The land apparently has had a stronger call | than might have been expected in the case of seafaring men. Eight of these | officers became farmers in foreign | lands, and the remainder are in the German Ttepublic. They are said to be happy. | There were 2,800 eommissioned of- | ficers in the German navy when the | war began. Of these 647 were killed and 462 were retained in the navy, which now consists of only a slight | | coast defense. Consequently 1,691 offi- | cers had to seek new vocations. One officer only got a foreign naval job; he became a commander in the Para- guayan navy. Banks and financial institutions gave employment to 98 ex-officers and a similar number went into municipal and state administrative offices. One | |former admiral s now a courier in | the German foreign office. Fifty- seven ex-officers have become mer- chants. One hundred in all have gone abroad, half of them having become | clerks. The professions of most of the others have not been reported. These figures are supplied by an | organization of ex-officers which has sought to find employment for its | members.
