EXPLAIN WAR
German Professor Gives New Excuse
for World Rising Against
Prussians

BERLIN, Correspondence of The
Associated Press -"The reason why
the whole world rose up against Prus
STA and Germany and not against
England is plain to everyone who
had observed the Prussian policy in
Poland and the Prussian administra-
ton in Alsace," asserts Professor f..
w. Forester, of the University of
Munich, writing in the Tageblatt.
england practiced much might to
be sure, but it has also given the
world much freedom and justice" he
added. "She succeeded in reconciling
the Beers whereas we were unable in
forty years to regain the sympathies
of the Alsatians who are German to
the core. That speaks volumes.
"The isolation of Germany from
Hague conferences is irrefutable
proof in dominating circles that Ger
many is possessed of different men
tality than the rest of the world"
He charges Germany with having
erred in the exchange of the Versail-
les notes on the question of guilt and
states that many one-sided accusa-
tions might have been combated more
effectively if Germany had not again
endeavored to defend untenable posi-
tions with rank sophistries.

BEAT LANDLORDS
Paris Courts Refuse to Eject House
holders Owing to Lack of
Process Servers


PARIS, Correspondence of The
Associated !Press)-The struggle
between Partisan landlords, who
seek to double or treble the income
from their properties, and tenants,
who are unable to find vacant apart
ments at any reasonable price, has
reached deadlock.
House owners refuse to extend
leases or to advertise for rent apart
ments that have been vacated. Ten
ants, unable to find new quarters, re-
fuse to move at the bchest of the
landlords, while the courts have ceas-
ed to entertain applications for wrlts
of expulsion, there not being enough
process servers to handle those al
ready issued.
Fifty thousand notices to vacate
were served on tenants for the end
of the second quarter of this year.
Such notices were received by all the
tenants of some apartment houses
showing how generally landlords
have sought to increase rents. The
extent of the movement has provok-
ed the passage by the Chamber OF
Deputies of a bill extending for two
years all verbal leases made since the
beginning of the war. Leases made
prior to the war already were pro-
tected by DEGREES and previous legis-
lation. .....

COAL SCARCITY
Engineers Trying to Devise Some
System to Supply London
With Fuel

LONDON, Correspondence of the
Associated Press)-Coal scarcity and
the uncertainty of the supply for the
coming winter are combining to turn
the attention of engineers to some
system of smoke consumption which
while saving fuel, will serve to
cleanse London's murky atmosphere
To the present no practical system
that will come within the purse OF
the average householder has been de-
vised, but experiments along that line
are being carried out by a number
of corporations.
London uses soft coal in preference
to anthracite and within an hour at
ter six o'clock in the morning, when
London servants arise, the air is filled
with long spirals of smoke from
countless chimneys. The sky soon is
entirely obscured.
