oi Herman wardrobes, in order to col
bet 1.000,000 civilian suits for wai
v nrkers, are the subjects of satin
in many of the newspapers in Her
Jin and elsewhere.
Th** Vorwaerts chuckles over tin
] nssibilitv that Von Hertling may
hav»- to appear at court in patchec
j.mts and that Von Kuhlmann may
:rri\e at fin- peace conference with
i .ilcd elbows. One humorist suggests
that, to save clothes, all persons over
' r. years of age he ordered to remain
hi bed until eighteen months aftei
ilie war Another recommends wide
pread cultivation of the tig tree.
The threats have, however, had ef
I 'd. In Munich, it is reported, thir
teen thousand complete suits have
Ici'ii given up, although only 11,50*
were demanded.
Berlin is still hopelessly behind
;in«l many complaints ot unfairness

required from tin* metropolis, eigh
times more than was demanded fron
Munich, whereas Berlin is only foui
times the size ef Munich
Complaints are manifest of hard
ship'1 on the lower and middle classes
Radical newspapers accuse the uu
thorities of undue consideration t<
the wealthy classes.
On the other hand, one of the em
peror’s court chamberlains indig
nanfly writes to the papers that h»
offered a good suit with the linim
somewhat damaged, but it was re
fused, and he is now wearing it him

How Washington Landlords Gouge Their Tenants
WHEN n brand-new population about the size of a manufacturing city Uke
South Beud drops in unexi>ectedly upon a small-sized large town, already
completely filled, such an Washington, there are bound to be a fesr crates of
relatives In the consignment. Conse
| ONLY quently the residential sections of
K $100 national capital early In the’A 'u
_ become an omnibus family reunion.
IN ADWkarc wlteroin pop and mom soon were all
FORTTM* Fed up with visitors.
RnrvM ‘Tome and see us one day while
r\UOC| you're here,” they said over the tele
phone to me, with all the warmth of
Charles Evans Hughes opening his
/ front door and finding a delegation of
*» California voters on the front stoop.
Now. If they had only asked me to
come up even for one night 1 might have given three rousing cheers. Not a
chance. Still, I had no grudges; they're more to he pitied than censured.
I tacked around circles and squares enough to learn that In a war-time
Washington there are, to wit: Hall liedrooms (or lf-you-ean-get-'em hall bed
t rooms) of an antebellum rental of $10 a month which suddenly have puffed up
Into helium if-you-ean-get-'ems at $40 and $50 a month; that very swagger
houses which recently wore rented for $10,000 a year now bring SZ5.000 yearly;
that oue lady, who had an unfurnished apartment for which she paid $90 a
month, hud patriotically rented the rooms, furnished, during the first war winter
Ht a rule of only $500 a month, pocketing $.'1,000 for six months as her slight bit
towurd winning the war; that nntebellum furnished apartments in the JllSO-n
month class bring often $350 and more a month in helium days—that befo'-de
wah—ouh wuh—lluls, unfurnished at $75 now commonly are rented at $250
furnished Aliout the only government priority certificate which u man of
Influence cannot get Is a priority certificate for a room and bath.
It's safe to say that the only vacant thing to bo found In Washington was
the German embassy, which Is still respected us an embassy, although empty—
respected, one might say, a hodderned sight more than when It wasn't empty.—
l'ruuk Ward O’Malley in the Century Magazluo.
