ALWAYS SOARING UP IN
 GERMANY

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-Foreigners so- journing in Berlin have learned that prices go up, but never come down." regardless of the rise or fall of the German mark Visitors here, con- pelled to live in the first-class hotels, may secure rooms at prices which they consider reasonable compared with home prices, but the illusion of "cheapness" soon vanishes.
 At least once month prices are increased, and the usual increase is 100 per cent The notice of increase is sent the day before the new rates are effective. There is no recourse but to pay. The only furnished rooms or apartments to be had are in the suburbs, and are impracticable because of the frequent strikes on the transportation lines.
 Disadvantages of living in second class hotels, in addition to the ab- sence of modern conveniences, are multiplied by the restlessness of the workers Hardly week passes without a strike of electric workers, porters, cooks, maids-in which case the hotels, as we'll as the office buildings in which the foreigners must work, are dark and without service.
 Within the last three months there have been strikes on the under ground and surface railways, in the electric power plants, of all the en- ployes in restaurants, the chauf- feurs, as we'll as workmen in such trades as tailoring, printing and other lines The last strike was called by the janitors of apartment and office buildings which were left without heat during the coldest days of the winter
 And to every bill which the patrons of the hotels and restaurants must pay their is added a diversity of taxes or surcharges for the state, the city, or the help. Also, tips are still expected and received, although hotel and restaurant employees re- cently consented to abolish the tip when granted ten per cent con- mission on all bills, an increase in wages, and percentage of the weekly incomes of their employers.

WILL JOHN BULL FLAG HAVE TO
 EXCHANGED?

LONDON, Jan. 23-The question has been raised whether the de- signs of the Union Jack and Royal Coat of Arms of Great Britain will have to be altered since Ireland has become a free state within the en- pire.
 The Union Jack has the cross of St. Patrick superimposed upon the crosses of St. George and St An drew. The Royal Coat of Arms has the Irish harp in one of its corners.
 At the College of Arms in London, it was stated that certain modifica- tion were under consideration and that if any action were taken it would be by the King in Council. No parliamentary action will be neces- sary
 Heraldry experts say that altera- tions in arms are very expensive. Some years ago there was demand from Irish quarters that the blue ground of the golden harp on the royal standard should be changed to green It was then estimated that the alteration would cost at least 92,0OO000. To remove all reference to Ireland from the present Union Jack and Royal arms would be vastly more expensive.
 One authority said that it would not be correct for England, the predominant partner, to leave Ire- land out of account in the national flag and the royal arms, unless and until Ireland herself demanded it.

NENANA NEWS
 T0LDIN SHORT PARAGRAPHS

|. NENANA, Jan. 23.-With a view to collecting funds to defray the cost of conducting the affairs of the city and maintaining the school during the current year, the Nenana city council, at a regular meeting gave preliminary consideration to an or dinance providing for tax levy on real and personal property within the boundaries of the city. The or dinance is patterned after an An chorage law and covers the matter of taxes very thoroughly. The ordi- nance will be given second reading at the next regular meeting and passed, and the work of making up the assessment rolls taken in hand immediately, it being the desire of the council to dispose of this work before the end of the term, in April. ' V. o, Green, who was recently ap- pointed deputy U. s. marshal TOT Koyukuk precinct, IS now en route to his post, having left Nenana several days ago on the long mush to the Arctic circle.
 Mrs. Culbertson was among the arrivals from the coast, having come to Nenana to make her home.

GERMAN CONSUL RE0PENINC WAS
 QUIET AFFAIR

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Busy, bus ting Lower Broadway paid no heed to the reopening of German consular headquarters here. The street re- sounded with only the usual worka- day din as Karl Lang took over his office at No. II Broadway.
 Just a few short months before, skyscrapers had thrown to the four winds echoes of the trample of marching feet and clamors and shouts for victorious generals.
 Before 1917 the opening of an inn portant office of the German Elm pire would have been the occasion for ostentatious ceremony, and the world, and Broadway, would have stopped and taken notice.
 After-th opening of the of fees was modest. Chairs, desks, filipg cabinets and typewriters were dragged across the hall from the Swiss consular offices, dusted off and put in their places. Broadway paid no notice. Broadway had ap- plauded when the Imperial German flag was hauled from the flag pole at the top of the building on the open ing of hostilities.
 One decoration of the old German offices was missing after the rooms had been prepared for occupancy. It was an oil portrait of William Hohenzollern, stored with the furni- ture in the Swiss offices. It was gone" workmen said.
 OTHER CHANGES, TOO
 Outside the building there were changes from the pre-war order of things.
 At No. 45 Broadway, a few doors north of the newly opened offices, the former Hamburg American Steam ship Company had headquarters. To- day all floors of that building are oc- cupied by United States Shipping Board offices.
 Members of the German consular staff formerly looked out of their office windows, across North River to Hoboken piers, where German flags flew from the masts of ;n- numerable liners and freighters. To- day some of the same ships may be seen, but there is no German flag. Ships like the Vaterland, now the Le- viathan, now fly the American or some other flag
 In the old days the Germans used also to look down at the status of Germania in front of the customs house. The war, aided by a sculp- tors chisel, altered that block of marble to make out of it a represen- tation of the heroism of Little Bel gium.
 Less than three months ago Fer1i- hand Foch, generalissimo of the allied armies, rode up Lower Broad- way and was applauded to the echo Germany's re-entry into intercourse with America was unheralded and unnoticed.

For the first time since the organiza-
