118 years ago
today, Oct. 22,-1797, by Jacques Gar
nering a' French aeronaut The- in
vention of the parachute was due to
the experiments of Sebastien ' Lenor
mand, a famous French - scientist,
some 14 years before Garaerin . at
tempted to use the contrivance to
descend from a' balloon. Lenormand
used two large umbrellas for the pur
pose and contented himself with
jumping from the tops xtt small build
ipgs. Garnerin's ! parachute looked
like an immense -umbrella,' and was
suspended below the balloon. The
gas bag ascended until is seemed but
a mere speck to the thousands of
breathless spectators on terra flrma
before Garnerin began his descent. A
groan of terror went up when at last
the brave aeronaut w.as seen descend
ing, for . he . shot downward like a
bullet for some time, before the par- j
achute finally .opened. There was
scarcely a breath of air, and the bal
loon had not drifted, so that Garnerin
landed , only a , short : distance from
where he had started. He was none
the worse for the exploit, and for
weeks he was the hero of Paris. Since
then the parachute has become the
main attraction at rural fairs, al
though its supremacy is now disputed
by the aviators.

world's series of 1912. He remained
with the red-hosed bunch until about
a. vear ago. when he was released to
vthe Providence club of the Interna
tional League; owing to the poor form;
he had displayed . in the 1914 race.;
Hugh didn't like the Idea . of going
back j to the minors, , and immediately
flew the O. B. coop and signed a two
year , contract with yie Buffalo Feds.
Before that he had had- a chance to
go -to Cleveland on a trade, but the
Ohio metropolis didn't look- good to
himv While Hugh hasn't been a star
in the independent circuit, he has dis
played quite a bit of class with Harry

"Pape's Diapensin" ends all
stomach distress in five
k minutes.
"Wonder what upset your stomach
which portion of the food did the
damage -do you ? "Well, don't bother.
If your, stomach is in a revolt; if sour,
gassy and upset, and what you just
ate has fermented into stubborn
lumps; head dizzy and aches; belch
gases and acids and eructate undi
gested food; breath foul, tongue coat
ed just take a little Pape's Diapep
sin and in five minutes you wonder
what became of the indigestion and
distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it. is needless to "have a bad
stomach. . A little Diapepsin occa
sionally keeps this delicate organ reg
ulated and they eat their favorite
foods without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
of your liberal limit ' without rebel
lion; if your food is a damage instead
of a help, remember the quickest,
surest, most harmless relief is Pape's
Diapepsin which costs only fifty cents
for a large case at drug stores: It's
truly wonderful it digests food and
sets things straight, so gently and
easily that it is really astonishing.
Please, for your sake, don't go on and
on with a weak, disordered stomach;
it's so unnecessary. 1 .
