FOOD PRICES SOAR
 IN FRENCH CAPITAL
High Cost of Living Caused by War
 Forces Many Paris Restaurants
to Close Doors

AT to Close Doors.
 stcorrespondence of The Associated Press,
 Paris, Aug. 6.-Paris Is beginning to reel the difficulties of. dodging war prices, particularly food prices. Everything was so cheap in the begin ming, and remained so. for months. that it was possible for restaurants to make slight and gradual encroach- nents that were not noticeable to the public. One or two sous could be :. added to the price of dish here and there in the restaurants without at- tracing much attsrtion, although 1t added from 10 to 30 per cent to the Income Of the esta blshnn ent. %ssss
 Patrons of restaurants where there were no prices on the bill of fare have not felt this, but even in some Of the fashionable resorts nve sous to ten sous have been added, almost inn perceptibly, and supported until now the customers of those establishments are beginning to ask why.
 Tn the early days of the war, with reduced help and reduced expenses, some establishmen ents, profiting from the closing of others, did more busi- ness than ever at a greater perm ent- age of profit. One popular priced house, frequented by clerks and sew ing girls, added twenty per cent. to it's prices and reduced its portions twenty per cent. A strong competitor next door having closed, he did more busi- ness at forty per cent. more profit and became rich in ten months. Other restaurants reopened. His increased prices became noticeable; he lost most of his old custoner CTS and now he joins in the vail of other restaurant men who were less favored than he.
 Scarcity of men help, increased cost of meats and other provisions and de- creased business are the reasons the restauran men give for general ad- vance in price.

Upholding Our Citizenship.
Waterbury Democrat.)

If an immigrant wants to 50 back and fight for his fatherland, that is nobody's business but his own. But if he is in the way of becoming an American citizen he must start all over again when he returns to America. This fact, important to hundreds of thousands of men from many lands, is pointed out by the federal department of labor in re- cent announcement Our laws pro- vide that an applicant for citizenship must have resided in the United imm ediately preceding the filing of his final petition. The courts are holding that absence from the coun- try for the sake of performing mili- tary duty in foreign land breaks that continuity. They hold, further, that the original declaration of the immigrant of his intention to become a citizen is "vitiated" by the oath Of allegiance to a foreign soverign which is required for all, or nearly all, European armies. The ruling is not made expressly to meet conditions of the present war. It is based on judgment handed down in the case of a Greek who declared his inten- tion of becoming an American citizen on July 6, 1909, and then returned to Greece in December, 1912, to fght in the second Balkan war, remaining there until March, 1914. He is not disqualified from becoming citizen but his citizenship is delayed i've years. This is an admirable policy It tends not only to uphold the value of American citizenship, which many newcomers regard too lightly but it emphasizes the fact that this na- ton has no connection with the Eu- ropean war, and neither directly nor indirectly lends any sanction to par ticipation in it.

.saae-,--.--7- t...-{.'-- .r- s Berlin, Aug. 5, via London, Aug. 6, z2:44 a. m.-A sharp conflict is in pro- sgress within the leading circles of the national liberal party owing to the action of a wing of the party in conducting private and public cam spaign of attack against pr. Theobald won Bethmann-Hollw the imperial chancellor. The campaign centers around the supposed attitude of the chancellor 4on tho subject of annexing, territory and the final settlement of the war, His assailants assuming that he is not ready to go to the lengths in this di- ssrection which they and their packers consider proper and justified. \ x Ernest Basserman, the veteran par ty leader; Herr Hirsch, member from 5the Essen district, and pr. Gustav gStresemann. a functionary; in various industrial and bushes organizations, who was defeated as candidate at the general Reichstag electors, but f w AO ldLCi OUNdAHCu d SCdL at a. Dy. election in Hanover, are the active leaders in the anti-Bethmann- Holl- veg campaign. Behind them stand a body of prominent. individuals who favor most sweeping annexations.
 The attitude of the opposing. and apparently stronger, faction of. the party is laid down in an inspired ar ticle in the Leipzig Tageblatt," one of the party organs. .'e
 This wing, acording to the news. paper, holds that the public utter. ances. of the chancellor afford nc ground for the assumption that he is pursuing a weak policy based on H. 1usions and is not serving the inter. aests of the empire.'' ..... -<sz :,

HambursIs Uniqlo FofFy,

Hamburg possesses steam ferry Of a somewhat original type, for the main deck can be raised and lowered by suit able machinery h order to take up q difference of level of some sixteen feet The large structural framework rises to a considerable height and is intended to guide the whole platform in Its yer ticaI movements. By the use of pow erful electric wlnches 1t is possible to raise and lower the deck as O whole, even when 1t is loaded with numerous heavy vehicles, such as are used In landing material Nt the port. The req son for adopting this arrangement of the deck lies in the fact that at the Hamburg port the difference in tide level Is considerable, so that when the boat lands at the wharf 1t Is by no means on the same level at all times and iu the ordinary case the heavy vehicles would be obliged to mount or descend a steep incline. It is in order to avoid this drawback that the pres ent type of ferry was constructed, and as the movable deck can always be brought flush with the level of the dock, the vehicles can now run of in the ordinary way.
