BERLIN SOCIALISTS In
EMBARRASSING PLIGHT

Berlin. April s.-(A. P.)-Majority So
cialst members of the German cabinet
have been placed in an embarrassIn.
position by demands of labor leaders
for withdrawal of regular troops from
the Ruhr valley and for action in other
matters involved in the situation which
has resulted in French advance east
of the Rhine.
1t is freely admitted this action came
as as urprise as the coalition govern
ment did not expect an attack from
Carl r. Legien, president of the Ger
man Federation of Trade Unions, and
other leaders who signed the demands
1t had been acting in the belief 1t had
the support of all parties. in view of
the serious situation contronting the
country.
In official quarters regret is expressed
that the laborite demands amount to
moral support of Premier Millerand, Of
France. and II is declared they are not
feasible as the government is putting
forth its utmost efforts TO restore quiet
in the Ruhr region. Liberal newspapers
outspokenly condemn the manuever, for
which thy hold Herr Legien responsible.
Conservative journals charge the gov
ernment was "ambushed at a critical
period"

BUFFALO SCHOOL
CHILDREN AID IN
BOOSTING PLACE
Unique Publicity Campaign Has
Pupils of Lake City as
Workers

School children Of Buffalo are TAX.
ing an active part in one of the most
original publicity campaigns to boost
their city that has ever been tried.
In letters to The Tribune. two men,
bers of the Seneca vocational school
of Buffalo explain the purpose of the
campaign and give some interesting
facts about their city They end up
their letter by saying. "hoping that
you and the people of Bismarck will
have the opportunity to visit this
(Buffalo) splendid city"
1t is evident from the letter that
every school child in the city of Buff
falo writes to newspapers in certain
cities thus bringing the message of
Buffalo's greatness and advantages to
every corner of the United States.
Both letters received by The Tribune
are we'll written and filled with facts
and figures of Buffalo's development
and advantages.
Frederick w. ,Sweetman writes
"the fine homes are owned by indi-
viduals. who occupy them. and there
are no crowded tenements." Possibly
Buffalo has not been hit by the hous-
ing problem which is bothering SO

HOUSE PROBLEM
STILL WORRIES
LARGE NUMBER
Many Want Apartments in The
Tribune Building Next
November

An example of how acute the
housing problem is in this city. in
common with practically all other
cities in the country. is the continuous
demand for the apartments which will
be in the new building which The Tri-
bune will build this summer AL
though the contract for the building
has not even been let as yet, many
people in the city have asked that
apartments be reserved for them.
The demands for houses, apart
ments and rooms continues undated
and there will be no let up until this
summer With the summer vacations
taking a number of people out of the
city and large proportion of the
school teachers as we'll, opportunities
to obtain living quarters will be bet
ter than at any time since last sum-
mer.
There is some activity in the build
ing line. but indications are that there
will not be sufficient houses construct
ed this spring and summer to take
care of the wants this fall and winter.
Some few private homes are to be
erected in various parts of the city
land in one or two instances apartment
houses may be built. but because of
the high cost of building materials
and last years poor crop conditions
building activity this year is not ex-
pected to be very general.
