Germany Weeps
as i. S. Tourists
Flee High Prices
BY GUS M. OEEM
Hy United Press

BERLIN, April 6.-The Ameri.
can colony in Berlin has gone on
strike against the high price wave
dominating Berlin business-espe-
cially the big downtown hotels.
The Adlon hotel, long the center
of American activities in Berlin, is
being rapidly emptied of American
guests who have lived there for
years. The price of rooms coupled
with the so per cent lodging tax
levied against all foreigners has
started the colony to looking for
new quarters.
Formerly transietn from abroad
couldn't get into the Adlon without
bribing the clerk or ordering days
ahead by wire.
In addition to the American col
ony, the group of international pro-
fiteers, consisting largely of Rus
slams, ectera, is also beginning its
exodus from Germany. Reports
are that they are going on to Paris
where they look for the next money
slump and consequently cheap liv-
ing.
Want to Remove Tax
AS result Of the slump in traf-
fic there is decided agitation for
reduction or removal of the 80 per
cent tax.
In addition to the wave of high
prices which has set in here to dis
courage traffic, the government has
put on such restrictions ON pass
ports, vica, etc, that it is nearly
impossible for anybody to come
into Germany.

STATE DEMOCRATS MUST
DEAL WITH NUGENT
CONTINUED from Page u

The position of Nugent in the
Democratic Party presents an in
teresting study from the standpoint
of practical politics. There he is,
the leader of one of the two largest
counties in the state, a pivotal
county, without which victory has
been many times impossible. 1t is
somewhat of an "As Essex goes
so goes the state" 1t is the largest
Republican county in the state, just
as Hudson is the largest political
division in the Democratic column.
In all four Democratic victories for
government since 1910 it has been
necessary to either carry Sussex
or to hold its Republican majority
to such a small margin as to be
practically without effect in the gem
eral state result. On the occasion
in 1916 when the state elected a Re-
publican governor, Edge, Essex was
in the Republican column hal year
to the tune of something like 81. 900
majority.
Yet what has Nugent been giving
in the way of recognition? Possibly
his break with Woodrow Wilson in
the first year of the latter's admin
istration prevented any of the big
= pau biAoSO 6oAA1S " AhlN
al county. The Essex leader can
be blamed for that himself to a Ger
tain extent at least in failing to get
along with the man whom he had a
big part in helping to elect.
But what big state office, such as
supreme court justice, circuit court
judge. or positions such as clerk
in chancery, supreme court clerk,
secretary of state, have zone to re-
ward any Essex Democrat during
the administrations of Fielder, Ed
wards or Silzer? Last winter for
mer Judge Charles Herr, a Nugent
lieutenant, was DESTROYS of becom-
ing state commissioner of banking
and insurance, but the place went
to a Union county man. Herr has
always been an active party man in
Essex, yet the $4,000 office he
sought went to an appointee who re
fused even to u for a state sena
tor in Union County in 1922 when
his party was badly in need of a
candidate.
Politics is a practical business.
Organizations and leaders thrive on
the distribution of the Offices which
are bestowed when the party is in
power. In this way the party,
through its representatives in the
offices, assumes the responsibility
vested in it when the voters gave
it that power. There has been Demo.
cratic victory after victory in New
Jersey in recent years, yet the party
in Essex-the county of all needed
to win-has been forgotten after the

failure to win this year in that coun-

a truck on a restricted roadway. Ar
raigned in the second district court,
Stapleton the following day he was
given a suspended sentence on this
charge. When asked where he OBJ
tanned the beer O'Brien told Cros-
sen it came from a nan named Max
Shapiro. New Brunswick avenue,
Perth Amboy. The two have been
out on bail since their arrest last
month. A new ruling of Commits
sioner McCabe of the Federal Dis
trict court Brooklyn hereafter will
make it inconvenient for those be-
ing arrested for violating the Vol
stead act. No bail will be accepted
at the police station as before and
all those arrested must have some
one go over to Brooklyn or be de-
tanned at the station house until ar
raigned in court.
