PRICES REACH
HIGHEST MARK
IN FRANCE
PARIS, Feb. 25 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—Americans
are cheerfully paying the exorbitant
prices charged them for necessities in
France, while the natives pay and
groan, declared an Associated Press
correspondent who has been making
an investigation of French high cost
of living. Three American newspaper
men recently paid $2 for a taxicab
ride that the taximeter showed should
cost about 70 cents. A meal without
wine for the three hungry scribeB
cost $20.
The following figures show the dif
ference between the prices now pre
vailing in France and those of the
ante-war days:
Butter, $2 a pound, against 30 cents
before the war; eggs, $2 a dozen,
versus 22 cents, and vegetables rang
ing from 14 to 50 cents could be ob
tained for 4, 5 and 6 cents previous to
the war. Cheese has advanced from
= 40 cents to 90 cents; coffee from 40
cents to $1.90. Meat has advanced
300 per cent; chickens which were 60
cents are now $2, and very slim birds
at that.
The cheapest business suit can not
be obtained under $50, to which must
be added $10 as a luxury tax. Silk
stockings sell for $3 a pair, and one
must be careful to use the subway as
much as possible in order not to walk
through them on the first day, espe
cially when (he $14 pair of shoes
which one is wearing absorb damp
ness like a $4 sponge. Washing comes
high at 30 cents a cake, and a bath is
a luxury.
Monsieur Jusserand, the French am
bassador in Washington, recently has
returned after a long absence. The
collars for which he used to pay 13
francs the dozen now are 39.50 francs
in the same great shop at which he
has been trading twenty years, and
his 16-franc hat has mounted to 40.
Frying a $2 steak for two in a $4
saucepan is a privilege enjoyed only
by the rich, and a glass of beer at
20 cents, plus a 5-cent tip to the
waiter, tastes very bitter to a thirsty
wayfarer.
The laboring class at one time was
eating much rice. But lately that
commodity reached figures out of pro
portion to the salaries of the work
ingmen.
A few days ago Food Minister Boret
caused the arrest of speculators who
were offering rice for sale at 40 cents
per pound. It turned out that the rice
had been obtained from the food min
istry at the legal price of 16 cents
per pound. But it had had a circuit
ous journey before reaching the con
sumer, passing through six alleged
brokers, who in turn levied a percent
age on the rice. They were each
fined 200 francs and costs.

FOREIGNERS IN BERLIN
MUST REPORT TO POLICE
BERLIN, March 29.—Foreigners
resident or staying temporarily in
Berlin have been ordered again to re
port to the police.
When the revolution broke out the
rigid rules concerning registration of
aliens were summarily wiped out
along with other police regulations for
which Berlin was famous. The new
freedom thus accorded visitors proved
expensive for Germany, as it opened
her frontiers to a promiscuous influx
of foreigners, especially Russians, who
showed themselves to be skillful in
eluding the police dragnet which was
thrown out in connection with the
widespread Bolshevik agitation.
Besides foreign political agitators,
criminal elements from all parts of
Germany were attracted to Berlin by
the disorders which made the capital
a lucrative field for their operations.
The ten weeks' administration of
former Chief of Police Eichhorn
served to wreck almost completely the
efficient police organization for which
Berlin was well known. The work of
rehabilitating the system is proceed
ing slowly but with determination.

WOUNDED BUT
MAKES FIGHT
FORDISABLED
LONDON, March 8.—(Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—Seat
ed in a chair in the House of Com
mons today, because he had lost both
legs in action while fighting in France,
Major Cohen, a member from Liver
pool delivered an impassioned address
in which he pleaded for honesty on
the part of the government in dealing
with disabled officers and men of the
army and navy.
It was the first debate, on the pen
sion question, which promises to be
come one of the most stirring features
of the session. One speaker charged
that preparing disabled men to meet
tile realities of life had not been car
ried very far, because only ninety of
ficers and less than eight thousand
men of the hundreds of thousands of
wounded had up to this time been
given technical training. Another
charged that the discharged man who
was physically fit was in much better
situation than the sick, as tubercular
soldiers were being charged $1.75 a
week for treatment in sanitoriums, al
though they had already paid for this
in their national insurance.
These and other charges brought
from Major Cohen the flat statement
that it was not training so much as
work after they were trained that dis
abled soldiers desired. In fact, he
was opposed to the whole government
plan of training men in certain cent
ers, because only a limited number of
trades could be taught and there was
no assurance of subsequent employ
ment when the government turned
the men out. He believed that dis
abled men should be apprenticed to
leliable firms who, when the men had
mastered trades, would be only too
glad to retain them in their positions,
as they would know just what they
could do, and could gauge their wages
accordingly.
These men would have their pen
sions which, Major Cohen said, he
Imped would be enough to enable
them to live comfortably. But every
man wanted something else. Millions
of men had been wounded, and now
they were back in civil life they want
ed something other than thinking of
the war and its effects. They wanted
something to do, something to look
forward to. The totally disabled
men, he concluded, were worthy of
something other than being observed
as incurables.
During the debate it was brought
out that an officer, leading his battery
from the line, had been thrown from
his horse and killed. The application
of his widow for a pension had been
refused on the ground that he had not
been killed In action.
Total pensions and allowances
granted to January 1 last was given as
1.780,000, and to these figures fresh
awards numbering 15,000 to 20,000
were added weekly. The current
financial year will show a total pen
sion expenditure approximating $250,
000,000, it was stated, with some
42,000 soldiers still under treatment
by the medical corps.
