Darts. France. Aug T-Recently the
l landlord with due apologies in
formed Capt F. ". Fineid. Of
Plattsburgs n z. American Red Cross
worker. that his rent was raised for
the fourth tine since 1913.
On receiving the Information Capt
FifieId chuckled: al Of which is an
unusual thing for q man 70 do under
the circumstances. but the fact was
that IN spite Of the fourth raise the
American was spending less for rent
than before the first boost came al
most two years ago
The unusual condition Il one OF the
results OF the vagaries OF exchange
between French and American money.
In 1913 Capt Fifield contracted for
the room at Z francs a day. At that
time he was receiving francs and IS
confines for every dollar IN salary.
Bis rent. therefore, was something
like u cents a day.
Every season a new raise came
along until the landlord set what he
believed TO be the exorbitant figure
Of francs as the rent after Nay I
this year. Capt Fifield Is now receiv-
ing, according TO the exchange Of
Nay 1, II francs for every dollar.
and his new rent reaches the total
OF ~ cents instead OF 70, although Il
has been nearly doubled
