By The Assaelated PTess,
 Berlin, Oct. ls.[fhe United so- eialisis are becoming increasingly im- pertant factors in the German politi' cal situation, Not only is the parlla- meniary party apparently unable to deal with the demands Of the masses for economic reforms, thereby threat ening the tenure Of its three members in the coalition cabinet, but it's spokesmen have been eonferring in- formally with representatives of the Communists,
 The socialists, who hitherto have refused to subscribe to, the views Of the liitra- Radicals, still find the Com munist program So extreme that the conferences have been temporarily postponed. but the fact that the two radical groups have been endeayofing to establish "a proletarian working al- lance" Is regarded as a significant in- dieation that these parties desire 10 find common ground.
 The United Socialists are demand ing repeal Of the emergency act in the hope Of placating saxony a position which is taken as a possible forecast Of the retirement Of the three Social list cabinet ministers. Should this take place, the stresemann govern ment would probably be forced out.

 Another dispatch says furore was created in the Saxon diet yesterday when Premier Zeigner asserted that, unknown to Berlin, an unauthorized army existed in the Reich.

LIVING COSTS JUMPING
H. C. of l.. Increases Daily in France
 -Investigation Ordered

Paris, Oct. 19.--The cost of living in France is increasing daily. Taking the cost in 1914 as an index figure, statistics for 100 commodities today give the number 331 against 2S9 for the corresponding period last year, and there seems no reason why this will not reach the previous high wa ter mark of 370 which was attained at the end of 1919.
 The index figure for 20 foodstuffs now stands at 333. Coal which cost G5 francs ton in 1914 now sells for 27O. while shoes have risen from IS to 72 francs pair.
 The prefect of police in Paris has been so impressed with the upward movement of prices that he has open- cd an investigation to determine the causes of the rise and to seek methods best adapted to combat further in- creases.
