No Hospital in Vienna
Has Coal for Winter
All Austria Faces Fuel Crisis
Food Shortage in Nation
Serious

VIENNA. Aug. 30 (Corre spondence Of
The Associated Press).-Cool nights
and chill autumnal rains are beginning
TO bring Vienna, and all Austria. face
to face with the fuel famine that looms
along with the food shortage To-day
this great city has reserve of only
5000 tons. Not a hospital has been
able to arrange its winter supply
The government experts estimate
that with all available wood added to
the estimated coal supply the Nennese
householder this winter may have
about rs per cent of enough fuel to
keep one cooking fire No one talks of
heating. Warm houses and hot water
are among the other uxuries un-
known.
Czecho-Slovakia has coal for export
and contracts have been made by the
AustTians for all they can get. bur The
delivery is slow and the whole matter
seems clouded with difficulties and
complications. 1t is believed means
will be found to maintain the Inter
Allied express trains that now run
three times week, but other railway
and river transport doubtless will be
very limited

Family Is i'm Distress
Mother Must Have Aid or Break
Up Her Home

a mother in the Red Hook section
of Brooklyn is in pathetic state of
destitution. Deserted long ago by an
unworthy husband she has been striv-
ing to keep the home together for her
five young children, the youngest a
little girl of only four years. For a
while Mrs. "Mervin" was able to sup
port her family by taking in washing
and doing janitor work, but the hard
labor has told on her and now she is
badly afflicted with rheumatism.
Unless friends come to her aid her
happy home will have to be broken up.
and 1t is her constant fear that her
children will be taken from her and
placed in institutions. The Brooklyn
Bureau of Charities believes that no
good home should be broken up because
of poverty alone, and plans to assist
the distressed woman with a weekly
allowance to help cover living necessi-
ties. Large or small contributions
toward a fund OF $500 for this purpose
arc appealed for and may be mailed to
the Bureau at SO Schermerhorn Street,
Brooklyn. marked For 437 TR"

British Liquor Dealers
Claim Patronage of King
Temperate Monarch Supplied
by Brewers, Distillers and
Wine Merchants

LONDON, Aug. 25.-Everybody knows
that King George is one of the most
abstemious Of men with respect to al
coholic beverages. Yet list of royal
warrant holders published in "The Lon
don Gazette" the official organ of the
government, shows that eleven dis
tillers of whiskey are entitled to call
themselves purveyors by appointment
to the King. Nineteen brewers, or
dealers in beer, may claim the same
distinction. In respect of wines the
Kings official record is in most strik-
ing contrast to his well-merited repu-
tation for abstemiousness. Something
like fifty wine producers and wine mer-
chants can boast of receiving his pat
ronage.

Ban Against Fraternizing
With Germans Lifted
Army Regulation Still Forbids
American Soldiers From
MARRYING Teuton Girls

COBLENZ, Sept. % (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-The army regulation
prohibiting American officers and SOL
diers from fraternizing with Germans
was revoked in an order issued yester-
day by Major General Allen. The rule
against fraternizing became effective
in December soon after Major General
Dickman and the American army Of oc-
cupation reached the Rhine The Brit
ish and French are reported to have
lifted their ban several months ago.
For the last month the regulation in
the American area had not been strict
ly enforced, and there has been con-
siderable promenadng by American
soldiers with German girls. The revo-
cation of the fraternizing order in no
way affects the regulation prohibiting
American soldiers from marrying Ger
man women.

Votes
To Retain Grand
Duchess as Ruler
Women Believed to Have
Had Decisive Influence:
Customs Union With
France Backed to Get Coal

LUXEMBOURG, Sept. % (By The
Associated Press) Tho plebiscite held
to-day to determine the future govern
ment and economic policy Of the Duchy
Of Luxembourg resulted in a majority
IN favor Of the retention Of Grand
Duchess Charlotte as ruler and for a
customs union with France
Women, old and young, notwith-
standing the heavy early morning rain,
went to the polls and voted with the
men. 1t is believed that their vote
had a decisive influence upon the re-
suit, as the C1ercals, who supported
the Grand Duchess, paved the way for
woman suffrage in Luxembourg.
Chief local interest was displaved
nomic alliance should be concluded with
Belgium or with France, owing to the
dependence of the iron industry upon
outside raw materials. The newspapers
were about evenly divided on the
question.
Those favoring Belgium argued that
King Albert does not wish to expel the
present dynasty, which fact, they said,
would protect the independence of the

gums agreement to advance a large
sum of money for German paper money
and to the similarity of the two peo-
pies, and declared that Belgium's nat
ural outlet is through Antwerp.
The advocates Of the French alliance.
on the other hand, insisted that France
was the only power able to supply the
coal needed for the iron industry, and
this argument evidently carried the
day, despite the fact that the French
treaty conditions have not yet been
made public.
One faction favored the establish
ment of republican government, con-
tending that the German dynasty
should be eliminated and that no other
dynasty was available. There was no
hostility in any quarter TO
Grand Duchess Charlotte, whose con-
stitutional powers and influence are
slight.

lyn. They were taken into custody, and
described themselves as Samuel Giada-
nom, Of 1873 East Houston Street, and
Michael Cantela, Of 975 Third Avenue,
Brooklyn. The car, according to the
police. belongs to Richard Magnefeco, OF
III Twenty-ninth Street, Brooklyn, a
brother of the first man arrested.
The staying is attributed by the po-
lice to feud arising from business
rivalry.
Information Of the hotel hold-up was
given by John J. Hanley, proprietor Of
hotel at 2457 Broadway. Hanley
says he was just closing up his bar
Saturday morning when four meen en-
tered the place, their leader pointing q
gun at him and smilingly remarking:
"Use Brains, Give Us Money"
"Now, Mr.. Hanley, you have lots of
money and lots Of brains. Use your
brains and give us your money"
The desperadoes rifed the cash reg
lister of $500 and then forced Hanley
to open the safe and give them sl,007,
the remainder Of its contents.
AS the four bade linn good morning
and walked out the door Hanley began
to blow Justify on police %histle. He
continued to blow it, he declares, until
he was out of breath, with no result,
and then undertook TO follow the ban
dts. He caught sight of them stroll
ing leisurely up Broadway. Hanley,
trailing them at distance, says he
looked in vain for a policeman.
The robbers had their car parked at
Ninety-sixth Street, five blocks from
the hotel, entered it and sped away
Hanley says the police asked him to
keep the robbery secret.
Seven safes were blown in a loft
building at 103 Canal Street, after six
men had attacked and baten into in
sensibility the night watchman, Samuel
Lazarus, fifty-three years old, of 56
Chrystie Street. Harry Feinberg, of
122 Hester Street, was later locked up
at the Clinton Street station on
charge of suspicion of burglary.
Articles Worth $4,000 in Trunk
The cracksmen got no loot, accord
ing to the police. They blew open
three safes on the second floor, oc-
cupied by Richmond Brothers; two on
the third floor belonging to Masir &
Herman, and two on the fourth floor,
where Weimar & Schear have their
plant.
When Fred Bruce and his family re-
turned to their home at 869 Madison

The answer is that almost without eX-

the comparatively recent purchases by
big institutions such as National City
