H. C. L.
That the whole world is strug
gling with the increased cost of
living is indicated in reports to the
state department at Washington.
The increases in Europe are par
ticularly high, although in Latin
America the governments are anx
ious over the situation and are try
ing to find means of combating the
difficulties presented by the high
prices of commodities deemed essen
tial.
In Portugal, the government, in
an attempt to lower the cost of
living, has placed, through the min
ister of finance, a part of hs gold
reserves in the banks of Lisbon.
■> In England, the cost of living
above pre-war level is figured at 115
percent for September and 120 per
cent for October, as to actual ne
cessities of life, and based upon
average living conditions of wage
earners. A more distinct rise has
occurred in the cost of commodities
so far as the other elements of
population in England are concern
ed, being unofficially estimated by
some at approximately 135 percent,
with a steady upward trend.
In Sweden, figures furnished by
the Swedish government indicate
that the cost of living has increased
157 percent over the cost in June,
1914. In the cities the increase
has been very much greater than
the average for the country.
The Argentine government has
suggested to other South American
countries and discussed with them
an international arrangement with a
view to doing away with import
duties on unmanufactured food
product? as cne means of cutting
down the high cost of living. In
formation which has reached the
state department regarding this plan
is to the effect that a suggestion
has been made that a conference
be called by the Argentine minister
for foreign affairs to discus? this
question of exchange of real neces
sities of life free of customs
charges.
In Brazil the tariff is being re
vised with a view to reducing the
cost of living in that country. In
Uruguay the percentage of increase
of the present cost of living over
the cost in June, 1914. is estimated
by the Uruguayan government at:
food 52 percent, fuel 48 percent,
light 75 percent, rent, no crease.
JAP ROBIN HOODS.
An almost forgotten cnapted in
the history of old Japan was re
vived by the arrival at Tokio re
cently of seventeen so-called Jap
anese Robin Hoods, or ‘‘men of
chivalrous spirit,” who came to seek
governmental aid for their follow
ers.
In the Tokugawa days these men,
known in Japan as “kyokaku," came
Into existence to oppose the tyran
ny of the samurai class and to de
fend the interests of the common
people. Their motto was Po crush
the strong and help the weak. Many
of these people still exist in the
country districts, where they are
now regarded as political bosses or
band leaders.
They have many followers who
have come to be looked down upon
by the masses of the people. Many
of these followers desire to earn
an honest living, but find difficulty
in securing employment. The situ
ation was brought to the attention
of members of the diet, who are
now interceding in behalf of the
modern Robin Hoods.
At the same time the “kyokaku”
have come to Tokio to warn the
government that labor unrest is in
creasing throughout Japan and to
voice their fear that it will assume
a graver aspect if it continues to
spread among the poorer people.
GERMAN HOUSING CONDITIONS
Newspapers from the interior of
Germany paint a gloomy picture of
housing conditions in German cities.
They say that families expelled from
the occupied areas, for one reason
or another, and from Silesia and
East Prussia, wander inland and
have greatly increased the conges
tion in the cities. Steps have al
ready been taken in several cities
to introduce compulsory quartering.
Unless the housing situation im
proves immediately, the newspapers
say that this method of housing the
homeless will have to be resorted to.
The lack of housing facilities,
particularly in the occupied areas
where the troops are quartered, has
been critical for months. In Hol
stein and Frankfort-on-Main and
even Berlin, the shortage of build
ings is complained of by the news
paper writers. In Cassel, just be
yond the British occupied tone, six
thousand families are reported in
need of proper housing facilities
for the winter. In Cologne, work
was started last summer to build
accommodations for the poorer peo
ple, and, owing to this fact, the
requirements there are not so great
as in other cities of the occupied
territory
in Coblenz, headquarters of the
American forces in Germany, the
■shortage of dwellings has reached
such a stage that the city govern
ment recently appealed to Berlin for
aid. It is proposed to build three
hundred frame houses as soon as
possible to care for Coblenz resi
dents whose homes have been requ.
sitioned or people who have other
wise virtually been made homeless.
Coblenz is particularly crowded
owing to the fact that it is the seat
of the Interallied Rhineland High
Commission, which is to be the gov
erning body when the treaty of
peace becomes effective. Hundreds
of civilians connected with the vari
ous Allied missions have brough:
their families to. the city. For
months the city officials have been
co-operating with the American bil
leting offices in an effort to utilize
every available room, apartment,
house, or hotel in Coblenz and its
suburbs.
THE LARGEST AIRSHIP.
The R-38, Great Britain’s largest
airship, recently sold to the United
States, is capable of traveling 34
hours longer without refueling than
'the largest German airship con
structed before the armistice. She
also embodies another achievement
i
iin the aerial constructor’s art. With
'her enormous pas capacity of 2,720.
000 cubic feet, a third larger than
that of the R-34 of transatlantic
fame, the R-38 has a “lifting" pow
jer of 50 tons of cargo. This is 60
; percent of her total “lifting" power,
j 82 tons. The airship’s weight, 32
:ton3, is reckoned as “dead liftage." 1
i The sale is attributed to demands i
i for economy that nave peer, made
Ion the British air ministry. Con-'
Jstruction of the R-38 was begun last ;
'year at Inchinnan, on the Clyde, |
(where the R-34 was built. Her'
| cruising endurance will be 45 miles j
j per hour for nearly nine days. She !
I is 695 feet in length. 25 feet'
;
| longer than the R-34, and her girth •
| is 87 feet 6 inches. The airship is
equipped with four 350-horsepower
Sunbeam Maori engines. Altogeth-,
er she will develop nearly 2,000 j
horsepower. Her speed will be 70 ,
miles per hour.
It is rumored in English areo
nautical circles that she will be
commanded upon her flight to the j
United States, after being complet- !
ed in a few months, by Major Scott, i
who flew the R-34 to America and j
back.
