PARIS SHORT OF COAL
!BLEAK WINTER OUTLOOK PLIGHT oFI-lOSPITALS PARIS. Oct. 31. With the temperature in the lower forties, Parisians are beginning to shiver and the prospect of facing a winter which it is predicted will be severe, without fuel for heating, is arousing anxiety, says the Daily Telegraph's correspondent in Paris. Stocks of coal in all the larger cities are almost non-existent and the lack of transport is paralysing the delivery of coal from the northern mines. The situation in the Paris hosoilals is particularly worrying. Operations are being delayed because of lack of adequate heating for the operating theatres. Instead of the necessary 11.000 tons monthly, the hospitals have so far received 4000 tons which is liable to a sharp curtailment shortly. Conditions in the Paris flats, most of which lack open fires and depend on central heating, is becoming most unccmfsrtable and overcoats are already being worn regularly in private apartments and offices.
