To get a fairly good seat at the opera, or any other play house on the day of the performances Is impossible, even when old and well known works are given. For 9 new play even stand .ng room is sold out several days in advance, while q first perform ance-and these are many despite the war-is sold out from floor to floor weeks before the dress rehear- sals take place. The claim i3 iusti- fled that Vienna has gone theatre. mad.
 Cafes and restaurants are also crowded, and would be so until day. light were it not that no all-nirht licenses are Obtainable ROW. The few cafes which may remain open until 2 o'clock in the morning are crowd ed until the last minute. High pric. es have no restricting influence, for with the rise in the cost of living has come an increase in revenue.

 The bank officers say it is impoS. sible to meet the demand because of conditions in Mexico. and d pro. test probably will be filed against the enforced liquidation as being in the nature of confiscation.
