High Building Costs
Deter German Lovers

Berlin, Aug. 7.-"Feathering ones
nest" is formidable proposition for
the young German of today who con =
templates matrimony. Furniture and
building costs have risen to such
heights and wages relatively have
sunk to such depths that the strains of
wedding marches fail to have much of
siren appeal for either "Hans" or
Gretchen"
Tradition has long decreed that the
young man in Germany is expected
to provide house for, his bride-to-be
before marriage. The latter, for her
: part, should approach the altar with
u uowry sufficient to furnish her new
home with everything from broom to
bedstead. Silverware and special
comforts for the household ordinarily
are contributed by relatives or by
guests attending the wedding cere-
mony.
However, there is little prospect of
a German girl in the middle or lower
classes living up to this custom to-

Issue Report on
Chinese-Portuguese Clash

Shanghai, July 3.-(By the Asso-

ment issued by the Portuguese gov
ernment of Macao report is present
ed of the recent conflict between Chi
nese and Portuguese forces, which
for two days gave promise of result
ing in open warfare.
The governments statement as
serts the disturbance developed on
May % when an African soldier of
the Mozambique Expeditionary Force
was assaulted after having an alter
cation with several Chinese. The SOL
der, the report says, was SO badly in
lured that he was taken to a hospital
.nd one of his assailants was arrest
ed, being takep to the police station
at Chip-seng.
A mob then assembled at the police
station and attemptedao storm it, the
report sets forth, to obtain the re-
lease of the Chinese held prisoner,
and it was when the gathering grew
into thousands it was deemed neces-
sary to send for reinforcements and
an infantry company was sent to the
scene.
The Chinese mob fired upon AMI
stoned the infantrymen, according to
the report, and refusing to disperse
bs.rlicaded the streets near the police
station in the nipht and called q ren
