Famous German Poet
OuSted From Italian Home

Berlin. Oct2 CA. p. by MaiD-
Ludwig Fulda. the. German poet and
dramatist, built himself a little
chalet fifteen years ago in the
Fyrolean Alps, at Carezza, near
Bozen. When the Italian govern
mcnt took over that part of Austria
the assessors placed a valuation of
$4,000 Ira on F'ulda's property and
advised him that he would be al
lowed to retain the place and con-
tinue his literary work in peace.
But the poet was recently advised
that the Italian state will eXprop-
riate his home as the Italian officials
now say all of his furnishings and
belongings, together with the house,
are worth more than $4,000 Ira, and
that no German is allowed to re-
tain property which exceeds that
figure in value. Fulda was eX-
PEELED from his home and not even
permitted to remove his personal be-
longings.
While Fulda has written many
plays and novels, he is known chiefly
for his redition of Shakespeare's
sonnets into German with such skill
that they became as popular with
Germans as the Shakespearean
