Berlin. Oct. IS.
German and French trade unions anu
municipalities are proposing TO compe,e
with Hugo SHINES. Senator de Lubersac
and the big industrial combines in their
plan for the reconstruction OF the de-
vastated areas OF France. The mayors
OF Sedan and Rheims. following the
initiative OF Councillor Doucedam. met
the heads OF German building unions
and cooperative societies in Cologne and
Berlin and drew up a reconstruction pro-
gram extending over period Of four
years.
The French group comprises many
small municipalities and farmers while
the German group represents 200 CO.
operative building guilds. The Germans
have agreed under the Wiesbaden terms
to deliver building materials and furni-
ture to the value OF 1000. 900 marks
The German Government has agreed TO
pay IS per cent. OF the expenses and II
IL Intended to raise the remainder
through a loan. The trades unions are
considering the use of German workers
FOR the reconstruction project. but the
obstacle TO this Is that neither the
French nor the German Government will
uay their wages and compulsory service
is Impossible.
The success Of the Doucedam agree
ment hangs on the German Govern
ments ability TO make reparation pay
ments. The understanding Is handl-
capped by the fact that the partici-
pators have a scant supply OF capital.

Berlin, Oct. 28.
A number of diplomatic representa-
tives OF France. Italy and Belgium have
been forced out of their apartments In
the fashionable suburb of Schoenburg as
q result Of having ignored the housing
officials. According to the angry town
council, the diplomatlsts moved into any
quarteps where their money was accept
able. without consulting the housing Of
ficials. thus defeating the purpose OF the
housing ordinance.
Herr Moediinger, the head Of the
housing committee, has been alternately
fired and hired at every stormy session
OF the council. on proof or dismissal of
charges OF having connived with the al
lied usurpers.
Schoenberg officials also are hotly de-
nouncing the Foreign ONCE. alleging
that it backed up the dlplomatists in OBJ
tanning rooms unlawfully.
Not long ago Major Dausant. a Bel
gian, rented ten rooms from a German
woman without official permission. He
was elected and the woman punished for
using more space than was allowed
under the housing law. Later the same
space was given to single German.
An italian captain was the next VIC
tim, being elected from five room flat
by force. whereupon the Foreign Office
obtained other quarters for the visitor.
French and Spanish ENJOYS were ousted
on subsequent orders.
The Schoenberg council now is de-
manding Government aid in upholding
the housing allotment regulations, which
are operative throughout the city. They
insist that the foreign diplomatic corps
follow the regular procedure, first reg
istering anG Shen~ applying for a limited

theatrical and newspaper circles in Paris
following the threat made by Henri
Bernstein that he will no longer give
free tickets to the Fisher brothers,
critics for the Liberte, because they ala
not praise his Judith as heartily as
the other guests he had invited to the
dress rehearsal.
The editors OF the paper on the other

criticism by making the critics the

.PAONESSA FEARFUL
 0F COAL SHORTAGE
Issues Proclamation Asking Peo-
 pie to Help Fuel Commission

At the request of the fuel commis- sion, Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa has is- sued the following proclamation ask ing co-operation of the public dur ing the period of shortage.
 To the People of New Britain.-
 At conference held December eth by the coal dealers of our city and members of the fuel commission, the coal situation was thoroughly dis cussed.
 Tt is almost certain that there will be shortage of egg, stove and nut coal in this city between now and April 1st; and in order to conserve New Britain's supply of coal all the dealers have agreed at the request of the fuel commission not to sell any coal except mixed combinations for either kitchen range Or furnace use. For every ton of coal sold for kitch- en range use, dealers will sell fifty per cent nut and fifty per cent pea coal. For every ton of coal sold for furnace use, dealers will sell eighty per cent stove and egg; and twenty per cent buckwheat coal.
 ''The local fuel administrator has set a price Of s1S.5O per ton for egg, stove and nut grades of coal. The price of coal. however, ranges from SIS to s19 per ton in the city. Mix. ing these grades of coal with pea ande buckwheat coal will lower the price aNttle more than dollar per ton.
 t is rcyrettable that it has been louhd necessary to compel household CTS to take mixed combinations of coal, but as mayor of New Britain wish to urge the people to cooperate with the fuel commission in tiding he city over this critical period: and take this means of appealing to the consumers to lend their aid and sup port to the effort.
