ARRIVE HERE FROM GERMAN AUSTRIA
First hand information about conditions in German Austria and Germany is given
by two immigrants who arrived from German Austria Saturday. They are Miss Margaret
Soit and her brother, George, sister and brother of Jos. Soit, tailor at Schneider
Inc.
The journey occupied one month when they at last were overjoyed to greet their
brother from this city who went to meet them at Milwaukee. The young people, who
embarked at Breman, found conditions in Germany much worse than in Austria. An
American dollar is worth 300,000 marks. It was worth about 5 marks before the
great war. For a meal they paid about 15,000 marks each. The President of Germany
receives a salary which in American money amounts to $27 a month. The Soits visited
several of the principal cities of Germany. George and two brothers served during
the war. Their brother, Joseph being enlisted on the apposing side. One brother was
killed and the other wounded.
George was a wool buyer in the army which was not so hazardous. Miss Soit was
employed at the "Schloss" of a baron, a high official in Austria whose home is
considered luxurious and pretentious over there. However, she finds the ? home
of her brother and the meals served here far in advance of the barons. The Soits
are residing with their brother Joseph.
