BATHS FOR SOLDIERS
COAL BARON’S CHURLISHNESS. A NEAT COUNTER. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received February 4, 10.30 p.m.) LONDON, February 3. The “Morning Post’s” Dussddori correspondent gives a quaint example of the French treatment of a recalcitrant industrial magnate. One of the minor German coal barons, occupying a fine mansion near his mines, churlishly refused the French soldiers guarding the mines permission to use the baths provided for the miners. “Very well. Monsieur.” replied the French officer, “if that is inconvenient we will meet your wishes. From to-morrow my men _ will use your bathrooms in your private house.” The coal baron now regrets his decision. ART TREASURES CONFISCATION THREATENED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received February 4, 5.5 p m.) BERLIN, February 3. . “Der Nachrichten,” published in Dresden, states that the French authorities have ordered the Museum officials to draw up a list of the best works of art in the public and private collections, the intention being to confiscate them against the payment of reparations. The Dresden picture gallery is worldrenowned, and the Museum Johanneum contains the finest porcelain in the world.
