More Than 10000 Applica-

Berlin, March 25.
The application for reservations for
the first revival of the Passion Play
at Oberammergau since the war is
causing the committee of elders con-
siderable concern. Although the first
performance will not be given until
May IA more than 10000 applications
for seats and lodging accommodations
have been received from abroad.
When 1t is remembered that the
little village of Oberammergau itself
can take care of only about 900 or so
visitors who wish to spend the night
there, the difficulties that confront the
elders can be readily understood
Arrangements have been made TO
lodge about 1000 at 'Unterammergau
not far away. and the convent at Ettal
also within committing distance" will
try TO house somewhere around 400
But all this. it Is feared will not meet
the demand. for the 10000 applications
are from abroad and do not take into
consideration the German patronage
which will be at least three times as
great.
Of'course all who go to see the Passion
Play will not need to stay over night
The theater will seat 4,300 spectators,
and as the play viii run several months
the elders have hopes OF meeting the
situation
1t would seem like glorious oppor-
tunity to make great deal Of money
and Oberammergau. greatly in need Of
improvements could use IL But the VIII
lage elders with their rural simplicity
and the sacred view they take Of their
production. spurn the idea. For that
reason they have refused to have a
motion picture of the play made. though
they were offered 100000 marks fo-
the rights. This in spite OF the fact
that the production OF the play and the
preparations for visitors will cost 2,000,-
600 marks this year against 100000 in
1910. Moreover, profiteers and specula-
tors OF all kinds will be barred and
severely dealt with when caught.
Not the least of Oberammergaus diff
culties will be that of feeding the thou
sands of visitors. For this a special
commissary committee has been ap-
pointed which win cooperate with the
Bavarian authorities. Already this has
resulted in concessions being made
During the presentation of the Passion
Play the Government will make an ex-
ception of Oberammergau In lis policy
OF restricting foreign importation OF
food delicacies, and the village will BE-
provided with ample quantities Of
foreign food So the thousands will be
assured OF plenty Of food. even though
many OF them may have TO satisfy
themselves with trees for shelter.

The world is going to the "demnition

The noted Father Janvier of Notre

cleansing the dance: but he considers
that much progress has been made since

turned out to defend the domicile rights
of the old tenants. This is only one
phase in Italy of the nationwide con-

tenants are defying the courts. the

a small private army to avoid being

to raise the rent they demolish the
building or else eject the tenant who
submits to the increase.
Forty cents is the annual dues OF
the Tenants Defence League, which has
its army OF Fascist, eX-soldiers and
street gangs. The police say they can
not break up the barricades without the
assistance Of the Italian army, and
therefore advise against ousting tenants.

Such request is likely to become the
inquiry of the Roman real estate dealer
should the housing shortage continue.
The high cost of living and crowded
flats are driving the hard pressed
Romans into the ancient mausoleums,
royal baths and coliseums. Spring tour
lists are beginning to feel that they are
intruding into the tenements of Roman
paupers, not the final resting places Of
Roman kings.
Along the ancient Via Nomentana
modern flat dwellers seek escape where
once the pebeians fled from servitude.
Here American archaeologiSts found in
stead of mobiles reclining in their tombs

hungry bambino. Neither the ancient
nor modern tenants complain of the
Lack of the latest improvements. The
tomb Is made homeike with chairs, bed

settled here because she could find no
quarters in Rome. She took in roomers

were four workmen. who slept on ledges

Modern Italians thus put to utilitarian
purposes the antiquities of Rome. Lodg-
