GERMANS BUILD HOUSES FOR U. s.
 ARMY OFFICIALS
Modern Apartment Houses Are Constructed to Accom-
 modate the Americans.

COBLENZ, Jan. 4 Apartment houses built by the municipality or Coblenz, aided by the German gov ernment, were opened recently for accommodation exclusively of officers of the American Forces in Germany and their families. The purpose of the houses is to relieve the crowded condition of the city which has been a problem ever since the Allied troops rached the Rhine.
 There are 82 apartments of five rooms each and all modern conyen- fences in the new buildings now being taken over by the American families. Work on these apartments was started about two years ago to alleviate, as the Germans put it, "an unbearable situation" as mo roof is large enough to cover two fam ilies.' Additional quarters for non commissioned officers and their fam lilies are also under construction.
 Allied army officers say that the population of Coblenz perhaps has been harder pressed by the army requisitfon of quarters than any other occupied city. All available space for officers and billets has been under requisition for nearly three years, but German officials hope the new apartment houses will considerably improve the present crowded condition of the city
 Tn CnhIonz 000 rooms under requisition by the Am erican army, the general policy of billeting being similar in all the zones as occupied by the French, British and Belgians. In the ma jority of cases, Allied families have been quartered in the same houses or apartments with German families. the Allied families occupying a sep arate part of the house so far as practicable and using the kitchen and bath in common with the Ger man occupant.
 AS consequence, disputes have arisen and the town major or billet ing officer is often called upon to settle them. These disagreements all
 
 most invariably have their origin due to the joint use of the kitchen. Because of this difficulty, the policy has universally been adopted of in stalling, where possible. a separate kitchen for the Allied family.
 Generally, when a house or apart ment has been taken over, the Ger mans have been permitted to take their furniture and personal belong ings with them. In the American area it is stated, however, that only in exceptional cases have Germans been required to vacate their homes or apartments entirely. One eight room school building in Coblenz was requisitioned excluively for children of American officers

TOURISTS ARE
 BEING COUCED
 BY THE HOTELS
French Are Complaining as Well as Americans Over
 High Prices Charged.

PARIS, Jan. At is not only Americans or other foreigners who find that the tourist or visitor is charged excessive *fices in France, Maurice Rondet-Saint, a well known French writer, has an article in the Renaissance in which he points out how dangerous "estampage" is to touring, and what eventual loss it in wolves.
 The word "estampage" is a, diction- ary word for punching holes in metal and is as much slang in France for over-charging and such-like as skin ming" client is in English.
 ''The hotel industry" he writes. "has undoubtedly suffered from the increased cost of living, still it must be admitted that a number of those directing it, if not all, have taken advantage of the difficulties of the times to look upon the unhappy in- dividual who has been misled into entering their establishments d. something that can be carved and sweated at mercy, from whom the utmost must be squeezed without smashing the screws"
 There was a great outcry last year against the exigencies of hotel keep CTS and owners of villas offered for rent but money was then more easy than now and the season passed fairly well. This year many villas have failed to be taken and the sea son would have been disastrous but for the English who came to take ad- vantage of the exchange
 In certain resorts in the Pyrenees where the natives seek to live the whole year on the profits gained in six to eight weeks, all sign posts and similar indications were removed, so that guide became. necessary for al most every excursion. M Rondet Saint adds:
 Except for one or two special re- sorts, touring has markedly fallen off this year and unless some under standing is reached to stabilize prices at fair figure, travelling for pleasure will be abandoned and one of the elements which contained the greatest promise for general pros perity will be killed by the incapacity of some and the rapacity of others
