' I Wage-Earning Class Becomes 1 Sullen and Almost Rebellious, Says Consul. jl WANT PEACE AT ANY PRICE I Russian Revolution Finds Echoes In ; Riots in German Industrial Cen. ! ters-*l8tandard of Living { Lowered Fearfully. ' f New York.?Rumors from various 1 sources that the Russian revolution has found echoes In riots in German t industrial centers hud an interesting I sidelight here when A. Curtis ltoth, ; American vice oonsul at IMauen, Sax- i ony, described the awful conditions' existing among the working classes of 1 the central powers. Mr. ltoth has just spent seven years in the Saxon Indus- j trial district, lie said : "Wage-earning Germnuy's nerves ' have been worn raw by the increasing | weight of suffering that the war has brought it. This class of Germans bus ' become sullen, dissatisfied with the government, ulniost rebellious. While the middle class remains intensely patriotic, parading before the casual observer a unified and determined Germany, fatigue of war is making alurming strides among the working people. A great many of these humble i people want peace at any price?ut the price of their colonies, of Alsaee-Lorrnlne, even of their country's prestige and position. "The working people, nt least, in Suvnnv ?w, rr>lw,? have hungered and grieved and overworked for many months, with conditions steadily growing worse ami with each promise of peace fading Into an indefinite prospect of endurance. All foods but the very coarsest ure beyond their means. The ration of these coarse foods is lnsufllcient. The poor have been subsisting throughout the last year upon breud, potatoes, turnips and salt. Second Peasants' War Possible. "Pushed much further by the galling stress of starvation, overwork and loss of dear ones, a second peasants' war may well be added to the miseries of central Europe. "The standard of living among the working people has beeu lowered fearfully. It is now on a par with the , coolie standard of overcrowded Asia. Their work has increased; their share in comforts has diminished, and their amusements have entirely fallen away. i The urban poor have become desperately poor, and they are beginning to realize that each added month of the war means that their plight must be come more and more hopeless. "In the beginning all was wild enthusiasm for the war. The people 9 crowded around the railway stations to see the troop trains hurling past every iio minutes. Then came the f Hoods of wounded, the diflicult reud, just meats made necessary by the absence of the wage earners, aud then the numbing pinch of hunger. Worst I of all was the atmosphere that settled ( down upon the land, an atmosphere of want- of four. of siitTerine of hlnok j depression, which seemed to seep j through and through one and chill the consciousness. > "An eternal New England Sunday gripped the formerly bustling manui factoring towns In my district. The ' streets were bare of tralllc. People ; passed about their errands silently. , There was no laughing, whistling, loud talking or Jovial greeting. The business streets were dotted everywhere by stores closed up by war. (Imss grew between the cobbles In * the roadway. Now and again oxen * dragging primitive carts of farm pro* ilhce lumbered through the streets. Restaurants and cafes were deserted, u It cost money- to frequent them, and, . moreover, they hud nothing to sell. r Sufferers on Every Hand. "It Is hard to describe life under 15 these conditions. The best I can do i- is to say that it was suffocating. s When not going to and fro about their work, the less well-to-do bid their unbappiness in their rooms. As it was, one was forever meeting on the street hollow-cheeked, emaciated, dry-eyed sufferers. I felt as though I bad es" raped from a dark prison when 1 got s hack ro this country and saw happy, healthy, well-fed people again. !- "The strain is beginning to tell. I | h have heard the emperor soundly herated by his famished subjects In the shops that the poor frequent. I have often during the last months of iny stay listened to strangely seditious . talk among the workers, men and women, which grew In violence after 1 the check at Verdun. The working f women have threatened a number of times to get out of hand and rough things. In Saxony, at least, war Is successfully throttling, one by one, nil the people's impulses for llvlug. "The Saxon casualty list has been j very heuvy. The I'lauen regiment has been wiped out six times. All the young, dashing, professional officers who led the first onslaught Irnve been wiped out. The troops ure now officered by men of nil classes, who have made good In the field, and in some cases that#l know of the derivation of the officer testifies to the startling democratizing effects of wnr. The call for more men Is always Insistent. The high school boys go out once a week for drill. IJoy Scmits drill from twelve to sixteen. The lund has been denuded of Its physically fit men. 8axony Hit Hard. "Saxony has borne an overlarge share of the war suffering. It Is primarily a mnnufncturlng country and, so, has suffered most keenly from the effects of food shortuge. At one time last year the Saxons were eating a bread eked out with chopped straw. Then Saxony did an enormous export business. The war swept this business rftvay and closed hundreds of factories. I knew many men In my die ^ggBSr wiped, <mt by war, saw themselves paupers lb 1915. "A revolution, an economic revolution, has already been worked in Saxony, a revolution of destruction whose effects will outlive this generation. The Saxon poor realize this better thun their more fortunate countrymen, and they are bitterly, very bitterly, war-weary."

" I COST MAN'S LIFE I Egyptian Bandsmen Lose MusiO I Sadly Needed in Greeting I U. S. Consul. I OFFICIALS ALL FUSSED UP *4 Suggestion of "Marching Through I Georgia," as Substitute for "Star- I Spangled Banner," Accepted I by American Diplomat. I London.?The pomp nnd ceremony H vtiiiiru Miiiuuuus Lilt? pruseuiuiiuu ui diplomatic credentials to potentates I of Eastern countries by represents- I tlves of the United States, or of any I other country, have developed many I delicate and embarrassing situations. fl The Eastern mliul attaches great lmport once to ceremonials und to make a favorable impression all diplomats must conduct themselves in strict accordance with precedents. A story regarding the arrival of Peter Augustus Jay, United States consul and diplomatic ageqt In Cairo, Egypt, has reached London through Englishmen who have made Jay's acquaintance. '', It seems that the ceremony coincident to the presentation of credentials to the khedive requires a vast amount of preparation. Instead of the diplomat stepping to the street and hailing a hack to convey him to the royal pal- I ace, the khedive sends a procession of i lancers, lackeys, buglers and torchbearers to conduct the stranger to his presence. When the procession reaches the palace gate the imperial band strikes up the national anthem of the country which the visitor represents and he is ushered In to Its martlal strains. AHfl The Music Is Lost. About n week, before the khedive was io receive Consul Jay the master H of ceremonies dashed up to the con- tt sulate and asked to see the new diplo- If mat with every annearance of extreme iX nervousness. It is customary for the | master of ceremonies to open a con- ? I versatlon by inquiring: into the state I of being of the consul and his family, * I with protestations of respect for his progenitors and immediate friends. Itut on tills occasion the nervous mes- ?tr sender not ri?l?t down to usiness. "Your excellency," he said, ' "the loathsome and unspeakably vile dog who is lender of the imperial band has had tiie effrontery but tills very morning to crawl before jne on bis belly and with loud lamentations to tell me that he has mislaid or lost the music of the 'Star-Spangled Banner.' The punishment for his crime will be terrible, but in the meantime if the son of a dog and a thousand dogs cannot find the music for the 'Star-Spangled Banner' would it suit your Excellency if the band plays 'Marching Through Georgia' when your excellency arrives ut the palace gate?" Being a true diplomat, Consul Jay . rose to the occasion. It might also be stated that Jay was born nortli of the Mason and Dixon's line, otherwise complications might have ensued. "It would please me greatly," said Jay, "if the imperial hand should play 'Marching Through GeoCfciu' upon my arrival." "Oh, Say, Can You See." Thereupon the master of ceremonies backed himself out of the room with many assurances of his thankfulness ^ I and protesting between thanks that fD I regardless of whether the dog of a I ft * 111(1 imist'or found tin* tmiuln or not 1 | ho Ami ull of his players would have ^ the skin "removed from their bucks | by public flogging; they would be ( boiled In oil, drawn and quartered. * On the morning of the presentation, I Consul Jay stepped Into un open-faced "punkln" carriage drawn by prancing 1 j chargers. Two Inckuyes stood behind. I . The others walked ahead and behind. 1 The carriage wns preceded by u troop ' , of lancers and buglers. 1 As the carriage entered the postern ( gate Consul Jay was prepared to hear , the air of "Marching Through Georgia," but Instead, there wns a crash of cymbals, and bandsmen, with all the force of their lungs and all the \ spirit they possessed sent Up the good old strains of "Oh, Say, Can You tteef I And Jay passed Into the palace through n lane of dazzling smiles from i bandsmen who had escaped u horrible | death.
