PAQK TWO MOST GERMANS ARE ! MENTALLY TWISTED,: I, |> Swiss Observer Finds Ninety Per Cent Unbalanced by The War t EFFICIENCY GONE; CONFUSION REIGNS 1 1 . | M Everything Said to Be ?n Dis- , order and No Straight Thinking. : I A Bemo Special U) the New York ; i Times says: A number of Swiss in or- j chants, who for years past have rogu- , larly attended the famous Loipsig , Fair, have boon unable to express i ( their ama/omont at what they ; j saw thoro. It was not that , there was nothing to interest!, them at the fair, but that while they ; were in Gormany they could hardly ! believe that they were not in some \ other country, they did not quite ] know which. The merchants, manu- i facturers and. others at the fair, with < whom they had to deal, seemed to be ] mentally unbalanced. j "Ninety per cent of the people with ! \ whom I had to deal," said one mer-L chant "really did not know what they \ were about. In visiting the various , exhibits in Leipsic 1 would give an j order for .something1. 1 would tell the j j man in charge that I would take say \ oOO gross of a certain number down < myself, and then of course, I expect- J ed him to write it down too. Then I would order something else, and by 1 the time I had finished giving my 1 orders I would ask to compare my 1 notes with his. Then, to icy great > astonishment, I would find he had either not written clown the orders at j1 all, or had written them down a!l|( wrong. | ^ "At first I thought I had merely j( to do with a careless individual, but j2 afterwards I found that nine out of i5 ten persons were in just the same ' state of mental confusion. I then < talked to some of the other Swiss who were visiting the fair and found 1 that they had had similar experienc- J es. Once I lost patience and spoKc 1 very sharply to one man, whereupon < he simply broke down, and said he IJ was sorry, but he had been four j years in the1, trenches, and that he < was no longer capable of doing his! I work as he did it before the war." !' Judging by all that these Swiss!1 merchants observed in Germany, this ! mental weakness and incapacity is 1 affecting not only men who have 1 been a long time in the trenches, but also civilians?women who were at heme and men who. for i>nc rr?;ivir?n 1 oi another, were never at the front. 1 Some Germans known to these merchants before the war as shrewd, energetic, capable business men, now, they say, talk like children .as if they knew nothing whatever of the outside world, or what has been taking j pluce during the last four or five years. rrhus not even now do some of them seem to realize that the value or Gorman paper money abroad has fallen. When told that the German mark is only worth 35 cents in Switzerland today, instead of 1 franc 25 centimes, they asked, "Why?" As if they hail never heard of such things as international exchange or a country's credit being good or bad. The exhibits at tho Lcipsic Fair were fairly numerous, but there was nothing new. The large firms insisted either upon payment being made in francs or unon 170 to 200 nor rent being added to the prices for Germany, owing to the German exchange in Switzerand being so low. So confused were the minds of the , representatives of the smaller firms, however, that they asked 'the same prices from a Swiss merchant as from their German customers. Even in the case of the large firms, how- < ever, the Swiss merchant simply toid , his agent to buy up such and such < <iufantities, pay for them, and export them. < ' These leading German firms have i a combine, and arc supposed to con-'] t'ol prices for export, but as a mat- h tor of fact, so I am assured, they do ' ( nothing of the kind. In short, the \ ( orman merchants seem completely i dazed, bewildered and confused at < present, and do not know what thcyi< arc doing. 11 What particularly struck all these c Swiss merchants, who have known ' Germany for many years past, was < the lack of orderliness everywhere, not merely at the Eeipsic Fair, hut o in the streets?a change for the verse which is commented upon now i by all visitors to Germany. In the halls of the great fair, which before the war used to be neat as the provcubial new pin, disorder, and even dirt, are everywhere. It is scarcely possible to realize the day when at a I former fair an Englishman who threw down some scrap of paper was seriously admonished by the policeman on duty to pick it up, and on his refusal to do so was arrested and fined. This incident the Swiss merchant with whom 1 have been talking particularly remembers, because he ssas one of the witnesses in the case. Now. he says, an airplane flies over the fair throwing down advertisements and handbills everywhere, and no one thinks that this is a disorderly proceeding, still less of doing any thing in the way of tidying up afterward. At the fair any one who look y[ weli dressed, tidy, and healthy was either a Dane, a Dutchman, or a Swiss. The streets leading to the Leipsig hair were this vear lined with wound >d, crippled and blinded soldiers, selling postcards, bootlaces, and all man nor of other trifles, or playing" barre' organs, with their military caps :>n the ground before them for people to throw in anything they could afford. And this in a country where mendicants never used to be toloritcd. Every Swiss merchant who went to Line Leipsig Fair this year was alowed by his government to take with mm twenty-two pounds of provisions. One with whom 1 talked took with lim five pounds of chocolate, knowing what a precious gift it would bo ?o some of his old acquaintances. In visiting one of tlie leading manufacturers he presented three daughters .vith half a pound each. The girls grasped him by the hand, with tears 11 their eyes. "We haven't seen anything like it for years," they said. It will make us well. Apparently the Germans attach u ancy value to chocolate, and this is ii-obably all connecte<l with their ack of mental balance. They expect t to work wonders. One evening this Swiss merchant, A'ith two others, was sitting in one )f tlie best lestaurants in Leipsig, .vhen a lad walked around the tables offering postcards and matches for *ale. He was very sickly looking, ind the Swiss merchant put his hand n his coat pocket, took out a block of diocolate (about half a pound), and handed * it to him. Immediately all the guests in the restaurant got up and surrounded the lad, gazing with amazement at the chocolate. Some jf them asked the Swiss how he man 1 igcd to get it. Even in the restaurant, he said, he people who collected around the j >oy with the chocolate behaved like children. All this points to what is now being more and more clearly recognized?that the war and its con ditions have caused a more or lc s abnormal mental state in the case of many persons. This was particularly noticed by tbo Swiss doctors and others who had to do with interned sol ' [lit-rs in Swtizerland. For instance. Major Edooard Favre, of the Swiss army medical corps, who made a spo- i rial study of the condition of interned men, refers to the lack of power or concentration afflicting many of them, to such an extent that they i often could not sit out a "movie."

There la ' only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness, and that Is by a constitutional remedy. HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining: or the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal oonditlon, hearing may be destroyed forever. Many cases of Deafness are caused by Catarrh, which Is an Inflamed condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

A basket of perfectly fresh eggs left on J the back of the wagon and exposed to the sun during a 10-milc drive to town may reach the country mer- 1 chant in such shape that not even im- ! mediate chilling will make them * available for long shipment to the 1 cities.
