EUROPE 15 STOPPED
Severe Suffering Being Under
gone By All Professions
Vienna Hard Hit.
Research work In one of the great
est European ' University cities.
Vienna, is practically at a standstill
The distress Is so widespread and so
acute that no clas or profession has
escaped from severe suffering these
days. Apart from tho very poortit
of the working classes, however, in
vestigatlon shows that one of the
hardest hit sections in Vienna is
found amongst the members of Mio
University.
Reports from this country show that
living costs have increased out of all
proportion to the increase In wages
and Incomes. It is just such condi
tions ns this that will make paupers
or beggars of any class of people.
The highest income paid any Viennese
official is flO.000 crowns a year, and
the minimum cost of living for a fam
ily of four per year is estimated at
176,00 crowns a year. Kven before
the war the salaries of tho professors
were never high. Now a year's sal
ary could only support them a month
in anv real comfort. Every day pro
fessors are obliged to sel all their
most cherished possessions in order
to buy food and keep a i"f over
their heads.
When the depreciation in vaue of
the kronen is expressed in understand
able terms, it is then clear how im
possible it is for these men to make
their only very slightly increased
salaries meet the enormously In
creased prices. Before the war, 21
kronen were equivalent to one poun-I
storling, now S25 kronen are equiva
lent to one pound sterling. Tnese
figures speak for themselves.
Prior to the war, students came
to Vienna from all over ( the world.
Owing to the stringent linancial con
ditions of the present time, hcwevei.
It has been Impossible for them to
go home so that today there are
many students in the University of
Vienna who have beeu there since
1914. The housing and living cona
tions of the students are indesciibablj
wretched without light, lacking heat
and very unsanitary. There are a
great many reasons why these stu
dents are willing to subject them
solves to such poverty and distress.
One would think that no sane in
dividual would continue on ont meal
a day and live in unseated dirty quar
ters fully realizing that even after
the completion of his course, he will
be unable to find employment paying
a .living wage, if any other resources
or means to better his lot existed.
Economic conditions, physical unfit
ness, old prejudices against student
labor all combine in making 1t prac
tically impossible for student, to se
cure work.
The unemployment problem In .Vi
enna is such a critical one that nearly
every foreigner is boycotted. Whtn
a foreign student graduates, he has
completed his course In every seiib.
of the word for nothing renulns for
him to do as it is an imposslb'"ily for
him to secure any kind of employ
ment at a living wage.

Youth.
if I had youth I'd bid the world to
try me,
I'd answer every cnatlenge to my
will;
Tho mountains stood In silence to
defy me
I'd try to make them dubjeet to my
will.
I'd keep my dreams and follow whcie
they led me;
I'd glory in the hazards which
abound;
I'd oat the pimple faro whW pi n a
tions fed me
And gladly make my couch, upon
the ground.
If I had youth I'd ask no odds of dis
tance Nor wish to tread the known and
level ways;
I'd want to meet and master strong
resistance
And in a worth-while combat spend
my days.
I'd seek the tasks which call for fu.ll
endeavor;
I'd feel the thrill of cattle in my
veins;
I'd bear my burden gallantly, and
never
Desert the hills to walk on com
mou plains.
If 1 had youth no thought of failuie
lurking
Beyond tomorrows dawn bliduh'
fright my soul;
Let failure strike it should find n.e
working
With that someday I should reach
my goal.
I'd dice with danger aye! and glory
in it;
I'd make high stakes th5 jurj.ofe
of my throw;
I'd risk for much, and should 1 full
to win it
I would not even wTumper at tiio
blow.
If I had youth no chains of fear
shoul bind me;
I'd have the heights which older
men must shun;
I'd leave the wel-worn lanes of life
behind me
And seek to do what men have
never done.
Rich prizes wait for those who nevjr
waver;
The world needs men to battle for
the truth;
It calls each hour for stronger hearts
and braver;
This is the age for those who stui
have youth.

Gripping personal experiences on
the three continents which he has
