BY BERNARD PERSON,

HEIDELBERG. Germany, Ian. Is
British Consul General Give,
stationed at Munich, arrived here
yesterday accompanied by Secretary
Phillips. of the. British embassy at
Berlin. en- route for the Rhineland
Palatinate to investigate the rela-
lions between the secessionists and
France.
Clive/was informed that his pro-
posed visit to the Rhineland Palatin-
ate would be permitted on condition
he was accompanied by a French
civil official. He protested to Cen
era1 De Metz, commander of the
French occupational troops in the
Rhinegold, saying that testimony
taken in the presence of French OF
ficials would be worthless.
British officials here had long
talks with expelled Palatinate
notables, including the burgo-
masters of Speyer and Pirmasens.
They delivered a collection Of
documents to the British to show
that the French have been giving
active support to the separatists.
A serious conflict is threatened at
Speyer between the French &C.
cupational forces and the Palatinate
before the Holy See.
Gen. De Metz issued orders that
0nti-separatist declarations should
not be read from church pulpits.
The declarations had been prepared
for that purpose. 49,
The clerics finally decided to
postpone their declarations but in
sist they will be read next Sunday.
In the meantime a strong protest
IL being sent to Rome.

TOKYO, Jan. 15.-Paris, New
York and other great cities of the
world have their self-operating lunch
rooms, other places of importance
have their various automatic devices
where a customer merely pushes a
button and receives the purchase he
desires. But it remains for Japan
to begin the operation during this
winter season of the self-operating
hotel, place where there is neither
garcon, nor maitre de hotel, where
the table boy, the bath boy and the
dozen or more other varieties OF
servants are absolutely lacking.

The Japanese self-operating hotel
was inaugurated during the month
of November by the keepers of
mountain inns in the north of Tokyo
inns called upon by the winter
mountain climber and in every win.
ter in the past closed to business.
These mountain inns, in the Jap.

ful scenery abounds, are popular all

Gyrations Of Money
Has Crazed Many
German People
By INTERNATIONAL News servlce

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-The strain
of attempting to interpret the
billions and trillions which now
prevail in German currency
into some semblance of intelli-
gible terms, combined with the
economic stress and the fear of
being cheated, has actually
driven number of persons in
sane in this country.
"Zero frenzy" as the mental
malady is branded, is suffered
mainly by older people, who,
accustomed for many years to
estimate in marks and pfennigs,
seem utterly unable to grasp
the significance of the fanciful
figures with which they must
deal now.
Elderly bankers on one or
two occasions have been driven
to suicide by the confusing and
constantly shifting status Of
their financial affairs.
