recognition of private property, have been effected and general rallying to Russia is possible by all Russians of whatever class, he thought the soviet system would be likely to continue for some time. Even after radical change in the Russian administration, Russian life and activities would naturally con- centrate in the provinces and be more or less outside the control of the central government.
 ''To my mind" the ambassador said, 'the central government will neces- sarily be poor and feeble. with small budget and a limited authority. Russia will organize from the bot tom upward; the development of local life and authority will precede that of the central government. When the moderate elements in the bol- shevik party become it's leaders the reforms will become possible, and then the entire Russian world can cooperate for the reconstruction of their country"
 Basil Maklakoff was appointed am- bassador to Paris by kerensky, but before he arrived in France to pre- sent his letters of credence the bol- shevik upheaval startled the world. He has, however, continued to serve as unofficial ambassador in some thing the same sense as Boris Bak- matieff at Washington. He pos sesses the confidence of the French government and people. to whom he has interpreted Russia's national de- sires and hopes. A constitutional democrat and a fervent believer in popular government, he is likely to play an important role in Russias political future, as mediator be- tween the all extremists, whether they be bolsheviks or imperialsts. cup .itn2etll2 456 ..6 ..6 ..6 ..666

Unter den Linden, with the result that it is ceasing to have importance as retail street Motor transporta- tion is carrying well-to-do Berliners far west of the Tiergarten to Grune- wald, Wansee and even to Potsdam.
 Friederich street and other narrow retail streets which cross Inter den Linden are also becoming less i'm portant as the result of the shifting of the better residence centers to the westward The better theatres and cafes are also moving westward. The state opera house, which was built in the time of Frederick the Great, is so old-fashioned and has been reconstructed so often that it will probably be replaced in a few years by new building much nearer to the homes of operagoers.

FORMER PREMIER. SAYS B0LSHEv|sM
 RUNNING R USSlA X
Right of Private Property Key To Solution of
 Problems

PARIS, April 1.-The renewed in- terest of western Europe in the Russian, problem is evidenced by an article contributed to the magazine Revue des Deux Mondes by Count w. Kokotzoff, who was Russian min ister of finance in 1894 in success sion to Count Witte, and who filled the post of premier under the Czar from 1911 to 1914.
 Kokovtzoff takes up the present Russian economic situation from every standpoint and endeavors to prove that Bolshevism has, by steady and inevitable stages, brought about the economic ruin of Russia. For the reconstruction of Russia the writer believes that the right of private property must be re-estab- lished and that the Bolshevicks must renounce the system of monopolies and capitalism conducted by the soviet state which he insists strangles the economic development of the country. External and inter- nal commerce must become the ex- elusive prerogative of private in- itiative; nationalized industry and transportation must be denational- ized and, above all elementary just ice must reign in Russia and every Russian must be allowed to breathe freely on his native soil.
 O O O
 Less COnciliatOry.
 To win these and other reforms Kokovtzoff is convinced that the total liquidation of the soviet regime is essential He therefore is less conciliatory toward bolshevism than Basil Maklakoff, Russian ambassador to France. who. in a recent inter view with the Associated Press. fore saw the possibility of unified Rus sian effort to reconstruct Russia be- fore the total annihilation of the soviet regime. Further developing his ideas in this respect Ambassador Maklakoff told the correspondent that when essential reforms. like

CHEAP LIVING IN
 GERMANY q L 1 LURES AMI: E:R|CANS
Cost Of PROVISIONS Is Regu- lated in Occupied 
 Area

COBLENZ, April 14.-The cheap liv- ing in this part of the Rhine coun- try continues to attract many Amer jeans abroad. many of whom came here originally to visit the American occupation zone.
 The occupied territories all along the Rhine enjoy the advantage Of having prices regulated, in a manner not possible in unoccupied Germany, where Americans and other stran- gers sometimes complain they are overcharged, or else compelled to pay higher prices than Germans. The living is cheap because of the relative worthlessness of the mark when exchanged for the dollar or the pound sterling.
 How it works out for the German Is another matter. What is cheap 10 the foreigner is dear to him.
 In the case of automobile drivers, the American may use a taxi for Q lay, and the entire bill will not be rore than three or four dollars. out ,f which sum the driver gets the equivalent of 25 cents.

 Pay of WOrkmen.
 In other words, the average daily pay of the skilled workman is 3,OOa to 4.eoOl marks. This also applies to ailway workers of all classes
 When is noted that a mans Ihirt costs 15,000 to 20.0e0 marks. Ind a pair of shoes 3o,0O0 to 60.000 marks, and both articles of second grade quality, it may be inferred low nigh the depreciated mark has out the cost of living for the Ger ran.
 One of these skilled laborers. now Iriving an automobile for hire, was ln infantry captain during the war After the war, he worked for the British army of occupation. and by great good luck made some money gan selling off supplies. He ac sI mulated a capital in marks the Equivalent of s10,oo0.
 . With this sum he decided to buy tarm and take his wife and children to the country. He bought 300- lcre farm near Coblenz and went to work. His surplus he invested in farm equipment, horses, stock ana seeds.
 By the summer of 1920 he had fine harvest. but the diminished value of the mark cut his crop and land values in two. This process continued until he faiAd.
 He sold most of his land and Is now obliged to work for few thou sand marks day, with the mark still depreciating in value and prices going higher. He and his family now eat black bread and wear rags

ITALIAN GOVERNMENT SEEKS OIL RESERVE
Nation Feels Need For Sources Of
 Petroleum

ROME, April 14-wildcatting for oil Is to become an established 1tal- ian speculative activity.
 The absence of any mineral oil pro- duction throughout the Italian penin- sula has caused the government to consider means for the discovery of any ell deposits within the borders. A ministerial committee. headed by Premier Mussolini, has been formed to promote proposals for the devel opment of oil lands. The Ls~mittee has already held several meetings.
 ItalY's need for her own oil and her absolute dependence on importation of oil fronf abroad has been given weighty consideration by every min istry The importance of oil. espe- cially in time of war, has urged itself upon the present government with the result that the newly constituted ministerial oil committee intends to give all the encouragement and as sistance possible In the discovery of deposits.
 The committee Is expected by a system of subsidies and premiums to foster the formation of oil com panies to undertake drilling. Little or nothing is known of any oil de- pCsits in Italy at present. Many of Italy's public men have constantly contended that there are mineral de posits in the volcanic strata, and that among these deposits is oil.
 Meanwhile, the Sindacato Nazionale Combustibili, an Italian development corporation, has already started ne gotta tions for oil lands in Albania English and American companies also have been negotiating with the Al banian government for oil conces sions. but. as yet, that government has concluded no contracts with for eign oil companies. The Italian cor poration expects. through diplomatic channels, to secure the consent of the Albanians to drill. It has approached the Italian government asking it's aid and protection in the development of Albanian. oil and requests the right to build the necessary oil stations in Bari, Brinsdisi and Venice. It has also appealed to the government for a royalty on every ton Of crude oil shinned into ItalY

GERMAN BANKERS
 HUGE SUMS' FOR SKYSCRAP ERS.
Buildings Which Soar Upward In Berlin Belong To
 FinanCiers

BERLIN, April 14.-Berliners are hardly less agitated about the high exchange on the dollar and pound than they are about the increasing height of buildings on Unter den Linden.
 The buildings which are soaring upwards are all bank structures. That makes it even harder for the German with depreciated marks, for he feels that the bankers have In some mysterious way manipulated exchange to his disadvantage. To the average Berlin man, the high of flee buildings are monuments to war profiteering. German architects, es- pecially those who have no commits sions for high buildings, foresee an other Wall street district along Un= ter den Linden in the viSrity of the university, the state opera and old palace. They preuiet that St. Hedwig's church. just south of the opera house, will soon be swallowed up as Trinity church is. and almost completely hemmed in by overshad- owing office buildings
 Two skyscrapers have already made their appearance on Unter den Linden. At least Berliners call them skyscrapers. They would be lost alOnSSlue New 1OTk IlOHSlci d9 they really are only about ten sto- ries, and their upper floors are well camouflaged under receding tile roofs, which lessen 'the discord with surrounding buildings of only halt the height.

 Skyline Is Ruined.
 But Berliners insist the wonderful skyline of Inter den Linden is al ready ruined One of the bank build ings is near the Brandenburger gate. The other is near the opera house. Unter den Linden. with it's wide grass plot and bridlepath in the cen ter, is so spacious that buildings of greater height will not darken the boulevard. But the cross streets are narrow. One of the new bank build ings is at the corner of Charlotten street, which Is so narrow that ten ants are complaining bitterly of the lessenng of their light and air. there were no buildings permitted in Berlin which exceeded five or six stories. and there was little steel used in construction. Most of the banks have found themselves pressed for space under the frantic financing which has been brought about by post-wa conditions, and are adding floors to the tops of their buildings. In some cases steel is used, but most of the extensions upward are of ma sorry alone.
 With the disappearance of shs en- peror and the great military organi- zation. Unter den Linden has become far less of a parade ground than It was under the old regime. Berlin IS growing westward. The better resi- dences are springing up miles west of

The best known of these, entitled "The Pearls" is de- cidedly dramatic in quality and has been filmed by Swedish company. One of the princes latest works, Among Dwarves and Gorillas in Africa" is a colorful and lively de- scription of his recent hunting and exploring trip in Africa. A transla ton of this work is about to appear in England, and it is reported that negotiations are being carried on for an American edition.
