DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER fi, 1921.

LECTUREWAS WELL RECEIVED Bishop Spreng Gave Great Revelation of Condition Found In Germany. The lecture given last avening by Bishop S. I’. Spreng at the Evangelical church, under the auspices of the mens brotherhood, proved to be a wonderful revelation of the conditions in Europe and especially in Germany. The church was well filled, and many people were present from surrounding cities. Bishop Spreng told of how destitute the common class of people were, stating that when the poor died they would rent caskets to use during the funeral services and when they arrived at the grave they would take the body out’of the casket and wrap it in newspapers and bury it, returning the casket to be used again. The German mark had depreciated so that a ten dollar bill in United States money paid his car fare all during the summer, and it has depreciated even more so at the present time. The Misses Emma and Lena Guth. German sisters, sang a German song 1 at the beginning of the lecture which ■ was much appreciated by the audience. The mens chorus of the church also sang special selections. At the • close of the lecture the mens club • gave a reception in honor of Bishop I Spreng and the visiting pastors. SEEK LOCATION FOR XMAS TREE Woman’s Club Asks To Plant Fir Tree In the Court House Yard. Mrs. Jno Schug and Mrs. L. A Holt house, representing the Woman's club of this city, called on the county commissioners this morning and explained to them that the Womans club wished to hold a Community Christmas celebration and would like to knolv their attitude towards planting an old fashioned Christmas tree, a Northern fir or EVergreen somewhere around the* court house, arotfnd which the celebration would be held. The planting of the tree, of. course, would make it permanent. The commissioners would like to favor the women ,but to do so, it was stated, it would be necessary to cut down one or more of the large maple trefes around the court house. It was at first requested that the tree be planted in front of the court house, near where the old town pump stood, but the commissioners did not like this suggestion. It was voiced by the commissioners that an Evergreen tree was dirty, and that the needles littered the ground below it Another argument against the plant ing of the tree was that the grass under and around it would be killed. The commissioners voiced their sen timents in favor ot' helping the women if a suitable place could be found for the location of the tree, but as the court house yard is about the only public and centrally located spot in the city, it is doubtful if a suitable place can be found. . o Anti-Jewish Riots Continue In Berlin Throughout Night (By Gustav M. Oelun) (U. I’. Staff Correspondent) Berlin, Nov. 6.—Anti-Jewish riots which at times tjireatened to develop into an actual program, raged in Berlin throughout the night and continued today in many parts of the city.

Hundreds of Jews, many of them with bloody Wounds and torn garments to testify to their mistreatment, fled in panic from Berlin this morning. These refugees, stumbling ami tottering, many wailing and other evidently dazed at what had happened, joined in a great exodus, spurred on by the distant yelling of mobs. —o v CHICAGO MARKET CLOSE Wheat: Dee. $1.06; May $1.11; July, $1.07.

WILL RE-PAPER COUNTY OFFICES Commissioners Decide To Have Clerk's and Treasurer’s Offices Papered. For the first time in years the county clerk’s and treasurer’s offices in the court house will be re-papered, the county commissioners in session this morning ordering the much need ed improvement. Since the old wooden tiles and cabi nets have been removed from the county clerk’s office the walls in many places are bare making the ap pearance of this office unsightly. The paper on the walls in the treasurer’s office has, for sometime, been torn and in many places It has come loose and the bare walls show. It is the desire of the commissioners to have the clerk’s offic e re-paper-ed next week for the reason that during the present vacation term of court, the offie'e will not be used as much as it generally is during the time court is in session. The treasurer's office will be re-papered as soon as the paper hangers can get to the work. After the commissioners went on record in favor of cleaning up the two offices a little ’discussion followed as to wtio was going to select the paper. As far as known the commissioners will alt as an "investigation committee,” aided by the advice of the incoming county officials who will occupy these offices next year and their deputies, the Misses Goldie' Gay and Florence Holthouse, and Mat Breiner, the custodian of the court house. 0 Demand Resumption of Inter-Allied Control BULLETIN (U.
