It has been Interesting to me to observe the reaction upon the minds of American business men of n visit to Germany. These men hnvo come bere in considerable numbers during the Inst four or five months. Not a few of them had previous knowl edge of German business conditions; hence there was n rather pronounced optimism among them as to Germany's economic future. They knew, some of them, the Ger many tnat existed Deiore me vai. Thoytnew or had heard of the Ger man capacity for hard and intelligent work, for applying science to business and production and for organizing manufacturing and trading Interests effectively. Americans of this kind fancied that they would find the same Germany of ante-bellum times. So they came with cheerful spirits as to their own business prospects; they felt sure they would be able to sell goods In large quantities here. All Disappointed. One of these Americans called to see me yesterday. I had met nun some three months ago, soon after his arrival. Since then he has been most ly at Hamburg. There Is where the import trade of Germany before the war was chiefly centered, and he thought, after his disappointment here, that his best chances would be among the big Importing houses there. But he came back here again, disappointed. The general trend of his report was that It is practically Impossible to do business here with American goods owing to the vast depreciation of the German currency. The dollar is now worth about 45 marks, which give the latter less than one-tenth of Its normal value. Add to this the further fact that all American goods are now very high In America itself, besides high freight and insurance rates, and it may be safely asserted that the Ger man must pay about fifteen-fold the pre-war prices for many American things. But high prices and the difficulties of doing business were not the only things that disappointed the American travelers. Some of them came not to do business at all, but to look into the general financial and business condi tions on which all business must de? pend. They came, in other words, to talk with bankers and manufacturers and get their point of view, to look with their eyes Into the business situa tion and prospects. And It was precisely this class of investigators that took the most cheer less view of Germany's plight. The situatlon'was regarded by them as far worse than they had expected and as offering but slight prospects for any early improvement of a substantial character. What impressed (hem most was pre cisely the depreciation of the currency already mentioned, together with the fact that nobody could give any au thentic grounds for expecting an im provement in It. Not only the depre ciation of the mark, but also its violent fluctuations In value, seemed to them to exclude all hope for Germany to get substantial financial ossistaneo from abroad, for neither lender nor borrower could undertake the risk in volved. Pessimism Everywhere. This situation made a deen ctnn urAxT, c..aV l . uun outu Aiuuricuns as wprp nme to comprehend its significance. Moreover, there was a general atmos phere of pessimism here that strongly influenced their minds pessimism ns to business and politics, pessimism as to taxation schemes and socialization programs, pessimism as to the labor outcome of peace negotiations. Alto gether, therefore, the conclusion was reached that Germany Is in a far worse position than is believed by Americans at home. The German outlook as the new year opens for business, discloses but few factors that make for confidence. One good factor, however, appears on the surface; namely, what seems to be a more reasonable attitude of the labor ing people. The last great strike here that of the metal workers which end ed about three weeks ago, is thought to have exhausted the capacity of the Berlin workmen to wage any more bl' strikes this winter. It was so unwisely begun and carried on by the lenders that the radical elements have been somewhat discredited. Saner counsels are, therefore, expected to prevail in the Berlin labor orgalzatlmis during this winter. A greater willingness to work Is also reported from most sections of the country. There is still considerable it: HERE'S PERFECT WOMAN y Frozen Rats Found in Government Supplies London. l'"ror,en nils have been found In enrensse of mut ton supplied by the ministry of food.

Smiih of Los Angeles, Cal., according to Robert II. Manzeck, head of a pliv.-'ical i ruin ing school, who has made a m-ofounrl study of the feminine nhvsiutip. Miss Smith attributes her nerfeet health and figure to nine hours' sleen deep breathing, sleeping in the onen air, light exercising and the forecolmr of candy, cake and pastry. Pfisler's anthropometric chart shows Miss .Smith to be ideally proportioned, with the following measurements: Weight, 121 pounds; height stand ing, 03.5 Inches; height sitting, 34 inches; arm reach, G4.C inches; breadth of shoulders, 14.7 inches breadth of hips-, 13.7 inches; depth of chest, 7.5 Inches; girth of neck, 12.3 inches; girth of chest, repose, 30 Inches; girth of chest, exnnnderl J!9 7 Inches; girth of waist, 25 inches; girth of thigh, 21.7 inches: clrth nf rlfrtif calf, 13.1 inches. mnlleliius loitering by radical com munlst and Socialist workmen; but tin wiser workmen are losing pndencc with those clement and are denounc ing them openly. The growing willing ness to work Is also shown by a vol untary return to payment by the plec on the part of workmen In pome es tablishments. Not long ago a vote win taken by the workmen of nil the shipyards of the country on this ques tion ; but n considerable majority was cast against piecework. This week. however, the workmen In several big shipyards at Hamburg and Lubeck have voted for piecework. Applied Socialism War. The same thing has occurred In oth er parts of the country. In all such cases It M the workmen theinselve! who net; any pressure from the out side would only make matters worse. The hopeful thing In all this Is that It is the older, more reliable workmen who are taking matters Into their own hands, with the determination to oup press the young, unruly element)' which had taken control of shop or ganization In many towns. But, looking further Into the future, most German manufacturers Just now are filled with grave misgivings about the development of the relations be tween capital and labor. The National Assembly Is soon to pass a law for th establishment of shop councils whlc embodies the highest reach of appllei ! socialism that the world has yet wit nessed. Jt will provide for the election o shop councils In all manufacturing nm commercial establishments, except tin smallest ones; and these councils w hrt nrt I.I...I ..I i. . i . .-.n.ui-u iu i-it-LL one or two reple sentntlves In the hoards of directors with all the rights of "imy" members. They will make known the wishes of the working force arid will he entitled to vote on all questions. But big public expenditures and big plan for taxation supply other grounds for deep discontent. Era berger sees clearly the need of n hum increase In revenues nnd he is settinn about the task of passing laws to get It without much regard for all those local Interests which are still so strong In Germany. Under the ante-bellum sys tem the national treasury had to take a hack seat as against the states. The latter claimed the big revenue-produc ing taxes, the Income and general property taxes, ns their own peculiar preserves, and the nation was warned to keep off the grass. Erzberger has cnanged all that, under the stress of the huge revenue demands of the na ti. i .i . nwii. .iju mis maue tne nation supreme In taxation. The Income and property taxes now belong primarily to It. The slates can get only n certain propor tion of the revenues raised by the na tion. William C. Dreber 'in New York Tribune. fAHlll'. mm.
