BX-OFFICERS OF GERMAN ARMY RE UP Now Condescended To Be- come Mere Medical Men FEW LEFT THEIR COUNTRY Berlin, June 9.—Fighting for a post- war exjstence in civilian life has proved more harrassing than the for- tunes of the battlefield to many of the thousands of German offifers who survived the war. -They numbered some 300,000 at the time of the arm- istice. While the majority held only war-time commissions there were a large number of Veterans for whom the lifting smoke of the conflict re- vealed that they had sudtenly been uprooted from their chosen careers and were forced to. begin afresh in new fields. It was especially difficult for the aged officers, who were no longer vigorous and adaptable enough to battle effectively in an economic maelstrom already burdened with keen competition. The German army and navy in peace times included an active of- ficers’ corps of 55,760, of whon{ 60,960: were in ‘the military forces. When the war broke out, this list was aug- mented by 270,000 of those who were retired or, on ,reserve, ., In addition there was the commissioned staff of the medical “branches” numbering 33,- 406,.--The" total loss “in the corps amounted to about 55,000 killed and 96,213 wounded. F i Some Waiters, Porters, » Since the Treaty of Versailles per- {mitted the retention of but 4,000 offi- era in the Reichswehr, a vast major-| of the war survivors became fac- prs Yor absorption in civilian pur- ts. "Today they are to be found in arly every walk, of life, some hav- ing even resorted to the. positions of waiter and porter in order to gain a} livelihood. ‘Some were connected with trade, labor, or industry through family ties and thus found situations comparatively easily. Others return- ‘ed to official positions, and a part en- listed in the newly-organized Security | Police. A considerable section of the ex- officers turned to unversity callings; particularly could they pe.seen at ju- dicial and medical lectures and in polytechnic schools. In the. first period of transition, some worked in subordinate executive positions as as- sistahts and some at manual Jabor, even as miners, “There 'are none of the larger bank- ing and industrial concerns today in which former officers are not active. In some banks one runs across an oc- casional general. Former staff offi- cers were in position to receive tempting industrial offers because of their unusual preparation and their knowledgg of languages. Already be- fore'the war, officers were in demand in’ the insurance field as inspectors and agents, and this number has been noticeably increased. ‘rne autonio- bile industry, too, has attracted many. | Detective agencies and’ warehouses have employed them in divers capaci- tles, In short, the huge ‘network ‘of Germany’s ‘trade, commerce and jn- dustry is fairly dotted with these for- mer heads of companies, battalions, and other units in the old and war- time armies. They are in the mines, metal works, machine factories, elec- tric plants technical offices, ‘quarries, and export houses; some’ have drifted to the film industry. The former surgeon-majors in the army have condescended ‘to be mere medical men or have necome ‘special- ists in their profession. “Many went into the ‘chemical industry or took’ pla- ces*in hospitals. Officers blinded in the war were mostly Instructed at the school for blind at Marburg where they ‘studied political economy and aimultaneously learned .’ typewriting and stenograhpy. 3 FAA Some Died Miserably ‘Certain of the\officers who, at the dose ‘of the‘ war,! resblved to’ begin fe anew as settlers in some foreign \d, are reported to have iad really unhappy experiences. Some died mis- @rably after sore prévation; wile same few others succeeded in gétting Hack to the Fatherland. Only @ small minority made real progress ‘abroad. Very few. left the country, however, it ie sald, 'and the charge that’ German qglofticers since the war have joined foreiya‘armiev-ind regarded here-as--unfoundedy—-------~- The marked transformation in mode of living variously affected the family life of ex-officers, not all of whom can maintain their former social sta- tus. For example, there is the case of the well-known First; Lieutenant Berg, who in the world war was the commander of ‘the “Appam,” taken, ag a prize ship by the “Moewe.” He obtained a situation in Hamburg leav- ing his wife and children in the Dan- ish town of Apenrade, formerly Ger- man. With his slender income Berg was unable to meet the cost of his family’s upkeep, which became. in- creasingly high due to the Danish standards of valuation. He finally killed “himself when tue ;family had been reduced to want. Sane One Buys Taxicab Individual jnstances’ of resourceful- ness were of everyday occurrence. One lieutenant used his last resources to buy a taxicab which he and his rmer orderly drove alternately. fe the taxi belongs to the orderly and the lieutenant can devote to study. the humble receipts of his enterprise. Three U-boat officers combined and} bought a small sailing cutter, which they ply as a freighter between Ger- man and Scandinavian ports. themselves comprise the crew, load- jng and discharging all cargoes per- sonally.

The banks have increased their‘ loans $1,612,363.10 in that time. The de- posits subject to check decreased one million dollars in that time, with an- other half million decrease in the sav- ings deposits and a loss of. $60,000.00 in the demand certificates deposits. Some of these losses are offset how- ever by an increase of over a million and a half in the time certificates of deposit, leaving the total decrease in deposits at $643,748.19. The total de- posits of the banks on May 5th were $87,477,998.77 while the totals for March 10th were $88,121,746.96. The difference in the holdings of the banks is shown in a decrease of almost $400,000 in warrants, stocks, bonds, ete, and a decrease of about $300,000 in the holdings of govern- ‘ment issues. The total holdings of the bank on May 5th with the increases or de- creases from March 10, 1922 follow: Total Holdings Increase or De- May 5, 19: crease from Mch. 10 $1 7.59 $1,612,363.10 IT 36,474.31 T 368,266.51 D 306,2: D Z I 37 D 5 D 8,309.01 D’ 2,101.99 1 + $128,271,762.35 $ 326,237.12 I $11,321,500.00 $ 35,000.00 T 4,089,538.23 14,188.23 1 64,449.02 D 274,944.43) 54,92 D 8 D $128,271,762.35, $ 326.2 so the amount of decrease is the amount of the March undivided sur- 12 1 us.

DAVID LUND TELLS HOW Stockholm, June 9,—Sweden has eliminated one of the worst curses which the world war brought to neu- trals and belligerents alike, the alarm- ing increase in juvenile delinquency. Not a country. in Europe escaped the ‘epidemic: which continued to in- fect the youth after armed hostilities had ceased. Sweden took immediate steps to check the spread of youthful criminality ‘which -threatened to un- dermine the ‘country’s social struc- ture. Fortunately, the country was prepared, ‘having many years before the war established excellent institu- tions for the training of children that showed criminal™ tendencies. Dr. David Lund, head of the social department of the Swedish Prison Board, and recognized as one of the foremost European authorities on criminality among youth, has now announced that the country has re- turned to normal in respect to juvenile crime. ta ces Dr. Lund attributed Sweden’s suc- cess in combatting this: evil to the excellent care: taken of affected youngsters in special educational in- stitutions whose: inmates are given an exceptional opportunity of leading natural, healthy and active lives un- der the most:wholesome influences and where they are given an oppor- tunity to acquire‘ not only some book learning but»to master the ~ funda- mentals of useful occupations. Of these schools, that of Hall, located near Stockholm, is the best known and probably the most successful, Here farming, gardening, stock rais- ing and various’ handicrafts are taught and-here large numbers of youngsters, seemingly predestined to criminal careers and prison life, have been redeemed with such success that during the past 19 years, only 10 percent of the youth discharged from the institution’ have later been ar- rested: and convicted of offenses against the law. Hall originally was privately endowed. It. takes boys be- tween the age of ten and 15. The report, ofSweden’s reformatory system shows that 75 percent of the youths discharged therefrom ‘have proved to entirely cured of their criminal tendencies, haying. turned in- | to law-abiding’ citizens of ' regular| -habits. But Dr. Lund states that this percentage can be increased. He de-| clares that'‘he has found. that only three percent of} the morally defect- ive youth coming under; his observa- tion is irred mable. 25 YEARS OF) SERVICE WILL BE RECOGNIZED = rt. € ‘Programs ‘Which have ‘been issued for the convention of the’ North’ Da- kota Firemen’' Association which will be held jm Casselton, June 13, 14 and 15 “‘hote’ the convention as the “Thirty-eighth - Annual _ and Reade Silver Anniversary.” The convention’ will mark the 25th year of service’ of Henry L.

RANKS OF CIVIL WAR VETERANS ARE THINNING Expected That Less Than 30,000 Will Take Part In Parade Next September ~N = DES MOINES IS THE PLACE June Des Moines, Ia., 9,—Less than 30,000 strong, a depleted, gray- haired army of Civil War veterans will make what is believed to be one of its last marches, in parade Sep- tember 27 at Des Moines, Ia. The Fife and Drum Corps of every G. A. R. post in the United States will be brought to Des Moines for the 1922 national encampment Sep- tember 24 to 28, and will march in a grand parade of G. A. R.

The corps will all be lodged in the same hotel. During the five days of encampment they will play at mass meetings and| on street corners to keep the city and its thousands of visitors in the spirit of the early ’60’s. Including ladies’ auxiliaries and other organizations who will hold na- tional conventions in connection with the encampment, combined attend- ance of more than 50,000 was esti- mated today by George E. Hamilton, secretary of the Des Moines Conven- tion Bureau and chairman of the Housing Committee. . - Local committees are at work on plans for decoration of the city and entertainment of visitors.

RANCH Calgary, Alta., June 9,—Four thor- oughbred race stallions and five mares have been shipped from Eng- land by the Prince of Wales to his ranch near High River, .Alta., which he purchased when he visited Can- ada in 1919.
