RELIEF SUPPLIES ARE
RECEIVED AT WARSAW
I -
V* aRSAW. — Relief supplies for
Poland, valued in New York citv
at $8,500,000, have beer, received
lately from the United States by
the American Red Cross here. In
the shipment are 17,000 cases and
bales, containing clothing, shoes,
blankets, food, drugs, medicines,
hospital supplies, and surgical in
struments. In Poland these sup
plies would cost many times the
amount stated.
In addition, the tenth special Red
Cross train of 25 cars, containing
relief supplies from Paris, has also
arrived in Warsaw, and is being
unloaded at the Red Cross ware
houses. for distribution to all parts
of the country that are in the great
est need.

THEATERS BAN APPLAUDERS
AT REQUEST OF WORKERS
PARIS.—Theatrical managers and
actors of this city are agreed that
| hired applauders must go. The
; “claque," as the French call it, is
| as old an institution as the French
| theater itself. It flourished in the
jdays of Francois Villon and from
generation to generation until the
'present time.
The Federation of Theater Work
| ers has demanded its elimination
land calls it anti-democratic. Equali
ity in success and in failure they
claim should rule.
Thus the six seats in the rear of
the orchestra circle, and the ten
or more seats in the first balcony,
where strong-arm men were wont
to rent the air with their air-splii
ing and nerve-wrecking applause,
will be silent. Nearby spectators
will not complain.
MANY TRAVELERS
SEEK BOOKINGS BY
AIRPLANE ROUTES
LONDON. — That passengers are
eageriy awaiting the establishment
of airplane routes to distant points
in the British Empire is shown by
the requests for tickets received by
a company which operates an air
plane line from Folkstone to Paris.
On the day the service opened, the
office of the company was besieged
by inquirers seeking bookings for
all parts of the world. One wanted
to make a trip to Venice, and an
other demanded a ticket to Cairo.

YANKEE OFFICER
I PUTS SUDDEN END
| 10 HUN REVOLT
! WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY.—Single-handed, an
American intelligence officer recent
ly put down a “revolutionary”
movement in the area on the Rhine
occupied by United States troops.
The first the Americans knew of
the “revolt” was when news reached
army headquarters that in Luetz, a
village of 200 population, a red flag
had been hoisted and was waving in
the breeze at the top of a 70-foot
pole. When the American officer
arrived in Luetz the “revolution,”
conceived by a society calling itself
“Frohsinn” (Hilarity), and composed
of young men most of whom were
discharged German soldiers, was well
under way and none of the inhab
itants could enter or leave the vil
lage without proper passport pro
vided by the society members.
' Luetz, like many German villages
in the hills, has no troops in the
town, the army depending upon an
occasional patrol to keep in touch
with events.
The American summoned the
chief official of the town, who in
j formed the officer that this was the
third attempt of the “Frohsinnists”
to rule the village, and that the
.action was directed against the Cath
jolic priest, for whom the young
men had a pronounced dislike,
i The American officer summoned
:the executive council of the society,
provided them with pick and shovel
and had them dig up the flagpole,
amid the applause of the conserva
tive element of the village. He in
structed the burgomaster to with
hold until further notice any au
thorization for meetings of the “Hi
larity,” gave the executive council a
dressing down, and instructed the
one German policeman to patrol
Luetz at all hours on Sunday, when
most political meetings are held.
Each member of the executive
council promised to be good here
after and none of the society mem
bers were arrested. They agreed
that the American had convinced
them that “revolution” did not pay.
The revolution had lasted six hours.

BERLIN'.—The “workless support”
bonus that thousands upon thou*
sands of men and women now are
drawing in Berlin and Germany is
proving a heavy drain on the trea
sury—and it is charged tha; (he
bonus is so high that many men
v.-ho in peace times were unskilled
workmen now receive more pay for
idleness than :f they wen* back to
their labor.
Eegun under the stress of the
revo’ution and with the intention
of temporarily alleviating distress,
complaint is made that chis bor.us
system has become a deep’y-imbed
ded cancer that sucks millions from
the government that can ill afford
it.
The number of persons idle in
Berlin during September was nearly
a million. It is estimated that 730.
000 of them do not want work be
cause they are being supported by
the state and are free to carry on
the illegitimate pursuits of the un
licensed street dealer, the fly-by
night gambler, the soap and cigar
ette vender.
The streets and squares of Berlin
where people congregate most are.
despite occasional attempts of the
police .swarming hives of humanity,
selling or buying poor soap, wretch
ed matches, immoral postcards and
indecent literature, and cigarettes
that are sold at ridiculous prices,
especially in the case of American
cigarettes which now glut the mar
ket Recently the police have begun
to raid these venders.
The first "razzia," as such raids
are called, was unexpected, and so
many dealers were captured that
they had to be sent to collection
points and then were transferred
from there to the various police
stations. The confiscated food and
goods required auto trucks for their
transportation.
Roulette and- little gambling
games played on a tiny board that
can be hastily concealed as the
crowd scatters on the approach of
the police, still attract more work
less than other strata of the popu
lation—-because the workless have
time to kill, and money to spend,
and likewise the strong inclination
to spend.
One of the most unpleasant fea
tures of Berlin street life is the
array of wounded soldiers, suffering
from broken or missing legs and
arms, shell shock or alleged shell
shock, who sit forlornly on the
principal streets and manipulate a
violin or a harmonica. With hands
ar.d features that tremble, these
relies of the war beg from morning
until long after midnight. Their
“music'' is always harrowing.
A one-legged man with the face
of a criminal, dirty to the last
degree, with a rough, unkempt
beard, seems to have no difficulty
with the police, as he hobbles up
and down Unter den Linden, posi
tively insulting passersby, especially
women. He fastens on them, often
holds them by the arms, and de
mands, not begs. aim*. Countless
policemen pass up and down, but
the man is always there.
The police no sooner put down
one gambling club or street gam
bler than the passion breaks out
shewhere. Thus recently, in lieu
of some cheap clubs, a round table
is widely used as a racetrack for
six tiny automobiles.

The letter of a business man of
Berlin, telling of his experience
when trying to get some repairs
done on his house, is commented on
;here as typical of the spirit of
dislike of work that prevails in Ger
many since the revolution. He
writes:
“I intended to have my house re
paired. and therefore sought a
workman who before the war had
done little things for me. I did
not find him at his house. Only hi-=
seven-year-old boy was there.
“ ‘Where is your father?' I asked
“ ‘He is selling cigarettes on the
Potsdammer Platz,' the youngster
replied.
“ ‘And your mother?'
“‘She is selling soap at the An
halter raiiroad station.
“ ‘Well, is no one else here?’
“ ‘No; my big brother has gone,
to collect the workless support for
father."
