Dr. Stresemann said that Germany, although the second eco nomic power in the world and possess ing the second strongest merchant fleet, had not a single naval support ing point to 'serve for defense in war L'time. ' 1 ' "This war has annihilated our world trade," he is quoted as saying. "We have forfeited our colonies and our cruiser squadron is lost. If, tlieref ore, the war ended without a return to something of' our former situation, the consequence for us as would be the collapse of our na tional economy, because the German merchant, would not again risk seeing all that he had created collapse the after a declaration of war by Eng land. If peace is concluded without Germany possessing the Flemish coast, Englaitd will be the winning and we the ( losing side. A neutral Belgium is' an. historical impossibility after this war." . Dn Stresemann added that while lacing the possibility ! of marching t'luTough Belgium, , the Germans mu fight the next war on -the --Rhine and not in France. He said they looked for German peace, not one under the protection of a world peace allianee. Dr. Stresemann laid emphasis on the increasing importance of subma rines. He saia tneir iuu employment would raise the monthly toll of ton nage from half 'a million to a million tons. This, he said, would; not mean only a strike in England in . her eco nomic nerves but would mean famine for the English people. The speaker was enthusiastically applauded when he exclaimed: "Out with the U-boats!" COL.

Why Colds Lead To fneumonia CIVIL SERVICE BOARD SAYS IT IS BECOMING HARD TO GET EMPLOYES The state civil service commission made public its annual report yester day. . The teit is as follows: The past year , has not been par ticularly interesting from the stand point of new work done by this com mission, or new plans made for ex tending its service to the state. The departments which are under the merit system have called for about the routine amount of replacement of employes but haye presented no novel problems. The increased 'wages recently of fered in private employment have made it much more difficult to secure an adequate supply of public em ployes. This has meant an increas ed body of applicants to choose from. In order not to lower our standards of excellence we, have been obliged in a number of cases to declare posi tions temporarily non-competitive, rather-than have, them vacant until candidates of proven merit could be found. ' We 'believe that real economy would be secured by standardizing salaries for identical positionse and service in the state's pay. Perfo'rm ,'ance of the same duties (or duties so similar that a week's service in either place would familiarize f an emplosre with the differences in detail) secures only about half or two-thirds, of the pay In some departments that it does in others where all the employment conditions are very similar. ; This leads to.;too frequent changes with consequent loss of. efficiency in the underpj-iq. , places and presumable waste in the overpaid places.
