COBLENZ RETURNING TO GERMAN STATUS AS U. S. BOYS LEAVE

(By Associated Press) COBLENZ, March 21 Coblenz, once the temporary home of thousands of American soldiers, is again returning to its status as a German city.' Within the last four months the American Karrison on the Rhine has been reduced to such an extent that more civilians now are seen on the streets than soldiers, -while a few months ago the city had the appearance of an army cantonment in the United States. Commercially the loss of so many soldiers can be felt throughout the American area. With the rate of exchange well over the 200 mark, prices of all kinds of merchandise had been advanced. Now that the bulk of their trade comes from the German population of Coblenz. the stores are forced to reduce their prices to fit the pocketbooks of their customers. Four months ago there were 15,000 American soldiers stationed in the American area. Within that brief period the force here has been reduced by 9,000 men. The American garrison

in Coblenz today is smaller than the German force maintained here before 1914.

Charity Without Expense By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

not able to car for so many charges indefinitely, however. The Friend3 who have worked in maty countries of Europe say that the Austrian children' are the most pitiful of all. One Reasoned relief worker finally had to leave Vienna, "I could stand seeing Russia's tragic need," she said, "because it seemed a crisis and we were working toward betterment But Austria is slipping back, and her plight is terrible." Austria, the United States is told. Is not asking for charity now. She has reached a place where gifts of bread and clothing are not enough. The country is slipping into a moras3 of starvation and poverty, and the United States is watched as the na tion that nas power to save Austria from complete downfall. ' United States Holds Key to Situation. The United States is asked to extend the time of payment on the Autrlan loan, and even more urgently she is asked to release her hold on Austrian assets, so that the country mav negotiate further loans. Miss Helen Todd, representing the American Friends Service committee, the American Relief committee for sufferers in Austria, and the Women's International league, explains that there is no reason why we should net do this, and a number of reasons whv we should. Whether we agree to extend the time limit on our loan or not, Austria cannot pay as matters

stand. Ana if Austria cannot pay the $24,000,000 which she borrowed in

foodstuffs from the United States Grain corporation, we should lose

nothing by an extension of the time

With this help the country may be able to get on its feet and in that

event it expects to pay its creditors. But even if the United States does so. the country cannot hope to pay unless it can borrow money to tide it over the present hopeless situation.

A year ago, the allies saw that Austria was sinking further into difficulties instead of getting on firm ground. Consequently at the request of the Supreme Council, England, France, Italy and Japan agreed to release the Austrian assets, given as security on loans

' and thus allow Austria to borrow

WASHINGTON, March 21. "I will play to you of Vienna as she was. I cannot play of Vienna as she is today it would break your heart. I can only play at all because of the hope

which may come to Austria if you are kind." With these plaintive words Fritz Kreisler prefaced his playing of a gay Viennese air at a public mass meeting held here in behalf of Austria. The meeting was told that the $24.000,000 which America let Austria have to save her from starvation now threatens to force her into starvation in a greater crisis. The paradox is simply explained. We and other nations let Austria have money for grain and necessities and we accepted as security her assets, including the stat-a tobacco monopoly, customs receipts, forests, even her tapestries and pictures. Now, Austria has sunk even deeper under her difficulties. Whereas five Austrian crowns were once exchanged for an American dollar, now 10,000 crowns are needed to balance our dollar. A loaf of bread costs $200 in crowns in Vienna. People in Austria see no advantage in saving any money, because the longer they save it the less It will buy. Starved and in such a financial stato a nation can scarcely survive unless

it can borrow money to start again on

a new financial basis. The barrier which keeps Austria from borrowing and instituting a currency reform is the lien that the United States and other nations hold on her assets. Unless we release our hold on these assets Austria can have no security to offer the British and American financiers who are willing to make he) loans. This is the desperate Austrian situation, explained at the meeting oy Senator McCormick, the former minister of finance of Austria, and by re lief workers. Now, when other nations are slowly or rapidly recovering from the war, Austria has 400,000 children dependent on charity. This army of children a greater number than the population of Vermont, or Arizona has been kept alive mainly by the Friend's Service committee. Relief organizations are

again and try out rehabilitation plans which had the approval of expert European financiers. But it was stipulated by Italy thst the United States and the smaller creditor nations must join in the agreement before Austria could be released from her obligations. Edward A. Filene, of Boston, says: "Of these remaining creditor nations, the United States was the chief creditor and the most influential. It was generally understood that if we acted the other and smaller nations also would act; but since we failed to tako action, other and minor creditors waited for us and the matter was delayed from month to month while Austria drifted nearer and nearer to the financial collapse which finally hos come. f "This delay creates a most danger

ous situation for Austria.' Usually the foremost in all philanthropic work.

the United States ih this case is holding up the procession led by the otlie. powers. If countries such as Belgium and France, themselves cruelly ravished by war, can favor this suspension of the Austrian debt, surely we can do so also especially as Austria is utterly incapable of paying the debt or arrears of interest at present." As Mr. Filene says, the United States delayed action and it looked as if the matter would never get a hearing in congress. There was no one in this country working for it. At last, however, the Friends' Relief Society and the Austrian Relief Committee felt that congress must be aroused to

the urgent need, if not of all Australia, certainly to the need of the 400.000 starving children. The 400,000 Children's Bill As a result, Miss Todd came to

Washington a few days ago on the difficult mission of getting congress to give a little time to "the 400,000 children's bill." This bill, In the form of a joint resolution introduced by Senator Lodge, awaits a hearing by the finance committee of the senate. Miss Todd tells how Senators McCumber, Smoot, and other members of the committee who were struggling with tariff and taxation and "too busy to see anyone this week," surrendered

and listened to her while she explain

ed that the lives of 400,000 children were at etake. She told them that women were interested In the bill because of the children. . "Are they?" asked one senator a trifle skeptically. "I have had no message from women on this proposition." "They are interested," said Miss Todd, "and I will bring to see you some women who want this bill passed." At a meeting organized on two days' notice, she asked women who were interested in the bill and who would go and call on the senators of the committee to rise. Out of a well filled hotel ball room a handful of women arose stragglingly. "I was disappointed," says Miss Todd. "I thought how such an appeal In my state out west would surely have brought every woman eagerly to her feet, and I went home feeling that the east is certainly different from the west. "But I am glad to say I was wrong. The next morning I went to the senate office building, expecting to be the entire delegation perhaps. Instead,

I saw women coming in every diiection. They filled the committee room and th small office and overflowed into the hall.. It was" one of the biggest delegations that has gone to congress since women were, given the vote. -' Everywhere we went the senators were impressed, and we came away with promises of support. "So," Miss Todd concludes, "I learned that women in the east are exactly Jike those in the west. They just go about things differently." . 1 The chances or the finance committee holding a hearing very soon ana reporting the resolution favorably to congress are considered good. Miss Todd says: "There does not seem to be any objection to the United States taking the step. The senate was simply too busy to get around to it until some women ' showed thfm that the fate of 400.000 children depended on it. The fate of 400,000 children is a vital matter to any country in the world."
