EFFORTS TO MAKE WORK. :f . . LONDON, August 10. The correspondent, or riie “Daily Telegraph,” says there has been a drop of 400,000 in Germany’s unemployed, bringing the total down to 4,486,000, but he points out, that these figures must not be judged by the standards of other countries. Apart from the huge Government contracts and relief works of many kinds, the demand for labour is being artificially stimulated as part of a great national faith cure. ' Tims the entire chemical industry in the Bitter - feld district has promised to increase its staff by 15 per cent before August 25, and to keep them in employment for six months. The men will not work longer than forty hours a week. The Government, in return, offers the employers help in . the form of Government relief.
