Bremen Building Up
Up a City for the
Laboring People

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
BREMEN, May 1O.-To keep down the
cost of living for the workingman in
Bremen, the city is building homes in
the otlying districts for which the la
borer pays 500 marks CSl2O year, and
owns when he has paid from 900 TO 5000
marks.
On the assumption that the working
man rarely, has an automobile. they have
reduced the width of the streets in the
little colony where the experiment is be-
ing tried to about ten feet. perfectly
paved. and, because of the low build
ingG without at all giving the appear
ance of alleys.
The houses contain three and four
rooms, with a washroom that Is about
as big as the average American kitchen
cite. The houses are Of uniform con-
struction and color.' being tasteful
brown cement. Each has a tiny grass
pot or garden in front and a garden plot
in the rear.
The effect Of the experiment is the
foundation OF city in miniature, which,
because of German cleanliness and care,
is comfortable and coy. rather than
saualid and cramped. The majority OF
the wOFkmen who have taken up with
the plan are employed in the gigantic
elevator nearby. where supplies are be
ing stored from all over Germany.
Nearer the business center OF the city
are larger and somewhat more pretea-
tious buildings-mostly two-family houses
where laboring men can live with sur
prising cheapness Like the smaller
places they eventually become the prop
erty of the families who live In them.

RELIEF FUND UP FOR PROBE
Criticism Heard Over Administra-
ton Of Prince Of Wales Fund
of $4,000, 900.
ASK FOR A FULL STATEMENT

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
LONDON, April 25-widespread critl-
cism is heard in England over the admin
istration Of the Prince Of Wales National
Relief fund, which now amounts 10 SIS,
OOOOOO. About a third Of this has been
expended thus far
The criticism comes from two sides.
The Workers National committee COM
plains that 100000 has been spent in
relieving dependents Of soldiers and sail
ors. and only 100000 for the relief Of
civil distress, which the committee de-
clares was the principal object Of the
fund. On the other hand. families of
soldiers and sailors complain that there
are unreasonable delays in making allow
ances and payments. and that the ad-
illustrators Of the fund have taken no
notice Of many cases OF genuine distress.
The Workers National committee,
which is understood to have the backing
of the trades unions, has asked tho exec
utive committee of the fund for a Full
staf sment of receipts and expenditures,
together with an explanation Of the poll
Icy which has been pursued in the ad-
ministration Of the fund"
In Glasgow a serious situation has
arisen through a notice circulated a few
days ago by the local branch OF the re-
lief fund executive committee, stating
that the fund would not continue to pay
the weekly rent of 1900 dependents. The
Glasgow secretary at the same time
stated that this action was taken against
the wish of the local committee, which
had in good faith made promises to the

for the temporary relief Of wounded sol
diers and sailors. and for the provision

TALLY, disabled.
Grants from the fund Tor tho relief Of
the civil population are made solely on
the recommendation OF the government
committee on the prevention and relief
OF distress, OF which tho president Is
Herbert Samuel, president OF the local
government board.
Unemployment. as everyone knows, IL
much less serious than was anticipated.
ana It has not been necessary to make
any very heavy demands on the fund for
the assistance OF cases of distress among
the civil population. so long ms the gov
ernment's demand for labor on govern
ment work remains unsatisfied, II would
be impossible to regard without grave
grave anxiety the continued reliance OF
men and women on relief funds. The

The defense OF the general executive
committee Is thus given in the Times;
The committee admits that the local
administrative machinery for the pay
ment OF allotments and allowances Is not
yet working smoothly But this work
was undertaken only 10 relieve the un-
precedented strain which the war had
imposed upon the army pay department,
and the committee hopes that before long
the fund viii be entirely relieved OF this
charge upon II.
'"At the beginning Of the war the army
pay office had on It's books only 1,SoO
soldiers wives. The number entitled to
separation allowances is now close to
100000 and they are paid weekly. The
number of households granted relief by
the fund has been over 10000 So far as
practicable the money thus expended Is
being recovered from the war office.
Substantial sums have been granted

In reporting on the work of the Sup

points on that the highest tribunal
gradually is falling behind in it's work.

Two boys, one of them possessor of
a permit, were fishing on a certain es-
tate when a game keeper suddenly
darted from a thicket. The lad wit the
permit uttered a cry of fright, dropped
his rod and ran off at top speed. The
gamekeeper was led a swift chase.
Then, r out, the boy halted. The
man seized him by the arm and said
between pants:
a Have you a permit to fish on this
estate?"
"Yes, to be sure" said the boy.
You have? Then show it to me-"
The boy drew the permit from his
pocket. The man examined it and
frowned in perpleXity and anger.

THE CHRISTMAS
BUSINESS GOOD

The Christmas business in the stores
on Friday was fully up to expectations
according to the merchants and it was
tired party Of clerks and business
men who finally closed the door and
pulled down the curtains for the night.
The Christmas business this year has
been above the average in practically
every store in town. There seems to
he no doubt among the merchants that
the Carnival of the week before had
it's reflection in increased business this
week, as people came in then and re-
turned, called back by the fine stores
and the good opportunities for doing
their Christmas trading. Another in
fiuence on the trading in Waterville
has been due to the fact that there
has been no hard times in this city no
matter what they have been in other
places, all the mills are running to ca
pacity, there has been plenty of work
for those who wanted work and the pay
on the whole has been good. Added
to the rest came the distribution of the
bonus at the Hollingsworth & Whitney
mills, Friday. which Embossed thousands
Of dollars in Waterville and Winslow
and no doubt caused some people to
purchase more than they could have
otherwise. On the whole it has been
an exceptionally good year and every
one is feeling we'll satisfied with the
results.
