BERLIN PRICES UP 300 PERCENT Rich Huns Boyght _ Heavily Thruout War Berlin, Feb. 18.—Prices in Berlin de- partment stores have increased on nn average of 300 per cent. Farniture costs five times as much as before the war. Cotton and wool goods have zone up 1,000 per cent. The smallest rise was in tlissware. It went up only 100 per cent. The figures are given by A. Wer- theim, merchant prince of Berlin. Wertheim owns four huge depurt- ment stores. The main store is in Leipzigerstrasse. He employs 10,600 persons, “We only have one-third as many customers now,” Wertheim said, “but our receipts are about the same as be- fore the war because of price in eS, “Women munition worke good customers. They cheerfully bought dress goods at 15 and 20 marks a meter feet 3 inches), where be- fore the they only paid one mark (24 cents) or a mark and a half a meter. “Business slumped terribly the first ; three months of the war. The next} two years it was normal. During the! past two years receipts were normal, ! but the number of customers lower.” PRIESTS PROVE | GOOD FIGHTERS N. E. A.

As a matter of fact an airplane recent- ly carried an, upright plano from Lon- don to Paris along with several pas- sengers, This was done to demon- strate the lifting and carrying power of the plane. It was one of the huge bombing types which are dropping ex- plosives upon the Rhine cities, and of course used for war purposes. However, it may be safe to predict that peace will not slow up the prac- tical progress of aerial transportation. It is not unlikely that within the pres- ent generation airplanes, will be as The skyboats will be manned by the young fellows who are either war aviators or are In training for that work, So, it is probable that these aviators of the future will guide the sky vans which will move our furniture. For, if an upright plano can be moved from London to Paris in war times, it ap- pears feasible to move upright, grand, or any kinds of pianos or furniture from one section of the city to another fm peace times. Granted that a suitable landing place may be provided for the moving planes, so that the furniture may be transferred without injury, a great many of the worries of moving day will become as forgotten as the discomforts of traveling via ox wagon. _ In Its smooth passage through the air china- ware and the glass of the bookcase wil! not be in’danger of being broken.

Jt stands on the wide, sheil-torn and deeply trenched neck of-lamd—base of the peninsula on which the town is bullt— where for 144 days the suattered rem- nant of a British army withstood a double slege of constant bombardment and slow starvation, This obelisk was raised by the Turks to commemorate the surrender of General Townsend and their vic- tory over the British forces that had tried so long and so heroleally to re- fleve him, To me'it was an exclama- tion point to puncuste, my own aston- ishment!

Naturally, being continually on the move, a warship is § less satisfactory gun platform than the solid earth, Even in the calmest sea vessels coh- Stantly bil from side to side. ‘Theoretically, the best time to fire is at the moment between the rolls, when the deck is perfectly level. It is prac- tically impossible, however, to fire ex- sctly at that moment: No matter how careful the gunner may be, he fires his gun just before or dust after the proper instant. The rule in the American’ navy is to “wait for the downward roll”—that Is, fire at the moment the ship is about to move down through the motion of the. waves. The maxim in the British navy is exactly the reverse; that is, “wait for the upward roll,” a rule that ‘as been observed from the very earli- est days of fighting by. the gunnerg in British ships.
