(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Berlin faces a winter with little or no coal and consequent freezing conditions, lack of electricity, gas and lighting and in addition a shortage of dwell ings. . , Up to now the government has in most cases contented itself with appealing to house owners who have more than enough room to volun teer some space to those without shelter.- Replies Are Few. ' The replies have been exceedingly few, and those in power are ser iously considering an adaption of the system in vogue in Budapest and Munich during the soviet re gimes. That is authorites would forceibly take over parts of certain houses. ' . A Berlin magistrate has ordered alt the war companies, most of them in process of dissolution or entirely dissolved, out of their spacious quarters, which they have enjoyed for the period of the war, to provide places for those who have no homes. : Confiscate Homes. Neukoelln, a surhurb of Berlin, has attempted to help solve the sit uation by building emergency houses. Another surburb, Gruenau, pro poses to confiscate the dwellings of bachelors and put families in them, though it is not stated what would e done with the bachelors. Other sarburbs plan to confiscate, for the winter at least, the homes of sum mer guests that stand empty all win ter, and fill them with the homeless. One surburb has already taken this step . French Woman Fears Reading of Love Tale Aloud in, Courtroom neeial Cable to International New , Service and Londea Daily Express. Paris, Oct. 18. Although "Mme. Centkilos," the fat lady of the French Rogues' gallery, refused to tell the police where she is living, they! discovered her address. Armed with a search warrant the police visited her abode and from the papers discovered that madame is still carrying on her system of swindling by pretending to arrange rich marriages. , v She has also been writing a novel with a passionate love interest. Perhaps this has been inspired by a young Italian officer who, according to the hotel keeper has been visiting-madame daily. When examined by the magistrate madame said: "Please do not read my manuscript aloud in my presence. It T'might make me blush." . Since she was 30 years old she is now over SO Mme. Centkilos has rarely been out of jail , for more than a few months at a time, but her last sentence caused her to lose a lot of weight. ' Each time she is sentenced the judge adds a period of banishment, but madame always turns up again. Afjter 40 Years Love v ' -Is Fanned Into Flame ... York Haven, Pa., Oct. 18. George F. Irwin of Lorraine, O., left York Haven for the west, leaving the sweetheart of his younger days be hind him. As time went on the fire of their love smouldered low so low that each chose another part ner. '''' s But as Old Man Time interrupted the romance, the Grim Man with tKe Scythe, so it seems, resolved to mend it. Both the husband of Mrs. Susan Sipe and the wife of George ,F. Irwin died. Then the fire of the early 'ove affair was again fanned into flame, with the result that Irwin, at the age of 7, came back to York Haven to marry Mrs. Sipe, two years his junior. The marriage ceremony was per- - formed at the home of the bride by Justice of the Peace John S. Fishel. The couple will re?ide at York Haven. - Sells Potatoes at Real Value, Not Market Price ' Waynesboro, .Pa., Oct. 18. There is at least one woman in Waynes- ,boro whew does not worship Mam mon.

' .' r This I (ha first of a series of .articles on s separata Department ot Aeronautics contributed by tna American f lying ciuo. "To watch these machines is to get an impression that there is more aerial activity In the United States than anywhere else in the world. But such, unfor tunately, is not the case. Amer ica has lagged far behind the other nations in the development of aviation the visit of the Amer ican Aviation mission proved this. The transcontinental race, it is hoped, will awaken the peo ple of the United States to take aviation seriously in national de fense and v commerce. America should lead the world in avia tion." Statement by the Assist ant Secretary of VVar Benedict Crowell, on starting the airplanes in the , army's transcontinental race. x The American Flying club, which represents the service and civilian aviators -of the United States, 'takes cognizance of the words of the as sistant secretary of war,, and in this and subsequent articles will en deavor to present truthfully the present deplorable situation in aero nautics and to propose a remedy. A doH of the 1,2'JO or more mem bers of the American Flying club was taken recently and more than 99 per cent were in favor of the es tablishment of a separate depart ment of aeronautics. Speaking with , . v authority of the membership, Lau rence L. Driggs, president, said: "Aviation must be taken from the hands of those who are indifferent to its development and placed un der the protection of its friends." Here are some facts about the United States air service: Personnel Badly Diminished. The personnel has beep permitted to decrease so rapidly since the armistice that up to the time an emergency bill was passed by con gress, providing for the temporary transfer of officers from the other branches, there would have remain ed only 215 regulars, these detailed also from the cavalry, infantry and artillery, , Becapse of the failure to get air planes in prpduction "until late in the war, and due also to the fact that immediately on the signingof the armistice the War and Navy departments canceled practically all outstanding contracts,, the United States air service stands today with practically no pursuit airplanes ex cept a very small number of ma chines obtained fromthe British and the French. The, equipment possessed by the air service con sists chiefly of training planes and some 3,000. De Haviland bombing ajid observation planes which are in no wise suited to pursuit purposes, and which, from a military stand point, are-now obsolete. Due to the failure of congress to formulate a fixed aeronautical pol icy, the aircraft industry which was built ur during the war has been permitted. to disintegrate until it is estimated that fully 90 per cent has liquidated and the dissolution of tne remaining 10 per cent is believed to be imminent. The result is that the oroductive capacity of American aircraft plants is today practically nil. And, what is more, should a definite policy be adopted over night it would be physically impos sible for the air service to obtain the new equipment" with which other governments are providing their aerial arms oetore almost a year and a half. . . - . First Plane American. The airplane belongs to America by right of discovery. The first flight ever made by man in a heav-ier-than-air machine was mad by Wilbur and Orville Wright at Kill Devil Hill at Kitty Hawk, N. C. September 14, 1902. Prof. Samuel Pierpont Langley, director of the Smithsonial Institution, had preced ed the Wrights in his scientific in vestigations and had actually pro duced a heavier-than-air machine, which he flew under its own power, but without, however, carrying a pilot. Langley was a man without capital. He had nowhere else to turn than to his employers, the United States. He obtained some small appropriations, which were insufficient to enable him to continue his work. Wiser than Langley, the Wrights persisted patiently in their work, and then went abroad, where, in France, they found official recogni tion. A similar experience awaited Curtiss and other pioneers. But in time they returned to the United States to endeavor to work out the development of man's dominion of the air. How well they succeeded, how sympathetic a hearing they obtained kis revealed by the fact that during the Mexican border troubles prior to entrance into the great war the air service of the United States con sisted of a bare dozen airplanes, ob solete and . untrustworthy, which were wrecked, one after another. ; Underlying Industry Developed. This was the equipment with an attendant oersonnel of some few hundreds of men that was possessed at the i time war was declared on Germany. Promises of ' men and munitions were made by those who spoke without giving 'full thought to the great work that lay ahead. Yet the air service was created. 1 A quarter of a million men were called into the ranks and an under lying aircraft industry was devel oped. Charter members of the American Flying club those aviators who served overseas with the U. S. army and its allies returned to their homes with two convictions; the first, was that, should there ever be another war, it most certainly would be fought at the outset in the air and on the-outcome of the bat tle in the air would rest ultimate victory; the second was that no na tion could hope to provide an ade quate aerial defense unless it placed aviation in a department of its own where responsibilities would be cen tered and where a career would b offered the men who were needed for the service.

An interesting story comes from the Red River country of Texas, regard ing Captain Anderson, an officer of the British army who hastenedHo America after the signing of the armistice as soon as he could secure his release. He had been reading of oil development in Oklahoma and Texas and upon arrival in New York in May bought a ticket for Wichita Falls. Arriving there he had but $50 left. Part of this he used in an invest ment that proved profitable. The new money was turned back into other property. Captain Anderson took an inventory the other day and announced that he had .made about $250,000 out of the $50.
