GERMANS AT WORK.
German industries generally hav<
been doing the greatest busines:
lately in more than five years, ac
cording to German newspaper ac
counts. Foreign orders have beer
coming in for months, various in
dustrial centers have reported
.Many factories are said to have or
hand more orders than they will be
able to fill in six months or more
On all sides employes are demand
ing increased wages, and many la
bor difficulties have arisen, with in
dications of unrest among the Ger
man workmen for at least some
months.
No extensive sales of German
goods to foreign buyers are record
ed in the German newspapers, but
American army officers who keep
account of the industrial and eco
nomic situation assert that it is an
established fact that foreign buyers
are taking advantage of the low
value of the mark to purchase Ger
man products wherever possible. In
Coblenz, Belgian buyers recently
have been purchasing chinaware.
kitchen utensils, aluminum ware,
furs, and other articles of general
UPC.
The situation has reached sucli
proportions that the ministries of
economics and finance have been
discussing the advisability of estab
lishing a duty on exports on the
ground that “a large part of the
German exports is being sold at
sacrificial prices.”
The Cologne Chamber of Com
merce, in calling attention to the
large purchases of goods by for
eigners, says that, in view of the
iow value of the mark, these for
eign purchases constitute nothing
more than a "commercial plunder
ing of Germany.” The chamber, as
well as others in Frankfort and
elsewhere, ha? advised German mer
chant?, when selling to foreign buy
ers, to charge prices somewhat in
proportion to the actual value of
the goods in the markets of the
world.
SERBIA AND THE WAR.
Allan M. Gale, of the Serbian
Relief committee, commenting on a
recent dispatch from Belgrade, stat
ing that Serbia was on her feet
again, having recovered from the
immediate effects of the war, said
recently to a representative of The
Associated Press:
“The Serbian Relief Committee
of America and all who are giving
their lives and strength to the work,
know that great as the results ac
complished appear in the aggregate,
they are, in comparison to the need,
pitifully small. Much is made of
the fact that this year's harvest
gives the new kingdom a surplus in
cereals above its needs, that the
food situation is under control, and
that actual starvation no longer
menaces the people. But these facts
have been long known by the re
lief agencies and all interested in
Serbia, and have been very widely
published by them. And it should
be equally well known that the har
vest includes the crops of Bosuia
and Herzegovina, which, as Austrian
territory during the war, suffered
very little real damage.
• ‘‘There will perhaps be no genu*
1 ine starvation in Serbia through the
winter, though the food supply,
neither in quality nor quantity, is j
suitable or sufficient for the restore- !
tion of health and strength of \
young children. One slight indica
tion of this is to be seen in the i
recent shipment by Mr. Hoover’s
administration of relief of four
large cargoes of powdered milk for
use in Central and Southeastern '
Europe, including Serbia.
“In Jugo-Slavia there are 500,000 \
fatherless children, of whom 150,- |
000 are absolutely destitute. Among;
the tuberculosis, eye and skin dis- i
eases are rife. Of these children, j
up to July, less than 2,000 had been j
provided for, largely because of the ,
tremendous difficulties attending the
work in an utterly disorganized com-!
munity. The government at Bel- i
grade and the great American and i
English relief organizations are now j
working in thorough harmony in ;
their efforts to carry these children
| safely through the winter. They i
jean succeed only if there is no ,
i slackening of effort on the part of j
; the American and British publics.”
I
BUCHAREST. — The Rumanian
; government is preoccupied with the
jtask of extending its a<lministrative
i functions to the territory the king
dom will acquire under the peace
•treaty. With Transylvania, Buko
jvina and a part of Bessarabia and
■ the Banat added to its domains, the
; country will be called upon to meet
iwith many difficult problems of or
ganization and control of a country
land people grown suddenly treble
in area and numbers. It is regard
ed here as not improbable that the
next Rumanian cabinet will have
; in it a number of representatives
from Transylvania. Indeed, some
see indications that the next prime
minister will be M. Maniu, now
president of the executive council
of Transylvania.
Queen Marie has often expressed
a wish that it might be possible to
have a few able Americans and Eng
lishmen come to Rumania to act as
.financial and executive advisers to
! i
the government. “If we could in
duce some of your smart Americans
to come here and act in advisory
capacity to us,” she said recently to |
a visiting American railroad man,
“I think it would be a splendid
.thing. They could give us the ben
efit of their exceptional training and ]
experience and save us from a lot ;
of mistakes.” ,

1 LONDON.—There is a woman in
!
London around whose story the min
jstrels of old would have woven
many a ballad, says the Daily News.
She is the Lady Surma di Bith
Mar Shimun, sister of the ruling
j patriarch of the Assyrians, the pres
! ent-day remnant of the once pow
erful nomadic tribes which inhab
ited Mesopotamia before the incur
sions of the Arabs. The country
whence she comes has been identi
fied by some with the Garden of
Eden.
Traveling by steamer, by train,
and on horseback, she has come
altogether some 8,000 miles from a
town 500 miles beyond Bagdad to
plead, as the agent of her people,
for the restoration of lands lost by
them when they took arms in behalf
of the Allies against the Turks am!
Kurds.
Driven farther and farther into
their mountain fastnesses by repeat
ed invasions and massacres, the sur
viving 22,000 of her people have
been gathered together at Bakuba,
where they are living under the
protection of the British civil and
military authorities.
"I came to England much against
my will,” said the Lady Surma, who
speaks English perfectly. "I have j
never been to Europe before. But
there was no one else to come. My
brother, the late ruling patriarch,
was killed by Kurd treachery; my
younger brother, who succeeds him,
is ill and another brother is serving,
rhe people would trust nobody else.
“It may seem strange to you that
i woman should be chosen for such \
i difficult task, but it has been the
:radition of our nation that the sis
:er of the heir should take the vow
jf celibacy and act as her brother’s
lelper during his reign.”
The territory for which she is
oleading with the British govern
ment is the oldest known to histori
es. It lies south of the Caucasus
ind north of the Euphra’es and is
the scene of many incidents in the
31d Testament story. The life of!
the people who have been Christians |
■ince the days of the earliest teach- j
;rs, has been one long story of per
secution, culminating in their flight
jver the mountains in 1917-18.
"Our villages have been razed |
behind us,” said the Lady Surma. |
‘all our flocks have been driven j
4 way, our money stolen and ex
lausted, our books and documents
jurned. We are a people without
i country.”
2UBANS TAKE STEPS
TO KEEP RATS OUT
MAVAXA.—The Cuban sanitation
mthorities have undertaken a vig
>rough campaign against the rat ;
lest to prevent the bubonic plague 1
"rom entering Cuba. Thousands of I
raps have been set and every pre
aution is being taken.
Ships coming from ports under
;uspicion will not be permitted to
inload at the wharves, but must
lischarge their cargoes by means
>f lighters or launches while an
:hored in the harbor, thereby lessen -
ng the possibility of plague-earry
ng rats reaching shore.
