COAL PASS TO A BALL

[ EVERY DANCER TO BRING 1 > LUMP l -- . BERLIN, Jan. 1. The advertisement of a dance here stipulates that a coal “briquette” must be brought by every dancer in order that the rooms may be heated. “FOOD PARCEL PRESENTS. Details of the scheme elaborated by Mr Hoover, the American food distribution expert for remedying the German food shortage by “food parcel presents” from the United States are given in the Berlin Press. Warehouses have been rented at Danzig and Hamburg, and these will be stocked with foodstuffs. Anyone in the United States who wants to send a food parcel to anyone in i Germany will be able to buy a ticket at almost any bank, and the ticket will be sent to the recipient of the parcel in Germany, who will then be able to claim from the American distribution agents here a packet of food corresponding with the value on the ticket. The ; scheme comes into effect on Tuesday. DEARER CIGARETTES. Satisfaction is expressed in the semiofficial Allgemeine Zeitung at the agreement of the Allies to . Germany’s request for the imposition of Customs duties on goods entering the country. It is expected that such articles as cigarettes and chocolate, of which enor-

mous quantities have been imported recently, will rise, greatly in price.
