TO TEACH DISABLED
Australia Recognizes Duty to
Crippled Soldiers.
Subsistence Wages to Be Paid Men
While They Are Learning
Trades.
Washington.—Tlie manner In which
Australia Is meeting the problem of
repatriating the men lighting in Eu
rope is described In dispatches to tlie
bureau of foreign and domestic com
meree. Much interest was aroused by
the dispatches, ns foreshadowing wbaf
the United States must do when the
tide of disabled men begins to flow
westward.
Two principles form the basis of the
Australian system; First, that the
purpose Is to secure the re-establish
ment of returned soldiers In the Indus
trial life of the community; second,
that as a soldier abandoned his civil
j calling to serve the state, it is the
duty of the state to sustain him until
an opportunity for such re-establish
ment is assured.
Subsistence wages will be paid ‘tc
men seeking employment or being
trained in technical schools. The
amounts will vary according to the
number of dependents, the maximum
being £.1, 6 shillings, or approximately
$10.50.
A feature of the vocational training
planned will la- national Workshops,
wherein men whose injuries preclude
the possibility of their ever becoming
competent to earn their living as nor
mal workmen will lie educated to new
tasks and perhaps employed perma
nently. Tlie totally and permanently
disabl'd will tie provided for in hos
tels, or, alternately, by special grants
supplementary to their pensions, if
they prefer to remain with their
friends.
Widows desirous of learning some
useful trade will he afford* d the neces
sary training and sustenance. Ad
i Vances of money will In- made in cer
tain cases for tlie establishment of
small businesses, for tools and for
transit to employment.
Australia also is following the prac
tl •«* of tlie United States after tlie civil
wai of granting land to returned sol
dlers. Major Bb-znrd, who took part
in the historic landing at fiallipol!
and was severely wounded, lias been

German Deserter Describes
Brutal Treatment Inflicted
on Men in Army.
FATHER CRIPPLED FOR LIFE
4
Crimes Will Darken History of Kaiser.
ism Forever, When People of the
World Learn the Whole
Story.
Marion, O.—Curt Hndlieh, a young
German mechanic employed in local
shops, one-time aviator in the German
army, soldier of fortune and finally an
•American citizen, not only believes the
stories of German brutality that have
come from across sens hut he thinks
when the whole story has been told
crimes that will darken the pages of
the history of kuiserlsm forever will
come to the people of the world. They
will he told not only by victims but
by the very soldiers of the kaiser him
self, Hadllch thinks.
He Is a deserter from the German
army because of treatment he could
not stand. Ills father Is a life crip
ple from the in llgnltlos even of peace
times.
“The German soldier Is treated like
a dumb animal,” says Hndlieh. “He
must grin and hear it—there is no ap
peal.”
Hndlloh's story perhaps is the more
interesting because he has traveled
enough, seen enough and learned
•enough outside the confines of Ger
many to appreciate conditions that ex
ist there.
Father Crippled for Life.
“My father Is a living example of
the effects of German militarism,” he
said. “After the war, if he still is
living, I expect to have him come to
this country in live as God Intended
people should live. He too can tell
stories of how brutal German officers
are to the soldiers tinder them.
“Like all young Germans, he entered
military service when he was twenty,
fine day Ids company was practicing
scaling. lb' had been 111 and was un
able to get over a fence nt which prac
tice was being held. An officer struck
him with a sword. He fell and hits
nnn wns broken. It was not properly
cared for, and that arm has been use
less since.
“While I was stationed at the forts
nt Metz and Strnsshurg I saw things
happen myself that would make an
American soldier think that the disci
pline he sometimes complains about Is
heaven in comparison. The soldiers
get Sunday off nt certain periods and
look forward to them because theft
can visit home.
“1 have seen it happen time and
time again that officers kept some of
; the men in barracks, apparently mere
ly nursing a slight grudge of a per
sonal nature—perhaps merely to have
a hit of sport at the private’s expense.
These same officers would think up all
kinds of punishments for their men,
often putting a fellow at some task on
his day off while several hundred
oilier soldiers were Idle and could have
done the same work.
Just Keep Them Busy.
“I have seen officers order men to
carry water from the big barrels kept
in barracks, sometimes three or four
stories high, merely to give them a
task. After they had emptied the bar
rels they would be forced to carry the
water hack up and fill them again.
“T have seen privates put to work
on Sunday morning with a bucket of
water and a tooth brush and ordered
to scrub the floors.
“If n private does not shoot or march
ns w*ll ns the officer thinks he should,
he is certain to lie punished. One
favorite treatment then was to require
a private to stand erect, then kneel to
the ground, repenting the performance
for an hour or more. I’ve seen offi
cers bent and kick soldiers who be
came exhausted from this task. It
frequently happens that a three days’
strenuous drill on bread and water
diet follows.”
Hndlieh has taken out his first nat
uralization papers, and although regis
tered ns an enemy alien. Is listed in
the aviation reserve corps and hopes
to be able to enter the American array
aviation section in the near future.

BRITISH CAPITAL
ALIVE WITH SPIES
Americans Are Warned to Keep
Their Mouths Shut While
Staying in London.
GREAT WHISPERING GALLER1
Women Are Particularly Active in
Seeking Information From Careless
Officers—Still Most Cosmopoli
tan City in the World.
London.—To young American fight
ing men, as well as to English, th<
same advice Is good—that it is a wist
and patriotic soldier and sailor whc
keeps his war Information to himself;
because, despite repeated warning?
about the dangerous habit of discuss
Ing military and naval matters in pub
lie, London restaurants and hotels are
still full of chatterers. In the past
wotgen have been accused of being
possessed of an uncontrollable pas
sion for gossip, but it seems that meD
are even worse In this respect.
Some idea of the danger of random
talk about matters that should be kept
confidential and never discussed In
public may be gathered from the fact
that London is still the most cosmo
politan city in the world. The West
end is crowded with male and female
adventurers from almost every known
country, including Germany, and al
though every one of them would swear
by everything that is holy that they
are longing passionately for an allied
victory, there Is little reason to doubt
that some of them are spies, ami miuiv
undoubtedly are potential spies.
To give an example: Only recently
In one of London’s biggest hotels there
was quite a little cluster of Russian
women. They' were young and pretty,
had attractive manners, and were not
hampered by any chaperon. So they
soon found admirers in plenty—just
what they were after.
Confined Attention to Officers.
Perhaps there would not have been
anything very strange about this hut
for the fact that these young women
confined their attention exclusively to
officers, soldiers, sailors, and airmen.
They invariably turned the cold shoul
der upon civilians, but no sooner did a
strange officer appear in the lounge
than somehow or other they man
aged to scrape up an acquaintance
with him.
Another curious thing about these
women was that they rarely spoke to
any man for more than 20 minutes
or half an hour. Perhaps they would
have a cup of coffee with him or
smoke a cigarette, but in a few min
utes the women made some excuse and
went away.
Still more suspicious was the fact
that several of these Russian women
were seen to be const,. .I,v conversing
with a young Russian civilian. He
also was stopping in the hotel and ap
peared wherever lie was seen with
them to lie cross-examining the women.
Eventually their behavior attract
ed attention, and they were watched.
The next day they disappeared and
have not been aeen since.
Women Probably Acted for Spies.
Of course, it Is just possible that
there is an. innocent, or, at any rate,
plausible explanation of these mys
terious women. On the other hand it
it regarded as likely that they were
In the pay of a spy organization;
that their part of the business was to
collect Informal ion. which they hand
ed over to a master spy, who in his
turn sifted and checked the data he
received, and then in some way or
other transmitted them to Berlin.
Only the other evening two young
pilots were dining in a restaurant
noted for its foreign clientele. They
were talking loudly and, ns Is Hie way
sometimes witli young men, somewhat
heedlessly. When, however, a woman,
a total stranger to both of them, sit
ting at the next table leaned over and
said: “I wonder If you can tell me
where the - squadron Is stationed
now; I have a friend there,” the
youngsters were shrewd enough to say
they did not know and started talk
ing about theaters.
There is, of course, the wise dictum
that “those who talk don’t know, and
those who know don’t talk." All the
same it must be remembered that
London Is one great whispering gal
lery, and the most casual remark deal
ing with operations in France or else
where may he just the final check
wanted by the Germans to verify n
vast mass of information obtained
from a thousand and one sources.
