BERLIN TALKS BY WIRE
DAILY WITH U.S.. ARMY
By the Associated Press.


COBLENZ, Saturday, December %.
Daily telephone conversations be-
tween Berlin and the headquarters OF
the Third American Army in Coblenz
have taken place recently. The long
distance telephone conversations have
been in connection with the work of
the interallied armistice commission
and also in arranging details con-
corning the war material which the
Germans are assembling in the region
of Coblerz.
All wires between Berlin and the
American area of occupation except
two were severed Saturday in accord
ance with the terms of the American
occupation decree. The two remain
ing wires are controlled by the Ameri-
can censors in Coblenz.
The River Rhine began to rise
Thursday and during the last twenty
four hours has risen more than one
foot, flooding the road paralleling the
east bank of the river and causing
considerable trouble to the American
army of occupation. The rise in the
river has made it possible to transport
supplies from Coblenz to the division
headquarters at Neuwweid by boat
Traffic across the pontoon bridge
at Coblenz has been hindered to some
extent, owing to the difficulty in ad-
justing the floating approaches. but
American and German soldiers, work.
ing side by side. have managed to
keep the bridge passable.

Serious Situation in Bavaria,

MUNICH. Bavaria, Friday, December
27.-The report of the rehabilitation
ministers for the past week shows that
the economic situation in Bavaria has
grown materially worse.
Though the open positions have in
creased to 1900 in Munich, the num-
Der of unemployed men has risen from,
1876 to 22.261 and of unemployed
women from 5,918 to 6,303. OF these
2,1S0 men and 574 women during the
week sought engagement as statesmen
and saleswomen in thirty-four iobs
that were open.
! The workers assert that they will
leave the city for the country, where
labor is needed. The ministry Of the
t interior has ordered unusual aRricu1-
tura1 projects to be carried out in
order to provide work for returned
troops.
The coal situation is steadily crow
small and insufficient Coal mining
is suffering. for lack Of labor since
the war prisoners have gone or re-
fuse to work. Not a single ton Of
coal has come from Bohemia, which
recently contracted to furnish $4,000
Saxon miners refuse to mine for
Bavaria because it has fallen behind
in its promises regarding supplies OF
food for Saxony.
Transportation in Bavaria is get
ting worse owing to the shortage in
coal and the delivery Of locomotives
to the entente under the terms of the
armizfice. In addition the gas and
electrical plants are being kept in
operation only with the greatest diff
ficulty. Their operation is rendered
necessary to furnish power to food
producing concerns. Business gen
orally is suffering from the uncer-
tainty of the political ana economic
situation. An attempt is to be made
to re- olutionize industry in Bavaria
with state aid.
