Berlin, Dec. IL.
Berlins coal supply Is nearly exhausted
and will last only few days, according
TO the Government commissariat for
coal distribution. Germany has been
forced to cut down considerably the
quantities of coal regularly exported to
Austria and Hungary.
The commissariat declared one OF the
principal reasons for the coal shortage
vas that Germany was forced TO sup
ply France with quantities which are
far in excess OF former coal shipments
TO France.
IL was announced that passenge"
tialn service between Hamburg. Han
over. frankfort, Leipsic and Dresden
would BIO reduced owing to the coal
shortage.
While increased business IN the Ger
man Iron industry requires an increased
supply of raw iron, about twenty fur
races are inactive owing to the inability
or the authorities to supply sufficient
coke to run them. It was stated that
tbout 1000 German machine factories
and steel smelling works will be forced
TO refuse domestic and foreign orders.

Tango and Other Exotic
Dances to Dominate Sea-

Berlin. Dec. II.
Tho tango and the shimmy are going
to dominate the forthcoming dance sea-
son in Berlin, IS the opinion Of well
known German dance experts. Berlin's
dance craze. which Is more pronounced
than ever. may overshadow even political
party feuds and the reparation problem.
A popular dancing teacher here. Gudron
Heildbrandt. advocates the right OF Ger
man women to dance the modern dances,
while another well known German dan
cling master asks: "Since women lead
men in daily life, why have not German
women the right to dance?"
Gudrun Heildbrandt, discussing the
favorite dances here the coming season,
said: Sentimental people prefer the
Boston and the waltz, plegmatic ones
the Espagnole, sanguine persons the fox
trot and choleric people the shimmy."
1t is predicted that tho triumphal en-
try Of the American dances in European
bathrooms will become manifest this sea-
son by the continued popularity Of shim-
nying.
While American economic cooperation
in Germany's future is still doubted In
some circles here, many Berliners con-
sole themselves with the music of Amcri-
can jazz bands.

Pnris, Dec. Ia.
The fox trot, the shimmy and the
one step-in fact, all exotic dances
must go. This is the decision of the
Paris Dancing Masters Union, which
has approved two new dances which
are intended to revolutionize the art
OF dancing. but which, according to a
few persons who have witnessed ex-
hibltions, will tend to turn the dance
halls into either modest limitations of
German goose stepping or a Swedish
gymnasium in full swing.
With persons preferring quiet exercise
the new polka criolla' is expected to
win great favor. as it consists merely
in the adaptation OF the pol1a's steps
to slower music, with occasional turn
ing and side stepping and frequent
halts, during which partners courtesy
to each other.
But boisterous youth will not fall
for such an innovation. and so Paris
dancing professor. NJ. Perrin, has de-
vised something with an element OF
risk in IL to be known as the "balan-
cello'-a sort of rapid fire waltz with
plenty OF reverses and constant ball
anclng sideward on one foot while the
other foot describes parabolic curves
partners balancing in opposite direc-
tions simultaneously. The Paris Acad-
emy of Dancing recommends this for
rheumatlcs requiring muscular extern
sion, but novices are advised TO take
their first lesson on unwaXed floors.
