(Correspondence of tha Associated Press.)
BERLIN. Dec. 12. The business situ
ation In Germany has undergone a eon
atderabla Improvement since the first
month or two of the war. Outward signs
of this are vlalblo at Berlin. More trucks
laden with boxes of goods are moving
about the city now.
Chrlatmis shoppers keep tha big de
partment stores well filled; buyers still
show a tendency to make large purchases
and the usual attractive window exhi
bitions of Christmas specialties have not
been neglected by merchants.
1 There also is far less complaint about
people out of employment. Many factories
running on goods for which there can ba
little or no demand In war time, were
shut down at the beginning of August,
but a considerable number of these hare
now turned their plants to other forma
of production, chiefly for making army
supplies of some kind.
Trlmaatagr Sheila.
Curious changes of this nature are men
tioned. Thua a talking machine factory
Is busy trimming shrapnel shells to pre
pare them for the explosive filling; a
piano factory makes cartridges, a bi
cycle factory turns out bedsteads, for
military hospitals, a wood working es
tablishment makes barracks, to be set up
where wanted to accommodate the pris
oners of war, and a sewing machine fac
tory ia producing shrapnel.
Many of the ready made clothing shops,
for which Berlin la famous, are now pro
ducing army uniforms, overcoats . and
other garments for the troops.
Throughout Germany, too, many con
cerns are running exclusively on blgr
army contracts for woolen goods, blank
ets, tentcloth, rain coat ' cloth, and, of
course, arms and ammunition are pro
duced on an enormous scale.
Fewer Idle Than Before.
'The Improvement In business has to a
great extent relieved the non-employment
that assumed serious dimension by the
end of August. Already at the end of
October the labor unions of xtha coun
try were able to report that tha num
ber of their members without work had
dropped to less than half of the number
at the end of August.
In Greater Berlin the number of persona
having steady employment was 100,000
greater at the middle of November than
at the first of September.
