enty families daily Besides this, the
arrivals of transient visitors at the
hotels have reached greater proper
tions than ever before. Hotelkeep-
ers say they have never known any
thing like the present rush of travel.
The arrivals in September averaged
AGO q day. In the great hotel
where lodge it is a common sight
to see the servants spreading beds
upon the floor of the bathrooms for
guests who can get no better accom-
modation. At the desk you hear the
clerks turning away applicants and
telling them there will be no room
for some time ahead. To make mat
ters still worse, the various Allied
commissions will be arriving very
soon, and the government has al
ready given notice to several impor-
tant hotels that their rooms will be
entirely requisitioned for the accom-
modation of the foreign officers.
Berlin has now such large over
flow population that the city gov
ernment has had to resort to extraor-
dinary measures to create room
for the homeseekers. Several weeks
ago it announced that it would billet
homeless persons upon families oc-
cupying apartments without filling
them to their capacity. Then it
began to take a census of the house
room of Berlin to ascertain just
where newcomers might be squeezed
in. At the same time Berlin house
holders began to develop an un-
wonted interest in their friends and
relatives, hoping to find among them
renters for some of their rooms and
thus escape the disagreeable al
ternative of having to take stran-
gers into their homes. Of course, all
this has resulted in a wholesale up
setting of housekeeping arrange
ments, and it will also result in
upsetting the family finances OF
many a household, for it is required
that the refugees be taken in at
very low rates if they are poor.
But the accommodations created
by this doubling up process are not
nearly enough to meet the require.
ments; hence many other expedient'
are being resorted to. Old ware
houses and other buildings are be
ing overhauled and converted int
living rooms. Where former dwell
ings were taken possession of by
the various war organizations thes'
businesses are being closed out, al
far as possible, so that the houses
can again be lived in. The mu
nicipality itself is building tenn

Coal Shortage, Too

The coal scarcity has already
made marked changes in Berlin life.
The opera now begins at 6 o'clock,
so that the performances may be
over by 10, when the gas pressure
is reduced in the public mains. For
the same reason restaurants must
turn down their lights, even includ-
ing electricity, at a comparatively
early hour. Manufacturing estab-
lishments also are hard hit by the
shortage of coal Many of these
have already been kept idle for
months by lack of fuel; and now 1t
is proposed to cut down by 80 per
cent the coal allowance Of those that
had been able to keep in operation.
1t is with the greatest difficulty
that the gasworks can keep two or
three days supply of coal ahead.
The coal famine is due to reduced
production and poor transportation
facilities. During the first half of
the year Germany's production was
only 100000 tons, as compared
with So,OO0,OOO last year. And this
years coal contains 10 to 20 per cent
of stone. The famine has recently
been rendered still more acute
through the fact that Germany has
had to begin delivering coal to
France under the treaty.
But the famine is still more
directly due to the breakdown Of the
railway system. Last winter 5000

Berlin, October 8.

Berlin, October 8.
~ ERL1N is now suffering from
such congestion of popula-
H. ton as it has never known
before. Several years ago,
during the first two years of the
war, the newspapers were regularly
printing the number Of vacant
apartments in greater Berlin, and
| recall that the number ran up to
about $4,000. But now. notwith-
standing the great loss of popula-
ton caused by the war, the situation
has been wholly reversed and there
Is much less house room than there
are people to be housed.
And how does that come to pass?
First, negatively, there has been al
most no building done for over five
years; second, and positively, there
IS now an unprecedented rush
Of people to Berlin. Many causes
have produced this congestion at
Berlin. The disbandment Of the
greater part Of the army left many
ex-soldiers here who did not want
10 return to the rustic pleasures of
village life, and more recently re-
turning prisoners of war have be-
gun to pour in. A much more i'm
portant cause is the influx of refu-
gees. The frst of these came from
Alsace- Lorraine, but that stream
has now about ceased to flow. 1t
has been more than Offset, however,
oy the several streams from Ne
east, which are at least four in num-
ber-those from the regions of
Posen and West Prussia that are to
be ceded to Poland, and latterly
from Poland itself and Galicia.
The number of Germans who have
left Posen and West Prussia is very
great Latterly, too, Germans and
Jews have been coming out of
Poland, particularly from Lodz,
where pogroms are reported to have
occurred affecting not only Jews but
Germans. Many Jews are also COM
ing out Of Galicia and out of Poland
itself to escape military service.
Refugees
Most Of these fugitives, it seems
make their way to Berlin. Recently
il was reported that two trainloads
q these people were coming here
@goxy week from Lodz alone. The
~ government has just announced
~ The arrivals now amount to sew.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-23

Many such temporary houses are
also being built on the outskirts Of
the city as homes for the refugees.
Concerning Castles
Under these circumstances it has
been suggested that the old "cas-
ties" of the former Kaiser be con-
verted into apartment houses; but
there does not seem to be much
prospect of gaining room in that
direction. The buildings in ques-
ton are already in use in some way,
except the "Old Schloss," where
the former royal family lived in
winter, and it is to be used as
museum. Moreover, some of these
old castles are works of art in their
inner structure, and objections have
been raised to putting them to such
"profane uses" as dwellings for
common mortals; even the radical
"Berliner Tageblatt" emphasizes its
opinion that ''even the dearth of
apartments would not justify such
barbarism. In Potsdam, on the
other hand, the municipal authori-
ties have taken possession of the
Stadtschloss and are using its nu-
merous rooms as offices, thus lib
Grating house room elsewhere for
homes. There, too, it has been pro-
posed to overhaul the Kaiser's pri-
vate railway station at Wildpark and
convert it into dwellings. There
seems to be no profanity" felt at
that suggestion.
One class Of the community has
been hard hit by this room famine
namely, the students. Next week the
university and other institutions will
be opening, and when the students
arrive, some $4,000 strong, they
will find it next to impossible to rent
rooms in Berlin. Under these cir
cumstances a committee has been
formed to scour the city and plead
with people to squeeze student into
some corner of their houses. Similar
appeals had to be made for the mem
bers of the National Assembly, who
gathered here this week.
But the house famine is not the
only trouble for Berliners. Their
winter Of discomfort now about ia
begin will pinch In many ways. Coal
is extremely scarce, which renders
it necessary to use heat and light
moro sparingly than Berliners have
ever done before. They are allowed

nous military units, the Bavarian Al
pine Corps probably saw as much
heavy fighting as any in the German
army. After serving as chief of staff
to Crown Prince Rupprech, General
Kraffs led his corps through the bat
ties against the Italians, Serbs, Ru-
manians, in Macedonia and at many
points on the western front includ-
ing Verdun. General Kraft came into
conflict with the new government
soon after the revolution which pro-
badly is one reason for his retire
ment.
General Count Bothemer was the
only Bavarian other than the Crown
