LIFE IN GERMANY. LUXURIOUS HAMBURG. -

AN ORGY OF SPENDING,

Writing from Hamburg. Mr. Otis Swift, correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, gives the following vivid account of life in that famous German city :---

"What I want to know," says the Ger man business man, is what is the world going to do about it? You are forcing Germany into the abyss. Unjust repant. tions, cruel indemnities, inconsiderate treatment, is driving Germany to deqair. We are being ferved over the brink, faring possible revolution, commuuism, anarchy, the plight of Soviet Russia.

What I want to know," broke in ba English business mau, is how do you get that way"

The scend was a mammoth glittering café on the shores of the Binnenalster Lake, the wide, luutiful stretch of blue water lying in the centre of the city that makes Ham-- borg a Northern Venier. The café was erowded: "Hundreds of prosperous, fal, jovial, contented-looking German Business But sat the tables. With then wen their wives, arrayed in summer furs, spark- ling jewels, svelte Berlin gowns cut after the latest Paris mode: Walters dashed to and fro, bringing huge golden schooners of, bear, trays laden with delicate pastries. baskets of peaches, cherries, choice fruits. A band blared out the latest, Berlin jazz. Nowhere in Europe, except perhaps on the Riviera, kul the English- man. Her mach care-five extravagance, reckless spending, lavish magnificence. Beyond the plate-glass windows, past the wide terrace where more crowds lounged in wicker deckchairs in the shinde of fluttering palm trees that stood in squat little green tulis, the open expanse of the lake was. lotted with pleasure craft of all descriptions. Knock-about rigged sailboats, that can he hired for forty marks an hour tacked to and fro. Youths in brilliant checkel blazers paddle cedar puats, across the water, keeping rhythm to the music of portable" gramophones in the bows. Pretty blonde frituleius lay on heaped cushions on the bottom boards laughing and chatting with their sunburned cavaliers.

White winged sailing rances, wonderful reations of cedar and mahogany, that would cost a fortune at home, alipped Excursion smoothly through the water.

boats, loaded to the guards, churned down the bay carrying pleasure-seekers to cuter resorts. On Jungfersting, before the door of the cafe, high-powered motorcars, with fastastic futurist lies and solid wheels, dashed past Uniformel chäuffeurs pilotel· the cars, and every car was crowded with fat, prosperous, well-dressed folk of the Free City of Hamborg. The side walk crowds were better dressed" thair the people of London or Paris; the show windows were piled with luxury goods of all sets, sport clothes, sport goods, bather bags, and suit euses, frocks and gowns of wonderful line.

To Englishcen here it impossible fantasy, an unreal dream. Bat such is Hamburg today. The picture is equally true of Berlin. It is true on a lesser scale of other cities throughout Germany. Outside the cities the country people seem equally prosperous. The fields are yellow with beury wheat, the hay is thick in the meadows, every inch of ground is cultivated and bearing a rich harvest, In the industrial districts every factory chimney belches its cloud of smoke against. the sky; by night the Rhine Valley towns of Hom, Essen, and Dortmund are lit with the red glow of the furnaces, and ablaze with thousands of lighted factory windows where double shifts carry on production. Thus, when the German speaks of economic breakdown, of national bank- ruptcy, of impending collapse, the English visitor pourlers: "How do they get that way?"

In the face of the exchange collapse it is useless for the German to attempt to save money, If he saves his earnings, he will! find his boarded money merely worthless scrap-paper in a few months. There is only one thing he can do with his salary cheque. By buying to the limit of his pay, by sper- ding every pfennig as soon as it is male, he ens obtain real" tangible property- motor-care, clothes, furs, suit-cases, malas- ca canes, rare wines, jewels, things that Whatever will not depreciate in value. the future price of the mark, he will have actual assets in his possess on, material things which will have a market value. Realising this, the German is spend- ing to the last limit. The young married mau, drawing is good salary in paper marks, who a few years ago would have. male cautious investments, now bugs an expensive automobile, heaps of furs und gowns for his wife, spends the artistic but fust

This spending orgy, has broken ilowa the German morale, has increased the scale of living of hundreds of thousands of people to fantastic proportions.

Thus the time is coming, and coming soon, when this real capital-will be exhausted, when all the goods are gone when the margin is wiped out. Beyond this margin lies the chaos that the wiser, older leaders fear.
